[hawkcub]

The wind with a run scoring double. Yay wind.

[WrigleyinEngland]

Don't want to put to much on this guy, i pretty much enjoy watching him hit more than any cub i've ever watched, so for me that's the last 11 years!!. 8-)

[SABR Gamer]

This just doesn't feel like the Cubs, they are way too patient.

[weis21]

Did Bob just say "can-o-corn" ?!

easily the dumbest term in baseball.

 

Also, just wanted to reiterate that Ron should sing every stretch.

[Derwood]

so the Cubs thought the season started today, eh?

I think I seriously am in love with Fukudome. I want to have his babies.

I've got to give you credit vance, you were hyping Fukudome since before he was ever linked to the cubs. I think it was one of your posts that led me to look into him.

[Bull]

Howry in to blow the save.

Wait a minute. That's Bob Howry on the mound. There must be some mistake. Why is Bob Howry on the mound? Get Bob Howry off the mound. For the love of all that is good, PLEASE get Bob Howry off the mound.

Howry in to pitch for the CUBS

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

I think I found my scouting report on Howry. It says he throws straight fastballs....every mofo pitch!

[Little Slide Rooter]

Kosuke is batting .500, Soriano is batting .048

 

wow

 

Thats only because Kosuke is a good baseball player where as Soriano is not.
