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'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.

Pretty good Bullpen management today..

Only Heilman wouldn’t be available tomorrow, and Patton threw a bunch of pitches yesterday so wasn’t really available today..

I'm sorry

aren’t we the Cubs? I hear Lou can’t manage pitchers.

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.

Except, our Loogy is also our long guy(marshgall)

So if this goes longer, we’ll have to rely on Patton to pitch 3-4 innings.

on Dome

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.

"Do you want a bunch of duds walking around with their shoulders slumped and having no emotions, no feelings?" Bradley said. "I don’t think the fans want that. I think they want a guy who’s going to get into the game and feel a little bit. I’ve always said, ‘I don’t really play baseball, I feel it.’ "

heh

let them blow their load here.

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.
