And we've talked about EA enough

for her to be Cubs connected, definitely sports connected.

Now, I personally wouldn’t have posted it… but the fact that Worf did and CLEARLY marked it as off topic doesn’t really outrage me.

People posted about when she got hit in the chin by a ball. That was just as unrelated… no one lost their minds about that.

We’ve talked enough about Erin Andrews for her to be sorta connected to the Cubs.

Sure thing

1) Erin Andrews is a newsmaker here. The jokes about her and Micah, for one. Lou made comments about her attire and that caused a minor kerfluffle.

2) I found this to be a galling invasion of privacy, and actually, quite chilling that someone could set up shop outside a hotel room door like this. I wanted to talk to others about it and you guys are people I interact with every day.

by Worf on Jul 18, 2009 9:26 PM CDT up reply actions  

1) is a Fail.

Just because someone is relevant to BCB doesn’t mean anything/everything about them is relevant content to be posted here.

2) is debatable. I don’t agree with your logic here. Yes, it’s a galling invasion of privacy, and quite chilling, and despicable, disgusting and lots of other things. Still don’t see the relevance of discussing it here though.

Not much, actually.

He came in with the bases loaded and one out.

Heilman walked the bases loaded after getting an out on one pitch, but the inconsistent strike zone also made things worse than they were.

Cubs record since April 2004: 4-0

by Vermont Cubs Fan on Jul 18, 2009 9:16 PM CDT up reply actions  

well thats shocking

heilman made a mess of things? how unheard of.

by Allie on Jul 18, 2009 9:16 PM CDT up reply actions  

ya seriously.

But here is how the 8th went. Heilman in, one pitch one out. A walk to pinch hitter. a single by njyer morgn and error by milton allowed runner to get to third. so first n third one out. And walk to nick johsnon on 9 pitches – a lot were very close including ball 4. So with bases loaded one out and Ryan Zimmerman up with Adam Dunn on deck and only a 6-4 lead Lou went and got Gregg. Gregg got lucky cuz he threw a fastball right down the plate that was crushed deep to the warning track in right. Just missing a grand slam. But runner easily tagged to score 6-5. Morgan also tagged to 3rd. so two outs 6-5 morgan at 3rd and nick johnson at 1st. Adam dunn walked to load bases up again. this time bases loaded for Josh Willingahm and gregg was ahead 1-2 but count went to 3-2 and willingham fouled off two 3-2 pitches. and than gregg got him to chase good offspeed pitch that he hit weakly to Aramis right down the line that backed up Aramis. Aramis was too far away to simply tag 3rd since it was 3-2 count 2 outs and runners moving. his only chance was to throw quickly with his momentum taking him away from throw. so the throw was really long and he had to rush. he short hopped it big time. BUT D LEE MADE A HELL OF A SCOOP TO SAVE THE LEAD THE GAME AND EVENTUALLY THE WIN. A GREAT PLAY. AND WE ALL WENT NUTS. Sorry for the long post but hopefully re-created the tension and nerves and than the excitement. cuz heilman was nibbleman and gregg just missed giving up grand slam.

and Derrek Lee started and set up the 3 run home run by fonzi.

D-Lee started the inning with ground rule double on a bullet into left field. Let us not forget A-Ram’s bullet after that to get him on base and put two men on for fonzi and his crush job. Hopefully that bomb will get him going. Also to see him crush one with such authority to right center. That was no doubter to oppo. But he did miss a hanger right down the plate in his next at bat. Oh well lets get him hot going into Philly and he can pepper those Left Field bleachers.
