I went to Target too
....last minute school supply shopping. The Cubs should be televised for every game the rest of the season….that has to be the key!

I wonder how they choose the runners?
I remember one time when the Braves played in Milwaukee, Eddie Perez (who was on the DL) ran in one of the costumes. I don’t think he won…

Wow....just wow....so far I cannot truly believe we are doing this well...
but baseball is the most unpredictable sport so it figures that a red hot team like the Brewers would cool down and the Cubbies suddenly heat up….....I am red all over from pinching myself…....
It's pretty great isn't it?

They simply are not true, and if we talk of them we give them credence. If anything this Cubs team, this year, is a team of destiny!

Aw, C'mon
It was a pitchout. It’s his only defense to stay out of the patented Lee-hard-hit-GIDPs.
Fair 'nuff.
But I’ll take it.
The shock took Hart by surprise… “Huh? Not a grounder scooting through a gap?”
Which is a large part of how triples happen.
But those mistakes only happen if you drive the ball to the outfield, which is what you’re trying to do. Have to give Theriot credit for those.
GIDPs will also happen.
He needs more line drives and fly balls. Len and Bob were talking the other day about how his flyballl to groundba;; ratio had swung toward the grounders lately.

As an ND fan....
I’m loving the Shark highlights.
I’m loving Reed Johnson’s base hit even more.

On the road too :)

They're saying Dempster wanted to go back out

Never mind. Demp is in the dugout.

Okay, so Demp is a stud...
but why burn him up in July with a 4-run lead? Warm-fuzzies only go so far.
give me a break.

just got here...
but my favorite quote today has been…
towards Brewers fans
“A full house beats a pair of aces everytime.” :)
"Don't give me any of that ole' bulls#!t." - Lou Brown
Looks like the three aces turned out to be jokers!
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
Which one are the Cubs?
Dude, the Cubs have 2 All-star and Rich Harden. It’s not like they’re the only ones with ridiculous pitching. Honestly, a Lilly/Zambrano/Dempster/Harden is probably the most complete 4man rotation in the Bigs right now.
"I think Hendry still has a few years to serve on his 'grand larceny' sentence before he can shop in Pittsburgh again" - ballhawk
Lou was just playing the game
see which hitter is coming out, then make your decision. Smart, canny managing.

makes me very grateful that the Cubs’ superstars - Sori, Z, Ramy, DLee - are guys who want to be good teammates and don’t want to have special rules.

Another great play!
Colin, has Rammy really gotten better on D, or are my eyes decieving me?

We sure have been leaving a lot of guys on base tonight
...let’s bring these guys home. I’d like some insurance going into the 9th. Stop letting these guys hang around!!
