7/16 Cubs (Marshall) vs Mets (El Duque) 5 pm ESPN

[Monco]

A really loud and CLEAR "Fire Dusty" chant would be absolutely fabulous. I'd love to see Hendry's obstinate reaction.

My money would be on Hendry answering the chant by saying "I'm on my own timetable."

The best thing would be for everyone to get up and leave. All 40,000

[Fred Hornkohl]

Nady walked , Floyd to second

[DiamondMind]

Booing is fine, trashing the field is classless. You can get your frustration across by booing, no need to also make yourself look like an idiot and throw trash on the field.

 

Yes but being on national TV, maybe Hendry will be shamed into holding some accountability for the team. I'm actually for the crowd to throw REAL feces on the field.

 

If I was at the game I'd throw everything in my pockets onto the field, bunch of talentless losers

[YearofDaCubs]

BOOBIRDS! I love it!

[Irrelevant Dude]

Time to bring in Doug Dascenzo to pitch yet?

[Blueheart05]

Well, if this doesn't get Theirot (more like Perez) a few starts at 2B I don't know what will...

I don't think we will see Walker at 2B again IMO.

 

I'm fine with that. I've never liked his defense.

[Drew Doughty]

this is just awesome.

 

most popular game-day thread in some time.

[oldstyle81]

can anyone remember a longer inning that this?

[da bears]

Good thing there'll be another 40,000 at the next home game.

[Hatman]

HAHAHHAHAHA WAY TO GO NOVOA! Dusty Baker, the greatest and most underrated manager eva!!!

 

Novoa should have been out of the inning on a ground ball DP.

Will anything be said to Aram about going home instead of 2nd?

oh yeah cause todd would have made the play. :P

 

I'd love to be a fly on the wall of the dugout when (if) this innings ends...

Are you expecting Dusty to hold someone accountable?

 

Now THAT would be unique. I was actually leaning toward seeing if there is an subtle (or not so subtle) finger pointing.

Oh-Man is determined to walk the park.

[UBlink]

Maybe Hebdry will try to get some guys who can "catch the ball" this off-season.

[YearofDaCubs]

The biggest inning in Mets history! Thank you 2006 Chicago Cubs.

[badger1679666666]

I personally feel bad for Todd, but hopefully for his sake he'll go somewhere with a chance to win since he deserves it, and Neifi will play and we'll suck even more and then dusty will get fired, and the new manager will make neifi the water boy.

[RonnieWooWooSanto]

What is this, like 40-45 minute inning now?

 

The amazing thing is that the Cubs actually got the first hitter of the inning to make an out.

[ToupeeOnFire]

Derisive cheer!

[Outshined_One]

Mock standing ovations are awesome.

[Bruno7481]

Any chance of Dusty getting canned, or submitting his resignation tomorrow? It can't get any more embarassing than this.

[da bears]

Ahhahahahaha that was the biggest explosion heard at Wrigley all year! Followed with very angry booing!

[YearofDaCubs]

HAHAHAHAHA, this is classic! I should have recorded this game.

[Monco]

LOL A standing ovation!

[Crash]

That was some of the best fan reaction I have ever heard.

[RonnieWooWooSanto]

I knew the Cubs would turn back into a pumpkin, but I really thought it might wait until their next game.

[Shilzzz]

what was that short ruckus about in the stands? it looked like something was in the air... that would have been funny if someone flew a plane with a sign saying something about someone getting fired. :lol:
