[sandberg23]

And now Ramirez extends the lead to 2 again.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Dusty said "I'unno, I might get fired" :shock:

 

He said "I might get you fired" after Buck said "I'd get fired if I didn't ask you about Kerry Wood".

 

What are u all talking about?

 

Dusty was interviewed in the dugout, and that exchange happened.

[Chris]

Someone's signature on NSBB is getting higher :wink:

[Mizzou]

From Vineline:

 

Dempster was talking to Will Ferrell and was like "You know, I'd love it if you came into the clubhouse, because alot of guys would like to meet you or shake your hand or get your autograph or shower with you." Ferrell, not missing a beat, was like "I'd love to shower with some of you guys!"

[Schwarber Fan]

we are doing something right, the 3,4,5 hitters have HRs

[Blueheart05]

This just in...

 

Jerome is out pitching Morris (even with all his problems today).

 

6-4 Cubs

[MeatampPotatoesMan]

nice HR, ARam. :D

[Omar]

Holla grounds out.

[Coach C]

Missed it.

 

Good hustle to try to beat it out though Holla.

[Jon]

Upon a quick glance, it looked like the men in white lab coats were finally escorting McCarver away.

[Chris]

NSBB needs to land Dempster to a Q & A, it would be absolutely hilarious

That's one of the greatest things I've ever read.

Now if we can just find a way to keep the Cards from "pecking away" at these leads!!! I get very uncomfortable with teams that keep finding ways to stay close inning after inning.

 

Too many times they find a way to finish us off in dramatic fasion at the end of the game!

 

I can't watch the game, so who's gonna come in for Williams soon?

[E.J.]

Larussa says Rolen and Sanders will probably be out until beginning of September.

 

In other news, Neifi really sucks.

[Omar]

Neifi pops out. 2 down.

[Schwarber Fan]

Hornkohl, whats the Cubs record when hitting 3 homers??

No, both of you. Please.

Yeah, I know. From the tone of this game thread, you'd swear the Cubs were getting beaten 10-0. Weird.

 

Go Cubs!

[Fred Hornkohl]

Hornkohl, whats the Cubs record when hitting 3 homers??

 

CUBS are 11-3 when they hit 3 or more home runs.

 

Go CUBS !!

Thanks! We really need our bullpen to carry us through this! Yesterday was a really tough loss and with Pujols, Sanders and Rolen out we have no reason not to take 2 out of 3 from these guys! Good teams make teams having injury problems pay for those problems! It's time we become a "good" team here!!
