08/15 CUBS (Mateo) @ Houston (Clemens): THE BIG MURT!!!!!!!!

[ToupeeOnFire]

To the 18th we go!

 

Come on Cubs, win this. It's way past Neifi's bed time.

[OleMissCub]

No he still only went 0-8 but with a sacrifice

 

VERY good!

[Andy]

Although as tired and demoralized as I was, I don't think Eva Longoria and Elisha Cuthbert combined could have convinced me to hook up.

Either one of those two alone could rouse me out of any funk.

It's OK. Dusty rocked him to sleep on his lap. It's unspeakably adorable.

[Jazz]

i have my first day of school tommorow, but i am not missing the end of this game.

I don't ask for much, how about just a couple good ABs early in the inning here and see what happens.

[forbez18]

I predict 21 innings!!!

[SouthSideRyan]

I wonder how many games in baseball history have had all 25 men get in the game.

[texascub]

This is our chance!! Edited August 16, 2006 by texascub

[Andy]

Aramis!

[da bears]

Alright good start. Come on Cubs.

[Butterscup1679666578]

Fun fact: at Wrigley, even if the game goes into the 16th inning and there are only about 1000 people in the entire park, the ushers will not let fans move any closer than the 100-level seats.

 

Sections 1-36 are guarded like Fort Knox.

 

A few years ago some old lady let me and my two friends sit 3 rows behind the dugout. It was a sweet upgrade from our Upper Deck seats.

[cheapseats]

I'm surprised Aramis didn't try to leg out a triple.

[Butterscup1679666578]

BASE RUNNER!

[Sammy Sofa]

BUENO!!!

[Jazz]

I'm surprised Aramis didn't try to leg out a triple.

 

are you really?

[ToupeeOnFire]

Aramadouble!

 

Neifi's excited!

[Fred Hornkohl]

Ramirez doubled to right center field

[jjgman21]

had the opportunity to do that three times earlier tonight and chose to try to pull the ball. about time, Aram.

[Sammy Sofa]

You can be my hero, Jacque.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Believe it or not..... that is the first double in the game for the CUBS !!

 

Go CUBS !!

[Brian]

Which player had the rally cap on? Aardsma?

[cheapseats]

FWIW, bunting the runner over to 3rd here would increase the chances of scoring a run this inning.

[E.J.]

This game is still going on??? :shock: :shock:
