crap, murton is out of the lineup now

[illiniguy]

This is team is so frustrating. They can't score to save a life in Houston and now in four innings, they put up a 10-spot.

 

dude, it is because you aren't there

Seriously. Vance, what's the Cubs' record with you in attendance so far this year?

 

I think Fred said the Cubs were 1-9 with vance in attendance this year earlier in the thread.

Vance, thanks for knocking the Cubs out of first place.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Buchholz called out on strikes

Tell me about it.

 

We scored 5-6 runs TOTAL in Houston (who's well under .500), and we've got near 50% more runs than that in just 4 innings in Colorado (who's a bit OVER .500).

 

Go figure. "The ups and downs" of a long season, I suppose.

1-9 I saw it earlier :)

Wow. Now I feel dirty for all those votes I placed in the 7th inning stretch competition :wink:

[illiniguy]

?!? Has there not been any info on this yet? I haven't even heard Pat or Ron mention it yet.

[badger1679666666]

I don't think Fred is the only one on the booze, Bob sounds loopy.

Your sarcasm meter must be completely busted.

:oops: Yea, I heard the dive and miss play, but I was away from the computer for two minutes, so figured I must have missed something else.

 

Derr.

[illiniguy]

wgn got a winner with that corner gas.

Reno 911 looks funnier (stupider).

 

"I just slipped in poop!!"

I hear reno is funny. I can't see corner gas being anything but a sore.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Lilly grounded out to second, 4-3

[Rusch33]

Reno 911 is awesome.

[inari]

For the first time in a few nights, I'm going out with friends not because the Cubs are pissing me off, but because I feel like the game is in hand. If they lose, it's my fault.

[CubsBears29]

I feel sorry for Len and Bob... to have to sit through the promos - or do the promos themselves - for those stupid shows that WGN runs.

 

I can just see them with their hands covering their eyes and shaking their heads when those ads come up.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Theriot singled to center field

What establishment in Iowa City are you headed out to?

Go to the Q.

[Cynosure]

Once again, see why this guy is leading off?

 

SO MUCH MORE consistent than Soriano... I hope he keeps the job when Overrated comes back.
