[witty alias]

Oh nice Koyie Hill is on deck!

 

Should have batted for Miles.

[UMFan83]

Oh nice Koyie Hill is on deck!

 

Yup, because despite the fact that Kosuke has similar numbers against lefties and righties, Lou cannot PH a lefty vs. a lefty or a righty vs. a righty.

[NotSoSober]

Get him off the $%(#*@ team.

[Hawk4Hall]

Fitting. I officially hate you Miles.

[GlassCow]

I hate Miles more than the Cardinals.

[Keener98]

WOOOOOOO 8 in a row . Nice job tonight Demp and Lou.

[Butterscup1679666578]

the cubs will never, ever win again. 21-141.

[rynefan]

Chance for a walk off, and who has to be up? Freakin' Miles. That truly does sum it all up.

that really could not have gone better. The $5million man up with the game on the line....exactly what you wanted to see.

 

At least Fontenot/Fukudome got the night off

[UMFan83]

Why am I not pissed off or angered yet?

[Little Slide Rooter]

The season officially ends when were swept by the Pirates in our own house.

[InconspicuousZ28]

Who else is past angry and now at laughing?

 

I've been there since last year's playoff "run."

[Keener98]

Boy I love playing with a short bench every single game. I really wish this was a CSN game so I could hear Lou stutter in his own stupidity.

[manbearcub]

Why am I not pissed off or angered yet?

its starting to sink in.

[Little Slide Rooter]

Why am I not pissed off or angered yet?

 

You could be in a state of shock and disbelief leading to lack of emotion, as Lou is.

[rynefan]

Who else is past angry and now at laughing?

 

I've been there since last year's playoff "run."

 

In all seriousness I officially got there tonight, cracking up over the simple fact that Miles was up with the chance to win it

[cheapseats]

The season officially ends when were swept by the Pirates in our own house.

 

The season officially ended before it started. This offseason rivals the one pre-2006.

[rynefan]

Will Lou's post game be on anywhere?

[Little Slide Rooter]

Time to make examples of guys. Cotts should be first on the list, and the take your pick between Freel and Miles.
