i know it's fun to pick on how horrible
the cubs system has been recently. and not so recently.
but with the production from wells, blanco, scales, hoffpauir, fox, etc…
maybe we are finally teaching our kids the basics.
hopefully the same with thomas, vitters, castro, carpenter, and a bunch more
Two RISP.
And an intentional walk to Blanco, apparently.
Ted Lilly will blow the ball all the way to Lake Michigan for a double Grand Slam.

No surprises here, folks.
Can’t wait for the eighth inning to roll around so everyone can remember how to drive in runners.
Pfft.
Theodore Roosevelt Lilly had compassion on that ball.
After the ball pleaded for its life…it would have been crushed otherwise.

AFTERNOON, CUBS FANS!
I'm a Cubs FANATIC. They are my team, through thick and thin. When they play over their heads, and when they play under the gutter. When they win the division, and then get swept in the division series. When they get no-hitters and when they blow no-hitters. And some day, when they go all the way and get those rings. This is the kind of fan I am.
Hey Drew!
How are you doing?

I was taken aback, it was a party I was at with a girlfriend and he was giving me attitude.
He had all these worshippers around him, I think that’s what he’s used to.

Yeah,
So I was at a party with a girlfriend that worked on his show. She wanted me to meet him. So we stood in line just to meet the guy. She introduces me to him and mentions that I like to golf. So I asked him if he likes to golf himself. And literally he he gives me this horrible attitude like “You could say that since I do host the Bob Hope tournament” A real sneering attitude.
Sorry dude if I don’t follow your every move you make. Just real uncomfortable after that.

Soriano is missing so many hittable
pitches. How is Ohka dominating us?
Noticed this about Soriano's swing
He doesn’t seem to be shifting his weight on his front (left) let. Is it the left knee that’s been hurt?
Yes.
Apparently, it hasn’t healed completely.

I wouldnt be surprised to see Fox pinch hit next time through. Fontenot looks just terrible at the plate.
Interesting. DLee knew that was gone the minute he hit it.
But Len thought it was playable.

Blanco drove in two runs yesterday, didn’t he? Or the day before?
I'm a Cubs FANATIC. They are my team, through thick and thin. When they play over their heads, and when they play under the gutter. When they win the division, and then get swept in the division series. When they get no-hitters and when they blow no-hitters. And some day, when they go all the way and get those rings. This is the kind of fan I am.

He's had good AB's before.
So, this isn’t too bad

Ascanio out to pitch for the Cubs

Please, bullpen, no walks today!
"He can't hit, he can't field, he can't run—all he can do is beat you."
Ascano, Guzman, Gregg
or do we role the dice with Marmol again?
I'd send Guzman
if he’s well. Otherwise, Marmol.

lilly willed that one over the wall
otherwise it’s a popout to second
Len's been doing this for a few years now...
How does he STILL not recognize a home run off the bat? Drives me nuts.
It's not too bad.
I feel like it’s better to do this than to call a homer when it’s just a flyout.
Basically, I don’t want him turning into Hawk. shivers

I think it's pretty awful.
Both Lee and Hoff’s HR’s were well into the bleachers, and he had no clue that they were going out.

Not to get off topic.
But has anyone noticed that we have some of the hottest fans in all of baseball?

No there's lots of reasons
They just come in pairs…

As does every true American male!

Is it me?
Or is COMEDIAN and actor a stretch for George Lopez? Never found him that funny.
"Don't give me any of that ole' bulls#!t." - Lou Brown
He's a comedian.
He has funny stand ups, actually.
Or at least I think they are. Being a Mexican-American and all.

well, most of his jokes are based on his ethnicity. So if you're not latino you might not get his jokes.
"It’s up to Miles to keep the Cubs alive"
Doesn't he have some feud with Carlos Mencia?
He claims Carlos stole his act or something…

He's not alone in feeling that
Mencia is…pretty unoriginal

Mencia and Dane Cook
are others that are just not funny.
