Go CUBS !!

[Ding Dong Johnson]

I hope someone hits a line drive off that dumb tractor humper's elbow.

[thedaymen]

Thanks for the reminder to start Oswalt tonight in my yahoo league.

[macuser2]

CUBS are 16-34 when the temperature is 70 degrees or above

 

Well, since the high in Houston is expected to be 100 or so, it doesn't look good does it? Or does this matter since they could close the roof?

 

Or does anything matter about the Cubs? :cry:

 

 

 

 

 

Oh wait, the game is at Wrigley. Never mind. :oops:

 

It's time to start drinking anyway. :P

[A New Era]

My man Marmol is gonna kick azz tonite.

[Dirt Dog Sparly]

My man Marmol is gonna kick azz tonite. Then the Cubs will still find a way to lose.

 

Fixed it for you.

[soccer10k]

All I can hope for is a good pitching performance by Marmol.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Due the MLB black-out rules, I won't be able to watch this one. I guess it's just as well.

You should write a thank you letter to the MLB.

...... and if they were playing in Houston, and they did close the roof.... what would the temperature be ?

 

Bottoms up !! :wink:

If one wants to utilize MLBTV to watch a blacked out game, one could use a proxy server to mask their IP address and circumvent the blackout if they so desired.

 

I am merely presenting a fact in this post and am not advocating the use of the outlined process.

Dag nabbit....no Theriot again.

[otis89]

Just trade Walker already. He deserves more playing time than what he's got here.

[ToupeeOnFire]

Barrett batting second....what's gotten into Dusty?

 

Of course, we are still left with Perez, 2b. Can't be playing Theriot, he just got here.

Edited July 18, 2006 by ToupeeOnFire

[Mizzou]

I don't know why I bother looking at the lineups anymore. I know that I'm going to see something stupid like Nevin playing over Murton, or Neifi playing over anyone.

[Flames24Rulz]

No Theriot and no Murton. I can gurantee I'll pass on this one.

[RonnieWooWooSanto]

Barrett batting second....what's gotten into Dusty?

Dusty doesn't like 2b from LSU. Walker, Theriot and Fontenot down at Iowa are all from LSU.

[E.J.]

Gotta get Nevin and Neifi their at-bats. They're such important cogs in this team's future.

 

I hate the Cobs sometimes. :evil:

[Jim Ignatowski]

I just returned from 22 days of fishing in Alaska. I missed North Korea firing missiles, the start of another middle east war, another stock market downturn, etc.; thank goodness I didn't miss any Cubs victories--apparently (wished I could have seen the two grand slam game though).

 

Anyway, got my drinks handy and ready to watch the Cubbies make their stretch run for the Fecal League Championship.

[larhur]

you know he isn't going to play Theriot much, Dusty is hanging on to his job by his nails

[Fred Hornkohl]

Biggio popped out to to second base

[Fred Hornkohl]

Lamb flied out to right field
