Somebody definitely missed a sign

yeah, that was either a busted hit and run
or edmonds goofed

For a team with 95 wins, we do this sort of thing a lot.

baserunning errors suck.

I'm not that upset.
If nothing else, it’ll give Lou something to yell at them about to keep them focused

Everybody else went out to get TP.
We’re gonna hit Evil BCB after the game.

Fontenot may be the least likely looking home run hitter. He packs a big punch with his 5-foot-8 physique. Where's the power come from?
"I don't know," Fontenot said. "I've always had decent power my whole life. I guess it's bat speed. Timing a little bit. My grown-man strength."

I would like to think Mike in IT for teaching me how NOT to post a picture in a thread and SWL for giving me the inspiration for falsely thinking I was ready to post a picture. Wu Tang is for the children.

WTF?????

Can't say we have had opportunities
Only reason I want the Cubs to win
in a meaningless game is so the Mets are the WC team. That way we’d face them in the NLDS instead of the Dodgers.
Never, but NEVER, put ketchup on a hot dog.
Don't want the Brewers to get too much momentum.

McClung struck out
the side in Chi last week.

Not exactly the Algonquin Round Table when it comes to witty repartee.

When did that become a family tradition?

Catcher's interference..
error on Hill…geez…

Gaudin is a pile of crap!!
Ready for the playoffs?? This looks like a bad little league team!!
"He can't hit, he can't field, he can't run—all he can do is beat you."
I guess Gaudin would rather go bar-hopping in October.

Well, the A team
would have put in a better performance.
Some of you were lobbying for Gaudin this morning.
You may wish to move your position to my side. “Not this year, chad”
Dang, well, I hope the Cubs can make the Brewers sweat a little bit at least.

Seriously? They have MLB wave caps? I need one of those.

Marshall & Marquis in the Playoff 'Pen
Those two should help things out. Marshall can be the LOOGY and Marquis can be the bridge to the late-inning guys.

Len just mentioned that Howry DID make the postseason roster.

Did I hear just now on ESPN that Manuel announced that Santana will start TOMORROW instead of Sunday? Or did I miss that?
