Lee does appear to be back to himself….and it IS great to see.

I honestly think Koyie Hill would be better
2008 Cubs: Why Beat A Team in Regulation, when you can beat them in extras?
you know
Jose Macias was the emergency catcher. I mean, he would be a better option..
2008 Cubs: Why Beat A Team in Regulation, when you can beat them in extras?
We totally need to reacquire Macias.
And Manny Alexander too. That man played HARD, darn it.
Alan Trammell: Assistant (to the) Manager
did I forget about Morandini?
He would work..
2008 Cubs: Why Beat A Team in Regulation, when you can beat them in extras?
And Terry Mulholland, I don't care how old he is.
To play catcher I mean. He’s a GAMER.
Then once we get him, let’s trade Lee and Ramirez for Darin Erstad.
Alan Trammell: Assistant (to the) Manager
I think they should convince Jeromy Burnitz to come out of retirement
and play SS
2008 Cubs: Why Beat A Team in Regulation, when you can beat them in extras?
We'd have a sweet double play combo
with Burnitz at SS and Henry Rodriguez at 2B. O HENRY INDEED!
Alan Trammell: Assistant (to the) Manager
and all we need to do is resign Bobby Hill for 3b and Jody Gerut for 1st
and damn that would be a great infield
2008 Cubs: Why Beat A Team in Regulation, when you can beat them in extras?
With backup Kevin Orie waiting in the wings
and Juan Pierre as our ace SP

LOL
So this is our current team
P – Juan Pierre
C – Terry Mulholland, Jose Macias
1b – Gody Gerut
2b – Henry Rodriguez
ss – Jeromy Burnitz
3b – Bobby Hill
LF – Darin Erstad
CF – Neifi Perez
RF – Kevin Orie
That’s dominating!

Keep in mind that that whole inning was because Dome hustled

More like because Dome is Dome.
He always plays the game that way, he didn’t do anything extraordinary. His regular style of play extended the inning. Just Dome being Dome. (Manny Ramirez, eat your heart out. You heard it here first!)
Alan Trammell: Assistant (to the) Manager
I like that
Dome is Dome. Should definitely be a post title. Or a slogan for a Nike commercial. I think from now anything good is going to be Dome.
“Those new shoes?”
“Yeah, just got them yesterday.”
“Man those are so Dome!”
they've ALL been hustling
really. They’re patient at the plate, they’re running out of the box… I REALLY like what this team is doing philosophically.

....and an appreciation for the fact that pitcher wins are as much a function of team offense as anything else?
oh, come on...
first of all, don’t ruin my elation with logic… :P and second… I think a lot of people thought that Demp was really reaching to be a SP, and was going to get SHELLED in every start. He’s pitched very well. Better than Lilly or Hill, that’s for sure, and certainly better than Marquis.

to a Brewers game on XM is that when the other team does something good, you hear dead space for 5 seconds or so because Uecker can’t stand to say what it is. the guy is funny.

It must be a trailerpark way of communicating…

It would be cool to see a lot of Cubs grow some billy-goat chins to drive off the curse this year…
he's up over 105 pitches

Same issues as last season
Looked kind of lost in ST, started slow, so-so command, heater off by several MPH, no putaway capability. Then mid-May came. By June he was baaaaaaack.
I’m confident he’ll bounce back. I don’t forsee any injury-related issues here.
Anyone else on Howry? He’s not fighting through an injury, is he?

I’m blessed with listening to White Bread and Billy Show (Brian Anderson and Bill Schoreder). I might be one of the few that have liked the Brewers TV guys in the past (yes I liked Daron Sutton, especially when he started the Sausage Race 5K). However, they are just making some stupid comments tonight. I’m not saying they aren’t plausible because they are, but still. It’s baseball. Things even out. Take a gander:
-Conspiracy theory because the Cubs don’t have to play the Red Sox and the Yankees.
-Cubs are greedy because they want more night games
-No three city road trips for the Cubs
Like I said, plausible, but still excuses. It’s baseball. Things work out.

Damn man
Turnbow really looks distraught. Poor dude.

He may be on the other team, but I feel awful for the guy.
I really do.

I hope he gets traded so I can root for him.

this isn't a football score
it’s a sixth-grade girls BASKETBALL score!
Who said they wanted Turnbow? No, THANK you… I wouldn’t like to be him today… wow.

When the Cubs score, they score in bunches apparently.
Number of Innings Scoring 5 Runs:
Cubs lead the league with 9, 2nd place only has 5.

one shy to 20
saved that one for next game….

This win calls for a very very special "Win Image"
I’ll have to find a real good one to post.

No 20
but Cedeno’s nickname has caught on so fast, they’ve made a company in recognition of his achievements:

SAVE RUNS FOR TOMORROW!
Tomorrow are the days when we have to play small ball to squeeze a couple runs across.

Missed the 1st inning
When I got home tonight I was kind of pissed I missed a six run first. Now I’m thinking it might be Dempster’s turn again.
I was glad to see Daryle Ward get a hit.
You have to love Lou’s patience with certain guys. We know we’re going to need him before the season is over.
Now, Lou, what about Pie?

Rediculi
I’d ask the cubs to save some runs for later, but these guys can put runs up at will when they have the discipline at the plate that they do….
19-5 over the Brewers is better than sex…
And you base that on what?

I've got you beat.
But as long as you’re a Cubs fan, I’ll grant you that opinion. I just hope you’re wrong. Let’s hope they didn’t leave it all behind tonight.

You know what?
I also hope I’m wrong. And I also hope all the anxiety and dread for the past 44 years will come to an end this year as well.
Well, today was fun
but it’s honestly one single game. Hopefully the Cubs can keep this going tomorrow.

Which is, of course, meaningless.
