it has something to do with the fact that we either stink at small ball in these parks
or Lou refuses to play small ball—or some combination of the two. But mediocre defense defense help in these kinds of parks either (replay first run from tonight).
I've seen the Axe "promotional team" around Wrigley a few times...
a bunch of umm… “healthy” girls walk around all dressed the same (short shorts, tight t-shirts, etc.) handing out free samples of that crap as if to say “see? just put this on and you can have a shot at a girl like me”.
Yeah, right…
What they should do is have one person hand out free samples, even offer to dab you behind the ears. Then the rest of the umm… “healthy” girls should walk by a few minutes later, in cognito, i.e. ordinary clothes, and go absolutely bonkers over you. At that point you might think to yourself – “hmm… maybe this stuff does work…”
and I listened to the post game with sympathy but well they can wait until next year too. I remember a funny column from the 89 series about how try as they might no one could find any real enmity between either the teams or the fans of the teams. I was pissed about losing but I hold no ill will towards the Giants or their fans.
Win streak at one with ten games to be won - It's not over yet !?!
{Dream mode="on"}
Colorado might be starting a nice little slide (L2) and the Cubs can take care of the Giants, but Atlanta and Florida aren’t cooperating yet . And even St. Louis could still choke.
It’s like being 3 down in a 7 game series, the Cubs have no room for mistakes, and need a bit of luck – The fat lady may have cleared her throat, but she ain’t singin’… {Dream mode="off"}
Aegroto, dum anima est, spes esse dicitur – Eamus Catuli
That's how I feel too Lou.

Last year was an exception in a lot of ways
We even played well in Miami
Clutch16 - September 24, 2009
and this year's excuse?
I mean aside from the general poor play, lack of clutch hitting, poor decisions by Lou, being Gregged, and Aaron Miles’ presence on the roster.

it has something to do with the fact that we either stink at small ball in these parks

Velez went down hard on that hospital ball from Whiteside
Clutch16 - September 24, 2009
gameday says injury delay
who is injured and how?
VegasCubFan - September 24, 2009
Velez got slid into by DLee
Took him a couple minutes but he’s fine
mgrace17 - September 24, 2009
Lee took out Velez's feet sliding into 2nd
Whiteside’s throw was way high – it wasn’t intentional
Clutch16 - September 24, 2009
HOLY SHIT HR!!!!

2 Run HR!

Jeff Baker rules!

I was literally counting how many days til opening day 2010 when he hit that

I only got radio tonight. Did BB say something on tv about BCB?

Nope
But he did mention the “Cool Hand Luke” quote we were throwing around earlier in the thread – I just said ‘hi’ on the off chance…

Lee out of the game?
He’d better not have tweaked his neck AGAIN sliding into a base.
Urbanfury - September 24, 2009
That wouldn't have been a neck tweak
He slid into Velez feet-first
Clutch16 - September 24, 2009
I doubt if it was the slide.
it was probably the Jesse White tumbling routine that probably tweaked him

Winn is awful fast
Probably didn’t think he had time
Clutch16 - September 24, 2009
He'll need to practice that in the offseason in that case.
lswaidz - September 24, 2009
Guess we can't make this easy
at least Gregg isn’t in to give up a 2-run HR
mgrace17 - September 24, 2009
I hear he can do that with the bases empty now.
