Sounds like Ohman is the closer today.

 

That's no good.

[98navigator]

Daryle out to Belliard in shallow CF. Ohman coming in

[BCVM22]

Fasten those seatbelts.

[illiniguy]

Ack, they're going to make me sweat the 9th again.

 

Ohman up along with Howry --- hmmm, Lou not showing the total confidence.

You were sweating in a 7-2 win? The tying run never even made it to the plate.

[Omar]

Error, walk, infield hit, home run.

 

Cubs lose.

[Bote McBoteface]

They showed Ohman coming in. I guess with 2 lefties due up he's the closer for tonight...

 

 

ew.

[TruffleShuffle]

ohhh mannnn

[Soul]

Ack, Ohman coming in to face the lefties.

 

Gonna give me a nervous breakdown. Such a good opportunity tonight!

 

Must not blow lead. Must. Not. Blow. Lead.

[Illini Iceman]

Hill now batting .163.

 

I never thought I would look forward to the return of Henry Blanco to improve the offensive production from the catcher position.

[Sosa21MVP]

Correct me if I'm wrong but wouldn't this be the first time this season the Cubs would be 2 games over .500? Making no assumptions about the 9th only posing a hypothetical. :lol:

[98navigator]

I think Ohman is in for the lefties only. Howry was warming too.

[inari]

Flash chat never works for me. Gah.

 

Let's get these final three outs.

[soccer10k]

Error, walk, infield hit, home run.

 

Cubs lose.

 

Omar = :banned:

[Omar]

Gah. Piniella brings in a reliever, who throws 30-40 foot curve balls to the boot.

[Soul]

Ack, they're going to make me sweat the 9th again.

 

Ohman up along with Howry --- hmmm, Lou not showing the total confidence.

Nah, I wasn't referring to last night. Just in general. I'm too nervous, anything under 3 runs I don't feel comfortable.

[98navigator]

Schneider out 4-3

 

1 down

Ok, phew. I mean I get being nervous in close games, I mean we are all cubs fans.

[Soul]

1 down, Ohman for closer :D

[Omar]

That wasn't a walk. :shock:

 

Instead a Pierre grounder. 1 down.

Yes, 1 game over was the previous max.

[soccer10k]

1 down.

[Bote McBoteface]

For whoever asked, yes this would be as far over .500 that the Cubs have been this season.

 

I believe they said that May 6th of last season was the last time they were 2 over.

[Illini Iceman]

Those are two ugly mugs (Ohman and Fick) on GameDay

[Soul]

Cmon. It's Fick.

Impressive, wtg guys.
