It's a beautiful night for baseball
And about 8 Cubs walks.

Ugh
With ARam up there’s just no excuse…..
In Theriot's defense
I think he might have been safe…
Should it have even been close? No. But I can’t tell from the angles I’ve seen if he was actually tagged before he hit the bag…
Believe or Leave ~Cubswynn 9/9/2008
he had no business being that far off the base
theres no defense
Hence this part of my post:

I’m just saying he looked sort of safe.

If Theriot doesn’t get picked off, Lilly doesn’t give up the HR?
by chitownhawkeye on May 7, 2009 7:27 PM CDT up reply actions
maybe Riot was susposed to pitch for Lilly?
baseball is a game of outs......pop out, ground out, line out, pitch out, strike out, fly out, and Fox and Bud's favorite black out
Obviously the pitch would have been thrown later
had Riot not been caught stealing, so it would have had a different aerodynamasity and therefore there would have been no homerun. So of course it is all on Theriot. Jeez.

From ESPN.com’s AJ Mass: “Lilly has done well against the Astros (whom he faces Thursday) recently with a 2-0 record in his past three starts against them. Plus, as a team, the Astros have hit only .216 against Lilly over his career. Lilly makes for a good start.”

It's ok, you hide behind that message board.
Its not that I don’t think you are entitled to your opinion, but with constant bitching and moaning, it just discredits everything you have to say.
Plus its nice to have someone to take out my stresses of the day on
Funny the way it is, how a kid walks ten miles to school while another is dropping out
I say this with all due respect, because after insulting me, I wouldn't want you to think that I'm hiding, behind the message board
I’m finding a little irony in that, but I digress. But I don’t particularly care whether you’ve decided that my having a problem with poor play is “bitching” or not. You guys spend WAY more time bitching about my comments than I do talking about the game.

lol, see this is my point
It took someone calling you out personally for you to have something meaningful to say
We’re we happy Theriot got picked off at third? NO. But constantly bitching about it isnt going to change anything
I just ask you stop looking at everyplay with a microscope. We are all here for the same reasons, to see the Cubs go all the way.

and you should still face many questions as to why you started him in the first place

And walked
3rd free pass tonight for Ortiz – 30 on the young year, now.

Was Pudge calling for time?
Or just losing his balance?

he was expecting a ball to get past him, and trying to get a jump on chasing it down

Robodome is ok?
baseball is a game of outs......pop out, ground out, line out, pitch out, strike out, fly out, and Fox and Bud's favorite black out
I'm cool with it
Don’t have a channel to ask him, tho…

So I have to leave a board because
sue369 thinks I shouldnt say Fuku? Nah, I think i’ll stay.
So what?
I’m sure bradley doesn’t like when fans boo him, but many of you do anyway!
These are obviously not the same thing*
He has a foreign name that can be turned into a derogatory term easily. He said he preferred Dome to Fuku (duh).
*Who are these people booing Bradley that you are talking about? And how are they relevant to respecting a player’s wishes about something so “silly” as his NAME?!
Believe or Leave ~Cubswynn 9/9/2008
He asked not
to be called that. I am just repecting his wishes. Expect to be called out then if you continue using that name you call him.
he is a lost cause sue
sad, but true
baseball is a game of outs......pop out, ground out, line out, pitch out, strike out, fly out, and Fox and Bud's favorite black out
can you sit there with a straight face (or hand)...
and tell us honestly that the word “Fuck” is not in the slightest way any part of the reason you like calling him “Fuku” here?
Lou Brown: "My kinda team, Charlie, my kinda team..."
Two on, no outs, LETS GET SOME RUNS!!
I'm a truth teller, I'm a risk taker, I'm like Johnny Cash - I walk the line...
the way Pudge moves around back there, I am surprised any pitcher
can put it over the plate. He has ants in his pants
"If it's obvious, it's obviously wrong." - a well known stock market guru
We are going to light this Ortiz guy up!!
why didn’t Lou rest all his starters today instead of Tuesday. Our back-ups would even score 8 runs against him.
We're born again, there's new grass on the field. -John Fogerty
If we don't get a run here
I’m running around the block in my boxers!
Please Cubs, get some runs here!

It didn't happen without pictures.

Ortiz now has 45 pitches already.

Were they the ones
Walking in late?

I thought George Washington is dead?

Nope

Hoff
There’s a nice picture of EA waiting for you if you drive in some runs…
Believe or Leave ~Cubswynn 9/9/2008
Not interested, apparently.

theriot, fuku, and ramirez on base
Melvin Fired
Just put up a fan shot

you must wonder how that situation wouldve changed
had Manny been caught in ST, then Melvin wouldnt have had to face him this year…possibly leaving the door open for more wins

i actually think he does a decent job. They are not as talented as the Dodger though

Do something, just a damn sac fly would be an improvement

Oh, look!
The ump called a ball with Bradley up. ’Course, it damn near hit him…

56 pitches for Ortiz.

Sweet
My neighbors are spared my pastey legs
had there been pics for proof
we are all spared
baseball is a game of outs......pop out, ground out, line out, pitch out, strike out, fly out, and Fox and Bud's favorite black out
at least it would have been a pair of boxers, and not speedos
that would have been real ugly

MB with the RBI
