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

by cocknfire on Jul 13, 2008 3:39 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

wonder if the Giant's manager

is gonna put him away wet?

by tootle on Jul 13, 2008 3:40 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Right

It’s not as though you had said the first two hits were tatoo’d off Tim.

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.

Lincecum is filthy, but if anyone can break him its Pancakes

Complete lack of trust in the bullpen...

to leave in Lincecum vs. Aram.

Tom Emanski

Just sold 4 copies of his defensive drills video to show to the lesser Molina brother.

by Gleebo on Jul 13, 2008 3:37 PM CDT   0 recs

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.

by BMoney79 on Jul 13, 2008 3:38 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Nope, not even close.

And I don’t want him to get a stupid muscle pull hustling out a worthless grounder.

by Cubfansince1957 on Jul 13, 2008 3:41 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

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."

by BMoney79 on Jul 13, 2008 3:41 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

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

by Texas Wahoo on Jul 13, 2008 3:40 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Yup

Probably. Makes the most sense.

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.

that

it was our strategy during the NLDS last year. I wouldnt be surprised if some random D’Bag fans named a baby GIDP as many times as we grounded into them.

by Gleebo on Jul 13, 2008 3:39 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

No ARam, no DLee, no Kosuke

Could be done, but it’ll be hard

by cocknfire on Jul 13, 2008 3:40 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

I hope

So….Lincecum is just too damn good.

by Gleebo on Jul 13, 2008 3:40 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Lincecum

Good lord this guy is good. SI cover did nothing to slow him down.

by Gleebo on Jul 13, 2008 3:40 PM CDT   0 recs

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 to parent up   0 recs

Best Pitcher

Its gotta be him or Webb.

by Gleebo on Jul 13, 2008 3:43 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

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.

I wonder what Fukudome is batting since the beginning of June. I assume it’s not all that impressive the way his BA has nose dived.

even if we lose.

I’ll take a 4.5 game lead at the break. And tied for the best record in baseball.

by sackings108 on Jul 13, 2008 3:43 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

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.

by Gleebo on Jul 13, 2008 3:45 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

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?

Just as well, IMHO

Ruins a guy’s swing for two or three weeks at least

I'd rather not have them in the Derby.

I’ve heard it screws up their swings.

Neddie Always Good For

a week’s worth of losses. If Milwaukee finishes 5 games back or less then you’ll know the reason why.

Id have Sabathia pitch till he blows out his arm….and then make him pitch with the other arm.

by Gleebo on Jul 13, 2008 3:47 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Yep....

But I’d rather have Marmol pitch with his right foot before having someone like Will Ohman still around.

by Gleebo on Jul 13, 2008 3:48 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

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!!
