It was really funny (you'll all appreciate this)
The first day at my new job we did an icebreaker of two truths and a lie for one of my classes. And one of my truths was that I was a baseball buff. The guys in my class all thought that was the lie. I pointed to the Cubs gnome in the corner and was like, absolute baseball nut…so they decided to quiz me with the following:
“Who pitches the 7th for the Cubs”
ha ha ha. When I told them it varies, but I’m pretty happy if it’s Shark or Gaudin one of them said I was wrong and said it was Carlos, which I promptly corrected, and then mentioned I was pretty cool as long as it wasn’t Howry.
12 teenage boys jaws dropped and they were like immediately impressed. I literally won them over in like 10 minutes. It was hilarious and awesome.
Believe or Leave ~Cubswynn 9/9/2008

Totally agree
The way things went down last season, as someone who grew up with the Cream and Crimson under Bobby Knight, was pathetic. The whole Sampson Era was a debacle.
I’m on board with the things Crean is doing, and I think Painter is a heckuva coach, and with the two of them in the state, the games should be fun for the next decade or so.

Marshall looks "looser" on the mound tonight...
maybe knowing there’s no pressure on him is helping…or course…it could just be that he’s facing the Mets.

He also looks like a giant when up to bat
Totally dwarfed the catcher and ump, I know he’s tall but looked much taller than normal.

Why are the Mets playing a rookie named Nick Evans?
…aren’t they in a playoff race…

He has a pulse. None of their other LFs do.
He’s actually had a decent year as a fill-in.

Thats a good thing IMO. Let him suck all this week. That way his hot streak starts in the playoffs.

I think Lincecum has this wrapped up...but food for thought
If Johan can’t win this game, I would think it tanks his Cy Young chances. Thoughts?

If it's not Lincecum, something is utterly wrong with the voters

lincecum has been unbelievably awesome.
webb’s been streaky and he only leads in wins.

I wouldn't give it to either
but Santana has fewer chances than even Dempster, I thinks.
One day I hope to come up with something worthy of this space.
Oh yeah, I think Lincecum has it wrapped up to.
If Santana had a chance, a loss tonight would definitely end it.

I would agree w/ Johan not winning it.
but I don’t think he’d win it even if he had an awesome game tonight

Question: Who is this guy wearing Sean Marshall's uniform?
He’s pretty good, whoever he is

Sean is pretty good
he’s been in the “deserved better” category all season.

Damn Sean Marshall
Pretty good first three innings. Its awesome that we have a guy like him to just plug into the rotation for a spot start when needed.

Anyone else remember his first game against the Cardinals?
I remember thinking how awesome it was that he was so tall and a lefty.
Run! Hurry!
