Cubs leading 2-0
But if you’re watching ESPN it’s hard to tell there’s a game going on.
There is no place like Nebraska - Go Huskers!
No kidding.
STILL talking about Joba and Hank.
Srsly…Not like John Maine’s starting to struggle or anything. No storylines to talk about with D-Lee up with 2 out.

is there a game going on?
sorry to interrupt orel and steve’s babbling about joba chamberlain with this pesky baseball game
Here comes D Lee.
2 outs, man on first.

for those of you who, like me, watch the wgn and national games on tv and the rest on mlb.tv – the mlb.tv feed is not blacked out – and it’s len and bob instead of this moronic crap they are showing on espn.

Smooth swing, not sure if it a sign of a better swing though. Low fastballs fit Felix’s swing. He did keep his head on it all the way though.

You might have to change that MVP to

Whoa, Action Jackson,
Ben Sheets is pretty damn good. Sucks for the Brewers that he went down today, in my opinion at least
"I think Hendry still has a few years to serve on his 'grand larceny' sentence before he can shop in Pittsburgh again" - ballhawk
Yeah.
After what we went through with Woody and Prior, I can’t be happy about stuff like this. I want to beat the Brewers at their best, not with their ace on the DL.

Let me get this strait
If the DBacks lose we have the best team in baseball to date… ...right?
If the Cubs were an international soccer team they'd be called Scotland.
How professional is Kerry?
Nice to have a closer that is focused, whether a save situation or not.
Trusts his stuff, throws strikes. Lovin’ it.

2008 Cubs: Why Beat A Team in Regulation, when you can beat them in extras?
I can't believe I called the Pie HR...
I was in the wrong part of the house to come online, but once I heard that Sosa was coming in and not a lefty, I said out loud to an empty house: “Pie’s going to hit one out so I won’t get a save from Wood for my fantasy team tonight.”
It looked to me like they’re trying to get Pie’s swing to look at lot more like Fukodome’s, especially with that front foot. If Pie and Cedeno can both evolve into solid .265/.325/.375 hitters this year, that would be an outstanding development.
It's a simple question, Doctor: would you eat the moon if it were made of ribs??
lets go for the sweep tomorrow
and send these Mets back home packing

We thought our umps were bad tonight.
How about that call at first in the Nats-Braves game???
"This is the kind of thing … that makes you want to see the Chicago Cubs team lose." Marty Brennaman
that was
one of the worst i’ve EVER seen. horrid.
Speaking of refs
the gooners may lose Hleb for the remainder because he slapped someone during their match this past weekend. Typical gooner behavior.
(This is for you, billywan, I just saw you post!)
"I've always felt that starting pitching is the most important part of the rotation." - Joe Morgan, Sunday Night Baseball 8-12-07
damn it!
i didn’t know that. was out of town this weekend. and, well, frankly….the gooners season is done. i’m just more ashamed that hleb would strike someone with an open fist. at least punch him, hleb!
Well played!
You really are a gooner! Yeah Spurs are pretty much in the same boat. Carling Cup wrapped up Europena play and they’ve kinda mailed it in since.
Think Barca’s got a shot against ManU?
"I've always felt that starting pitching is the most important part of the rotation." - Joe Morgan, Sunday Night Baseball 8-12-07
i hope so
haven’t seen much of barca this year. saw them score at will on celtic…but then again, they let celtic score quite a few, too. i don’t know. barca’s always got a shot, but man u seems pretty unstoppable right now.
I'll be rooting for the 'pool tomorrow.
For some reason I can’t stand Barca, and I can’t bring myself to root for Man U. Chelsea is out of the question, barely worth mentioning.

PS, I bet Chelsea would love a "tin cup" now...

ordinarily
i’d be rooting for the pool as well. but they shouldn’t be here. i can’t get over how outplayed they were, yet somehow they won.
Slapping: such a scum attack.
I can’t think of a better adjective than this so, “What a sissy team”

nice win
overcame 3 bad ump calls against the cubs
fantastic at bats from the kids...
felix pennsylvania with 2 nice takes, and then a pretty swing. and cedeno with some nice pitches fought off, then just a text book 2-strike swing on the single up the middle. barely even lifted his leg. sweet. especially on the heels of two really bad at bats by soto and derosa….
helluva game.
This was on of my favorite wins in a long time
"When you have a fat friend there are no see-saws, only catapults." --Demetri Martin

Duke, Snell, Sanchez, Nady… I wouldn’t mind any of them in a Cubs uniform, especially Snell and Sanchez. Sucks for Pittsburgh that they aren’t getting things clicking for the first month.

bottom 8
error reyes, aram beaned, fuku’s epic at bat single, Dero and Soto hacking with the near balk, Cedeno down 1-2 fouls off 3 pitches and lines a clutch single to center, they bring in Sosa, Pie takes two, and then rips a low fast ball for a 3 run dong.

Wow!!
A lot of tears flowing at ESPN…..half of BaseballTonight will be about Yankee pitching…..Love to see the “BEST 3B and SS” in the league cost the Mets a game…..Poor NY….
I never thought I would watch a game with the sound off and 12 string in hand….I hope the Cubs never are ESPN’s game again…HORRIBLE!!!
Love to see Felix’ new swing!! Short and sweet…..
Then you won't like the fact that...
in the first Cubs/Cards series of the year, the Sunday game is the Sunday night game which means we get blessed with more ‘expert’ analysis from ESPN lifers Joe Morgan and Jon Miller. BTW the mute button is usually located underneath the #’s on most remotes. lol
