Thankfully, Fox is saving us from having to hear Larry King sing.

Oops

[E.J.]

Ugh. Nevermind. Fox decided to give us the full Larry King treatment. He's starting to look like Mr. Burns.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Johnson homered to left field

[Outshined_One]

Reed Johnson is good.

[E.J.]

Reedbomb

[Cynosure]

There's a baseball game going on too, FOX.

 

That said, he at least said the words right: "I don't care if I NEVER get back."

 

REED JOHNSON

[NotSoSober]

Almost missed that HR cause Fox for some absurd reason decided to show Larry King sing the entire stretch. Bunch of idiots. Good day for Reed

[Cynosure]

Cubs do well on Fox... Cubs win 7-3.

 

That's too many runs by the Cobs...I'll cut it in half & say they win 3 1/2 - 3 (Cobs awarded 1 1/2 runs on a Dempster solo shot a/c such a miraculous thing happened)

 

GG

 

 

Although, I'll take more.

[Little Slide Rooter]

Who knew that the re-animated corpse of Larry King would be so inspiring to Reed.

Might as well let David Patton go out onto the mound the rest of the way to see if he'll crap his pants or not.

[David]

i'll guess jeff kent and ryne sandberg

[David]

and i guessed that before they said it, i swear

[E.J.]

Might as well let David Patton go out onto the mound the rest of the way to see if he'll crap his pants or not.

 

I'd say his arm is definitely rested enough to finish the game.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Last time the CUBS held the opponents to 3 hits in a game.... Tue 19 Aug 08 (3 hits) in a 5-0 win over Cincinnati at Wrigley

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Fred Hornkohl]

Leach in to pitch for Los Angeles

[TruffleShuffle]

i'll guess jeff kent and ryne sandberg

 

soriano and sandberg.

[third eye]

and i guessed that before they said it, i swear

 

My guess too, though I thought Kent might have gotten injured for half a season at some point to break the streak. How long has Utley been at it (before I check BR)?

[bhogg]

what was the question?
