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

[Butterscup1679666578]

This is awesome.

[Iceblink]

Pretty harmless HBP. Get on with the game now. Would be lame if one of our guys gets kicked out for a retaliation.

[Andy]

Been a while since we had a good beanball war.

 

GREAT SLIDE THERIOT!

[cheapseats]

Theriot steals 2nd!

[Fred Hornkohl]

Theriot stole second base

[UMFan83]

Unbelievable, obviously the umps don't give star pitchers preferential treatment.

[Iceblink]

Theriot would've stolen that base more cleanly if he'd had another year in AAA.

[CuseCubFan69]

Safe....I don't know about that!

[Chris]

Thanks for the RISP rocket

[minnesotacubsfan]

he was out...make up call for Rogah

[ToupeeOnFire]

I'd bring in Novoa or Aardsma to bean Berkman. Edited August 16, 2006 by ToupeeOnFire

Is it wrong to love this game so far! I hope we win this game and sweep the series.

nope. this is good clean fun

 

:P

[cheapseats]

I'd bring in Novoa or Aardsman in to bean Berkman.

 

Yep. I would definitely retaliate. The Cubs have absolutely nothing to lose. Novoa is not good anyway, so it would be fun to make him useful.

[CuseCubFan69]

If Pierre charges the mound would he punch or slap Clemens?

[da bears]

Ugh. I wanted Theriot to score. Oh well. Come on bullpen.

[Guancous]

This has been a much better game than I expected from the pitching match-up. Rookies are killing Clemens this year.

[RonnieWooWooSanto]

Roger actually looked old and dejected walking off the mound there.

[Chris]

The way the fans are cheering it's like they're not aware of the score

[Andy]

Someone fire one at someone just for comedy's sake.

[da bears]

If Pierre charges the mound would he punch or slap Clemens?

Yep, just keep it away from the heads.

The Riot should be in the Neifi role next year :( To bad he'll be gone when Bynum is back.
