Hats
I will eat one if we come back and win this one.
Let's go
1st and 2nd
Current temperature in hell: 45 degrees F - and falling!
To be fair to who?
"I love when they play that Go Cubs Win song."
Wasn't just referring to the hits
He’s getting up into the triple digits on pitch count
Unless he’s Superman, he’s got to be getting tired
wonder if the Giant's manager
is gonna put him away wet?
Right
It’s not as though you had said the first two hits were tatoo’d off Tim.
"I love when they play that Go Cubs Win song."
11-6 Cards, mid 9th (another comeback??)
Let my ashes blow in a beautiful snow from the prevailing 30 mile an hour southwest wind...
When my last remains go flying over the left field wall, I'll bid the bleacher bums adieu,
And I will come to my final resting place, out on Waveland Avenue.
--Steve Goodman
Complete lack of trust in the bullpen...
to leave in Lincecum vs. Aram.

Just sold 4 copies of his defensive drills video to show to the lesser Molina brother.
He looked surprised that it was fair
Not that it mattered anyway, he coulda been Rickey Henderson, he was not gonna beat that play. Taylor made.
"I love when they play that Go Cubs Win song."
Nope, not even close.
And I don’t want him to get a stupid muscle pull hustling out a worthless grounder.

Wasn't a matter of hustling
As mentioned, he stumbled outta the box. Was not dogging it to first.
"I love when they play that Go Cubs Win song."
Whatever way ya wanna cut it
He wasn’t gonna beat that throw anyway.
"I love when they play that Go Cubs Win song."
He wsn't making it to first regardless.

I think that's what he always thinks
Why hustle, I’m not that fast, I’ll just wait and make sure it’s fair before I waste any energy
I Agree Somewhat
in that ARam doesn’t always run out every time he makes contact. Then again maybe I’m so old-school that “looking like you mean it” counts more in my book.

Three runs on the Giants' pen?
I think we could do it.

Lincecum
Good lord this guy is good. SI cover did nothing to slow him down.
I think he is the best pitcher in baseball.
Funny, because when he was in high school he was crazy wild.
by Seattle Cubs Fan on Jul 13, 2008 3:41 PM CDT up reply actions
I'll Take Vintage Catfish
Not saying those guys aren’t the best right now, but the guys I grew up with that I thought were the best ever were Catfish and Seaver.

Speaking of the AS break
How many times do you think we will hear the announcers complaining about there being too many Cubs on the roster.
+/- 15 times.
They Should Instead Complain About
the dumb rule that there has to be at least one rep per team.

Beach Boy Brian Wilson coming in for the 9th.....didn't he lose his mind???
Maybe he will come out with his piano and some sand…..
still no word...
on any cubs in the HR derby?

I'd rather not have them in the Derby.
I’ve heard it screws up their swings.

I'm sure CC turned to Yost before the game and said,
“I’ve been here for a week watching this team, so here’s the deal, if you want any chance of re-signing me, I’ll tell YOU when I’m coming out, got it?”
THIS IS OUR CENTURY!!

just saying.
I think he’s one of the least hateable brewers. I’d love him on the Cubs. Take him over Kosuke any day.
i like gabe kapler
we share the same name, and he has a good comeback story – but i HAAAAAAAAATE COREY HART!!!!!!!! from that list, hart – although yes, sackings, he is a hell of a player.

Not Saying You're Wrong
It’s just a reflexive part of myself to think more about why I/we lost so it doesn’t happen next time.

I'll take 2/3.
Everyone gets a nice rest and we come back Fri. with guns a blazin.
Carlos Zambrano and Rich Harden. Now that's a pair of Aces.

One of these days we will get 21 games over .500 and never look back!!!
and hopefully it will happen on the first road trip!1
Enjoy these next few days. I’ll miss all of you…
THIS IS OUR CENTURY!!
Well, we lost to a great pitcher....and we scared em at the end...oh well...
4 1/2 game lead and we should be better and rested and healthy for the 2nd half….feeling good
I figured. . .
When Soriano went down, they needed to stay within 2 or 3 game of 1st place, and they’d be OK when he came back. They have done a whole lot better than that.
by Seattle Cubs Fan on Jul 13, 2008 4:02 PM CDT up reply actions
Good up to this point
This team is the best cubs team that I have ever seen. Hopefully the second half goes as good as the first. Maybe less injuries…
Have a good break everyone!
Notice th "L" flag flying from the scoreboard in that last shot?
It’s appropriate.

Interested To See How They'd Do
against the best, because they’ll be doing that every day should they make the playoffs. Not a horrible effort except for DeRo’s miscue in RF. Hopefully come playoff time, DeRo will be at 2B and Dome will be in RF.

come after the all-star break thats how it will

Not to mention. . .
No Soriano. . . I figure they match up well against any pitcher they are likely to see in the playoffs.
