5/30: Fish (Mitre) at Cubs (Lilly), 7:05 pm CT, WGN

[Guest]

SCREW this team. i'm going to play wiffleball in wicker park. anyone care to join?

 

Malibu and Chicago? You go to school in Malibu?

 

I live in chicago currently. I went to UCSB. Parents have property in both states and fly back and forth.

 

Gotcha, thought you went to Pepperdine. I'm an LA kid (was born in Chicagoland).

 

awesome. i might move to the wilshire area of LA. do you know anything about it?

 

Sorry, I stepped away for a while.

 

If you're on Wilshire Blvd. itself, it's expensive as hell but Wilshire is full of great neighborhoods except maybe the area immediately west of Downtown LA and east of Koreatown. Wilshire's really long, what part? I'm going to guess around Midtown or Century City/Westwood, those are some of the most expensive but nicest areas.

I smell a fake rally coming!!!!

Man, how disappointing that Sergio had to leave the game. :(

 

Hopefully Pinto comes in soon and dominates too.

Kasper and Brenly have spent all of 2005, and 2006 saying "This team has yet to play their best baseball" and it continues. Have they realized, they just won't???

 

They're just trying to keep their ratings up. Anytime they stop saying that would be fine with me.

 

I hate Len and Bob.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Lee struck out swinging

[Guest]

Way to take a few pitches, Derrek.

[Irrelevant Dude]

I smell a fake rally coming!!!!

It's obviously way too early in the game for that. Stay tuned for the 8th or 9th inning.

[YearofDaCubs]

Wow, Mitre had 7ks in 4 innings? Just wow.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Floyd grounded an IF single to second base

I hate Chip. I have been watching the Braves lately, and he says some of the dumbest stuff I have ever heard.

[Guest]

Ramirez is getting rightly upset with himself now.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Ramirez popped out to shortstop

[JeffH]

Cliff Floyd beat out an infield hit. Lordy, I never thought I'd live to see that.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 0-4 (5 runs scored) in games without an extra base hit

 

 

Go CUBS !!!

[Irrelevant Dude]

Cliff Floyd beat out an infield hit. Lordy, I never thought I'd live to see that.

On top of that, he didn't even pull anything!

[Omar]

How many LOB so far?

[JeffH]

Cliff Floyd beat out an infield hit. Lordy, I never thought I'd live to see that.

He'll do that after the game in the shower with some of his "special" teammates.

That must have been my feet I smelled - can't even get a good fake rally going with the middle of our order.

Bob, maybe. But why Len?

 

He's certainly oodles better than Chip.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 0-7 when they trail by 4 runs or more at the end of 6 innings.

 

Go CUBS !!

[Fred Hornkohl]

Boone singled to left field

[Monco]

Even the fan cam sucked tonight!
