It's going to be fun in the 9th with Wood this year. :D

[BigSlick]

Impressive inning by Wood against the heart of their order, nice job man.

 

Cubs Win!

 

.500!

[ctcf]

I believe this means they're actually upgraded from Cobs to Cubs now.

 

Nicely done boys. Better win the next two series (especially Philly!!!)

That they are, my friend. That they are.

[VanceJergins]

Fukudome is so cute celebrating with the other outfielders.

[Fred Hornkohl]

I'm so, so, so tempted to post innuendo right now. However, I'm not in the mood to risk a ban.

Why would posting about Italian suppositories get you banned?

 

Groan !!

[dew1679666265]

=D> Cubs win!

[Bote McBoteface]

I'm liking our sham closer.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Theriot gritted an IF single to first base

 

 

Fixed Fred

 

What the hell do you mean, "Fixed Fred" ???? You think I'm a dog and you can cut off my.......

Ooops. Never mind :oops:

[Outshined_One]

Fukudome is so cute celebrating with the other outfielders.

 

I can't wait for him and Soriano to develop a 12 step handshake.

[David]

I think that sham closer post might just become NSBB's version of "If Zambrano starts, your in trouble..."

[inari]

Glad to see Woody pitching better than he did on Monday.

[javy knows my name]

Words can't express how happy I am that Derrek is creaming the ball and Woody is makin dudes look silly at the plate.

vance bumped the first anti-Wood rant and reference to the "sham" competition. Jim Sorgi bumped the first actual use of the term. I guess we'll have to pick one as the "official" one.

2 Down! Lets get Tejada, and salvage this crap week.

 

I wouldn't call this week "crap week." It could've been better, but it could've been worse. Finishing the week, 3-3, is pretty solid first week, IMO.

Winning today salvaged the week. Had we lost, it would've continued to be a crap week.
