7/29 BigZ makes it W3 (There's a game at 7:05pm on WGN TV)

[Andy]

I hate, hate, the Marquette gold.

 

Nice job, Mark.

 

BOOOOO BADGERS

 

It's not our fault every single one of your sports programs have gone downhill, except wrestling.

 

Correct but it is your fault that you have the most annoying fan base in the Big Ten. Well, top 3 anyways.

 

Michigan, Ohio State, and Penn State are worse.

Michigan State and Purdue can't be any better than Wisconsin either.

Hopefully the Cubs can get a few runs so Lou doesn't feel the need to stretch Z over 100 pitches tonight.

 

He didn't have a high pitch count last time out did he? If I'm correct, though Lou has overworked some of the pen, he's been real good about the rotation. When Harden had 104 2 starts ago, even with time off, he pulled him after 87 the other day.

 

If there's a game/team/series, I want our best in the longest it's this one.

 

Anything to keep Howry out of the game.

 

124 on July 24 vs. Florida.

the sound just disappeared!

 

and now it's back

 

I'm in Minneapolis, and I don't hear it. Is it only on WGN HD?

Inning looked a lot more promising to start. Hopefully another quick one for Z then we can get a couple with the heart of the order in the 6th

It's subtle and you might no recognize it but once you do it doesn't go away.

Ok, more fatty questions...

 

Who's fatter Sabathia or Fielder?

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Despite Soriano's 8 pitch AB, little patience that inning. Sheets threw 12 pitches, giving him 72 on the night. He'll probably last through seven now.

This might be off topic a bit, but anytime someone claims "Cubs fans only go to Wrigley to get drunk and don't care about the game" I point to scenes like tonight where there must be close to 20,000 Cubs fans in attendance. Of course, Cubs Nations shows up strong wherever we play. Guess we Cubs fans actually like to follow our team, huh?

 

The fact that you can here loud cheers for the Cubs in places like Colorado or San Diego is pretty impressive.

Atlanta too. That's always stuck out to me.

[Allroy]

Z better not melt down here after that craptastic bunt.

[Garage Party]

College sports brings out the dumbest of the dumb, I swear.

Cubs fans sold out their stadium during the playoffs.

Sheets at 75 pitches through 5 which means, by Yost-thought, he's on pace to throw a solid 8 innings.

I stand corrected. Under 110 and I'm fine. This is would be a big win and he's a horse. A win guarantees a split, which is all I WANTED. With Harden v. Bush, we could pick up a game with a win tonight.

75 Pitches for Sheets according to Yahoo Sports.

As long as those solid 8 innings involve at least 2 more ER

So basically every big ten team's fanbase besides Iowa (cuz they suck), Northwestern (because they aren't really in the big ten), Indiana (because they suck), and Minnesota (because they suck) are awful?

 

:wink:

He did swing at that right?

And Sheets being inactive or ineffective the rest of the year. (I don't want a serious injury but I would enjoy him being ineffective)

[salukifudd]

Think Cameron was thinking fastball on that one?

Well...yeah, pretty much. :)

Papelbon's gonna pinch hit single to break it up.

How bout a blister?

Yep. Foul ball.

2008 Z doesn't melt down. Maybe he's seeing a sports psychologist.
