alright let's get some runs!
Hamels is tough though, we gotta make him work a whole lot more than we have been.

Want to help me report the bug?
Drew’s SBN email didn’t work.
Copy this:
Bleed Cubbie Blue is very buggy tonight. Posts are disappearing, comments being stuck as “unread”, comments are appearing multiple times, and everything is very slow. Thank you for your support.
—Fellow BCBer
And send it off to SBN.

Off topic... but can someone recommend a hotel?
Going to Wrigley for the Cards series in a few weeks. Need a hotel for Saturday night. The Days Inn on Diversey, where I usually stay, is sold out! Just looking for a place to crash that’s either in/near Wrigleyville or near another good area for four 26 year old guys looking to have a good drunken night.
For cheap and clean
I recommend the Heart O’ Chicago. Definitely not fancy, but it works for crash space.
I don't know about that one
I don’t want to stay in a motel… I just wanna keep the hotel under 200 bucks. I guess I should have specified that, sorry.
These guys wholeheartedly recommend the Hotel Coral Essex....

why are fans booing soriano
The guy is not a LF; what do these people expect? They should be booing the offense for letting Cole Hamels look like Cy Young every time we face him
They expect him to make routine plays....most of the time he does....
that time…he didn’t.
As I've told you before, I never repeat myself.

Honestly, I could care less about the NFL starting
This baseball season is more enthralling than any game involving Kyle Orton.

'Crap' is giving up 6-7 runs
Dempster was crap against the White Sox in June.
Not having his best stuff? That’s more accurate.

Had a stat on early in the game
In the last 19 games against the Cubs, the Phillies are 13-6.
Can’t figure out why they give the Cubs trouble
Guys, we're fine
I just put in a rally-starting Jack’s pizza, trust me, we’re good.
