I'll SECOND That
"Sometimes I feel like as a Cubs fan if I’m not worrying about something, I’m not doing it right." - HalfBlindCubbieGirl
Y'know...
I tried incorporate teaching and Cubs, but failed. Miserably. This was the best alternative I had.

Please tell me that Lou is coming out to get ejected for that K out call.
As I've told you before, I never repeat myself.

The Minnesota Twins have the Republican National Convetion in town
.......so they got that going for them according to Karros
Yes but
The twins will be out of town at that point in time and that’s really the hardest point for a team…
eye roll

Despite our Cubs getting pasted,
this has been a fun first time here for me. I kinda likes it here. Just sayin’.
Misery loving company
and all that. Can’t wait to be here when we win a game (he said, crossing fingers and hoping no one thinks of him as a jinx).

It makes it
easier to share the pain with others too.
Good luck Shawn Johnson, Lolo Jones and Doug Schwab. Bring home the gold!!!

I come from a long line of teachers
you guys have a tough, tough job on many levels. My bro is a middle school music teacher. Favorite story: he hung a picture of Leonardo DiCaprio in his music room at the height of the Titanic craziness. Whenever the boys acted out or screwed up they had to come up and kiss the poster… ROFL.
Thanks
Been doing this for 25 years. I’d quit if I wasn’t so damned good at it.

I think that band of sunlight coming across the plate is in their eyes right now
and it is making it hard to pick up the ball.
That is my guess.
THIS IS OUR CENTURY!!
I can't remember another game like this one all year
where we seem to be just playing out the string. (Not saying we can’t come back. Just commenting on the feel of it.)

If they have to have one
of those type of games now is the time to have it instead of say Oct..
Good luck Shawn Johnson, Lolo Jones and Doug Schwab. Bring home the gold!!!
Crap
This is the last day game for the next eight days.
My next sig line quote will also be from Lou Piniella, and the first word will be either "Look", or "Listen", followed by a comma.
Including today?

At least
They’re early… that one stretch of time where every game seemed to start at like 9:30pm killed me
What's their record in day games?
I’m too lazy to look it up

OK, I will say it now.
IF we are not going to score enough to win this game, then score no runs in the 9th. Don’t waste ‘em. Just save ‘em for tomorrow and beat the DeadBirds tomorrow and take the series.
Either score enough to win the game or go quietly into the night.
THIS IS OUR CENTURY!!

Are you kidding me? A pinch hitter up 10-3?
LaRussa is a schmoe…
I hope they remember to run it up on the Cards tomorrow…...

Hoping That Demps Pwns Them Tomorrow
7+ innings of 4 hits-or-less ball, whilst the offense pounds Carpenter.

And you'd think our "ace" wouldn't be the pitcher that would start any of those.

we will let them get it out of their system..... No hits or runs tomorrow
Careful Son, They will break your heart. And then stomp on it. But I will be a Cubs fans until I die. Its your fault Harry!!!
Well...
It’s my anniversary today…23 yrs of wedded headlock, and a dinner appointment awaits. This was truly a blast, although the wrong team is winning. Nice meeting you, and see you tomorrow, all!
23 years? In a row?

That's weird.
season debut, right?

3rd or 4th game

Pretty sure it'll be his third
He went 4 innings the first time, and I think 5 the second time, so he’s still probably on a pitch count.
My next sig line quote will also be from Lou Piniella, and the first word will be either "Look", or "Listen", followed by a comma.
So they might be 12-5 since Soriano's return, instead of 13-4
I can live with that.

Nats have a good game???? BWWAHHHHHH!!

wasn't that memorable?
He was so good interviewing Lou… and Lou loving every moment… AND giving him good answers… just perfect

Talking all about Yankees, Joba, etc.. What’s next, Brett Favre’s bathing habits? Sheeesh!

Gag.

The good thing is that we've suffered through precious few of these.
The Mariners might just call it another day at the office.

The best thing about this
is that it’s only one loss, and we got all of our bad pitching and bad hitting out of our system. Tomorrow, everything (except Joe Morgan) will be a blissful Cubs celebration.

oh, well.
I’d rather have won a game like yesterday’s and lost a game like today’s rather than the other way around.
Can’t win every game. Sometimes it just happens.

Today's game made me sick at first
Then I realized that maybe this will really wake up the team. Not that we weren’t playing well, because we have been playing awesome, but maybe the whole team can look at this game and refocus.
The whole team should go out, get wasted, and then kick ass tomorrow.
