Amen.
Thanks for the jump!

Amen.
Two really outstanding defensive plays by the Reds. Too bad
One day I hope to come up with something worthy of this space.
I feel the runners should have tagged on that play by Dome.
Koyie probably scores if Taveras misses that catch even if he started on the bag at 2nd…but who knows.
would have prevented the DP and scored a run...
Quia tuum es fatum titulis discidiis, vexillinis limbis nationalis,
gloriam seriis mundialisque, nunc et in saecula saeculorum...
Amen.
yeah but he hung on the wall for a bit when he caught it.
even with the great throw, i think that extra second or so shoulda given the guys enough time
But 'ya gotta force the issue a bit.
1 run isn’t going to do it tonight (cough, Marmol, cough, Gregg, cough, Heilman…)
Quia tuum es fatum titulis discidiis, vexillinis limbis nationalis,
gloriam seriis mundialisque, nunc et in saecula saeculorum...
Amen.
so that is what a SS with range looks like...
"If it's obvious, it's obviously wrong." - a well known stock market guru
that was a chance to break it open
hope Gorz keeps it up, but I doubt we win with one run. Should be able to get a few off Cueto
Mrs. chilango2 is supper pissed about something
I trust yuo guys can keep the lead intact. See ya.
One day I hope to come up with something worthy of this space.

lol are u kidding me?
Its not like it was a freaking hard play, he had plenty of time, their catcher was running, he threw that ball so high lebron with a running jump couldn;t get to it.
ok he made an error
atleast he did it in a spot where it wouldn’t hurt us with 2 outs and the pitcher spot up next.
yeah.
but it turns over the next inning ot the 1 spot instead of the 9.
I am not saying it hurt the team that bad, but I was just saying it was a terrible throw.
And Theriot...
DP… error.
Hell of a game, Ryan. Hell of a Game.
There is no such thing as an ugly female breast
I think the forearm IS injured
he lost the double-cluthc

not good by Johan
Cubs just need to keep winning though. We take care of our business we can get in as the wild card if necessary.
his fastball is sitting in the low 90s
and the changeup just looks junky.
"If you play more than two chords, you're showing off."--Woody Guthrie
On the bright side.
Gorz looks real good. 91 – 93 on the fastball. Around 84 on the slider w/ about 8" – 10" of break according to gameday pitch f/x
Important error by Theriot there
turns the lineup over, makes next inning much tougher.
OK. Game reset: Cubs up 1-0 after 5.
