I must say that the ump's strike zone has been pretty consistent and logical today.

Oriole by nurture. Cub by marriage.
agreed
The mental part of the game really affects him as well. Look at his performance leading up to the All-Star Game last year, how he performed in the game, and how he did afterward.
He is
a great pitcher but can be a headcase. I hope that as time goes on and he grows up he finds something to stabilize him.
Oriole by nurture. Cub by marriage.
That's the only reason I fear Marmol as closer
he seems to have trouble in very tight situations at times (such as yesterday)

What’s the score so far?

Funny the way it is, how a kid walks ten miles to school while another is dropping out

however small, the first step is hardest of all

I feel like...
…as long as they stick around .500 for a while, there’s hope.
I've committed to tweeting about the Cubs for the rest of the season. (Does that sound as ridiculous as I think it does?) Anyway, if you're on Twitter, you can follow me here.
ill have hope even if were ten back in september
if we hang around .500 while we struggle, will win the division by 10 games

Oriole by nurture. Cub by marriage.
For almost sure...
One of the games in the Philadelphia series late june. I’m going to try to make it to a mid-week game when I’m in ATL for a class from 18-22 May but I don’t know if that will work out.

Wow, that's interesting.
I could really only look at those during games if the Cubs were winning, though.

it looks pretty bleak for a while
but Theriot’s homer takes it right back the other way pretty much entirely.

I about fell out of my chair when he hit it.

there was a distinct
tone of disbelief in Pat’s voice as he called it.

I enjoyed my afternoon with you all
Catch you tomorrow!

You must come back since the Cubs won today!

So, now Ryan Theriot has hit a grand slam
in his career, but Prince Fielder has not (thanks to Reed).
Baseball is a funny game, indeed.
Hey, it's a new century!
Things are always goofy with the Cubs and if this game winds up being the turning point of the season nothing would be goofier than a season turning on a Theriot grand slam.
Jay is our Quarterback. I REPEAT JAY IS OUR QUARTERBACK. Did I mention we have a Quarterback who happens to be named Jay?.
This game certainly felt different from that moment on.
I was not watching, but it seemed to free up whatever was clogging up the bats.

was nice to see
us get some insurance runs.

I wonder if Neal Cotts may have turned the corner today.
Also, I believe that was David Patton’s first scoreless appearance (including his first MLB win).
Lots of positives about today’s game.
I do wonder what’s going on with Rich Harden. Hopefully, he can work it out.

I think
that Cotts, Patton and Marmol all had very positive outings despite the 5 walks between the three of them. I was certainly encouraged by Marmol finding the strikezone again.

It's almost like a lightbulb goes on for Marmol
and he finds his release point to throw strikes.

if Cotts can be productive
that’s a HUGE weight off the pen. Because Lou’s just gonna keep throwing him out there anyway.

He certainly had his moments last year.
Besides, someone has to be left handed. May as well be Cotts.

Between the Bulls and the Cubs
Beteween the Bulls and the Cubs there might be a medical alert put out in Chicago for heart patients to not watch sporting events.
Jay is our Quarterback. I REPEAT JAY IS OUR QUARTERBACK. Did I mention we have a Quarterback who happens to be named Jay?.
The Bulls have totally shocked me with the way they've played against the Celtics.
I’ve been very impressed with the fight they’ve shown.
