6/28 Cubs (Gallagher) @ WhiteSox (Vasquez) 2:55 CT Fox

[ChiCubsfan0502]

As another poster said, we are 2 inches away (Crede's diving catch on Soto would have scored 2) and a CF with good legs (RJ scores on Cedneo's double) from leading this game by 2 runs.

 

Quentin's HR was a wind tunnel shot, although that's just mother nature; not much you can do about that.

[Flames24Rulz]

To the 9th we go.

[BCVM22]

Well. Just don't go down quietly here, please.

[Roast]

Well, it's th part of our lineup we'd want up. Any chance we can get some more aram magic?

[CubsGM]

Load the bases and get nothing CUBS

[Mark_R]

Well, at least Stone isn't a "figure beloved by both sides of town."

[TruffleShuffle]

real classy fox, brennaman is saying nice things about santo, and they put up a graphic about the ASG and pump up the music. so brennaman has to stop talking about santo and plug the game instead. Edited June 28, 2008 by TruffleShuffle

Just as the stadium seemingly shrunk to accomodate Ramirez and Quentin's home run, is there any doubt that there will be a deep fly in the next inning that will get caught at the wall and was just hammered by one of the Cubs?

I'm hoping for a trade in the next week.

 

really? who? i keep hearing sabathia won't be dealt anytime soon.

 

Burnett, a RH power hitter off the bench who can play OF, a decent starting pitcher, anything to improve this team and add a spark.

[Butterscup1679666578]

Well we've got the right guys coming up. Hopefully Lee can start us off.

Is Theriot hurt? I wasn't able to watch yersterday or today's game so I haven't heard anything.

[gflore34]

Sure would be nice if Ramirez could get a hit this series, who knows, maybe this inning?

after which a meteor will come down from the heavens and strike ernie banks dead.

[UMFan83]

Well. Just don't go down quietly here, please.

 

Would you prefer a bases loaded 0 out situation followed by 3 K's again? I certainly wouldn't. I am going to be upset about this game all day no matter what, but I will be about 3 times as upset if they get my hopes up again only to fail.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 3-25 when they trail at the end of 8 innings.

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[ChiCubsfan0502]

Time for a pair of runs!

[Fred Hornkohl]

Jenks in to pitch for the white sox

[CubsGM]

I want to see Jenks combust on the mound.

Knowing our luck, the next three outs will be a diving catch in the outfield, a dive at a line drive that hits off of the glove of Crede but stays up long enough for Cabrera, and a leaping catch by old man Dye at the wall to rob ARam.

[BigSlick]

Please fox feed please start screwing up in the most important part of the game

[Fred Hornkohl]

D Lee doubled to right center field

[BCVM22]

Hey.

[UMFan83]

How crushing would it be to Sox fans if we somehow came back to win.
