Maybe this thread will be
our lucky one.
A lovely story:
One day, long, long ago, there lived a woman who didn't whine, nag or bitch. That would be me....
But that was a long time ago and it was just that one day.
The end
me one be here
If the Cubs still have a chance, no matter how small, it’s still Go Cubs, damn the math and pass the KoolAid.
Maybe they haven't made the jump yet

Al had more important things to do than post the 1st pitch thread.
I think he needed to wash his hair, well maybe not that.
I think Lou left Quade a note to bat the guys with highest OBP at the bottom of the order for old times sake.

I am an expert belly rubber
You can just ask the French Bulldog I spent 10 minutes with earlier today.
I will be around all week, but going to lots of rare movie screenings at the Egyptian.

After almost 1.5 innings, I have a good feeling about our chances...
If the Cubs still have a chance, no matter how small, it’s still Go Cubs, damn the math and pass the KoolAid.
It's just a feeling or do you have some insider knowledge?
Because I need this game to be over in one hour and 20 minutes flat.
Writing quality posts since 1931.
Gut feeling and a couple of quarts of KoolAid

Baker with a solid single to right, 1st & 2nd, two outs.
PBP on BCB, or watch the game and listen to Brennaman. Got to be a tough choice.

they despise the "big city" Cubs.
it is a simple inferiority complex

The Cubs getting too many hits, and the Reds fielding

well shoot
A lovely story:

But that was a long time ago and it was just that one day.
The end
Castro single, run scores, Coleman TOOTBLANs for the third out.
Mitigating factor – he got caught in a rundown to make sure the run crossed the plate.
Castro-O-Meter to .309 – Go Cubs!
by The Deputy Mayor of Rush Street on Aug 29, 2010 12:41 PM CDT reply actions
I blame Theriot
Baker’s gotta be under a lot of pressure trying to live up to the TOOTBLAN legacy Riot left behind…
Lou Brown: "My kinda team, Charlie, my kinda team..."

Now batting the even MORE clutch Soriano

and the first time Baker comes up with a RISP, he will make an unproductive out.
this is the way things have been for the Cubs all year.

I feel sorry for Mallorca

Don't. They got a good squad.
They got booted from Europa League because the administration is in receivership. The team is solid throughout and they got Michael Laudrup coaching now.

mist - this could turn all ugly
