Bradley
pops out to Keppinger in foul territory. 0-5.
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.
Tough first day back...
only starter not to reach base…
3-1

Just say no to players named Aaron on the Cubs.

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.

It's not the same
since they’re not on CBS anymore. I have the “special” segment before the show itself starts tattooed on my heart from watching them so many times. We have them on DVD now.

Hooray for the Cubs
…and I hate to play wet blanket, but I just got done with work/dinner and noticed Milton Bradley’s line in the box score.
10 LOB? Really? That can’t happen much more if they expect to win games consistently.
Anyone know the record for LOB in one game?

they won
7-0. Milton didn’t help, but if he’s going to go 0-6 in a game, this is the game to do it.

This is true
It’s just unfortunate that he talked himself into the lineup and had THAT bad of a game at the plate.
Oh well.

Maybe they can hold it this time.
