8/21 Cubs (Marquis) at Giants (Lincecum) 9:15 PM CT, CSN

[Alfonso Soriano]

Cliff is going to get whipped cream in his face

[BCVM22]

Cliff thanking his dad for the game-winning single.

[E.J.]

D'Backs with a fake rally in the bottom of the 9th. They've scored 2 to make it 7-4. Runner on 2nd and 2 outs.

[CUBZ99]

As an objective onlooker, I find it kind of silly that some of you guys are complaining about Lincecum being emotional out there, seeing as how you have that Zambrano fellow and whatnot.

 

Not saying celebrating is good or bad, just pointing out my ... uh.. observation.

 

Also, impressive resilience out of the Cubs to come back after Lincecum looking so good all game...

 

Who is complaining? I'm just glad they finally got to Bucky and gave him the L.

[Schwarber Fan]

glad to have stayed up for this one

 

agreed, fellow ESTer

 

Lets go get Zito and Cain

[Soul]

Cliff felt his dad in his body :shock:

 

Cliff's Dad guided that one through :)

So how many of you that were glad you weren't going to this game are re-thinking that now? :)

 

Guilty as charged. :oops:

 

Sort of guilty. It would have been miserable sitting through those first eight innings.

[CubsNSkers07]

One thing i'd like to say is thank you scott eyre for going out there and doing your job in the 8th.

A little attitude adjustment is in order, no? :wink:

[Alfonso Soriano]

Scott Podsednik got hurt tonight.

Glad we didn't get him

[JonnyRed]

Great comeback win tonight....here's hoping this kickstarts a nice winning streak!

[BigSlick]

Scott Podsednik got hurt tonight.

Glad we didn't get him

 

His injury woes are at the bottom of the list of reasons against getting him.

[aerosmith21]

I live in Wisconsin and go on the board http://www.wissports.net you should see some of the morons on there. They just ripped me sayin how we can only beat crappy teams. Told them if I recall didnt the giants just win the last series they played against the brewers? LMAO

[Andy]

I won't diss Cliff Floyd for exactly one day. Thanks Cliffy.

 

Did we get a runner into scoring position before the Riot double in the 9th?

No.

I didn't think so. I was listening on my friend's Gameday Audio and noticed that. Utterly ridiculous.

 

Glad we pulled it out anyway. :)

[soccer10k]

Just as an FYI, I won't be able to get the next thread up until I get off work around midnight.

It's not exactly a good thing, but Lincecum was that good tonight. Would have dominated the best offenses. At least it was a good pitcher that completely dominated for 8 innings instead of a rookie with an 8 ERA.
