"When I got to Chicago, fans came to Wrigley Field just to have fun, now they come to see us win. The expectations have changed, for the players and for the fans. It’s about winning." Kerry Wood, 7/14/08

why can’t the cubs ever hit it where it needs to be hit! runner on 3rd less than two hit a fly ball – hit and run hit it on the ground!

can we win one of these close games? i can't remember the last 1 or 2 run win we
have when they didn’t come back on us in the end to make it close
No crystal ball required
I’m sitting here watching fastball after fastball out of the maddening hand of Howry Doody, and I’m saying to the room, “One more fastball to Banyan and this game is tied up.”
K, Cubbies... put one on the board,
and get Marmol pumped up.

he can get the job done – wish howry could

well, I was only away when I would have to pause the game (via TiVo)
to play or walk my dogs. if you had two border collies you would know what I mean. these boys need lots of attention!
but anyway, there would be 15-20minute periods where I would have to catch up, so I would stay off BCB until I catch up. BTW, I think my dogs were good luck because it seems every Cub rally happened while I was watching on TiVo.
I did get a pass from the Hall Monitor, however every time I left the keyboard. :-)

Hands down most exciting, important, finger biting, game of the year. WOW. I don’t think I’ve ever witnessed a game where every at-bat was so important and the game was so close and considering WE GOT TO SABATHIA!
For excitement alone the Rockies game was better
For the mental health of Cub fans this was the best game.

What a great game. My team lost but it sure was a fun one to watch.

Good win for the Cubbies, now all the brewers need to do is get rid of Weeks.

I didn't mind that call
That’s the right call when your tied at home in the ninth. I’m more sick of seeing Cameron on the field.
Why are you telling him that?
Weeks is the Cubs’ best player.
"I've never complained about it. I'm thankful to have a jersey." Mark DeRosa, 22 Aug 2007
He's good defensively. Has he been that disappointing offensively?
To me, the other disappointing guy from the Brewers’ perspective is Bill Hall. What happened to him?
"I've never complained about it. I'm thankful to have a jersey." Mark DeRosa, 22 Aug 2007
Hall gets really hot and really cold
Cameron just swings threw too many good pitches and his defense hasn’t been that stellar.
Cameron is pretty near to his career OPS, but I'm surprised to hear about his defense.
Age, perhaps?
Do you think Hall would be better suited doing what DeRo does and floating all around the field? Or couldn’t he handle that mentally?
"I've never complained about it. I'm thankful to have a jersey." Mark DeRosa, 22 Aug 2007
It's not that Cameron has been horrible
but it’s more that you hear of a gold glover coming to play center and you expect some spectacular plays. He hasn’t made many plays outside of the routine ones.
Hall’s fine at third, I would rather see Kaplar in center. He’s good out there and he has better contact. Brewers need more contact hitters, not power hitters.
Shhhhhhhhhhhh....

Lilly was great until that last inning…didn’t think we’d do so well against CC.
Hopefully Z can keep it reigned in tomorrow.
"This is the kind of thing … that makes you want to see the Chicago Cubs team lose." Marty Brennaman
Even with the HR's
We’re playing a HR crazy team so we narrowed the damage with them. Even Howry looked better minus that one pitch.
Just don't walk guys
Make them hit Solo bombs and we can beat them. Just like we did tonight
Missouri Tigers 2008 Cotton Bowl Champs
which is why im going to be flamed on here
But I think Howry did a much better job this inning. Still not great. But he had better command and really just one bad pitch. The two strikeouts were good to see.
You are right Howry wasn't the worst today
He does need some innings in less stressful situations though.

to me, cc is going to be a HUGE (literally) disappointment in 2 years when his weight catches up with him…...whatever team signs him this offseason is going to get zito-ized

but the homer in me says harden! haha

Did anyone else have technical problems?
The game thread froze up and I couldn’t even get back on the site until after the game was over.
Hey, it's a new century!

Did anyone think Chad Gaudin would have 2 wins as a Cub
before Rich Harden had a single win?

Huge key win
Sabathia is defeated, has throw 120 some pitches, thank you ned yost, lee and soriano come through with great 9th inning at bats in the clutch, marmol shuts the team down, now if were able to win 1 of the next 3 we have accomplished our goal and the matchups should favor us. We are in the drivers seat now

"Every team will win 60 games, every team will lose 60 games, it's what the team does in the other 42 games that decides the season."
And I just read them all
because i missed the fargin game….it sounded like a hell of a lot of fun!
Great win…lets take the series now.
"Drink,Drugs and shagging models...the rest I wasted." George Best on where his millions went
you were at a great game. hopefully there will be many more
the Cub fans sounded really loud in the 9th. Congrats!!
THIS IS OUR CENTURY!!
i know it's still early
but i don’t think you can over-stress how big this win was…..
marmol is officially BACK, sori, dlee, aramis are heating up at the right time
Z is gonna be jacked tomorrow and is gonna come through, i can feel it
Fonzie is back
Derrek’s hitting the ball in the air again. Rami’s made solid contact. Dome worked a great AB against a tough lefty.
Seriously. I can’t remember the last time a win felt this GOOD to me.
Jacked about Z going tomorrow.
I think it’s just his face. - dat cubfan daver

Nope
I am the last, lol!
I watched the game until I came to work. I knew I wouldnt be able to type, eat rolaids, and pay attention to the game all at once. Seems the pre all star break Cubs have returned. Great game. A hard fought win and for now, we have a 2 game cushion at the top. Sleep well those of you that get to sleep over night. I know I will sleep well when I get home in the moring.

ps
at evil BCB they put a good mouthin on Al for no apparent reason. I don’t get the animosity. I hope it was just frustration for most and that the minority of them are total tools. I also didn’t notice that they refer to us as the bizzaro BCB. Kinda funny.

Two very over looked guys this game
Ted Lilly: another quality start. How this guy keeps doing this is unreal. He is amazing and I’m hoping we get him 15 wins this year.
Reed Johnson: He saved DLee’s bacon, got us (at the time) the go head run, and is becoming quickly the third leg of the “Scrappy Pyramid of Victory.”
(I would also like to give a shout out to the Blue Jays, “Thank you.”)
I wish the Brewer's an everlasting misery and pain, so naturally I put them in Milwaukee.

"Scrappy pyramid of victory"...classic...

Next time
someone wonders why you’re so passionate about the Cubs and baseball, just tell them about this game.
There isn’t anything else on the planet that rivals what we saw tonight.
Tinker to Evers to Chance.
This is going to be one heck of a game today.
Z vs. Sheets. Rematch from opening day. 3 game lead vs. 1 game lead. I can’t wait.
