[IWU_CUBS_FAN]

len just said the cubs had some clutch hits today...i didn't know that cubs and clutch were allowed in the same sentence without a aren't in the middle..

[Fred Hornkohl]

Pierre flied out to right field, Murton to third, Hairston holding first

[cheapseats]

Pierre just showed the extent of his power.

[Master Shake]

Hawk is silent :lol:

 

I say we all chip in and buy him a mouthful of concrete.

[soccer10k]

If anyone else had hit that ball, the though of a home run would have crossed my mind. But I knew it was Pierre so I knew it was going to be a harmless fly out.

 

Let's go Ronny. Give us some insurance.

[cheapseats]

Will Dusty get his extension today?

[Master Shake]

WOO HOO RONNY!

[Monco]

Will Dusty get his extension today?

tomorrow

[cubweiser03]

Hawk whispers...and theres a base hit.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Cedeno singled to right field, Murton scored, Hairston to second

[da bears]

They're using all their clutch hits up today. Well at least they'll hopefully avoid the sweep, which is clearly making Hawk very bitter.

[soccer10k]

Nice hitting Ronny.

[CubfaninCA]

CUBS are 17-1 when they lead after 8 innings

 

 

Go CUBS !!

 

i may have missed it. what's the cubs record when they hit 3 home runs?

[Fred Hornkohl]

That's the CUBS first 9th inning run since Fri 12 May in a 5-10 loss to San Diego.

 

Go CUBS !!

[cheapseats]

I can't think of the last time Dempster gave up 3 runs. Go ahead and call this a win.

[ToupeeOnFire]

Didn't Hawk challenge Mariotti to a fight one time.

 

Between that and his "Pierzynski hit Barrett harder" quip, Hawk is not a very secure individual.

 

My favorite Hawk moments are when the White Sox are losing and he can't even be bothered to call the game. You can just hear him sulk through all the dead air. With the White Sox winning it all, I'm sure he's much happier these days, but probably more insufferable than ever (I make it a practice to avoid listening to him).

 

BTW, for all of those clamoring for Steve Stone to become GM. Hawk Harrelson is a grade A example of why hiring your announcer to the front office might not be a great idea. This is the genius who decided to move his future Hall of Fame catcher to the outfield. His 1 year general manager stint was an unmitigated disaster.

[cubweiser03]

Beating the Sox is good. Beating them with Hawk doing the play by play rules. IF they win, this will carry me through this day.

 

CUBS!

Hawk sounds so dejected. I love it.

[IWU_CUBS_FAN]

Hawk: (Whispering)"Walker's the guy who hit that perfect double play ball..."

 

 

then he went silent for what seemed like the rest of the inning....o hawk you big idiot

Don't forget the George Bell trade

That was flat out ridigoddamndiculous. He's like a momma protecting her kids. SO sad.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Pierzynski singled to right field

[cheapseats]

Do you think Ozzie will call for a sac bunt here? How about a hit and run?
