"At least they're not fighting out there anymore" - Len Kasper referring to couple of girls that were lightsaber fighting earlier, but it goes for the Cubs too.

 

ha ha

 

Good time for Eddie to go to the crowd: "Buy me some peanuts and crack"

[Banedon]

Whoo HOo!!!

 

Dusty! Yeah, show some fire!

 

The camera did catch him weakly tossing a ball to the ground in the dugout. That was his idea of FIRE! and INTENSITY!

 

Lol...saw that! That'll get his team goin'!

 

Actually I don't even think that was a ball, I think it was his toothpick! ROFL

Ron Santo has gotten pretty quiet

I caught that and laughed because that's how I always sing it.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Ramirez flied out to deep right center field

[Monco]

1 pitch 1 out

[oldstyle81]

Odds of us hitting 3 three-run homers to win the game?

 

there is not a chance

[Soul]

Vedder "10 runs we can do it!"

 

Even he is mocking us! HAHA

 

He was being extraordinarily gracious :)

 

I'm sure he wanted to say "I thought Seattle was bad!!"

[Fred Hornkohl]

Jones grounded out to second, 4-3

[Monco]

3 pitches 2 outs

[mul21]

Well, when the bullpen is this overused in a stretch like this, I guess you can't expect a whole lot different results. Has there been more than 2 games in this stretch where the starter has gone 7 full innings?

Ramirez flied out to deep right center field

He flied out during the commercial. Go figure.

Jones grounded out to second, 4-3

 

He's heating up, let's give him an extension!

[CubmanPi]

Being in Atlanta last year for games 5 thru 8 of a losing streak and effectively sealing the deal on another season of wasted potential now seems to carry only a fraction of the craptacular sense of loathing I feel toward this season now. I can't watch.

Woody's a PJ fan? Makes me like him more.

[Chris]

With the statement of "10 runs", even Eddie realizes we're giving up at least 1 more run before this one is over.

[abuck1220]

i've never been so mad at the cubs for swinging so quickly. let eddie talk!

But the bullpen really hasn't been overused. If you look at the bullpen workloads on the first or second page of the thread, you'll see that they should be fine.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

This just in----season's over.

Len: Your album is self-titled?

 

Eddie: We titled it, yes

 

HA HA HA HA

Baker has been the worst thing to EVER happen to the Cubs. This club had all the potential and players and Baker's management has been awful.

 

He's screwed up Prior and Woody's arms, Screwed up Patterson, screwed up the fundamentals, not shown players consequences for being fundamentally poor, brought an awful hitting philosophy to the team, not known how to manage pitchers worth a lick, not known how to make a reasonable lineup ever. And all of this during our most promising time in many many years.

 

Am I missing anything.

 

I'd have to say they were fundamentally poor and had an awful hitting philosophy as a team before Dusty came. He definitely didn't help. Dusty and his coaching staff aren't the only problems with this team (and I'm not talking about the players here).

[larhur]

What was that, Jock strap with his third first pitch swing and his third ground out, and the Cubs third or fourth less than 10 pitch inning
