7/12 - Giants (Corriea) @ Cubs (Harden) 12:05, CSN TV

[Soul]

i'm a mixture of happy and completely irate

 

It's a rare day when I feel such an even mix of anger and happiness.

[weis21]

Nice!

 

Close play at the plate, sounds like?

 

I'm not near as excited about the win as I normally would be. I guess that's what happens when you blow a 7 run lead.

It was ridiculously close

[XZero771679666304]

Thank ---SOAPDROPPING--- god.

 

 

I'm not even happy.

 

 

Winning this game was like finding out you have type 2 instead of type 1 diabetes.

 

A relief, but it still sucks.

Thank you Reed, F you Lou.

[Omar]

That was like the Cubs/Rockies game last year.

[98navigator]

WHEW!

 

Go Cubs Go!!!!!! :)

[Outshined_One]

Wow. I don't know if DeRo was safe on that.

[Ski]

If I was legal age instead of 16, I would drink too after today.

It should never have come to that. It was such a glorious day.

Wouldn't Wilson be the losing pitcher?

[PrimeTime]

Things we learned from today.

 

Rich Harden is God

 

Lou gets dumber every game.

 

Marmol needs to go on DL

[hawkcub]

It's always a good thing when 14 year old Len comes out. Edited July 12, 2008 by hawkcub

[Omar]

DeRosa made a great slide.

[Soul]

So let me guess: because we won, nobody will really take Lou to task for the decision to leave Marmol in. Right?

[98navigator]

Wow. I don't know if DeRo was safe on that.

 

The replay looked like his heel caught the plate just before the tag.

[Bote McBoteface]

I'm 21 and I'm getting hammered.

Marshall should be in the rotation.

[TruffleShuffle]

I don't get bitching about the bunt there.

 

slow lead runner with poor baserunning instincts, batter who has been hot, and the next batter is a guy who does not hit RHP well.

[tfarks]

If I was legal age instead of 16, I would drink too after today.

 

When I was 16 I could drink a 5th of Southern Comfort.

[Cubzfan64]

Great start for Rich Harden (despite not getting the win). Would like to see him get through 6 or 7 innings, but I'll take it.

 

Marmol's gotta find his stuff again - dunno whether it's dead arm syndrome, being overworked or what, but he's become way too inconsistent to be a dominant setup guy.

 

A win is a win I guess.

[Irrelevant Dude]

So let me guess: because we won, nobody will really take Lou to task for the decision to leave Marmol in. Right?

Do you think he's stupid or something?

And Marshall the winner. Fred jumped the gun a bit earlier ;)

Buzzkill is the word that immediately comes to mind. Unfortunate, because it didn't need to be that way at all.

 

 

Of course, winning in the 11th is exciting and all, but I wanted the triumphant Harden shutdown start to be the story.

[WTFCUBS]

Ron was outstanding on the call.

[TysonCBulls423]

Look at Riot react on that play. He's like the younger brother. Picture perfect. Thanks Reed for keeping me alive for another day!
