7/14 CUBS (Lilly) vs. Astros (Oswalt), 2:55 PM CT, FOX

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Well this game has been cathartic. The first 3-4 innings made me feel like complete crap, but after shelling Oswalt, I feel a lot better.

 

Beating up the Astros always feels good.

 

How could we possibly be winning with Jones, Bowen, and Izturis in the lineup?

 

We're playing the Astros?

AHHHHHHhhh..

 

Now I can enjoy the rest of my Saturday.

 

This is fun.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Let's keep kicking the "home team's" ass...ok, bitches!

 

LOL. You should call the editors who made that b.s. call now and ask them 'how you like me now?'

 

I'll be all over their forums tonight... :lol:

The more I listen to Girardi, the more I'm glad he's not our manager.

[Fred Hornkohl]

D Lee struck out swinging

[DurbanJer]

I can't see the game (stupid Fox and MLB), but how does Joe look? Has he sweated his pits out across his chest yet?

Rammy singles. Izturis to 3B

[Fred Hornkohl]

Ramirez singled to right field , Izturis to third

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Ramirez is good at baseball.

At bottom, the drama queen act when the lineup came out looks a silly now.

Are you thinking of Joe Borowski?

The more I listen to Girardi, the more I'm glad he's not our manager.

 

I've had the TV muted, so would you mind explaining?

[Ding Dong Johnson]

The more I listen to Girardi, the more I'm glad he's not our manager.

 

I concur, this broadcast team is beyond terrible

[98navigator]

The more I listen to Girardi, the more I'm glad he's not our manager.

 

Ditto

This is Borkowski not Borowski

[Soul]

The more I listen to Girardi, the more I'm glad he's not our manager.

 

Out of curiosity, what are the things he is saying that you aren't liking?

having a good game does not replace the fact that we're in dire need of an upgrade at SS, C, and CF.

Just a lot of old school baseball cliche's.

oops.

 

Stupid whiskey. :lol: :oops:

[98navigator]

Fontenot looking lethargic. He's going to have to show he can hit a changeup

[Warren Brusstar]

Dear Roy:

 

Please enjoy the .38 runs we just added to your ERA.

 

TIA.

Eh, you got those from Lou when he was in the booth as well.

Take that to Hendry, not Lou. Freaking out on a manager every game when he's clearly doing well at the moment is, indeed, uncalled for.
