all I'll say is I am a lot more anxious about tonight's game than this one.
…but I would never boo you Sue, true! :-)

I was just kidding :D.
I feel about this game as I did about the Iowa game yesterday. That turned out well so I’m hoping tonights does too.

Dear Bears/Packers fans:
“Vikings take home a 34-20 victory. Adrian Peterson leads the way with 180 rushing yards and 3 TDs.”
2009 MVP:
Yeah?
The Vikings still suck; it’s a law of nature.

For what?
What can I say, I’m a Packers fan. It felt like betrayal when Favre un-retired again.

I don't flag--not even Clutche during the worst of his days.
Now, if I were to police the threads, you all would be flagged and cut:
I only flag if a person is acting very rudely.
Meaning BLou, aramis/sackings108, BLou, circles, BLou…

his BA w/RISP has got to be a mess. he doesn't even make contact most of the time.
I like the guy but he is a head case when hits matter. He has taken over for Sosa as a “Mr Irrelevant” hitter.

I just noticed it's 4 o'clock
I’ve wasted the entire day…
The very-very last King of the Hill ever is on tonight. Then the season finales of Hung and Entourage…
I don't watch
any of those shows. I will have NBC ontonight tho. ;-)

not last Entourage, just a new show
"Truth hurts. Maybe not as much as jumping on a bicycle with the seat missing, but it hurts." - Leslie Nielson
I thought it was season finales for both shows.
Entourage has jumped the shark pretty badly. I watch it out of self-loath, much like yesterday’s Cubs game.
Blanco just showed how he is not theriot on that bare-handed play

Lee Smith
Could be my low expectations, but he handled the song pretty well. Good idea to go for the minimal singing and let the crowd carry the tune. Somebody advise Butkis to do the same.

Things I like about the Cubs.......
DLee-a class guy
ARam-clutch hitter when healthy
Fox-of course!
Fuld-Plays the game right
Blanco’s fielding
Hill-a good backup catcher who’s been through a lot.
Lilly-Our best pitcher
Wells-A nice season, should have more wins, but team let him down.
Harden when he’s on.
I like Hoff-but understand he’s had some issues.
That’s about it. Most of the rest of the team are bunch of overpaid lazy babies. Lou and Hendry suck too.
Is Fox finally playing today?

Blanco has good wood today...
he serves it up..
Some people say the glass is half empty, some say half full. I say, are you going to drink that?
Blanco has raised his average to .250 today
Lou said before the game that if Blanco could just hit .240 or .250, his glove would make him valuable enough to get more playing time. Blanco taking action?

i find it odd that how in this game that miles didnt PH in this game when the cubs didnt need runs at the time
but PH yesterday with the game tied
people who swing at the first pitch should get punched in the face
wasn't it a lefty-righty matchup thing?
I think Miles was the only righty left off of the bench yesterday.

well I disagree with BB.
one outfielder has to go deep and one has to be “inside” if they both go to the wall they will collide at full speed—not good.
