10/13 Cardinals (Lackey) @ CUBS (HAMMEL), TBS, 3:37 CT

[Outshined_One]

I wish Ronnie was still here.

 

And Ernie.

 

And Harry.

What a game! Check the site everyday but haven't posted in years. Go Cubs!

Cincinnati born and raised, but I've been a Cubs' fan since the late 80's as WGN was my home after school almost every day. Listened to Harry and Steve (when he wasn't a d-bag) and fell in love with the team. Suffered through Will the Thrill in '89, Agon and Bako blowing it in '03, and the D-backs and Dodgers' Sweeps in '07/'08 (my son was born in 2008 so I mellowed a bit).

 

Am I missing something with Bako?

 

Welcome to the board also!

 

Bako's passed ball that let a Marlin (Pierre?) get to third. For some reason it's burned into my gourd. Much happier times now!

 

if were going to talk about 2003, I am going to bring up Pierre jumping out of the baseline, and we don't want that... trust me.

i have a cardinals fan living across the street from me. he noticed i had my cubs hat and shirt on this evening and he wouldn't make eye contact.

I remember seeing a long time ago someone made a radio highlight sequence from 03 or 04 and synced it with the 08 cubs highlights. Maybe someone whos skilled can do it again?

Imagine - if the Red Sox don't hilariously collapse in 2011, we probably don't end up with Theo. We probably wouldn't have a roster loaded with young dong smoths. We don't trade for Arrieta. This amazing playoff run so far probably doesn't happen.

 

Butterfly wings.

I've probably watched the replay of Schwarber's bomb like 30 times.

 

"What in the world?"

[Agony and Ivy]

Discovered this board 5 years ago when I moved to Chicago. I feel like it's a select group of friends that went through the dark times. I've missed only a handful of games in the las 15 or so years and finding this board made the 66 win seasons bearable and this collection of Cubs have made the wait worth it. Wish I could've stayed in Chicago but alas such is life. Tonight was awesome and the coming DongFest en route to the World Series will be more awesome and I look forward to all of our overreactions

Lurker post love you guys keep writing my feelings while I freak out during the games!

Toying around with sending out a mass email to anyone that ever registered with nsbb to come back and post during the nlcs.

 

What should the text be?

 

COME SEE OUR DONGS

[Old Style]

Man, this still feels like a dream. Wish my old man had lived to see this season. He'd be the happiest dude around.

STOP MAKING DONG RELATED PROMISES YOU HAVE NO INTENTION OF KEEPING

[BrockLanders]

lol all the other teams need 5 games, we're so above them

[Cubfanintheknow]

Found this quote rather interesting in a Chicago Tribune article. It's about the home run Lackey gave up to Baez:

 

"If I had that one pitch to go back, I would definitely do something different," Lackey said. "A pitch kind of out on the plate to a hacker, and he ran into it."

 

Interesting because in his post game comments, Baez said he figured Lackey would spot a fastball on the first pitch based on Lackey's hissy fit after giving up the hit to Hammel.

 

The "hacker" schooled you, Johnny!

Hahahahahahahah

That is delightful.

 

Someone should forward that to Deadspin.

Did anyone else's dad call them as soon as the game ended and talk for like 40 mins? :bananas:

[Guest]

What was that bar in Lincoln park that Theo was at with Rizzo

No, Mine's a White Sox and Pirates fan. I do not believe he wishes to speak happily of this

[TripJ]

Jeez.. think I've been here since '04, never was a super-active poster but I've checked this forum every day for over a decade. Wow.

There was only one other night in which I felt this pumped about a Cubs victory, especially against the Cardinals:
