6/30 Game Thread CUBS GO FOR SWEEP 1:20 WGN

[Bruno7481]

I hate Old Style Light radio commercials. They are truly awful and nothing close to funny.

 

Are they supposed ot be so stupid they're funny? They are very odd..

 

I just let the MLB.TV run on my computer at work, I swear it doesn't decrease my production any more than normal...

[justlikethecubs]

Lee grounds to double play.

 

Did we all boo him? :)

 

I boo'd Patterson for not getting to 2nd quicker. :)

[Coach C]

Nice call by the 3rd base umpire. It was indeed, foul.

 

And Miller gets a single.

What about the ones for Old Style?

 

Are they the same concept?

 

yes.

 

I took me a while to notice that some were for Old Style and some were for Old Style light.

 

And I agree that they're terrible.

[Omar]

Former Cub Damien Miller singles to right.

[goonys evil twin]

Wow, Jose Macias is the starting right fielder. That is sad. Although it's kind of funny that after Dusty finally sat Neifi, he had to insert one of his other pet projects into a spot he has no business occupying.

[Coach C]

Damn, that was close being gone.

 

It was a good effort by Corey to try to get that.

[Omar]

Junkins doubles..

[AI]

Looks like batting practice Maddux is in the house.

[JC]

It doesn't look like Maddux brought his $9M arm today.

[sethuel1]

thank god JJ Hardy is up.

[Omar]

eek!! Maddux doesnt have his stuff today.

[sethuel1]

thank god JJ Hardy is up.

 

i had to say it

[AI]

thank god JJ Hardy is up.

 

Sure about that?

 

More mental mistakes causing us to give up bases.

My assumption is they are trying to play off of Chicago's notorious provincialism, thinking the locals will be so excited to have their neighborhood mentioned, with little tid bits of local flavor, that they'll appreciate the ads.

[Flames24Rulz]

this game is not looking good at all.

 

as i say that, we turn 2.

[Tedward]

Well, two out of three ain't bad.

[JC]

Wow. Maddux is getting beaten like a pinata hanging from a rented mule standing on a dead horse.

[Coach C]

Sheesh...5-1 already.

 

*shaking head in pity*

[justlikethecubs]

we are going to need a few more solo shots to win this one.

There's a reason the brand is fading into oblivion ...

No its not bad, but actually going for the sweep when you are on a winning streak at home doesn't seem like a bad idea.

:lol: Interesting analogy
