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?

Ted Lilly is so good at baseball

he hits himself into scoring position.

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.

we will this year.

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.

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.

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…
