Fontenot at SS?

[Vanilla Ice]

SneakyPower moves to short

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 4-37 when they trail at the end of the 7th inning.

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[TMan92]

Does Carlos Lee literally only do that defensively against us?

 

That wasn't hard defensively.

 

Agree...But the guy is typically a moron on defense.

[CubsNSkers07]

Throw strikes Cotts so we can get to the bottom of the 8th QUICKLY!

 

Nice ward :)

[Fred Hornkohl]

Tejada lined out to first base

[Andy]

That DeRosa shot was like the Fontenot homer he hit last year in the 9th to end a game (I think against Cincy) that I still swear God knocked down.

[salukifudd]

Storms acomin'.

[SouthSideRyan]

I don't understand why you wouldn't go with DeRosa at SS.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Berkman grounded out to third, 5-3

Remember last season when Theriot made a bid for a bases loaded gapper in extras and Lee made a once in a lifetime (for him) diving catch?

[Irrelevant Dude]

Storms acomin'.

And by that you mean Latroy Hawkins is warming up in the bullpen?

I remember that. I thought it was against the Padres but anyways, I remember it looking like it hit an invisible wall.

[CubsNSkers07]

Storms acomin'.

 

quiet!

 

throw strikes COTTS!

[TMan92]

I do not, for one, think that the problem was that the band was down. I think that the problem *may* have been, that there was a Stonehenge monument on the stage that was in danger of being *crushed* by a *dwarf*. Alright? That tended to understate the hugeness of the object.

This game is about to end

[CubsNSkers07]

if we get to the bottom of the 8th and they have to call it do they suspend it or not?

I live west of Wrigley and it is not good.

[InconspicuousZ28]

Yeah, eff you Carlos Lee.

[bcl412]

This game is about to end

 

Let's three really quick and win the game.

[CubsBears29]

GJ, Cotts!!

 

Helped the Astros chased a bunch and made the inning very quick!!

[RonnieWooWooSanto]

Okay Cubs, score fast.

Nope, the game would be official.

Cotts blows right through the Astros in the 8th. Great work! Three runs, please. Edited August 5, 2008 by ChiCubsfan0502
