Outshined_One

Maybe he was traumatized by his one night stand with the creepy Cards fan next to him who was trying to seduce him throughout Sunday night. :D

Considering Pie's bat is better suited for the middle of the order, this is true. And he could well get called up in 2007.

Lee also owns a shiny new contract from the Cubs. :D

This calls for Ice Cube's "It Was a Good Day". WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

I would like to point out that Murton is struggling, but Baker has yet to throw Mabry out there in his place.

Gotta hand it to Jones: At least he didn't graduate from the Todd Hundley school of public relations!

OMFG!!! I'm not the only one! ....however...I'm still not working on it. I have resigned myself to an all nighter. 6 page paper on a philosophical analysis of Fritz Lang's You Only Live Once on my end.

Cue Dusty Baker joke.

Rusch is a good hitter. Let's hope he gets revenge on Arroyo. :D

I concur Badger, I concur. Hey, what a coincidence! I agree too! :D

Great series, guys. This was a heck of a weekend of baseball! Thanks for being good sports. ;)

This is the first game in forever I can remember the Cubs actually winning a game like this. Let's go down the checklist: 1) Crappy starter handles the Cubs' offense? Check. 2) Umpire squeezing the Cubs' pitcher and giving plenty of calls to the Cardinals? Check. 3) Battle of the bullpens between the two teams? Check. 4) Division rival involved? Check. 5) Dusty makes a questionable move with his SP that resulted in runs? Check. Wow. Awesome game. Great series! :D

they way he charged Cedeno? that was absurd. Short summary: 1) His real name is Jared. 2) He can easily be nicknamed "Skippy". 3) He went to UCSB, which is one of the most beautiful campuses in the nation and a heck of a party school. CUBS WIN!

That and the fans were throwing all sorts of junk up into the air when both hit their respective HRs.

Taguchi-Luna-Rat Bastard (check yesterday's game thread for my opinion on Skippy) due up.

Insurance! Gee, I thought Molina was the best defensive catcher in baseball!

Isn't there new grass in Wrigley this season?

SWEEP! SWEEP! SWEEP!

I repeat:

I think the '06 Cardinals are the '05 Cubs in disguise.

Icing on the cake: Jock fouls the ball off the ump's mask. :lol:

Now is the time we dance! BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARE!!!!!!

Ball 2...was strike 3. Wow. Thank you, ump.

It's Bare Bare, not Jock Itch.
