One way to show that you're drunk is to hold the sign you have upside down.

Crude... but effective !!

Wow, Jim Edmonds got a stading O from the fans in front of the Cards. That's got to burn both the Cards and their fans.

[Fred Hornkohl]

With 7 seconds left..... Tampa Bay ties ups the BEARS, 24-24. On to overtime !!

[Brian]

GAUDIN!!

[CubmanPi]

Gaudin in to pitch finally!

 

Leadoff walk :?

If I had to pick one Cub in my ideal world to hit some sort of huge walk-off homer in the hypothetical NLCS or World Series, I'd probably pick Ramirez first (just because), but then probably Edmonds. An Edmonds walk-off, especially if it were a World Series game, would knock his Cardinals' NLCS homer down a few pegs, and I'd also like it for the sheer insanity of the circumstance.

 

Good to see Gaudin back. Bad to see him walking people.

[Guest]

I really want to see Gaudin on the playoff roster but he's got to start throwing strikes. We know how much Lou hates walks so if he keeps doing this I worry that Lou might think he's not healthy.

[Brian]

2 walks, 1 K, no hits. Not bad for returning from such a layoff.

[CubmanPi]

Len called it Wrigley North. Awesome.

[CubmanPi]

Also, I wonder if the Cubs have considered hiring Belushi as full-time stretch singer. They should.

[Master Shake]

I have to say that this group is (from the little Ive been able to see) playing some dang good ball.

[Fred Hornkohl]

yeah.... let's add on now !!

[Fred Hornkohl]

Well... that wasn't exactly what I had in mind..... but I'll take it. 5-1 CUBS

It's so much fun beating the Cards with a AAA/backup lineup in the game.

[Master Shake]

NIce.. Score on wild p[itch

Beating the Cardinals is so much fun anytime, any place, under any circumstances !!!

In other news, the Braves picked up a run in the seventh and have two so far in the bottom of the eighth to take a 5-4 lead over the Mets. Milwaukee won already so they would be 1.5 back if this result holds and the Phillies just started.

The HFA magic number would also fall to 2 if that held, I believe.

 

Three more outs from our JV beating the Cardinals again.

LOL, Bears lose!

[OleMissCub]

My ex's BF in to pitch for the 'Cards.

Magic number's already 2. If the Cubs win and the Mets lose, the Mets would be eliminated from HFA.

[expletive] up in the pen.

 

ETA - The word filter is awesome.

[CubmanPi]

All the minor leaguers have great games, and Howry serves up a leadoff double to the base of the wall to Flipe Lopez. Good to see a constant in this game after all.
