Go CUBS !!

[Fred Hornkohl]

Greetings one and all from beautiful Sayre, OK !!

 

Worthless stats of the day for Friday............

 

Go CUBS !!

 

I used to live in Oklahoma, and I know exactly where Fred is! In Sayre, just about anything would be wortheless on a Friday. :lol:

 

Meh. On the TV thing, if it isn't on WGN, the Atlanta site shows it's on Turner South. So if your cable system has WTBS, they might have the game. Except that you would have to listen to Chip...... :P :wink:

 

Is there any town that you just don't like in this country Fred?

 

Tony, you gotta realize the way us baby-boomer types were raised. "If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all." Old habits really do die hard !! Even though I may think this town or that is where they're gonna stick the hose when they give this country an enema, I'll still gonna tell you how beautiful it is !!! Besides, one of our NSBB members may live there. How would that look with me going around trashing some guy's home town ???

 

btw.... did I mention I was on my way to beautiful New Jersey !! The Garden State !! :wink:

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

We were only four months off in our prediciton of when Miller would be ready!

 

Whoopeee!

[soccer10k]

Perfect game from Wade Miller broken up in the 2nd. Cubs lose, 198-2.

 

He'll actually make it to the second inning with the perfect game? Wow.

[NorthsideAvenger]

Perfect game from Wade Miller broken up in the 2nd. Cubs lose, 198-2.

 

He'll actually make it to the second inning with the perfect game? Wow.

 

I doubt he'll even make through warm-ups with the perfect game, much less make it to the 2nd inning. 8)

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

From the Cubs' press notes:

 

Chicago is looking to snap a seven-game road losing streak, dating

back to August 25 at St. Louis

 

Following last night’s loss, the Cubs are looking for their first win at Turner Field since defeating the Braves 10-2 on April 11, 2004 … Chicago is 0-5 in its last four games in Atlanta, having been swept in a four-game set July 4-7 of last season.

welcome to the cubs Wade! There should be a sign about the Cubs' clubhouse: Abandon all hope all ye who enter here.

[RichHillIsABeast]

That was a scary inning from Miller. He'll be a lot better once his velo comes back.

[elinas]

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 44-41 when they don't allow any runs is the first inning.... 12-44 when they do

CUBS are 6-18 when the opponent triples.... 50-66 when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!
