I have given up my chicken stir fry

This inning and the 9th with Gregg have given me a bad tummy ache.

Yeah

The person I called was Chinese, and she didn’t know what Chun Liu chicken was.

yeah.

it’s like brown spicy gravy soup with small shrimp, peppers and onions. It would actually be okay but there is WAY too much gravy, and a lot of sodium in the gravy = too much.

I wish Andy White could learn to hit. I LOVE seeing him play 2nd base.

Okay

I’d like at least 1 more run.

At least one, preferably 2-3.

But any number of Cubs runs is fine with me.

Hill

infield hit!

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.

Yes they do

a few team announcers are good to listen to like Atlanta and a few others. But most of the NL Central announcers are just blatent homers that think every play and call that goes against them should be protested.

Hill over to second. Blanco stopped in his tracks. Weird.
