  1. Oh, good heavens. Omar Infante batting cleanup? :-& I don't care that the Brewers are down now, I can't see the Braves putting up nine innings of resistance. I'm going to go ahead and assume that they'll be 4 GB to create some suspense. What's the word on Chipper? Will the two weeks be enough to get his hamstring in shape for the Cubs' series?
  2. Feels like the equivalent of leading a football game on a bunch of 3-yard runs, a couple key defensive penalties, and five FGs. But at least they're cashing in something.
  3. Sweet. That'll help with PC, at least.
  4. An occasional first-pitch strike would be nice, Ted. Let's give it a try, eh?
  5. I hate when the opponent's pitcher is locating his pitches, and the Cubs' can't to save his life. Makes for very frustrating viewing.
  6. Brandon Moss with the first entry for today's Ryan Braun dive-no-catch award.
  7. Weak, lazy floater went about 80 feet... Theriot tried to play it bare-handed on one bounce going to his right, but with the spin and all, he didn't come up with it. Brenly (and I) thought he had plenty o' time to glove it and throw out Maholm. Weak play.
  8. Losing the occasional Marquis start is no great sin--as long as the Cubs win today and tomorrow. And honestly, when the schedules came out, this is the one series that scared me more than any other. You must always fear and respect the Pirates.* Go Cubs! * This is my humble offering to the baseball gods.
  9. I shall not rest until the Pirates are 15.5 games back. You may proceed.
  10. Please post it if you have it handy. :wink:
  11. Cubs not too shabby within the division of late! Will be 6 of 7 in our last two series vs. the Cards and Brewers, and ohsoclose to 7 of 7. With Harden in the fold, Sori back, Shark showing flashes, and eventually ( ) Wood, I expect a little more consistency going forward against the rest of the league. We should be OK.
  12. If it is to be done, best to do it when they're not waiting for it. Let it linger in their minds for some of the remaining games later this season.
  13. CSN really needs to give Plesac a better broom. That was weak.
  14. I like being 4 games clear of 2nd. Has a nice feeling to it, kinda roomy but fits well. :D
  15. THREE IN A ROW!!! Harden for the sweep!
  16. Dang! It's all those stupid little breaks the Brewers always get that has them on the verge of taking three straight. (Or not.)
  17. I wouldn't be opposed to unveiling the RiotSlam right here.
  18. Batters should be disciplined for not going hard out of the box on anything hard to LF. There's a high wall out there, take nothing for granted.
  19. This might be one of my favorite series of all time It is our "World Series", you know. ;)
  20. Even Bruce joins the party!! Does it get any better than this??? Great to see you Bruce! I suppose Z could check in from the mound every now and then Reed!
