9/8 Cubs (Zambrano) @ Giants (Lowry) 9:15 CT WGNTV

[ToupeeOnFire]

Who cares :shrug:

 

Dude, it's the drive for .500!

 

Am I the only one hoping the Cubs finish above .500? Yes, I know it hurts their draft position; and, yes, it gives Dusty an accomplishment to hang his hat on (thus increasing the likelihood of a contract extension); but I can't help it, I think it'd be an important accomplishment for this franchise to finish .500 or above for three consecutive seasons.

 

Call me crazy, call me kooky, call me an idiot for hoping for some ultimately insignificant accomplishment which could possibly have some undesirous long term consequences...but, damnit, I can't help myself.

12-3 in their last 15

[Laura]

Man I miss the days of 50 page game threads .

 

:(

 

The Cubs are 14-6 when the game page reaches 50 pages.

 

Hmmm, obviously, we should have picked it up during those distressing losing streaks. :-k

[muntjack]

If we had just won one game during each of our big losing streaks, we'd be right in it. Sigh.

[Laura]

RONNY! :D

 

And Len with some love for West Tenn.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Yay Ronny!

[ToupeeOnFire]

Nice play on D for Cedeno in the 1st and a base hit to lead off T3rd.

 

I was very skeptical about Cedeno and his batting average fueled production in AAA, but the kid looks like he belongs.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

RONNY! :D

 

And Len with some love for West Tenn.

 

And EPatt!

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Gah, he was safe!

 

And judging by Dusty shaking his head, Ronny is going to say hello to the bench for the next few games after that play.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Looked like Ronny was safe as the tag was on the back leg.

[Brian]

oh man you could just see dusty steam up after, what a jerk.

[muntjack]

Gah, he was safe!

 

And judging by Dusty shaking his head, Ronny is going to say hello to the bench for the next few games after that play.

 

If Neifi had done that, it would be " Come on, he was being aggresive, dude, trying to make things happen, man. He just got unlucky that the umpire made a bad call, dude."

[muntjack]

LOL, we're the second best road team in the N.L.

[Laura]

TOTALLY BOGUS CALL

 

 

Was dusty really looking steamed? Maybe he should wake up and go argue the call.

[ToupeeOnFire]

Yep, he had this downcast "rookie making an out at third confirms my preconceived notions" expression to him.

[abuck1220]

dusty's quotes about cedeno's baserunning practically write themselves.

[Chris]

I just e-mailed Len letting him know that the Jaxx won tonight as well!

Todd Walker's wife is hot. I like the slight southern twang.

 

Carry on.

[ToupeeOnFire]

Hairston with an Edmonds special!

(get a late jump, make a diving catch)

[Brian]

i loved the roll over arms and feet up in the air, and than the fist pump :lol:

[Laura]

Todd Walker's wife is hot. I like the slight southern twang.

 

Carry on.

 

She's a pretty good softball player, too.

Hairston always makes it interesting out there .... he's been able to make most of those catches, though.

To be fair, his jump wasn't really late. He just isn't as fast and graceful as, say, Corey Patterson. For Patterson, it would have been an over-the-shoulder grab.

Oh yeah, he was.

[Brian]

honestly if there is not an impact bat in both corner outfield spots and Murton is not there, we should start a lynch mob.

He but his head down, shook it a bit, and than sulked his shoulders down.
