9/28 Cubs at Reds

[weatherdood]

Capuano's night is done. Gwynn pinch hitting for the Crew

[CubsBears29]

Get a couple more runs (for good measure), and then 3 more outs!!

 

And then watch as the Dads finish the Brewers off (PLEASE God??!!)!!!!!

[Post Count Padder]

Nice inning

[Brian]

LET'S GET SOME RUNS!!

 

Cubs and Padres

[CubinNY]

What a day.

 

I submitted two manuscripts for peer review and the Cubs are on the doorstep

 

Time for a beer.

[CubmanPi]

Into the ninth, and I'm about ready to pee myself.

[CubColtPacer]

I didn't really care that much about Howry last year. But man I really like him this year.

 

Perhaps because these games matter and he's been clutch in the 2nd half?

 

That's probably the case. The only people that really got attention last year were the ones who made it exciting (people like Z). Howry isn't like that, he's just really steady, and you tend to appreciate those people more when the games matter more.

[Brian]

Time for a beer.

 

yes sir

[Mizzou]

Three more outs til our magic number is down to one!

[third eye]

Friggin sweet! the cubs need to score 5 here to validate the poll on this game thread

You deserve it...crack one for me, please. I'm still at work

[XZero771679666304]

Keep that ball down, Greg.

[weatherdood]

Maddux needs a quick inning...and so do I.. I need to pee badly

[minnesotacubsfan]

Time for a beer.

 

yes sir

 

no sir. time for beer #4

[Mizzou]

Time for a beer.

 

yes sir

Just cracked open a Rolling Rock. Beer tastes so much better when you're in a great mood.

[NYF]

who the hell is Joe Nuxall? the best known baseball player in Cincy? ummm, i think not...

 

That's joe Nuxhall. Been a Reds' announcer for about 40 years after finishing his playing career with the Reds. Around Cincinnati, he's as well known as any of 'em.

 

yeah, i know full well who he is. i was being facetious. if you would have read my previous poists, my point is more about the absurdity of this Reds guy in the crowd/ Reds broadcast. as for Nux being the most famous Red? i still think not.

 

shall i display stats? ;)

 

Yes. I would most definitely like to see your stats on who is the most well known. That should be most informative.

see:

 

Bench, Morgan, Rose, etc. oh yeah...

 

So? Billy Williams is in the Hall of Fame and Ron Santo is not. Which one is more beloved and more known by Cubs fans? Santo, because of his announcing career. The same is the case for Nuxhall.

 

BTW, I believe Nuxhall will hold the record for the youngest player ever to play in a major league game for a long time. He was 15 when he got into a game in 1945.

 

fine. you win all the money. Joe Nuxhall is the most famous Cincinnati Reds player of all time.

 

 

 

 

 

:roll:

[Brian]

Time for a beer.

I'm past that already

[Fred Hornkohl]

Into the ninth, and I'm about ready to pee myself.

 

Son, you gotta cut down on that drinking !!!

[Mizzou]

Weeks aboard with one out.

[Post Count Padder]

Cmon Maddux, get through this inning

[weatherdood]

Weeks aboard on a single to left

[BigSlick]

Fontenot has absolute no approach at the plate.

[Mizzou]

Who's up in our pen?

[CubsBears29]

Please tell me the SD bullpen can be great if need be......

[CubmanPi]

Fontenot has absolute no approach at the plate.

But his approach back to the dugout is down to an art.
