Outshined_One

I think last year had a bunch of people's top five ever. This one and the Rockies game were epic. I don't think any game will ever top the Mongo Game in the past 10 years, though. That was probably the craziest game I've ever seen. I'd also throw the 2004 11-10 victory over the Reds in 2004 that ended with Sosa and Alou going back to back into the pile.

This is one of my five favorite regular season games from the past 10 years.

What game are they showing since I don't get CSN all the way up here in Hickville, WI? The insane 2 out comeback in the 9th against the Brewers last year.

This game was during that stretch where I actually managed to get over my hatred for Jim Edmonds. I never thought he would do it, but he did it. Geo was fat then, too. GO!!!

Fake rally.

Great job Lee. Typical Cobs. :(

Theriot versus Torres...strike 1. God, WHY CAN'T THIS TEAM SCORE OFF THE BREWERS?!

The Jack Brickhouse program is pretty nifty. I was too young to have heard him, but I can see why he was such a great broadcaster.

Josh Vitters is clutch, hitting the game-winning single in the 10th.

That was excellent.

Nice sweatervests, guys.

I'm guessing that's what he means...but ears?

Hawk's got some baseball saying that either go way over my head or don't make any sense. "Theriot couldn't find the ears on that ball." ...what?

"One missed pitch..." "Well, one missed pitch and two fastballs right down the middle."

"Fly ball to deep left center." *Silence*

He's been insufferable about that ball called on Soriano. It's delightful.

Hindsight, 20/20, etc.

http://www.concurringopinions.com/archives/notdeadyet.jpg The Cubs think they'll go for a walk.

We...won? Seriously? Really? Wow. Cool. :thumbsup:

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand I'm off to take a nap.

Oh come on..lets not pretend he's the thing that's somehow keeping the Cubs from winning. He's a part of the problem...he's not THE problem. He's probably the biggest individual piece of the problem. Aramis Ramirez being out would take that honor. I'd also be willing to listen suggestions on whether we can consider Andres Blanco, Aaron Miles, and Mike Fontenot a single crappy 2B.

Oh come on..lets not pretend he's the thing that's somehow keeping the Cubs from winning. He's a part of the problem...he's not THE problem. Pretty much. However, you figure that a Hoffpauir/Fox platoon in LF wouldn't be a bad idea while Soriano gets his head screwed back on straight.

Game 1 of the Tennessee/Carolina DH delayed due to rain in the 10th. Colvin, Barney, and Wright all have HRs so far.

I hear a dog howling.
