9/23 Pirates (Gorzelanny) @ Cubs (Z) 1:20 PM CDT WGN/720

Omg omg omg omg omg omg omg

 

Too much excitement going.

 

The Brewers are folding like a house of cards - just like I thought they would. But I couldn't have imagined the Cubs coming out and just POUNDING three lefties in a row. 30 runs in 3 games. Absolutely freaking ridiculous. This team's on a mission.

 

I think with Soto, Murton, etc and Lou's new lineup against lefties teams should pretty much stop expecting to shut down the Cubs with any lefty they throw out there. Lou has made the adjustments and it is no longer a weakness. Hopefully that same lineup lights up D-Train on Tuesday.

Silverchair - Straight Lines

Appreciated.

Somebody youtube that video now.

[inari]

Unfortunately, I think youtube will take the video down. The montage from the end of 2004 used to be on it, but has been removed.

Thanks - cool tune. "Lately I'm a desperate believer" pretty much sums up the feeling right now.

[Keener98]

Apparently Yost was livid in his interview blaming the umpires etc...anybody got a video of this? I have to see it lol

It might last longer if you make the video totally unsearchable by putting fake tags and descriptions.

Z on what's causing his cramping:

 

"I don't know. I'm a pitcher, not a doctor."

Was following on my phone, but I'm so glad i Tivo'd this and watched most of it.

 

The random tomahawk chops (a lame thing for the Braves, but cooly Ironic for Cubs fans ;)

 

Soriano, Murton & pie noticing the Braves taking the lead while Woody warms up

 

The "Kerry" chants

 

standing ovation when it Brewers loss went up on the board.

[expletive]. I'm so pissed I had to work and didn't bother to record this. If anyone could somehow send me a captured copy of the game over the interwebs, please PM me.

Here's the montage (with Len's voice-a-crackin' left and right!):

Very nice that it's not nearly as soul-crushing and depressing as the last 3 years. That 2004 one still makes me tear up whenever I see it.

 

Let's hope this is the start of something really special.

 

Cubs win, dammit.

One problem with that is them showing hits/home runs from the Cubs-Marlins series when the Cubs got swept. Aren't these supposed to be positive memories?

[Coach C]

Nice work on the montage. I just wished they could had showed the Fuld catch a little bit more, like in full-speed and the throw to 1st.

 

I believe that is a catch of the year IMHO.

One of those clips is definitely from the NSBB day game, which I thought really weird.

I saw several losses in there...I guess it was more of a HR reel than anything. Weird seeing those Barrett shots.

It needed the Derrek Lee inside-the-park home run. Man, that was an exciting moment.

[jjgman21]

saw the one on WGN. watched several on YouTube.

 

why is this missing?

 

 

edit - come to think of it, where is Theriots suicide squeeze a month later

[Bote McBoteface]

Ah, I get it. The Cubs are doing the ol' "make the division seem locked up then choke it up in dramatic fashion" routine.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I kid, I kid. Great job Cubs. For the first time in a real long time, I don't get embarrassed in pubic when I mention I'm a Cubs fan.
