It's really weird to hear Pat call the game on TV. He seems to be in radio mode still, saying 'and here's the 1-0 pitch' and announcing the score of the game several times even though the WGN graphic is up there.

[Soul]

We got a ballgame here.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Vitters with 3 walks in his last two games.

 

Unless he gets another PA or more with extra innings, Brett Jackson finishes the season with a 41.5% K-rate in 142 MLB PAs.

 

The two combined to hit 247/269 in their callup.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

We got a ballgame here.

 

The bullpen's final gift.

Just the way the season started, sans giving a [expletive].

[Guest]

A Starlin walkoff would be great.

[Careless]

I'm watching on a delay now, in the top of the 8th. Did the same guy wearing an A's jacket and possibly a Cardinals hat get both home run balls? edit: Stanford cap?

 

And that slide to end the top of the 8th was hilarious.

[Schwarber Fan]

Well, I'm just going to enjoy that, dammit.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

I need Fred to come tell us how many times the Cubs have ended seasons with walk-of wins.

[UMFan83]

The Cubs are kings of these warm fuzzy "I know we lost 90+ games, but we won on a walk off on the last game of the season to remind me why I love the Cubs" moments.

[UMFan83]

Well, I'm just going to enjoy that, dammit.

 

Wait, are you allowed to enjoy the Cubs?

[rocket]

we should be able to carry this momentum into next season

DAMN YOU. And damn that terrible, terrible song for making me want to weep.

 

I hate the end of the season.

[illiniguy]

Thank god this season is over. I wish we could fast forward one more year.

[UMFan83]

Interesting quote from Soriano after the game:

 

"I wish this could be the No. 8 year on my contract so i can retire today. There’s two more years left."

[El Duderino]

wtf?

[illiniguy]

wtf?

I think his legs are really bothering him.

Should be interesting to see if he has any surgeries done this offseason or takes a "trip" to Germany to see Kobe's guy

[El Duderino]

He'll play with no knee caps to make 36 more mil.

He knows he can retire anyway, doesn't he? SOMEONE TELL HIM YOU CAN RETIRE WHILE UNDER CONTRACT.

[Sammy Sofa]

YEAH, THEY SURE NEED TO FIND MORE MONEY TO NOT SPEND.
