Another epic win: Where were you?

And of course, AFN didn’t pick up today’s game, and I’m still in base lodging where the internet is too damned slow to support MLB.TV. However, I kept track through Yahoo and BCB a bit, too. Throughout the late innings, no worrying. Entering the 9th inning, you just knew….

HEY HEY!

I got the afternoon off today and I couldn’t be happier with the way things turned out today. What a game to see! I love how this team can win every which way, including a walk off HBP!

The Cubs are on their way!!

long, tough day at work, getting ready for vacation time and watching the wide screen LCD with a Guinness in my sports (Cubs, Blackhawks and Wolves of course) basement.

and watching mlb.tv and trying to keep up with the gamethreads. It feels both strange and refreshing to just flat out expect this team to come back and win. After this and the Rockies game…I don’t expect to ever be surprised again this year.

Missed the whole fuckin game.

for this team with the best Cub fans in the world. This season is just unreal so far. Hope they keep this going.

and watch a few innings of baseball. Took my trusty boombox to clean w/ me. I am working and listening. My customer wanted a meeting w/ me when he got home. It was the bottom of the 11th. I was in the other room w/ him and I hear CUBS WIN CUBS WIN.
I had no idea how they won until I got home.

A completely obnoxious customer called when they loaded the bases in the 11th
I had her put through to voice mail.

...baby steps…
While listening to the radio feed on Gameday Audio.

but not really working. Spent my time toggling between gameday and the comments on BCB. Hard not to yell Cubs Win, Cubs Win. People here know I’m a Cubs fan but can’t let them know I’m spending my time on BCB and gameday. An incredible win.

....in between clapping my hands, muttering along with Ronnie (heard over the Net), and trying to get my co-workers to chant “Fu-Ku-Do-Me!”

trying to not disturb the people around me by yelling.

and the first day game in a century… on a cloud sharing the game with BB’ers and just knowing we were going to pull this out. What a team!

studying for the bar exam this summer, which is awful. In a car accident on the way to one of my review classes. Found out my fiance overdrafted our meager bank account. Watched most of the game on MLB.tv during class, then on the way home listened to the end of the game on XM, and it quickly turned into the best day I’ve had all week. Don’t know what will happen with this team, but damn this is fun!

...listening to Gameday Audio and trying to wrap up a ridiculous amount of stuff because I have tomorrow off. I tried to participate on the game thread for a while, but my computer got so slow that I was getting ready to minimally fracture my fourth metacarpal hitting my hard drive.

I heard every pitch, though. Leapt up from my chair and pumped my fist when Jedmonds hit the game-tying home run, then just chuckled sagely when RJ got hit by the pitch that ended the game. Y’see, I knew that was going to happen. Well, I knew something like that was going to happen. Why? Because these are the 2008 Cubs, and they are UNSTOPPABLE.

so I had all the time in the world to watch the Cubbies remain invincible at home!

I have been totally out of touch for the past five days. Did I miss anything spectacular (good or bad)?

Has Theriot made any caught-stealing catches?
Has Fonzi stayed relatively hot?
Has Demp still been unstoppable?

In looking at the Fanposts, I am guessing that Edmunds (sp?) played a major part today.

Anywho, off to get caught up. Sounds like I missed a fun one today. :)

This team is so exciting that I stayed for an hour after I was planning to leave, because I didn’t want to miss anything on the way to my car—and that’s when they were losing!

I missed an inning or two due to the second tornado evacuation in my 9 years at the company—also the second in the last week.

After Edmonds HR, a good-natured Brewers fan stopped by my desk to half shake his head and half offer encouragement. Unlike the 10-9 game two weeks ago, I didn’t pound my desk and scare anyone, but it was still a good time.

Usually listen on mlb.tv at work since the games are video blacked out in Japan. I still don’t understand why they do that for games that aren’t broadcast on regular tv here. But, with Fukudome on the team, we’ve gotten to watch quite a few games live in the mornings.

Another great come from behind win… enjoying every minute of this!

The bases were loaded with no outs and I had to leave. The Braves had just pulled their pitcher. I went out to my car, turned it on, put on WGN and heard Go Cubs Go. I later found out it was on a Johnson HBP.

3rd row section 34 between the dugout and bullpen. It was a ridiculous game – The place groaned through 3 or 4 LONG outs before being rewarded by Jimmy Ballgame’s squeaker of a homerun.

The crowd was on their feet for the entire last inning and when Reed “HBP” Johnson got HBP the crowd didn’t even realize what happened and finally figured it out after a couple seconds. Strangest, weirdest, most anticlimatic end to a Win that I’ve ever seen. It was like the crowd didn’t know what to do with themselves, and then apparently the broadcast system broke. There were a few pockets of people singing Go Cubs Go though.

Great game, hot as hell, but 10 bottles of water later, we got a Win. Never count this team out!

Best record in baseball! Onward and upward.

after said meeting, I walked back into my office, flipped on the game tracker, saw they had won, and told the gentleman who had just arrived for my next meeting “hey, look at that, my favorite team won. How about that.”

Read the game recap—that’s what I did yesterday.

hanging on every moment. Like most of the others that were at, uh… work, i didn’t get a lot done. I listened to the Pat and Ron call the game and typed tirelessly in the thread.

nA- aren’t you glad I talked you in to staying around!!!

...my flight was delayed in the 9th, so I was on BCB following the action!

We boarded the plane in the top of the 11th so I had to shut my PC down. Got to my seat and my phone starting vibrating with W! text messages from my wife and friends!

Was able to relax all the way back to Chicago :)

for most of the game then made my way to Wal-mart to get a new Ipod. My dad called me and told me Edmonds just tied it with a HR in the Bot 9th. I got home just in time to see Bot 11th start. I heard Woody was a monster and I’m kinda pissed I missed that.

Great Game!!!
