firing Millen trumps anything that will happen this season for them?

"The one constant through all the years, Ray, has been . . . baseball. America is ruled over it like an army of steamrollers." It isn't "rolled", it's "ruled".
Tommie Agee was out.
67 pitches for CC.
"I'm not much of a chemistry guy, you know. Chemistry to me is a pinch-hit double with the bases loaded"--Jim Frey, Chicago Tribune, 1985.
That's the Brewers owner??
he looks like he’s 30 years old
That's the beauty of baseball. You never know what's going to happen until the final out -- Lou
Mark Grace yesterday said
he’s a real nice, normal guy for a gazillionaire.
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.
I really wish
i could see this game….i’ve missed the entire season so far
you just stay safe over there!
Our prayers are with you.
Never, but NEVER, put ketchup on a hot dog.
+700,000,000,000
That's the beauty of baseball. You never know what's going to happen until the final out -- Lou
I'll be home on leave
On wednesday……I’ll be watching the playoffs from vegas most likely
I don't see
CC going more then 6 or 7 at the most. There’s no way he goes 130 pitches today
Let's Go Mets!
I feel so dirty for saying that.
"I'm not much of a chemistry guy, you know. Chemistry to me is a pinch-hit double with the bases loaded"--Jim Frey, Chicago Tribune, 1985.
I was at the game yesterday, too
It was amazing.
thats cool
but how the heck does that happen when your team is fighting for the playoffs? I guess they don’t know that at the beginning of the year when the Cubs fans buy all the tix

Our relievers have looked great today, against a potential playoff team
who should be trying as hard as possible. Hart just made Corey Hart look foolish.
Yesterday when Marquis was pitching to Braun
I said “Jew to Jew”
Mets are going to blow it
I was hoping the cubs would face them in the 1st round
Mets lose, Brewers lose, they both have to play tomorrow
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.
Mike Jacobs Flies to the track, 1 down
Runners tag, Fish on 2nd and 3rd.
Never, but NEVER, put ketchup on a hot dog.
we need some more runs
That's the beauty of baseball. You never know what's going to happen until the final out -- Lou
Agreed
Can’t believe our relievers are going to do THIS well all day today.

Pat just called Prince Cecil
Even he is relaxing a bit today.

Beats Princess
“Call me by my name”
I have discovered in twenty years of moving around a ball park, that the knowledge of the game is usually in inverse proportion to the price of the seats. ~Bill Veeck
"Cecil" is all he'll hear from opposing fans from now on
after admitting to that hissy fit he threw at Wrigley.
Never, but NEVER, put ketchup on a hot dog.
81 pitches for CC.
"I'm not much of a chemistry guy, you know. Chemistry to me is a pinch-hit double with the bases loaded"--Jim Frey, Chicago Tribune, 1985.
Hill helped him on that at bat
according to game cast, none of those pitches should have been strikes……he’s losing his command.
I wonder why no team uses a shift on Theriot
He never hits it to LF. I’m not sure his bat is that speedy, although he does seem to have good bat control.

I haven't had a chance
to read anything since Friday but I just read an article that said Hoff has baically made the team over Pie. Has that been discussed while I was gone? I really hope Lou has not made that a defininite situation.
yeah it was discussed ad naseum
Friday night.. A lot of Hoff supporters but not me.

I don't agree with the decision.
That’s about all I’ll say.

but dude, speed never slumps!

I don't think it's official yet
but Gordo speculated on it this morning.

Amezega Taps Back to Smith
3 down, middle of 6th, 2-0 Marlins.

whew
That's the beauty of baseball. You never know what's going to happen until the final out -- Lou
Man, that was close. CC is a stud.
"I'm not much of a chemistry guy, you know. Chemistry to me is a pinch-hit double with the bases loaded"--Jim Frey, Chicago Tribune, 1985.
like L&B said...
next year they should re-sign CC and fire everybody else

Gah
I love Harden and all, but can you imagine how ridiculous the Cubs would have been with CC?
by Craig in South Bend on Sep 28, 2008 2:40 PM CDT reply actions
Who do you want to win the Wild Card?
NYM or Brew-crew. I say Brew-crew, for the Cubs to play LA the first round. But I want that playoff in Shea tommorow.

"Cubs Win!" "Yes, Sir!" - Pat and Ron, June 12, 2008, Walk off HBP, bottom of the 11th
Mets
Cubs can batter their pitching, esp. their weak bullpen.
Never, but NEVER, put ketchup on a hot dog.
My God
Easily, the Mets. It’s not even close. Dodgers have a good playoff pitching rotation. I’d take the Mets in the first round, over the Dodgers. Mets have been scratching and clawing their way into this. Might as well kick a team while they’re down.
by Craig in South Bend on Sep 28, 2008 2:45 PM CDT up reply actions
The Dodgers are the worst team in the playoffs, and it's not even close.
I really don’t know why people keep saying this stuff.
2 run homer beltran

I was just about to say, stupid Metropolitans
Glad to see they’re still in it

anybody warming up
for the cubs in the bottom of the 7th?
Someone must be, I think Hart has gone 2 innings

OT: I've discovered crack for cats
… laser pointers. 24/7 they beg for their little red dot… it’s hilarious (and marginally annoying)
That's the beauty of baseball. You never know what's going to happen until the final out -- Lou
9 outs
to go
-Charlemagne
"Cubs Win!" "Yes, Sir!" - Pat and Ron, June 12, 2008, Walk off HBP, bottom of the 11th
Sean Marshall in

twins are winning
not looking good for the white sox right now
I hope the Sox
play Monday and Tuesday and don’t make the playoffs. Give me some baseball to watch
-Charlemagne
"Cubs Win!" "Yes, Sir!" - Pat and Ron, June 12, 2008, Walk off HBP, bottom of the 11th
Sox are a 1/2 game back
If the twins win, it’s all over the the south siders
they have a makeup game
-Charlemagne
"Cubs Win!" "Yes, Sir!" - Pat and Ron, June 12, 2008, Walk off HBP, bottom of the 11th
I don't like this at all
That's the beauty of baseball. You never know what's going to happen until the final out -- Lou
That was such a strike
"The one constant through all the years, Ray, has been . . . baseball. America is ruled over it like an army of steamrollers." It isn't "rolled", it's "ruled".
Tommie Agee was out.
did you know
he is only 23? he looks older
-Charlemagne
"Cubs Win!" "Yes, Sir!" - Pat and Ron, June 12, 2008, Walk off HBP, bottom of the 11th
Sean's not acquitting himself well

haha

Endy Chavez Saves The Game
Brilliant catch on the dead run, 3 down. Still tied at 2-2
Never, but NEVER, put ketchup on a hot dog.
this sucks

Where did the strike zone go?
"The one constant through all the years, Ray, has been . . . baseball. America is ruled over it like an army of steamrollers." It isn't "rolled", it's "ruled".
Tommie Agee was out.
Basesloaded
at least there is a force out at home
-Charlemagne
"Cubs Win!" "Yes, Sir!" - Pat and Ron, June 12, 2008, Walk off HBP, bottom of the 11th
If there's one thing this game showed us
it’s who will be reliable in the bullpen.

Glenn Close Sang "God Bless America"
would’ve done Kate Smith proud.

Alright, 1 more!
Here’s to hoping this will be the last time the Cubs have to see Counsell’s goofy swing this year.
by Craig in South Bend on Sep 28, 2008 3:04 PM CDT reply actions
Huge at bat here
get this out, the brewers will be demoralized
not that up
