LOU'S MEETING:

 

Hey guys, just came out to say you should've scored more runs. Way to suck

 

that was funny, der

 

AWESOME ENDING GO CUBS!!!!

[rocket]

and rich hill gets the win! yay!

[CubmanPi]

I call a Cubs win with the tying run stranded in scoring position.

[The Voice of Reason]

That's is what you call a lucky save.

 

Please no more Dempster.

The Astros just went Cub on the Cubs by stranding a runner on third with no outs.

[Ender]

Right there is why the Cubs go the playoffs this year if they do end up winning it. The Brewers give up an extra run every other game defensively, Cubs save an extra run every 2 to 3 games with good defense.

[erik316wttn]

I hurt my arm fist pumping after that double play.

 

We got lucky. DAMN lucky.

[rocket]

it's not going to get easier...

[TruffleShuffle]

and rich hill gets the win! yay!

 

he'd better get the win.... if the cubs are gonna go out and give him three whole runs of support, the least he can do is shut down the other team

[Guest]

That's is what you call a lucky save.

 

Please no more Dempster.

 

Ignoring how lucky they even got one run with the grounder that bounced off first base?

[Sammy Sofa]

That's is what you call a lucky save.

 

Please no more Dempster.

 

I'm not excusing the hit he gave up (compunded by Pie's fielding) or the walk, but when the tone is set by an easy grounder flying off of 1B like that, well, you gotta be willing to chalk up the "unlucky" if you're only going to say he got "lucky."

[The Voice of Reason]

I definitely did NOT see that coming... :shock:

 

Why not? Dempster (and his 4.00 ERA ) was warming up.

[cubweiser03]

That DP was AWESOME.

Lee awesome pick and throw

Theriot Awesome

Dempster Awesome cover

 

MOFO AWESOME!

[treebird]

That's is what you call a lucky save.

 

Please no more Dempster.

 

stupid dempster, allowing the one hard hit ball and all

[TruffleShuffle]

i can't handle many more games like this

 

it's not going to get easier...

 

tomorrow's game will probably be easy; cubs will be down 10 by the 3rd inning

[SouthSideRyan]

The Astros just went Cub on the Cubs by stranding a runner on third with no outs.

 

You mean Dempster went opposing pitcher on the Stros.

 

GREAT JOB by Dempster after giving up one actual hit.
