Turn around

Look at what you see

In her face

The mirror of your dream

Make believe I'm everywhere

I'm hidden in the lines

And written on the pages

Is the answer to a neverending story

 

Reach the stars

Fly a fantasy

Dream a dream

And what you see will be

Rhymes that keep their secrets

Will unfold behind the clouds

And there upon the rainbow

Is the answer to a neverending story, story

 

Show no fear

For she may fade away

In your hands

The birth of a new day

 

Rhymes that keep their secrets

Will unfold behind the clouds

And there upon the rainbow

Is the answer to a neverending story

THE NEVERNDING STORRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

 

Man, I'm so freakin' lame.

 

I have that song on 7" vinyl.

 

That's lame.

[Andy]

appropriate or not, Kajagoogoo and solo acts that sprung from Kajagoogoo should never be reverenced ever again anywhere.

I remember going to a game in the early 90's that went into the 14th inning, and Harry went out between half innings and sang the 7th inning stretch again. We needed something like that three innings ago.

I was at a game at Wrigley that went past 14 innings with a double dip 7th inning stretch.

 

It was against the Reds, Andre Dawson set a record for most intentional walks in a game, the Cubs lost.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Izturis flied out to center field

[da bears]

AHHHHHHH someone just hit a home run, Cubs!

[coldsteel]

i think they have done the 14th inning stretch at wrigley for quite a long time -- not sure when they started.

[OleMissCub]

played an 18 inning game once in college and went 0-8...it was lovely. I think it brought my average down 22 points or something.

 

Ha, you suck! I never went 0-8 in college.

 

yes, but you were no doubt 0-8 with females in college. :-)

 

thanks to the all the clete chasing whores, i never went 0-8 in that regards :D

[circlechange]

This is the longest game thread since the 6/2 extra-inning affair in St. Louis. That was 70 pages (premium) though.

And that one only went 14! We need to catch up.

[fiver]

speak of the devil, i believe that game was against South Alabama, Juan Pierre's alma mater.

 

Do you recall if that game was in Mobile? I remember going to the latter half of a really, really long game at Stanky Field a few years back. The lights were on...we were drunk.....

[coldsteel]

isturis did not bat in a run with his glove -- BWAHAHAHAH

[da bears]

Marmol has had some of the best swings tonight in extras for the Cubs.

[jjgman21]

I hope we get to see Dempster bat.

 

Tee-hee.

 

Mateo in his spot and then on to Hill?

 

I meant Marmol

I wish I was 0-8 when I look back at some of those skanks.

[Flames24Rulz]

Plz let this be the game that never ends.

[Shavo]

Wow this is insane.

[Andy]

"Clocks". Very nice touch.

 

What was the last time a Cub reached base?

Also good: being in an indie rock band.

[Sammy Sofa]

The Cubs are never going to get on base again ever.

Neifi got to second base with Dusty in the dugout a few minutes ago, IIRC.

Izzy in the 12th I think. Zambrano hit into a DP right after.

 

Edit: after reading that back, I am going to pretend that this is a different game thread and Dusty finally found out where to bat Izturis
