8/26 Cubs (Z!) @ Pirates (Snell) - 6:05 WGN TV

[Outshined_One]

Also, Alan Trammel should be in the Hall of Fame.

 

been saying this for years, none of the voters are listening to me though :x

 

It's not quite as bad as Ron Santo, but it's still pretty bad. He was one heck of a SS back in the day.

[TMan92]

Oh yeah I forgot it's Marquis tomorrow. We could lose 2/3 to these guys.

 

That coupled with STL inability to ever beat Milwaukee is pretty scary.

 

On cue...Braun homers 5-0

[David]

Sweet...

[Ski]

No way that third pitch was a strike.

 

Yay, check swing single.

[bcl412]

Braun just homered. 5-0 Brewers.

[Little Slide Rooter]

You owe us Soriano.

[Soul]

Fontenot vs. a lefty...this should be fun

 

U CAN'T STOP THE FONT

[erik316wttn]

Cubs are going to pullout this one.

 

Cedeno shouldn't have been bunting in the first place. If Lou wants to get pissed at someone he should get a mirror.

 

Gaudin could have done that. Why waste the bench man?

[Hall7810]

Oh man, I fear we're gonna see some sort of hit and run.

[SouthSideRyan]

Why is Cedeno on this team? What the hell is it that he does well?

 

Besides being one of the best backup best shortstops in baseball?

 

Nothing.

Slick defense, cool. He sucks at everything else.

 

God, give me strength.

Have him give Ronny some while he's at it. And some brains. And an ability to get on base.

 

Well you did just hammer Theriot for his inability to get on base in '07, since it was worse than Ronny's.

 

You do hammer Theriot for his braindead baserunning at least once a week.

 

Hell, you can't go a day without bringing up Theriot throwing the ball into RF from his back for no apparent reason that one game.

 

No wait, none of this is true.

[Mizzou]

i'm pretty sure WGN radio has a mic on the ump

No, he's just screaming every time he calls a strike. I hate umps that do that.

 

And I hate Ryan Braun.

[TruffleShuffle]

Fontenot vs. a lefty...this should be fun

 

Edit: Or not :)

 

actually you were right, it WAS quite fun.

[ChiCubsfan0502]

Fontenot with a "chip shot". LOL at this game.

[Soul]

Braun just homered. 5-0 Brewers.

This night is starting to feel worse with every passing minute. I would do well to try and do something else, but I'm too stupid to.

Have umps always done this showboating crap?

[erik316wttn]

Fontenot with a "chip shot". LOL at this game.

 

Was it Font who had that bloop double in the final game in Milwaukee that hit directly on the line and kind of just died? I LOL'ed at that.

[SouthSideRyan]

You owe us Soriano.

 

Wish it was Daryle Ward coming up instead. He isn't a lollygagger.

[UMFan83]

Soriano owes us a HR for that crap in the field

[bcl412]

Braun just homered. 5-0 Brewers.

This night is starting to feel worse with every passing minute. I would do well to try and do something else, but I'm too stupid to.

 

Just remember, our magic number to get to the playoffs is going to shrink.

[cubscausestress]

jaque jones is pinch hitting here. going to ground to second base into a dp

[Ski]

If we win this game, easily one of the best games of the year (in a bad way)

[ChiCubsfan0502]

Braun looks like an anphibian.

That's true.

[David]

FWIW, DeRosa was praising the hell out of Cedeno the other day on the radio. He really didn't have to say anything, but he's a big fan of his ability and said he's one of the most talented players on the team.

 

Cue jokes about it being because he can't take his job or something.

[inari]

Another pitcher with serious control problems. Patience, Cubs.
