7/5 Cubs (Marshall) @ Nationals (Bergmann), 6:05 CT, CSN

[CubinNY]

Is it apparent to anyone else who is watching on MLB EI that Bob Carpenter absolutely cannot stand the Cubs?

Lots of teams announcers cannot stand the Cubs. I think they are jealous of the reach of WGN and all the loyal fans who follow the Cubs to away games.

 

The Cubs are very lucky there are people like us. All it takes is a two week hot streak and we get thinking about the playoffs.

does pie get sent down again this year...or...are they going to work with him?

 

it will sadden me if he never makes it

 

Lou and Perry have been working with him.

 

i know they have...but he is not getting much playing time

 

i don't know why, but i just feel better with him out there everyday

 

call me crazy

 

Lou feels very strongly that he'll do better working off the field for a while. Hopefully he's right.

 

yikes...i really hope so too!

[Omar]

Inning over.

 

Lets get a win!

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Carpenter probably wanted the job when Len got it and the Cubs told him, "No thanks. You suck."

No drama in the 9th Bob

Make this easy Howry.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Finish the game, bitches!

yikes...i really hope so too!

 

I can see some benefits in it. It takes a lot of the pressure off of him. Especially with the hot streak we're on.

[CubColtPacer]

Well, looks like I was 1 run short on my brave prediction-oh well.

 

Come on Howry-make these 4 runs hold up!

[cubweiser03]

Fick

Batista

Logan

[Soul]

There's definitely a running joke with Teddy Roosevelt in DC. Commercials even make fun of him.

[98navigator]

DLee in for Defense

[Fred Hornkohl]

Howry in to pitch for the CUBS

[Omar]

Howry in.

maybe it is just the dork in me, but i see something really special developing between him and soriano...i guess it is just going to take some time...

 

i just need to exercise a bit more patience

[inari]

This should be easy Howry. DON'T SUCK CUBS!

[Soul]

Come on Bob, enough of this crap tonight.

[Bruno7481]

Carpenter probably wanted the job when Len got it and the Cubs told him, "No thanks. You suck."

 

Probably stems more from his years as a Cardinals broadcaster.

[98navigator]

97mph by Bob

[Fred Hornkohl]

Fick lined out to left field

[Omar]

Fick out at LF, weird catch Soriano.

[98navigator]

whew, I thought that was dropped

 

1 down

[otis89]

I hate not getting CSN.
