Atleast I feel Lou is being honest with this. No update on Harden, sure they will say something on TV.

They did talk to

Harden on CSN and he said there is soreness but it’s not a soreness like he’s ahd with other injuries.

Need. A. Win.

Need a distraction from all these pitching horror stories.

Go Cubs.

I agree

need? nah

but gaining another .5 game in front of the brewers considering our troubles would sure feel good

by cubswynn on Sep 3, 2008 7:04 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

hope the bats are live and the pitch is on point tonight

I wish it were winter so we could freeze it into ice blocks and skate on it and melt it in the spring time and drink it!

Exactly. He'll probably get all liquored up

because he knows he’s done for the regular season. He’ll probably then turn into a rampaging crying monstrosity (Think the "Hulk") and proceed to tear down half of Wacker drive.

if thats the case let me restate the question who refuses an MRI

I couldn't believe

when Lou said they had it lined up for Z and he didn’t show up. They have no idea why.

by sue369 on Sep 3, 2008 7:06 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

he's obviously not at the park either

is he at the Wrigley tonight?

He wasn't there

when Lou spoke.

by sue369 on Sep 3, 2008 7:10 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

he aint there - that's why no one knows what is going on

can’t they call his cell phone???

Is this a shade of Sosa?

Or any other player who wanted out of a contract/town so bad he did dumb things in order to get shipped out?
Just askin’…

One day I hope to come up with something worthy of this space.

let's go Cubbies!!

Take advantage of the Brewers getting swept.

is there info anywhere on how to make BCB work on a blackberry?

by derv on Sep 3, 2008 7:05 PM CDT   0 recs

Sounds like it...

…but what we don’t know is whether the doc recommended he get it done tomorrow instead. If he has inflamation in the shoulder, they like to get that under control so the MRI will show more.

I am just speculating as to why, it’s also possible Z just decided on his own.

I know.

Doesn’t mean I haven’t been catching the games… :-( But at least I missed the trolls.

I’ve left early the last few games. I have no patience for all that crap.

I started to ponder what trolls are like in their real lives LOL

thats when I realized that maybe I should just leave the next time they come :)

We’re going to win tonight, aren’t we, Demp?

by Emelie on Sep 3, 2008 7:09 PM CDT   0 recs

they planned on skipping him from the beginning

hendry said even if we were 5 games down, we’d still do this

by cubswynn on Sep 3, 2008 7:11 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

And a quick inning for Dempster.

Let’s put a few on the board early!

I hope D-Lee has an incredible day.

I still don't like Theriot's double-pump.

It’s almost annoying me as much as Sori’s hop.

by zevkalman on Sep 3, 2008 7:12 PM CDT   0 recs

He has gotten away...

…with that so far. Let’s hope it doesn’t come up and bite them in a critical spot down the road.

I don't understand...

when Cedeno is in the linup, he’s not at SS.

WOW

Can’t do ANYTHING with that pitch. Wolf knows how to pitch Lee.

Was that a strike or did Ronnie over react?

It was a strike

and without hearing it, Ronnie overreacted.

Ditto

I didn’t see the pitch, but if Ronnie says it, it is an overreaction.
