Very dejected sounding.
Hawks pretty quiet. Pinning it on the fac that it’s warm outside and it’s Wrigley. Like “Justget it up in the air and it’s probably outta here” crap.

The situation
LHP came in, so a RH came in for Fontenot
"I think Hendry still has a few years to serve on his 'grand larceny' sentence before he can shop in Pittsburgh again" - ballhawk
i logged in to say this exact comment
he over thinks things let Dero get the day off he is struggling we have a huge lead
I'm not sure about that
If it weren’t for his love with pitching situations, Fontenot most likely wouldn’t have started today, as well as Patterson.
"I think Hendry still has a few years to serve on his 'grand larceny' sentence before he can shop in Pittsburgh again" - ballhawk
the point is
he did and we have a lead let him sit
Man...
This has been one of those innings that you only get in a arcade style baseball game
Wait.
I lost a bit in my phone call at the start of the inning.
Edmonds hit TWO home runs in the same inning?! OMG. HEE HEE HEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He shuts it down, and this is a lock.
That was one of the best innings ever.
These are the saddest of possible words: "Tinker to Evers to Chance"
Really?
Not saying I want him to go out there and give up four or five runs, but even if he does we still have the lead. “Need” is a bit strong there.
I only said NEEDS
because this is a day where you don’t want to have to destroy your bullpen in a 15-12 game. Let the Sux go through their pen and hopefully we can get Marquis through 7 and have either Wuertz or Lieber mop up. That could set the bullpen up well for the next few days.

Hey Al..
...and you wanted Hendry to end the “Edmonds Experiment”!!

At the time
it looked like a good call. He has said he was wrong but I guess that’s not good enough for you.
Al is too impatient...

Because he's protected in the lineup.

He helped himself last inning and kept it going. Not his best outing, but come on. You seriously cannot complain up 5 on the Sux.

I've never been
a fan of Marquis. And while it’s not fair, I will never give him the benefit of the doubt.

Kayla Davis: Due date (8-11-08)!
LOL,
can I have my own opinion? You can’t make me like a player—I will root for him as long as he’s a Cub, but I just shiver whenever he pitches.
My new life, my new world, and my beautiful daughter:

Well, Next Year is here .. and Jack's century's gotta end some time .. GO CUBBIES!
I think the implication was some could argue it was racist
B/c the … ahem … interesting-looking CHW fan is black and the attractive CHC fan is white. Not necessarily saying it is racist, just that it could be construed that way
Sorry, not meaning to be accusing, just thinking of the types of things people in my line of work would see.
The white chick is great, the black chick is not. That’s pretty much where the racism thing would come in. I meant it more as a “great pic, should fix it so that it can’t be critiqued” than a comment as to what I see, if that makes sense?
These are the saddest of possible words: "Tinker to Evers to Chance"

I wonder when it will happen
Surely Ozzie is going to force some no-name pitcher to bean Aramis in the ribs.
I hope Ozzie gets fired
And then nobody hires him. Honestly, I dislike him more than Dusty Baker. Absolutely no class!
Sorry, but he talks too much trash
He bashes Arod, insult Cubs fans etc. Seriously, not even LaRussa would do that.
There is very little I don't love about Rami

Really the antithesis of everything Ryno said in his Hall of Fame Acceptance speech. At least as a manager. And I hate that.

LaRussa is a great manager
He makes mediocre players look good for some time. He has more class than Ozzie, but I don’t like him since hes the Cardinal’s manager.
as bad as ozzie is
at least he doesn’t put people’s lives in danger

That's really hard.
Prior to this series I would have said LaRussa, hands down—but Oz has been seriously unprofessional.

Yeah, that whole "do you root for the Sox when they aren't playign the Cubs"

Now Jason you need to settle down again.....no more runs for the Sux....
I want to maintain a BLOW OUT here…..
Ok...One more hit, Marquis needs to be DONE
He’s done all he can reasonably be expected to done against a mortal enemy as well as another first place team. He does NOT need to be out there much longer. They need to get Wuertz back up NOW
Well, Next Year is here .. and Jack's century's gotta end some time .. GO CUBBIES!
he's been getting better .. but only the blowout inning
has kept us in this game. He can’t be too happy about his performance and it would be good to get him out now while he’s ahead

I was at a Reds/Cubs game in Cincy one year
My best friend accidentally spilled Eddie Vedder’s beer, Vedder was cool about it and sat w/ us for an inning… very nice guy
but the guys who work for the band are Sux fans

The bag carriers (Sux fans) work for the Cub fans. There is order in the world.

Marquis hits a grounder to first
Ball gets through, bounces of 2nd basemans hand, marquis dumbassly turns to 2nd, tagged out

the reason that was a shitty call
is the ump did not see it.
I have checked it three times on TiVo and the first base ump was not looking at Marquis. He just bought the play by AJ. What an ass. If the ump did not see it, he can not call it. All Marquis did was turn, he did not make a move to second.
THIS IS OUR CENTURY!!
That didn't look like he made an attempt to 2nd...

There was no reason for Marquis not to get back to the bag. Particularly after he saw AJ charging him.
I thought the same thing.
But the reverse angle showed he never would have beat him there.
