[bhogg]

That Fan Cam operator is a master boobologist.

[killthegoat06]

I'm disappointed with Lilly, but MAN is our offense hot. Koyie Hill is starting to impress.

[jjgman21]

nice to know that strikezone is available when our righties come into the game....yeah....riiiiiiighhhht.

[Andy]

The one in the white strappy shirt in the bleachers by herself looked like she could use some Andy.

 

Big lead. :) Keep it up Cubbies.

So, what are the odds we blow this lead in the ninth again.... 8-[

less than you would think...eyre and howry are NOT available tonight

 

i'd like to see a big enough lead you can get the kid in and not use any important relievers...if lilly gives you like 7 or 8 ::knock on wood::

 

Nevermind...i didn't know Lilly's pitch count....forget that gonna need the pen...here's hopin Z continues his streak tomorrow

4-2 Houston over the Brewers as they go to the bottom of the 6th.

Petrick might get a shot tonight.

[E.J.]

That was a funny cross-up. :lol:

I'll be happy if he makes it thru the 6th with his pitch count. I'll go out on a limb and say that the bullpen won't have a repeat performance.

Spillborghs grounded out to third, 5-3

Maybe we'll start winning at the levels our pythags have indicated we should have all year.

I hope so. I can't wait to see him pitch. I've heard so much about it and haven't seen him pitch yet. I'm excited.

Only because Hill didn't break his wrist... :x

[Prior4CyYoung]

some real slow curve balls there.

yea, but i was hoping that Lilly could go 7 or 8, so nobody else would be needed, but nevermind hes at 93 pitches goin into the 6th

 

BTW did anyone else realize that crazy game in '01 with the girardi play was a night game against colorado...then that crazy stuff last night was a night game also against colorado...weird

[CubmanPi]

If the Cubs can cling to this lead for the rest of the game, then drawing out their pace over the last five games would have the Cubs finishing at 123-39.

[IWU_CUBS_FAN]

nice play, teddy

[Prior4CyYoung]

nice recovery by Lilly there.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Ianette grounded out to the pitcher, 1-3

[killthegoat06]

Can I have a recap as to why Zell banned Jones trade and why he has power? Is Jones still gonna be traded eventually?
