Neither has been very good this season. I realize it’s verboten to say anything bad about St. Woody, but a lot of Cubs fans were cursing his name the first two months of the 2008 season, so …
I checked for your reply on the first pitch thread several times, and never saw the reply in the other thread.
When I went to Miller Park, I had front row loge seats in section 231, along the left field side. AMAZING view, seeing as there was no one in front of me.
I’m not trying to offend you at all, Bruce. I’ve been using this word to describe Lou for more than a few weeks now, and I think it is more than appropriate.
Taguchi for Hoff, Fuld for Scales, Miles for Fuld. Yep lets run out of outfielders without thinking. Was it really worth it
for Taguchi’s AB. Exactly like the time he used Fuld to pinch hit with two out and no one on and then had to let Fox play
the 9th and misplay a ball but hey Lou is a genius.
but I would be thrilled to have been wrong about Lou since that game last April. I wish he were a great manager who
inspired his players and made terrific in game moves. I really would rather win than be right.
I see no better alternative at this point in time. That’s OK, I have a lot of White Sox fan friends who can’t stand Ozzie, either, and that baffles me, too.
I have enjoyed BCB ever since I found it last year. The last friend I had around hwer who is a Cubs fan moved to Santa Barbera five years ago. I have gone to a playoff game with him in Phoenix and one in LA the last two years. Most of my other cheering is on here.
Games decided in 9th, 9th & 11th. Exciting baseball. Props to Fox. And just another shining example of when Marmol is right, he’s got maybe the most electric stuff in MLB & is just about unhittable.
"Gregg Owns Pujols" thread

For today anyway....

Also the "Motte owns Soto" thread
TJ11 - September 20, 2009
hey, whatever flies your pennant...
ballhawk - September 20, 2009
And I make three here!
Think we should post a jump?
Vermont Cubs Fan - September 20, 2009
Thats Ok Gregg has returned to reality
Walking leadoff hitters in an inning
TJ11 - September 20, 2009
Ludwick looked bad there
TJ11 - September 20, 2009
Why isn't anyone else here?
I did post a jump in the other thread
Vermont Cubs Fan - September 20, 2009
I think the SBN servers are having some issues
ballhawk - September 20, 2009
I think the Chicago Cubs have some issues.
dtpollitt - September 20, 2009
Seems like it.
I could barely get Overflow Thread 1 to reload.
Vermont Cubs Fan - September 20, 2009
Shoulda brought Lilly in...
ballhawk - September 20, 2009
WHAT A SHOCK!
Gregg blew a lead, who didn’t see that coming?
Lou, I guess….
TJ11 - September 20, 2009
Lou's an idiot!
How far are you going to go with this gas can on the mound? You got lucky with Pujols, now you let him blow the lead, what next, the game too??
Itchy - September 20, 2009
Will Marshall pitch to Rasmus?
No its still Gregg! Great idea!
TJ11 - September 20, 2009
Yet another blown save for Wood's replacement!
TJ11 - September 20, 2009
And Wood has blown
a lot of saves himself this year. Not sticking up for Gregg, but Wood ain’t setting the world on fire in the city whose river once caught on fire.
Not Bruce Froemming - September 20, 2009
He pitches once a week for a shitty team, I am sure rust sets in a bit.
Whatever though, he’s better than the shit we have(Gregg)
TJ11 - September 20, 2009
Excuses, excuses
I’d say it’s six of one, half-a-dozen of the other.
Not Bruce Froemming - September 20, 2009
You think they are the same?
TJ11 - September 20, 2009
Yep, I do
Neither has been very good this season. I realize it’s verboten to say anything bad about St. Woody, but a lot of Cubs fans were cursing his name the first two months of the 2008 season, so …
Not Bruce Froemming - September 20, 2009
both of them suck
ok
jesus christos - September 20, 2009
I agree, I would just rather have wood over Gregg
TJ11 - September 20, 2009
wink wink
santoswoodenlegs - September 20, 2009
Why?
I mean, if they both suck, why would it make a difference?
Not Bruce Froemming - September 20, 2009
I like Kerry Wood
I don’t like Gregg-thats all there is to it
TJ11 - September 20, 2009
OK
At least you’re honest. Maybe a little irrational, but honest. :)
Not Bruce Froemming - September 20, 2009
and I moved from a city where the river catches on fire...
…to a city where the river springs a leak. Go figure…
ballhawk - September 20, 2009
Lou only put him in because Heilman pitched yesterday
Doggie Stalker - September 20, 2009
actually I am having trouble getting on
I am going back and forth but I could not access BCB for a while.
Doggie Stalker - September 20, 2009
same here
sue369 - September 20, 2009
You weren't the only one having problems.
I almost couldn’t get Overflow Thread 1 from tonight to load, and then it said no server could handle that request.
I also posted a jump, and it took quite a while for anyone to come over here.
Vermont Cubs Fan - September 20, 2009
It was crapping out on me, too
Don’t know what was going on.
Not Bruce Froemming - September 20, 2009
Maybe Al knows something about this.
OT: I’ve been to Miller Park (and AT&T Park) before.
Where are your seats on Tuesday?
Vermont Cubs Fan - September 20, 2009
Did you not see my reply on the other thread?
They’re in the loge bleachers in right field. I sat there for a game in May, and they were decent seats.
I think I missed your reply to me on the first thread, and you missed my reply to you on the second thread. Story of our lives, I guess. :)
Not Bruce Froemming - September 20, 2009
Seems like it.
I checked for your reply on the first pitch thread several times, and never saw the reply in the other thread.
When I went to Miller Park, I had front row loge seats in section 231, along the left field side. AMAZING view, seeing as there was no one in front of me.
Vermont Cubs Fan - September 20, 2009
Loge-level seats at Miller are great
I usually try to sit there, although usually not in the bleachers.
I realize the Cubs are out of it, but it’s still baseball, and it still will be a good time. You’ll have one, too, I’m sure.
Not Bruce Froemming - September 20, 2009
This will be interesting.
dtpollitt - September 20, 2009
Lou is setting up another walkoff win for the Cardinals
TJ11 - September 20, 2009
Book it
and another national tv circle jerk at home plate!!
Itchy - September 20, 2009
This will be interesting.
dtpollitt - September 20, 2009
this website slowed to a crawl as soon as gregg gave up that hit
i sense rage…
jesus christos - September 20, 2009
You are right
TJ11 - September 20, 2009
so who will get the walkoff today
jesus christos - September 20, 2009
I say it'll be a bases loaded walk.
santoswoodenlegs - September 20, 2009
who will do the walking
jesus christos - September 20, 2009
Whoever Heilman/Marshall/Marmol is pitching to.
santoswoodenlegs - September 20, 2009
only if it is Marmol
Doggie Stalker - September 20, 2009
I'll some piddlin grounder between 3rd & SS and the runner who walked and was sacrificed to 2nd will score
Itchy - September 20, 2009
so the same as yesterday
jesus christos - September 20, 2009
Lou wants to try Fox at 2B
LOL you could hear the disdain in Morgans voice!
eswan9 - September 20, 2009
The announcers comments about Fox were so far off its funny
They said Lou is taking great pains to find playing time for Fox…..Even maybe at 2B
TJ11 - September 20, 2009
2B in the Pioneer League ?
Doggie Stalker - September 20, 2009
that WAS weird
When has anyone outside of BCB mentioned playing Fox at second?
elgato - September 20, 2009
I saw it mentioned once awhile ago - can't remember if it was Trib or SunTimes or somewhere else
ballhawk - September 20, 2009
How the hell do
you screw up Fuld’s name?
sue369 - September 20, 2009
Fooled?
As in, he Fooled them into mispronouncing his name?
Vermont Cubs Fan - September 20, 2009
How the hell do
you screw up a sophomore season following a most excellent ROY-winning 2008 season?
dtpollitt - September 20, 2009
cheetos
jesus christos - September 20, 2009
He is having a horrible time with it
I like when he tries to be fancy with latin names
TJ11 - September 20, 2009
Fald??
eswan9 - September 20, 2009
Feld
sue369 - September 20, 2009
what is the correct way to pronounce his name?
eswan9 - September 20, 2009
Len & Bob pronounce it
like the u in lull.
sue369 - September 20, 2009
Oh ok thanks.
eswan9 - September 20, 2009
yw
sue369 - September 20, 2009
NOOOO MILES!!!
shifafaontheside - September 20, 2009
fuck
sue369 - September 20, 2009
Miles? Did Baker play already?
TJ11 - September 20, 2009
No, he did not.
He should have gone in, IMO.
Vermont Cubs Fan - September 20, 2009
are you f'ing kidding me
jesus christos - September 20, 2009
Now the book fails Lou
eswan9 - September 20, 2009
Miles
What a fuckin joke
Itchy - September 20, 2009
Just an FYI
Last year we clinched the division on Saturday, September 19th.
dtpollitt - September 20, 2009
Lou is mad at the other 2 for getting on base so he's putting an end to this rally now!
TJ11 - September 20, 2009
MILES SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TJ11 - September 20, 2009
jesus christos - September 20, 2009
Lou
Between Gregg and Miles, I take it you believe the season is over.
tharr - September 20, 2009
Lou Pinella has truly gone insane. Senile. Crazy. Unable to manage a baseball team.
dtpollitt - September 20, 2009
Don't throw around words like "senile," please
I know a few people who have had Alzheimer’s, and I wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy.
Although using Miles was not something I would have done.
Not Bruce Froemming - September 20, 2009
Ok he's a jackass
Is that better?
TJ11 - September 20, 2009
well, I know a few people who are jackasses...
ballhawk - September 20, 2009
Just keep making excuses for this horrid team
TJ11 - September 20, 2009
Like congress, let's just outlaw a bunch of words on BCB that could be "offensive"..
staring with the words Aaron Miles.
santoswoodenlegs - September 20, 2009
YOU LIE!
dtpollitt - September 20, 2009
I’m not trying to offend you at all, Bruce. I’ve been using this word to describe Lou for more than a few weeks now, and I think it is more than appropriate.
dtpollitt - September 20, 2009
I realize you aren't, Dan,
but I don’t think it’s an appropriate word at all.
There are plenty of other words that can adequately convey your frustration. Use one of those, OK?
Not Bruce Froemming - September 20, 2009
How bout bitter old man who has had the game pass him by
TJ11 - September 20, 2009
I think Lou has forgotten more about baseball
than any of us ever will know.
Not Bruce Froemming - September 20, 2009
OK, but why did he have to forget all of it this year?
santoswoodenlegs - September 20, 2009
True
But he has managed horribly this year. And that is what matters now. This game is a great example. Bad move after bad move.
TJ11 - September 20, 2009
Maybe the team
is just not that good. For whatever reason.
If the choice is getting shot or getting stabbed, does it really matter?
Not Bruce Froemming - September 20, 2009
The team sucks.......But bad moves do not help
TJ11 - September 20, 2009
Lou's made a few questionable moves this season
but not as many as some people think.
Not Bruce Froemming - September 20, 2009
You don't think he's done that bad a job.
You are one of the few
TJ11 - September 20, 2009
There are a lot more people like me
than you realize.
None of the alternatives — not a one — are better than Lou. I look forward to him leading the Cubs to perhaps the promised land next season.
Not Bruce Froemming - September 20, 2009
You are in the minority here
But I hope you are right
TJ11 - September 20, 2009
Let's not start bashing minorities here....
santoswoodenlegs - September 20, 2009
That was another thread....
TJ11 - September 20, 2009
FIRE HIS ASS!!
He doesn’t give a shit about winning, what the hell is he saving the bullpen and pinch hitters for?? Miles? Goddamn, this a fuckin joke.
Itchy - September 20, 2009
Yes
these posts are a frickin’ joke.
Not Bruce Froemming - September 20, 2009
Bull
I suppose you think sending Miles up there is a good idea?
Itchy - September 20, 2009
Did you read my previous post?
No, I don’t think it was a good idea. I also don’t react to it as if someone had just bludgeoned my entire family.
Get a grip.
Not Bruce Froemming - September 20, 2009
Sorry, I can't soft sell the idiocy that this season has given us
Itchy - September 20, 2009
Miles??
WTF!
PacificCub - September 20, 2009 via mobile
Where was Baker?????????????
Its the 9th inning asshole!
TJ11 - September 20, 2009
Dusty was right
walks do clog the bases.
tharr - September 20, 2009
I liked the shot of lou yelling when Miles swung at a lousy pitch
WTF do you expect? He makes Mario Mendoza look good
shifafaontheside - September 20, 2009
OK
Can we assume Heilman is on his way
tharr - September 20, 2009
why yes you can
sue369 - September 20, 2009
Typical Lou thinking one batter at time
Taguchi for Hoff, Fuld for Scales, Miles for Fuld. Yep lets run out of outfielders without thinking. Was it really worth it
for Taguchi’s AB. Exactly like the time he used Fuld to pinch hit with two out and no one on and then had to let Fox play
the 9th and misplay a ball but hey Lou is a genius.
Doggie Stalker - September 20, 2009
SWL - where's that Captain Ahab graphic for Doggie?
ballhawk - September 20, 2009
She'll kill me.
santoswoodenlegs - September 20, 2009
sissy
ballhawk - September 20, 2009
Marshall can play outfield
Greggle - September 20, 2009
base hit
santoswoodenlegs - September 20, 2009
Game over!
Lou’s screws us once again.
Itchy - September 20, 2009
The beginning of the end has started
TJ11 - September 20, 2009
Heilman? LOL, Jesus Christ
kanderber - September 20, 2009
sean marshall lives!
jesus christos - September 20, 2009
HOW CAN HE BRINGING IN HEILMAN????????
shifafaontheside - September 20, 2009
Lou has dinner reservations
tharr - September 20, 2009
Ask NBF or Vonde
However remember the clock and the blind squirrels so maybe he gets lucky.
Doggie Stalker - September 20, 2009
I admit at this point that we probably lose
But I won’t let it spoil my day. This season is way beyond that for me.
vonde6 - September 20, 2009
but it was like this ALL SEASON
In fact last season too. He can not manage in game moves, he can use a roster.
Doggie Stalker - September 20, 2009
If you were like this in a 97-game-winning season
You need to throttle back your sensitivity meter.
vonde6 - September 20, 2009
I was in fact
Lou was bad then but a better team covered his incompetence especially for the in game decisions.
Doggie Stalker - September 20, 2009
"Incompetence"
Really?
Sigh.
vonde6 - September 20, 2009
that doesn't make Lou's decisions any better
elgato - September 20, 2009
Heilman?????
Jesus Christos!!!!!
Vermont Cubs Fan - September 20, 2009
Is Atkins still on the roster ?
I know Caridad is.
Doggie Stalker - September 20, 2009
Oh, no
Miles strikes out to end the top of the ninth, and DeRosa comes up with a chance to win the game. This is just cruel …
elgato - September 20, 2009
Don't forget Gregg blowing the lead
shifafaontheside - September 20, 2009
and Heilman brought in for good measure
elgato - September 20, 2009
Lou has been trying to throw the game
TJ11 - September 20, 2009
Look, what do you want him to do?
santoswoodenlegs - September 20, 2009
Enjoy the lovely Florida weather full time
Doggie Stalker - September 20, 2009
Exactly
TJ11 - September 20, 2009
Not pitch Gregg or Heilman, Use baker instead of Miles, Start Fox instead of Scales
Should I go on?
TJ11 - September 20, 2009
I hate being Aaroned.
sue369 - September 20, 2009
At least let it be DeRosa. That would be fitting, no?
dtpollitt - September 20, 2009
maybe TLR and lou have an agreement
last year TLR agreed to throw the division and this year lou agreed to throw the division
jesus christos - September 20, 2009
Who did Lou bring in to play SS for defense?
santoswoodenlegs - September 20, 2009
Theriot.
Vermont Cubs Fan - September 20, 2009
He almost fell on his fat ass!
TJ11 - September 20, 2009
LOL...he almost did.
sue369 - September 20, 2009
This ballgame belongs
in the managerial Hall of Shame.
tharr - September 20, 2009
Just thought of something
Couldn’t Lou have pinch-hit Theriot instead of Miles? Or is Theriot hurt?
elgato - September 20, 2009
he hit for Fontenot
ryan89 - September 20, 2009
He's at SS
tharr - September 20, 2009
theriot was already used
jesus christos - September 20, 2009
Theriot has alread PH, Baker has not however
TJ11 - September 20, 2009
ah -- thanks
And thanks to everybody else.
I must have been in the other room.
elgato - September 20, 2009
Theriot pinch hit last inning, too
vonde6 - September 20, 2009
CARIDAD ATTACK
jesus christos - September 20, 2009
3 run HR pending
Itchy - September 20, 2009
Nope a misplayed grounder is my bet.
Doggie Stalker - September 20, 2009
by theriot
TJ11 - September 20, 2009
A fitting conclusion
would be a balk to bring in the winning run
tharr - September 20, 2009
You were right!
TJ11 - September 20, 2009
really?
ballhawk - September 20, 2009
Missplayed grounder by theriot
TJ11 - September 20, 2009
oh come on
jesus christos - September 20, 2009
I think we should bring Milton in to pitch.
dtpollitt - September 20, 2009
just great
sue369 - September 20, 2009
are you kidding me?
elgato - September 20, 2009
One more hitter should do it
TJ11 - September 20, 2009
Yep
Three straight walkoffs and the Cubs are the nation’s longest running joke once again!
Itchy - September 20, 2009
sez you...
ballhawk - September 20, 2009
We wuz saved!
Itchy - September 20, 2009
Three in a row?

Joe Morgan thinks Soto "stood up".
dtpollitt - September 20, 2009
Holiday has to be tossed!!!
Threw his friggin helmet at the ump!!

He should be fined.

interference?
eswan9 - September 20, 2009
Lou is asking
what he can do
tharr - September 20, 2009
Per replay on ESPN, this game should be headed to extras.
Vermont Cubs Fan - September 20, 2009
free baseball
elgato - September 20, 2009
We've got a chance
Gregg, Miles and Heilman are already gone and Lou can’s reactivate Soriano
tharr - September 20, 2009
Or some right fielder, either.
Vermont Cubs Fan - September 20, 2009
GOOD THING LOU USED ALL OUR PITCHERS
dtpollitt - September 20, 2009
Shark.

Marmol

We still have Patton

We'll always have Patton...

Damn, there is a bunch of whiny asses on here...
Jimmyeatworld - September 20, 2009
are they booing?
Hard to hear on my TV …
elgato - September 20, 2009
They booed when the umps made it a double play call in the ninth inning.
Vermont Cubs Fan - September 20, 2009
What a bunch of morans.
lswaidz - September 20, 2009
yes I am.....
sue369 - September 20, 2009
Look, what do you want us to do?
santoswoodenlegs - September 20, 2009
attaboy Derrek!
sue369 - September 20, 2009
Hehe ... MLB Gameday is still stuck on the double play in the bottom of the ninth.
Vermont Cubs Fan - September 20, 2009
Um can somebody tell me what happened ?
I switched off when Fuld was pulled .
Doggie Stalker - September 20, 2009
not unless you promise to never bash Lou again
ballhawk - September 20, 2009
Fat chance.
Doggie Stalker - September 20, 2009
Holliday slid outside of the baseline
Double play counted eventhough Derrek missed tag on runner at first.
Cardinals fans did not understand rules of baseball, but that’s nothing new.
lswaidz - September 20, 2009
heh
ol Pete - September 20, 2009
holliday's skidmarks
proved it
brian custer - September 20, 2009
i think thats against the rules to check for those...
jesus christos - September 20, 2009
That would be nasty
TJ11 - September 20, 2009
unless you're Steve Lyons...
ballhawk - September 20, 2009
At least...
…credit to Miller/Morgan/Phillips for getting one rule interpretation right…
The old saying “even a blind squirrel…” comes to mind here :)
Tater01 - September 20, 2009
Unbelievable
Itchy - September 20, 2009
It's 2009, that was totally believeable.
santoswoodenlegs - September 20, 2009
that can only happen to the cubs
jesus christos - September 20, 2009
Nice baserunning Alou, I mean Lee
TJ11 - September 20, 2009
If we don't score here I'm
going to go to bed.
sue369 - September 20, 2009
Contradiction!
santoswoodenlegs - September 20, 2009
our No. 5 hitter
So Taguchi!
elgato - September 20, 2009
I JUST HAD A REALIZATION
Milton started his season with a suspension.
Milton ended his season with a suspension.
dtpollitt - September 20, 2009
Bookends to a magical season.
santoswoodenlegs - September 20, 2009
He did not start the season with a suspension
but it was kind of early in the season.
Doggie Stalker - September 20, 2009
Like that matters.
Meanwhile, Adam Dunn has 37 homers, 100 RBI, and an OPS+ of 149.
dtpollitt - September 20, 2009
but his UZR is -bazillion!!!!!!!!!! We would lose 100 games with him!!!!!!!!!
santoswoodenlegs - September 20, 2009
I had people the other day here telling me Bradley was still the better option
WOW

sue369 - September 20, 2009
how about a strike out
jesus christos - September 20, 2009
Do you want me to tuck you in Sue?
santoswoodenlegs - September 20, 2009
don't forget to read her a bedtime story
“The Grinch that Stole the 2009 Season”
ballhawk - September 20, 2009
Haha
That was funny. I wish this game was over.
lswaidz - September 20, 2009
g'night
sue369 - September 20, 2009
Night sue.
Vermont Cubs Fan - September 20, 2009
Well, at least Geo is consistent
elgato - September 20, 2009
Pick your poison
Stevens, Berg , Shark or keeping Caridad.
Doggie Stalker - September 20, 2009
Awww...they're all so cute!
santoswoodenlegs - September 20, 2009
hahahahahah
lexmarklover - September 20, 2009
I’ll take the third one from the left and 2 cigs.
dtpollitt - September 20, 2009
wow - that table really does have legs...
ballhawk - September 20, 2009
He likes "high" pitches
TJ11 - September 20, 2009
Great pitch selection by Geo
mgrace17 - September 20, 2009
I hope Caridad
stays in to pitch the 10th
tharr - September 20, 2009
13 walkoff losses this season
If even HALF of those games go the other way …
elgato - September 20, 2009
Don't worry guys. Next year Vlad the Impaler will be in right.
Ellisbury will be in center. Life will be pristine.
lexmarklover - September 20, 2009
You're drunk.
santoswoodenlegs - September 20, 2009
IT'S HAPPENING?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
Vermont Cubs Fan - September 20, 2009
2legit2quit!
lexmarklover - September 20, 2009
you're damn right.
Vlad sucks. Vernon Wells will be in right! IT’S HAPPENING!?!?!?!?
lexmarklover - September 20, 2009
I just turned on the game
Out of curiosity, how has Joe Morgan been tonight?
mgrace17 - September 20, 2009
no comment.
santoswoodenlegs - September 20, 2009
trick question?
elgato - September 20, 2009
could be worse
i guess
jesus christos - September 20, 2009
he could be shrieking obscenities into the microphone
elgato - September 20, 2009
See santoswoodenlegs graphic of "the book" from the 1st thread
That tells you all you need to know
shifafaontheside - September 20, 2009
Is Yunieski Betancourt available for 2010
shifafaontheside - September 20, 2009
That was close!
Vermont Cubs Fan - September 20, 2009
Damn -- Caridad has some HEAT
Like him — hope he’s back next year.
elgato - September 20, 2009
He's been a pleasant surprise
I hope he does have a chance to make the club in 2010, and I suspect he’ll have that chance.
Not Bruce Froemming - September 20, 2009
caridad is the man
jesus christos - September 20, 2009
Theriot to lead off the next inning....
over/under on # of pitches he sees.
santoswoodenlegs - September 20, 2009
-1
jesus christos - September 20, 2009
WOW
Great minds think alike but just for that I am gonna raise you -2
Doggie Stalker - September 20, 2009
-1 ?
Doggie Stalker - September 20, 2009
3
under
Itchy - September 20, 2009
false
jesus christos - September 20, 2009
What do you do if the result is where the line is set?
Vermont Cubs Fan - September 20, 2009
Push
I said under 3, for the record
Itchy - September 20, 2009
nice cut theriot
BradB311 - September 20, 2009
Excellent AB Theriot.
santoswoodenlegs - September 20, 2009
I wish my little boy was awake to see it
TJ11 - September 20, 2009
I'm DVR'ing this game so my son can watch it over and over again.
santoswoodenlegs - September 20, 2009
good thing his defense makes up for it
Oh, wait.
elgato - September 20, 2009
blanco is showing up theriot
jesus christos - September 20, 2009
Meanwhile, the other guy who can actually play SS....
gets another hit.
santoswoodenlegs - September 20, 2009
Oh no, we HAD to bring back Miles to destroy the team in August!!
Itchy - September 20, 2009
Riot called out by Phillips
for not being focused. So true.
Itchy - September 20, 2009
Phillips and Morgan
(correctly) have been calling out the Cubs’ poor fundamentals.
elgato - September 20, 2009
Just woke up - extra innings? A good game?
eths - September 20, 2009
no.
santoswoodenlegs - September 20, 2009
no
we got gregg’d
jesus christos - September 20, 2009
How so?
eths - September 20, 2009
leadoff walk, wild pitch, basehit
jesus christos - September 20, 2009
Lou? Is that you?
ballhawk - September 20, 2009
lol
ryan89 - September 20, 2009
The last time I looked, no....
eths - September 20, 2009
A weird game
TJ11 - September 20, 2009
Jake Fox in to pinch-hit.
Vermont Cubs Fan - September 20, 2009
He's been in for a while, actually.
Vermont Cubs Fan - September 20, 2009
FOX!!!!!!!!!
Vermont Cubs Fan - September 20, 2009
Fox!
elgato - September 20, 2009
JAKE FREAKING FOX
HELL YEAH
jesus christos - September 20, 2009
JAKE!
YES!!!!
Tater01 - September 20, 2009
yEAHHH
eswan9 - September 20, 2009
i predict
Lee with a monster yr next year : 30 HRs, 160/170 RBIs? I’m leaning towards 170.
A Ram: 40 HRs, 140 RBIs
Soriano: 30 HRs, 100 RBIs
2LEGIT2QUIT!
lexmarklover - September 20, 2009
nicey
bheidge - September 20, 2009
FOX IS DA MAN!!!
shifafaontheside - September 20, 2009
Fox should give Lou the finger as he rounds the bases
TJ11 - September 20, 2009
Yep!
Itchy - September 20, 2009
LOL
I would love to see that
shifafaontheside - September 20, 2009
jesus christos - September 20, 2009
Time to sit
Fox again according to Lou. He’s not due.
tharr - September 20, 2009
Can this mean he starts in left the rest of the year?
Please? Please?
elgato - September 20, 2009
He'll have to win a footrace against Scales around the bases first.
santoswoodenlegs - September 20, 2009
santoswoodenlegs - September 20, 2009
Oh my.
Vermont Cubs Fan - September 20, 2009
Fox?
eswan9 - September 20, 2009
and it will still be
Scales starting in LF the rest of the way.
bheidge - September 20, 2009
I am sure he will be still watching Scales strikeout tomorrow
TJ11 - September 20, 2009
Scales did have two hits yesterday
But saying he’s a better option defensively than Fox is just ridiculous.
elgato - September 20, 2009
sorry -- let me amend that
To say that Scales is better ENOUGH to forget Fox’s bat is just ridiculous.
elgato - September 20, 2009
I was wondering about that.
Doggie Stalker - September 20, 2009
it's late, I'm tired
And I still want to watch Mad Men tonight. Wrap this up, Cubbies.
elgato - September 20, 2009
very true
They have totally fucked up with Fox. No bradley or Soriano, so why wouldn’t he be playing tomorrow?
Or the rest of that season? I keep hearing bitching about how they have no OF’s yet Fox sits.
Such bullshit.
Lou sucks!
TJ11 - September 20, 2009
do you send emails to your mother with that keyboard?
ballhawk - September 20, 2009
What about the post was I wrong about?
TJ11 - September 20, 2009
I think you were being called out for profanity?
elgato - September 20, 2009
I know, but the police can never get me on the message.
TJ11 - September 20, 2009
I'm not the police - just an amused bystander...
ballhawk - September 20, 2009
I hope you were amused
But still I am correct
TJ11 - September 20, 2009
The cubs drive me to cuss
TJ11 - September 20, 2009
LOL
vonde6 - September 20, 2009
WHY ARE WE PLAYING THIS WORTHLESS GUY
He has NO future with the Cubs and if we let him get any ABs his trade value will go down.
Doggie Stalker - September 20, 2009
It's a theory, Jess, it's a theory
Jeez, can’t you people ever be happy about ANYTHING?
Not Bruce Froemming - September 20, 2009
We are happy the guy lou stopped playing for no reason just came through
TJ11 - September 20, 2009
Sigh
I think it’s time for the Serenity Prayer.
Not Bruce Froemming - September 20, 2009
You may not believe this
but I would be thrilled to have been wrong about Lou since that game last April. I wish he were a great manager who
inspired his players and made terrific in game moves. I really would rather win than be right.
Doggie Stalker - September 20, 2009
I believe it, Jess
I see no better alternative at this point in time. That’s OK, I have a lot of White Sox fan friends who can’t stand Ozzie, either, and that baffles me, too.
Not Bruce Froemming - September 20, 2009
That's because...
…it is easy to assign blame to one guy – the manager.
MPH73 - September 20, 2009
lol giants win and cowboys still suckkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
lexmarklover - September 20, 2009
Man, I did not have a good week with my picks this week.
Vermont Cubs Fan - September 20, 2009
I dont think you are alone with that one
lots of upsets
bheidge - September 20, 2009
I know.
I picked KC, Jacksonville, GB, Pittsburgh, and Dallas. Those I know I missed.
Vermont Cubs Fan - September 20, 2009
You pick the Jets?
Watching the Pats/Bills game last week I was thinking this could easily be a game the Jets walk out of with a W
bheidge - September 20, 2009
Nope, picked New England.
Another messup.
Vermont Cubs Fan - September 20, 2009
Oh, and I also picked New England.
Vermont Cubs Fan - September 20, 2009
I loath the Jets
but I hate the Pats. See this is my typical style. I pick from the “heart” as it where but so far so good.
Doggie Stalker - September 20, 2009
I've got a similiar style
unless money is on it
bheidge - September 20, 2009
I hate the Pats too.
Comes from living in an area with lots of Pats fans.
Vermont Cubs Fan - September 20, 2009
Cowboys go down at the bell
Itchy - September 20, 2009
Works for me. Not a Giants fan
but I hate the Cowboys. FYI I move to #1 in the BCB fantasy league but I think we are down to 6 folks still active.
Doggie Stalker - September 20, 2009
Me too. I had Wash in my suicide pool, that was scary.
Itchy - September 20, 2009
haha
An almost GIDP and he assumed it was Miles.
ryan89 - September 20, 2009
Good thing we haven't been starting that Fox guy.
Wouldn’t want to get our starting pitchers any more runs.
Spotacus - September 20, 2009
Marmol is warming up
I think I will go check out eBay.
Doggie Stalker - September 20, 2009

Thats the first I have ever heard
of that happening.
bheidge - September 20, 2009
You are a little late to the party.
Doggie Stalker - September 20, 2009
It's 5:55AM here.
eths - September 20, 2009
Certainly...
…a good reason to be excused from hearing until now. Hopefully, he’s gone for good.
Tater01 - September 20, 2009
your excused
hes suspended for the rest of the season
bheidge - September 20, 2009
Ja.
Bradley ist verschoben.

"Eli is the kid brother."
“They played tonight … lost—they won, I guess they won.”
Morgan, it’s either one or the other. I’m sure you have the score in front of you at some point.
Vermont Cubs Fan - September 20, 2009
Insurance Runs, please
vonde6 - September 20, 2009
There you go!
Vermont Cubs Fan - September 20, 2009
Just one more hit and we can breathe a bit easier

MPH73 - September 20, 2009
Yes!
Itchy - September 20, 2009
Wild pitch or passed ball?
Vermont Cubs Fan - September 20, 2009
Wild Pitch scores a run.
santoswoodenlegs - September 20, 2009
Dare I say...
…stop right here so it’s a save situation and we get “Good Marmol”?
Tater01 - September 20, 2009
Guess...
…Taguchi saw to that!
Tater01 - September 20, 2009
This IS a nice way to slowly wake up - a Cubs rrally in the 11th

ballhawk - September 20, 2009
you're all clear, kid
Now let’s blow this thing and go home!
elgato - September 20, 2009
Someone take a picture
of Fox in LF. He looks lost.
tharr - September 20, 2009
in case we need it for a milk carton?
vonde6 - September 20, 2009
2ks out of Marmol nets my brother $250 and the championship
in his FB league. He gives me way to much shit about the Cubs so here’s hoping for 3 ground outs.
bheidge - September 20, 2009
Is he a Cubs fan?
Just out of curiosity.
Vermont Cubs Fan - September 20, 2009
nope Reds
bheidge - September 20, 2009
You're halfway there.
One out, not via strikeout.
Vermont Cubs Fan - September 20, 2009
ball one.
santoswoodenlegs - September 20, 2009
Flies out to Fox in deep left.
One down.
Vermont Cubs Fan - September 20, 2009
thanks for the play by play. I can't watch.
Doggie Stalker - September 20, 2009
I'll keep doing it for you.
Vermont Cubs Fan - September 20, 2009
Lou,
Did you see that? Fox can catch!
ryan89 - September 20, 2009
Its late he is back to sleep
TJ11 - September 20, 2009
Scales would have
made a better catch on that.
tharr - September 20, 2009
ball one again.
santoswoodenlegs - September 20, 2009
ball two.
santoswoodenlegs - September 20, 2009
a strike!
santoswoodenlegs - September 20, 2009
Schumaker strikes out.
Two away!
Vermont Cubs Fan - September 20, 2009

santoswoodenlegs - September 20, 2009

When did Morgan
become a pitching coach?
tharr - September 20, 2009
Jake Fox
Chevrolet player of the game. See that Lou?
shifafaontheside - September 20, 2009

Tater01 - September 20, 2009

Cubs win!
Vermont Cubs Fan - September 20, 2009
Woo Hoo!
Itchy - September 20, 2009
Lou is pissed Jake Fox was just named player of the game
He went over and told Scales not to worry he will start tomorrow
TJ11 - September 20, 2009
Cubs Win!!!!!
vonde6 - September 20, 2009
you had your fun fox
now go ride pine
jesus christos - September 20, 2009

Vermont Cubs Fan - September 20, 2009
A small but nice victory
Perhaps we can see more Fox and less Gregg & Heilman in the last two weeks.
Doggie Stalker - September 20, 2009
+1
eswan9 - September 20, 2009
Please!
and no more Miles!
Itchy - September 20, 2009
Yes him too (less of I mean)
Oh and MORE BLANCO please.
Doggie Stalker - September 20, 2009
Hey VCF
If you go to the Cubs game in SF this Thursday, drop me a line. I will be there, and would like to meet another BCB regular.
vonde6 - September 20, 2009
I'll try to be there, outside the park.
But it looks like I’m going to the Saturday game.
If it looks like I’ll be outside the park on Thursday, I’ll let you know.
Vermont Cubs Fan - September 20, 2009
sounds good
My e-mail address is in my profile.
vonde6 - September 20, 2009
Okay, I'll let you know.
FWIW, I like meeting people here. My profile picture here was from a game I went to with a BCB regular at Dodger Stadium a month ago.
Vermont Cubs Fan - September 20, 2009
er
Which one are you, Ted Lilly, or the other guy?
vonde6 - September 20, 2009
I'm on the right.
Ted Lilly is on the left … I also got his autograph at that game.
Vermont Cubs Fan - September 20, 2009
Enjoy the game, guys
I saw the Cubs at the ’Stick many years ago but would love to see them at AT&T.
Not Bruce Froemming - September 20, 2009
The same to you, enjoy the game in Milwaukee.
Vermont Cubs Fan - September 20, 2009
Gracias
Hopefully the Cubs will be on a six-game winning streak by the time you see them.
Not Bruce Froemming - September 20, 2009
Thanks
I would like to meet you too, someday, NBF.
I have enjoyed BCB ever since I found it last year. The last friend I had around hwer who is a Cubs fan moved to Santa Barbera five years ago. I have gone to a playoff game with him in Phoenix and one in LA the last two years. Most of my other cheering is on here.
vonde6 - September 20, 2009
What's this - cheerful, positive, pleasant exchange about having fun watching and cheering for the Cubs?
Are you guys in the right place?
ballhawk - September 20, 2009
sigh
Yes, I thought that it would ease up a little once we were out of it. Sadly, no.
vonde6 - September 20, 2009
That would be cool, v6
Last time I was at a series in California was in 2003. We went to LA and San Diego. First game in SD was Prior’s comeback from the DL. He was unreal.
We’re strongly considering heading to Seattle for the Cubs-Mariners series next June.
It must really suck to get to see the Cubs in person so rarely.
Not Bruce Froemming - September 21, 2009
It is sad not to see them in person
If they played in Europe once in a blue moon, then it wouldn’t be quite as bad…
eths - September 21, 2009
I'd also like to meet you at some point.
Don’t know what works, though.
Vermont Cubs Fan - September 21, 2009
Just read up on MB...
That guy really needs to finally grow up! Jimbo needs to chuck him permanently.
eths - September 20, 2009
I think today may have been a step in that direction.
Vermont Cubs Fan - September 20, 2009
The sad thing is: MB has a lot of talent.
He seems to have shot himself the foot again and again and again….
eths - September 20, 2009
so....why hasn't Fox been starting in LF instead of Scales?
Anyone else get that?
Chanman25 - September 21, 2009
Hmm interesting point
So have you been off the BCB for a while ?
Doggie Stalker - September 21, 2009
heh yeah, off and on, just been very busy with senior year, college apps, and working at my non profit organization
Chanman25 - September 21, 2009
A really great Series
Games decided in 9th, 9th & 11th. Exciting baseball. Props to Fox. And just another shining example of when Marmol is right, he’s got maybe the most electric stuff in MLB & is just about unhittable.
