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.
That inning
guaranteed our big boys will get at least one more at bat.
Got my Bushmills

That's a terrible stat, Bob
If Choo is 11-11 in SB attempts this year, he should be trying for more.
"Who ever heard of the Cubs losing a game they had to have?" -Frank Chance
"If [Ruth] had [called his shot], I would have knocked him down with the next pitch." -Charlie Root
Maybe he's 11 - 11
cuz he picks good times to go
That's the thing
100% SB efficiency is achieved by guys who don’t steal bases. Base-stealers get thrown out about 20% of the time, good base-stealers get thrown out about 10% of the time, but they do get thrown out.
Choo is not a base-stealer, Bob.

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.
Question,
Is there anyone left in our bullpen? If not, who exactly can we send out to pitch?

He’s not great (or even very good at this point) but he’s pitched alright when given a chance. However I’ve been ready to give up on the Patton experiment at least a month ago.

Also
Blanco made a GREAT read on that Miles flare. I also loved that he slid home. The guy isn’t the greatest batter, but he is so happy to be playing at the show.

Or lose 20 pounds.
No wait that was Kerry, supposedly.
BTW, I was watching Chicago Tribune Live last night. Kaplan said that not only can get confirm Kerry was the one that smashed Sammy’s boombox, he also guaranteed that a number of players pissed in his locker. WOW!
"Pounding sand since 1982...."
Think he's given up on this one
Nothing went right on Thursday or Friday, except making the cut. He’s phoning it in.

Rick Ankiel
starts off the 3rd with a single, but advances to second on a fielding error by Jose Guillen.
Aqui viene el Toro Venezolano, Carlos Zambrano, a batear...el lanzamiento...A LO PROFUNDOOO...NOO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NOO...DIGALE QUE NO A ESA PELOTA!! GANAN LOS CACHORROS DE CHICAGO!!
Khalil Green
flies out to right, but then Brendan Ryan singles to score Ankiel.
Cardinals lead 1-0.

Khalil green sucks.
That’s why I threw back his homerun back earlier this year! I thought that game was going to be the best i saw all year because of the Aram walkoff. Thursday beat that.
"Pounding sand since 1982...."
What about that A-Ram walkoff
against the Sox…last year or two years ago?
That one was sweeter, cuz Hawk was calling the game. :D

No doubt, but I'm talking about games I was there for.
Side note: my gf (the sox fan) was at the Aram walk off last year and this year’s walk off on Thursday. She swears she’s never coming back for another cross town classic.
"Pounding sand since 1982...."
I was at the game after the Aram walkoff last year.
My only Crosstown Classic game, and it was a wild one!

BIG-TIME Typo there!
I prefer to call that Crosstown Classic last year “The Jim Edmonds Game.” He hit two home runs in a nine-run Cub fourth inning.

For me The Jim Edmonds Game last year
was when he tied up the throwback game against the Braves in the 9th with a homer. Reed took a bases loaded HBP to drive in the winning run. then again, I was at that game haha.

I didn't see much in the way of fan moments at my game.
Except for one time in the eighth inning, there appeared to be a fight within a few sections of my seat. I was surrounded by Cubs fans, so nothing came my way.
At least not like the Cubs-Cardinals game I went to in 2006, anyway.

Oh, sorry.
But wow. Your gf is a talisman.
You should kidnap her to the next crosstown classic. :D
Anyway, Mark Teahen triples to lead off the bottom of the third.

Pat says that

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.
