8/14: Cubs (Lilly) @ Braves (Glavine) 6:10p CDT CSN

I think Ted def did that on purpose.

Yeah, he got him right in the ribs. I think he did it on purpose. Braves radio speculates that the Cubs hit Escobar because he's buddies with Bueno in Cuba and since that guy go sent down, Escobar was the next best thing... Not to mention that ball he riffled back at Lilly earlier.

[17 Seconds]

I'm kinda scared. This is the kind of inning where things get out of control and pitcher gets pissed off and plunks somebody.

[Schwarber Fan]

Cubs rule

[javy knows my name]

Too bad renteria isn't still on this team

I thought Bueno was suspended?

[kujay]

Is Lilly on deck? Gotta believe he's staying in, esp. if Riot gets it done here.

[erik316wttn]

I tune in to hear Pat talking about a warning to both benches, what the hell happened?

 

Lilly hit Escobar in the ribs, Escobar decided to be a jerk and point out there, both benches cleared but everyone just stood around, and then after he stopped crying he took 1st base.

[Brian]

Funny thing is I wouldn't be remotely surprised if Lilly made the decision to throw at Escobar by himself.

 

hopefully he told Escobar... "ask Edgar Renteria why that happened"

[Soul]

Ward even gets an RBI.

 

OK ladies & gentlemen, here comes Soriano, the favorite target of classless loser teams everywhere.

[kujay]

Ward PH. I sort of wanted to see what was going to happen if Lilly went up there, but this is the right move.

Last time the Cubs won 8 in a row on the road?

 

1945.

 

I refuse to believe that statistic.

[Brian]

i really want a 500 footer here

[erik316wttn]

This is odd...

 

I'm listening on my cheap little $5 walkman. WGN is full of static and is coming in poorly, but I can hear Marty Brenneman in the background over Pat Hughes announcing the Reds game, and that's coming in clear as a bell.

 

Weird.

[PrimeTime]

I think he just swung at whatever there hoping the next pitch wasn't going to hit him

Straight from the mouth of Pat Hughes.

[Soul]

My God when this team starts scoring runs it's beautiful.

 

 

WE SCORED 11 AGAIN TONIGHT!

 

Can anyone even believe how prolific this offense is? I mean seriously, take a step back and look at the big picture. This is ridiculously awesome.

Thanks, I still maintain that Cox is one the Cubs should be throwing at although, throwing a ball into the dugout would be very strange.

[Bull]

then you're on 700 not 720

I just can't believe that the Cubs in the last 63 years have been unable to win 8 in a row on the road. I mean I know the Cubs haven't had the best teams, but wow.

[PrimeTime]

That ball was smoked foul

Kaplan said in CTL that it was 1908, so who knows.

[witty alias]

Theriot should have destroyed Escobar on that FC.

Yeah, the braves announcers showed a clip of Escobar's earlier hit and were basically insinuating that Lilly was pissed that Escobar hit a ball up the middle. Absolutely idiotic.

[Schwarber Fan]

Damn, we are hammering the ball

I'm on 720, and it slowly fades in. I just adjusted it now, and I can hear Pat and Ron, but in about a few minutes, I'm going to hear Marty again until his voice overtakes Pat's and I'll have to fidget with the tuner knob again.
