I noticed Lilly has a few errors this season.
Do you think he just wants to give the other time a chance? Or do you think he’s lulling them in to a false sense of security?

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.
Blanco ok.
strike three. Two outs.

Appears that we are winning. Good. I can watch Dwight dominate the Lakers tonight then Rescue Me without worrying about our Cubbies.

I really hope that Sarah girl from mouthpiece gets some good Lilly comments
She should bring up the Ted Lilly Fan Club, our Lillyisms and whether or not he could take Chuck Norris in a fight… I’m really curious what his thoughts are.
Chuck Norris vs. ted lilly is not a fight
its a slaughter

You're right, my bad.
Interestingly enough, Scott Altmann who commanded that mission is from the town I currently reside in… Pekin, IL. It’s this town’s claim to fame… aside from the high school football team the “Chinks.” no joke. Well, technically, they’re the Dragon’s now… but still…
We all know Ted could do that
between innings.

perhaps...
tough call, but one cannot release the hound known as Ted Lilly and expect to call it back.
Drive, Monkey Drive!
I'm not concerned...
Obama has shown a propensity toward black ops missions thus far so I think we’ll be good
