I DO NOT LOOK LIKE THIS: Also, I seriously had a conversation about Cookie Monster being the best monster last night, so there’s no way I’d be employing goons/friends who would ever attack him. On the other hand, I totally would say this: TheCubsFan: did i just hear you besmirch the great name of mike [...]
96: Cubs 1 – Astros 2 POTG: SP Ted Lilly (7 IP, 6 H, ER, 2 BB, 6 K) Lilly pitched good enough to win it, but the bats did nothing and Howry had nothing. It’s a home run park, but the only home run Lilly gave up would’ve been one anywhere; this was a [...]
Yea, I’m not doing 22 entires. Wanting to talk about a game, not being able to talk about beacuse there are a dozen entries left to go, and forgetting about what you wanted to say when it finally comes up is awful lame. So I’m going to go lightning round on these, and start fresh [...]
(that’s today’s game, I know it’s hard to tell) From the time I got home until about the time I normally leave for the park, it rained and occasioanlly rained very hard. I don’t live that far from the park, and saw the “groudns crew” untrap and set up the field last time out. It [...]
That sure didn’t take long! This was in the works for a while, but things actually got more intense after CC went to the Brewers. As and Cubs seems to have a very good relationship for these kind of things (see: last year’s Jason Kendall trade), so that it happened isn’t a big surprise. No [...]
This was among the shortest broadcasts ever – it seemed no more than a 30 minute show between start (after the delay) till cancellation (oddly right during an interview.) They seemed so sure they were going to play until the end, it was sad to watch even while knowing what was going to happen. If [...]
POTG: SP Ted Lilly (6 IP, H, BB, 6 K, 0 R, QS) Runner Up: LF Reed Johnson (2 H, 2 R, 2B), DH D Lee (2 H, 3 RBI, BB), CF Jim Edmonds (2 H, RBI), 1B Hoff Power (2 H, 2B, R) You know, you can actually walk a lot of people and [...]
POTG: LF Reed Johnson (HR, 3RBI) Runner Up: SP Jason Marquis (7 IP, 4 H, R, 2 BB, 1 K), 1B D Lee (3 H, 2R, 3B, BB), CF Jim Edmonds (2 H, RBI) There are things you expect to happen in life. Jason Marquis out dueling Roy Halladay is not one of them. To [...]
Cubs 43-25 Blue Jays 35-34 POTG: RF Fukudome (2 H, 2 R, BB) Runner Up: 3B A Ram (2 H), CF Edmonds (2B, 2H, RBI), RP Michael Wuertz (1.2, 3H, 0 R, one stranded) The thing about getting One More Starter is the other guys don’t really impress me. If you’re going to give up [...]
Braves 32-35 Cubs 43-24 POTG: CF Jim Edmonds (HR, SF, R, 2 RBI) Runner Up: 3B A Ram (H, 2 BB, 2 R), C Soto (3 H), SP Z!!! (7 IP, 8H, 2R, 3BB, 3K, QS; H), RP Wood (2 IP, H, BB, 4 K, W) I had this post written up, and I don’t [...]
