8/29 Mets (Parnell) vs. Cubs (Dempster) 3:10 CT, FOX

[Schwarber Fan]

Well I never expected to start 2 game threads in a row, but here it is and here's to hoping we can win a series for the first time since the AAA Pirates were in town.

Bobby Parnell is from my hometown of Salisbury, NC and went to HS with my wife. I'll still be hoping the Cubs destroy him, but another inept offensive attempt wouldn't sting as bad either.

[Little Slide Rooter]

Im officially back to where I was pre 2003 where I'll just sit back and watch the games and not worry about the standings or post season implications. Hopefully next year I can get out that state of mind.

[Magdal]

Cubs win yesterday and Fla, Atl and Col all lose. Wake me up!

 

Now the Giants have pulled even with the Rocks and both are creeping up on L.A. who has come back to earth. That race is gonna be a dogfight to the end.

 

I don't know about that Eastern race...I just hope they play the Phils a lot in September!

[laurens]

This dude's ERA as a starter is over 8. Please win Cubs

[coldsteel]

Yay! Buck and McCarver will be in town to enlighten us about the Cubs. Now the Cubs HAVE to win.

[haubrich91]

No reason we should lose this game. Stay hot, our controversial corner outfielders!

Please. They won't have much time for that. Pujols hit a walkoff homer last night.

From the one and only, Carrie Muskat.

 

Alfonso Soriano is getting an MRI, and Aramis Ramirez was given the day off Saturday, so the lineup includes the "F Troop" of Fox, Fukudome and Fontenot.

 

SS Theriot

RF Bradley

1B Lee

LF Fox

CF Fukudome

2B Fontenot

3B Baker

C Hill

P Dempster

[laurens]

Theriot at leadoff makes me want to punch things (definitely if fuku's in that same line-up)

[Cubswin11]

FREE GEO!!!

 

(There is no reason to be playing Hill if Soto is healthy. Hill is what he is and we all know what Soto is capable of)

[Schwarber Fan]

Walkoff PH HR by Ramirez today sparks the run to the 2009 wildcard crown!!

[Moon Rock]

Baker went to the hospital to get an MRI on his finger which he hurt during BP. I guess Aramis might be starting at 3rd.

MLB.com says Aramis is starting.

[coldsteel]

So hard to decide. Cubs game? Or White Sox post-game call-in show?

[haubrich91]

I don't know why I'm so excited for this game. It in HD pretty much helps that, I guess.

HD's all good, up until Tim McCarver shows his face.

[illiniguy]

Man I can't wait to tell my kids I saw Albert Pujols. :rotfl: Nice commercial. I so hope he gets caught juicing.

[Garwilly]

5.5 back after today

 

GO get em.

[haubrich91]

Him running on the tarp was pretty sweet. :P

[laurens]

Strikes pls

[Garwilly]

Oh, and Mets hate was engrained in me from a very young age.

[Garwilly]

The wife and I headed down for the Cubs' wives food drive. Got two autographed Fukudome photos, and one each of Marshall and Gregg.

[illiniguy]

Ryan Dempster is crap.

[haubrich91]

Well that blows.
