o i am going down there with my sort of kind of gf... and we will get tickets

[TapNorris]

o i am going down there with my sort of kind of gf... and we will get tickets

Sorry, this is the first thing I thought of:

Jerry: Well, how long you've been seeing her. What's your phone call frequency? Are you on a daily?
George: No. Semi-daily. Four or five times a week.
Jerry: What about Saturday nights? Do you have to ask her out, or is a date implied?
George: Implied.
Jerry: She got anything in your medicine cabinet?
George: There might be some moisturizer.
Jerry: Ah hah. Let me ask you this. Is there any Tampax in your house?
George: Yeah.
Jerry: Well, I'll tell you what you've got here.
George: What?
Jerry: You got yourself a girlfriend.
George: Ah, no, no. Are you sure? A girlfriend?
Jerry: I'm looking at a guy in a semi-daily with Tampax in his house and an implied date on Saturday night. I would like to help you out, but...
George: Would you believe my luck? The first time in my life I have a good answer to the question, "What do you do?" and I have a girlfriend. I mean, you don't need a girlfriend when you can answer that question. That's what you say in order to get girlfriends. Once you can get a girlfriend, you don't want a girlfriend, you just want more girlfriends.
Jerry: You're going to make a good father someday

You are a dirtbag.

[devilandthelord]

You are a dirtbag.

:lol brotherly love.

[UCFish]

You are 21 posts aways from a pretty big post there.

[devilandthelord]

You are 21 posts aways from a pretty big post there.

19. :evil

I know, I've started to notice that in the last few days.
My post count has soared in the last few months. First job I've had where I sit in front of a computer most of the time.

[UCFish]

I can only imagine how much more productive I would be if I never was on Ants at work.

[devilandthelord]

I can only imagine how much more productive I would be if I never was on Ants at work.

Haha, yeah definitely.
But that's not always the story with me. See I pretty much wait for people to bring me work at my job. So there can be times where I'm so busy I don't even have time to go get food for lunch. Then there's other times when I'm so slow I won't have anything very important to do for hours on end. Like right now, and that downtime is where thousands of my posts have come from. I would estimate only about 20% of my posts have been from home.
I like my job. :lol

[TapNorris]

I can only imagine how much more productive I would be if I never was on Ants at work.

Me too. I've got plenty of work to do, but it's not really pressing right now. Soooooooo, procrastination is the name of the game for me....I have a few threads I post in, but I mostly just like to read about all the problems people have. :lol

Procrastination is great. Then every once in a while I just work really hard and blow everything out of the water.

[devilandthelord]

:thumbsup Short bursts.
Fuck working hard all the time.

[devilandthelord]

Fuck guys, why are we talking about work?
The game's about to start!

[TapNorris]

Alright boys, let's get a W!!

[TapNorris]

Damn! I took Edmonds out of my fantasy lineup for today because the O's were going to start a lefty. Now they're throwing a righty and Jimmy's playing....meh, I guess that's a good thing.

[TapNorris]

How did the Orioles d-bags get the seats behind the plate?!?! AGAIN, reminds me of Seinfeld!! :lol

[Bluecow2]

Ramirez is hella hot.

[TapNorris]

http://www.youtube.com/user/mycubseason2008


A guy is video taping all things Cubs during this 2008 season. He's got footage from inside Wrigley and around the ballpark. Cool idea. I wish I would have had the time, and the means, to do something like this when I was living there.

[TapNorris]

Ramirez is hella hot.

Hopefully he can stay that way through the weekend.

[Tiduwho]

Good start.

[Bluecow2]

Honestly, 1 win this weekend would pacify me, just to shut Sox fans up for a year.

Ughh...Lilly annoys me.

[bothedmbfan]

Pixies rule...so do the Cubs.

[UCFish]

Lilly stop giving up home runs please.

[devilandthelord]

Sacks packed with Cubs!

[TheMakerDMB17]

i got kicked out of this other forum i was in for saying "cubs suck dick."

its all your guys fault

[UCFish]

Lilly walks a batter after being ahead 0-2. Thats not good.

[devilandthelord]

i got kicked out of this other forum i was in for saying "cubs suck dick."

its all your guys fault

Well I would kick you in the dick if you said that to me in person. :evil

[UCFish]

:lol

[41ravens]

fuck this payton guy.

[UCFish]

No Fuck Lilly. Make adjustments.

[TapNorris]

I think Lilly should just walk Payton from now on....even if the bases are loaded.

[devilandthelord]

Another Lilly HR makes it closer.

Sweet.

[UCFish]

Edmonds gone.

Gocubsgo claims he is not bad luck! Watch it all derail.

[devilandthelord]

For the good of the Cubs I now make my 10,000th post in the Cubs thread.

I hereby break any curses that have plagued the Cubs over the last 100 years.

Now, no curse can stop the Cubs from winning that series which shall not be named.

It is solely on their shoulders.

Go Cubs Go!

[JaJunk]

Should be 8-4

[UCFish]

Yep Lou should give Fontenodt an earful for that. We have base coaches for a reason.

Good inning by Lilly!

Lets get some more runs. Payton will probably bat next inning and hit a HR.

[devilandthelord]

[devilandthelord]

Now who's gonna finish this game out?

[devilandthelord]

2 men on, nobody out.

[UCFish]

Quick 2 strike outs and now Lilly. Not making it hurt.

Boo.

[UCFish]

Mike and Mike were good in the box. I enjoyed that.

[UCFish]

Great outing for Marmol.

And I am talking to myself.

[devilandthelord]

Yay, Marmol got it back!

:multi

[devilandthelord]

Great outing for Marmol.

And I am talking to myself.

Sorry I was busy with work. :lol

[devilandthelord]

Ya know, a part of me still hates to admit it.

But Edmonds is playing great for us.
If he keeps it up, Hendry will look like a genius for picking him up.

[TapNorris]

Mike and Mike were good in the box. I enjoyed that.

Yeah, they're good tv (and radio). :D I'm surprised they hadn't ever done the stretch before.

[UCFish]

Sorry I was busy with work. :lol

Work...boo

[devilandthelord]

Work...boo

I know right? Whats up with that?
Leave me alone, assholes!
Pay me to go on antsmarching all day!

[TapNorris]

I know right? Whats up with that?
Leave me alone, assholes!
Pay me to go on antsmarching all day!

That's pretty much what I got paid for today.

[UCFish]

Why after three walks do you swing at the first pitch.

[TapNorris]

Is it me or does the Orioles manager look like Shatner?

[UCFish]

That's pretty much what I got paid for today.

:lol

[devilandthelord]

Kerry needs to strike out Jay Payton to shut that bitch up!

[devilandthelord]

Yessss!!!

[UCFish]

Cubs Win!!!!

[devilandthelord]

And Kerry Wood strikes out the side to get the save!

Can we now say that KWood has this closing thing on lockdown?

He is the man now!

Cubs win! Cubs win!

[UCFish]

Guess I should be glad we did score any more runs so I can get a save from Woody on my fantasy team.

[DMBZeppelin]

And Kerry Wood strikes out the side to get the save!

Can we now say that KWood has this closing thing on lockdown?

He is the man now!

Cubs win! Cubs win!
After seeing Marmol struggle, I don't think anyone can argue Kerry Wood was the correct choice for closer. He has a 2.50 ERA with 20 saves.

[devilandthelord]

Guess I should be glad we did score any more runs so I can get a save from Woody on my fantasy team.

:thumbsup me too!

[devilandthelord]

After seeing Marmol struggle, I don't think anyone can argue Kerry Wood was the correct choice for closer. He has a 2.50 ERA with 20 saves.

I have complete confidence in him right now. I think his transformation to closer is complete.
He's even got that look in his eyes now when he gets the call in from the bullpen like "Give me the ball. I'm gonna strike these fuckers out and we're going home with a win!"
He's mean and nasty, works fast. I love it.

[devilandthelord]

I like it so much, I change my avatar to him!

However I am not gocubsgo. So don't worry.
I broke the curse, remember?

[clayj41]

Back to our winning ways!!! :multi

[UCFish]

:lol

[Bron Yr Aur]

i dont think we should have pinch hit last night for edmonds or patterson.. Just my opinion....

Anyone in Chicago trying to go to the game tonihgt??

Terrible decisions. Sure, the pitcher was a bout .020 worse OBA against righties, but Murton still doesn't have an extra base hit all year, and Edmonds is swinging the hot bat right now.

Whatever, made up for it tonight. Ted Lilly is becoming more and more consistent. 4 runs is not bad for a night like tonight at Wrigley. Nice to see Marmol and Woody really dominate tonight. Kerry was just blowing the straight heat by those guys. Electric stuff, tonight.

[DMBCubs25]

Cards lose, cubs go back up 4.5 also a brewers loss puts us 6 up on them , pretty good day for us

[Tiduwho]

All game I was looking for a guy sitting with a nice girl that he's hooking up with but doesn't want to date because he wants to hook up with some other chicks too...but, I couldn't narrow it down to you, there were just too many. :lol

[devilandthelord]

Lets go Cubs!
Lets go Cubs!

[HolyCow]

Cubs.

[darbini]

Go.



Back to 20 games over .500, I thought they would be further ahead by now, this is ridiculous, they need to step it up, they need to turn it up to 11!:rolleyes

[TapNorris]

Just about game time! Let's go Cubbies!!!

If you see a few fat guys in the bleachers today with "YOSH" painted on their chests, the smaller of the fat guys is a co-worker of mine. Great day to be shirtless in the bleachers!

[SqueeBaBooSquee]

Damnit. I haven't even gone to a game yet this year.

I'm really slacking. I miss Wrigley field.

[TapNorris]

I love the "Golden Girls" theme being played during Yosh's tribute. That's awesome!!

[UCFish]

Gotta go to lunch so I can can watch Cubs game.

I worked really hard this morning to not be bothered and watch the game.

[TapNorris]

I'm daddy daycare today so I haven't had work get in the way of my Ants reading and Cubs watching....just a dirty-diapered and hungry little girl (and I like her much better than work :D ).

[darbini]

arrgh

[Mario82288]

I'm going to St. Louis over the 4th, I have tickets to Busch to see 2 out of the 3 games. Can't wait to see the Cubbies in enemy territory!

[TapNorris]

Fucking Marquis!!!!!

[TapNorris]

Fucking Marquis!!!!!

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

[UCFish]

Damn it. That hurt.

[UCFish]

Just like that 5 runs are in.

FUCK

All with 2 outs.

[JaJunk]

Just like that 5 runs are in.

FUCK

All with 2 outs.

It's how Marquis rolls. Every fucking time he is on the mound he gives up the big inning.

edit: I have a feeling we are going to score lots of runs this game and take home the series. Just a hunch.

[dmbphan07]

ouch....


:thumbsup


haha sorry to jump in this thread but no one will comment if i put anything in the o's thread. plus, i'm sure by the end of the game the cubs will have scored 5 so its definitely not over

[UCFish]

Not good

[TapNorris]

I would personally like to kick Marquis in the nuts, HARD, several times. Maybe that would make him a better pitcher.....fucking jack-off.

[devilandthelord]

Dammit! Is gocubsgo at this game too!?!

[DMBtheStoned]

We need to get rid of Marquis..

[TapNorris]

I don't like letting Marquis hit here....we're down 7 fucking runs!!!!

[TapNorris]

Brutal! It's like our offense thinks it's still playing in Florida!

[41ravens]

wow. fuck this game.

[UCFish]

We need to get rid of Marquis..

He has been good lately. I won't knock someone for one bad start.

I don't think my brother is at the game but if he was it would make sense.

[UCFish]

Brutal! It's like our offense thinks it's still playing in Florida!

:lol

[TapNorris]

The plate ump just got shitty....

[TapNorris]

Seriously, WTF!!

[devilandthelord]

Not only have we given up 8 runs unanswered, some guy I've never heard of with an ugly chick's first name (Liz) for a last name is shutting us out.

[JaJunk]

This shit will happen when you are playing without TWO all-star starters and put out a less than average pitcher to start the game. Injuries are really starting to pop up.

[UCFish]

Yeah his strike zone just got ridiculous. Thing about it that is bullshit is Marquis' ball four pitch in the third was much closer to being a strike than that crap Patterson was out on and if it was called a strike in the 4 the inning would have been over and the rally would never have happened.

Kill the ump time.

At least Detroit tied it in the bottom of the 9th.

[TapNorris]

There was some nice boobage in today's Fan Cam.

[UCFish]

Time to forefeit.

And yes it was.

[TapNorris]

Ok, it's time for the season's biggest comeback!!.....oh yeah, and Worst sucks!!

[jojo04]

This isnt getting any better

[UCFish]

Cards lose on a bases loaded walk.

At least we are getting blown out.

They blew the lead in the ninth and lost in the tenth.

This is at least comical at this point.

[TapNorris]

Taking this Liz guy out right here just shows how much of a crap pitcher he really is...and we made him look great. Ticks me off!!!

[dmbphan07]

Arbitrary stat of the day:
Cubs have been competitive in 43 straight games since losing 9-0 on 5/7.
29 wins
8 losses by 1 run
3 losses by 2 runs
1 loss by 3 runs
2 losses by 4+ runs, but were tied or lead in the 7th.


:rolleyes

[TapNorris]

:rolleyes

Nobody asked you.

[dmbphan07]

Nobody asked you.


:lol

[DMBCubs25]

Marquis = garbage

[TapNorris]

Gotta love Yosh!!

[TapNorris]

Boy, Murton hit the piss out of that one. :rolleyes

Edit: Damn Ginger!

[devilandthelord]

Even a blind squirrel....

[jojo04]

Marquis = garbage


Are you kidding me? Who would pinch run for us if we didn't have Marquis?

[devilandthelord]

Damn why did we use so many pitchers today?
If the starting pitcher gives up 7 runs, during which time we score none, I think we should leave a guy like Lieber or someone in for a while afterwards.
If we've got little shot of winning the game, there's no sense in tiring out the bullpen for the next few games.

[41ravens]

this next stretch is gonna be brutal. @sox for 3, @giants for 4, @cards for 3. the giants suck, but just having to go to cali for 4 games then come back to play stl for 3 is gonna suck.

[devilandthelord]

Hmm, you're right. That is a rough stretch.
Especially without Z and Fonzie.

Just gotta play well and persevere. We'll see.

[UCFish]

I am going to 2 of the games next week.

Horseshit though that I am out of town for the first and last game.

[devilandthelord]

I am going to 2 of the games next week.

Horseshit though that I am out of town for the first and last game.

You must bring a sing for this thread!

At least one of the games. :)

[UCFish]

I will and rock it in Club Level.

I love the hotels tickets.

And the fact that they are free.

[SqueeBaBooSquee]

What a fucking sad offensive display.

We swept the fuckin White Sox and we lose a series to the Orioles?

wtf.

[SqueeBaBooSquee]

* also I never realized exactly how short Yosh was.

I mean WOW! lol

[devilandthelord]

Did you guys see Mike and Mike singing "Take Me Out to the Ballgame"?

If you didn't watch it on tv, like myself, here it is. Along with the first pitch.

http://sports.espn.go.com/broadband/video/videopage?videoId=3461219&categoryId=2850689&n8pe6c=2

[davehead86]

Mike and Mike were great. Todays game, not so much. We are really gonna have to step it up in the offense department if we are gonna beat the wsox and the cards.

Obvious statment, if we score early we are doing fine, if we fall behind early it goes down hill quickly. Seems like the comeback kids cant come back as easily. But what do you expect with bases loaded with 1 out 3 different times and nothing happening.

[davehead86]

An actual question here: What is going on with ownership? Have we heard anything new? Cuban?

[DMBnick15]

You guys ready for the series next week? go cards! i get to go to the game on the fourth, should be fun.

[gocubsgo3822]

what up guys sad loss really depressing... oh well we will get the sox tomorrow we will be more rested than they will be...

[devilandthelord]

ANybody going to the game tomorrow?

Anybody got tix they wanna sell me?

[bothedmbfan]

We all lose badly to teams, I'm just glad it was B-More. I mean, if it had to be anyone, why not the Orioles?

Anyways, Cards lost, so who cares?

[handal]

We all lose badly to teams, I'm just glad it was B-More. I mean, if it had to be anyone, why not the Orioles?

It's not the Cards you should be worried about, it's the hottest team in baseball over the last month+ : the Brewers!!

And guess what, we're going to get CC Sabathia. Enjoy 1st place while it lasts...

[bothedmbfan]

We'll worry about you when the Cards stop being relevant. However, what're you doin in here buddy? And how do you kno you're getting CC? The Tribe are asking for a fuckload (4 players) for CC, so don't be so sure.

[handal]

I like to come in every once in a while and just remind everyone of the little team that could from up north.

The Brewers farm system is loaded with talent, and both our owner and GM realize that adding a guy like CC this season could very well put us in position for a great run. Being so young at the top level, we can afford to give up some prospects without hurting the future.

[bothedmbfan]

I wish you guys luck, but I think we'll survive.

[handal]

I wish you guys luck, but I think we'll survive.

I can't wait for the 2 September series', should be pretty intense!

[TapNorris]

Go!!

[TapNorris]

Go!!

Cubs Go!!

Crosstown II is about to start.....where the hell is everyone?!?!

[davehead86]

In front of the TV, which is where I am moving. 36 inches of glory :hump

[TapNorris]

In front of the TV, which is where I am moving. 36 inches of glory :hump

Good start, FUK!!

[TapNorris]

Lou's got a filling problem.

[TapNorris]

Lou's got a filling problem.

[davehead86]

Ok, I have moved, and will probably be in here and watching TV.

Wow, the announcers at "The beautiful Cellular Field" S-U-C-K

[davehead86]

These double plays are killing us. It has been consistent over the last few games. Innings over in the blink of an eye b/c of the double play. BOOOO

[TapNorris]

I've got Len and Bob on. I don't think I'd be able to stand those homers hawk and dj today.

Why won't D Lee stop grounding in to DP's?!?!?!?!!?

[davehead86]

Thank you for telling me that. I did not know that it was being double broadcast. THANK GOD. I love Len and Bob.

[TapNorris]

Come on Patterson.

[davehead86]

Ok, Patterson is new and I get it, but still, he acts lazy out there sometimes.

[TapNorris]

Another run that's attributed to a Patterson mistake.

[davehead86]

Great :BANG

[davehead86]

Another run that's attributed to a Patterson mistake.

So yeah its like having Soriano out there but no runs produced by him.

[TapNorris]

That was an ugly DP, but it got the job done.

[Tiduwho]

Win...win...win! Now.

[devilandthelord]

I hope Edmonds is ok, we can't afford to lose him. At least not until fonzie gets back.

[devilandthelord]

Thank God they have the Cubs broadcasters on this time.

Oh and bases loaded for Derek Lee!!!

[devilandthelord]

:BANG What is with us sucking dick with the bases loaded lately?

The pressure is on the pitcher guys! C'mon not the other way around!

[TapNorris]

Seriously D Lee, WHAT THE FUCK!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

[TapNorris]

D Lee is well on his way to having the MLB record for DPs in a season. You're fucking better than that D Lee!!!! That was his fucking 19th on the year....that's brutal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[TapNorris]

I'm tired of looking at Fontenot too.

[TapNorris]

Your lineup today, Lou, is absolute HORSESHIT!!!!!

[TapNorris]

Piss!!!!!!

[TapNorris]

I appear to be talking with myself.

[DMBZeppelin]

Well it looks like Eric Patterson's defense might claim a 2nd game. Why is he still getting playing time? He's a horrible left fielder.

[davehead86]

Wow, we need to get our shit straight.

[TapNorris]

Shitty throw by Patterson. I'm done with him.

[DMBZeppelin]

Shitty throw by Patterson. I'm done with him.
Done with the guy who earlier this game over ran a ball? Or the guy who calls off infielders who are camped under balls? If you need his bat that badly, DH him and put Murton in left.

[TapNorris]

I can't believe Kasper just said we miss Soriano on defense....but it's the truth.

[davehead86]

We are never gonna hear the end of this if the sox win today. Itll be all over the place and theres no telling a sox fan that we still swept your ass a week ago.

[TapNorris]

Done with the guy who earlier this game over ran a ball? Or the guy who calls off infielders who are camped under balls? If you need his bat that badly, DH him and put Murton in left.

I'd rather have D Ro in left over The Ginger.

Edit: By the way, I'm done with both of those guys.


SAFE?!?!?!?!?!

[davehead86]

Done with the guy who earlier this game over ran a ball? Or the guy who calls off infielders who are camped under balls? If you need his bat that badly, DH him and put Murton in left.

Yeah why isnt Murton in. The red head is good.

I can't believe Kasper just said we miss Soriano on defense....but it's the truth.

:lol I thought the same thing.








Shitty 3rd base call.

[davehead86]

I am not even going to justify this game to my self. Its off. Ill see you guys later, hopefully they pull out a miracle win.;

[SmoothD41]

patterson is a joke....dempster is pitching like an asshole.

edit: grandslam....pitching like a HUGE asshole. 2.1 IP, 7 H, 8 ER, 3 BB, K

Dumpster'd.

[davehead86]

WTF, only classless southsiders would have the "Hey Hey Goodbye" song with a pitcher leaving. Fuck that. CLASSLESS, id rather loose to the fucking cardnials.

[DMBZeppelin]

Words can not express how much I hate this. We're going to go from 4th in ERA to the middle of the pack. I doubt the White Sox are done scoring, we have to stop getting blown out. Though it doesn't help when Patterson is your left fielder.

To go along with what Kasper said, not only is Soriano better on defense. NO ONE runs on Soriano. How many runs would he have saved today with the threat of his arm?

[TapNorris]

WTF, only classless southsiders would have the "Hey Hey Goodbye" song with a pitcher leaving. Fuck that. CLASSLESS, id rather loose to the fucking cardnials.

You've seen the people who sit in the stands at the "Cell Out". These are the fans that jumped out of the stands to beat on a first base coach and a second time they beat on an umpire. Of course they're classless. It's a white trash fan base. The southside is just full of trash!

Edit: Ok, I may have gone too far...but I'm pissed.

[Sou1 So1di3r]

jesus fuck. and the dish signal just went out. fuck

[TapNorris]

Where is gocubsgo? He's been absent the last two games and we've gotten our asses kicked. We need him on these boards.

[MistreatedLewis]

Where is gocubsgo? He's been absent the last two games and we've gotten our asses kicked. We need him on these boards.

Hanging out with his tranny friends?

[devilandthelord]

Mother God what has happened?

[DMBZeppelin]

THANK GOD! Cedeno knows Patterson sucked, so he took care of it himself.

Edit: ANOTHER GREAT STOP! I've always loved Cedeno's range. His fielding was bad at times, but I haven't seen any problems with it since early last year.

[DMBZeppelin]

Back to back jacks, nice. All we need is for Contreas to remain in for the next 7 batters.

[TapNorris]

Hanging out with his tranny friends?

:confused Is this some sort of cool socialist saying?

no he said in the gay marriage thread he has a tranny friend or something.

My God man, you're going to a lot of shows this summer. I don't think I've ever looked at your sig. :thumbsup for you.

The main downside besides being completely broke, is missing out on the games. I was at SPAC last weekend and missed the first two Cubs/Sox game. Then I drove 13 hours home right after Night 2, so I could actually go to the Sunday night game. Had it been a day game I would of had to sell my tickets.

I wanted to try and go to the Bears/Colts opener, but I'll be at Night 3 of Berkeley (tour closer). So I plan on recording it, and avoiding anything and everything that would give me the score. Then I'll watch it Monday morning.

My wife and I did the last 8 shows of last years tour (and then hit Cubs/D-Backs game 1 on the way back home). It was a good time, but exhausting. If you're looking for places to pre-show in Omaha let me know. I can point you to some good bars/grills/restaurants/whatever.

Edit: You had one good weekend last week too. Two greats shows and Sunday night baseball at Wrigley...hard to beat that.

How's the Qwest Center actually? I'm sitting Section 125, Row 18. I've looked at different seating charts and some say I'm right on the side of the stage. Others make it seem like I'm to the side, but still in front of the stage. Just wondering if overall it's a good venue.

Ya main reason me and the g/f decided on Denver was because of guest possibilites. Both Mayer and the Roots have guested in the past, and we figured what the heck lets hit up Omaha on the way home.

So the Denver show is on the 20th, and we'll leave for Omaha on the 21st. So ya, any times on places to go would be awesome. The only thing I know about that city is the College World Series.

I would have gone into depression if we had lost Sunday night. I needed that win to make everything worth it. Because we had a second night at the hotel we were at. I could have easily said screw it, and went to bed. I was 3rd row of the left field bleachers. I was probably on T.V. during every fly ball to Patterson.

You should be fine in 125. You'll just be looking at their sides...but you're high enough in the section that you'll be able to see everything.

The Old Market is the area of bars and restaurants within walking distance of Qwest...maybe a 5 to 10 minute walk. There's a group of us in the Omaha thread that may be heading to a bar/grill called The Mattress Factory, which is about two blocks straight out from the front doors of the arena. PM me closer to the show date and I can give you details on other places around the area.

Sweet, and I will. If nothing else, I'll always have Sonic. We don't have any where I live. Any time I head out west I love to stop there.

[Tiduwho]

Was just out in Colorado and went to Sonic for the first time in my life. After seeing commercials every day even though there isn't one within 200 miles. Not bad.

Ya I've never understood the constant advertising of the Chicago-land area. Build one first.

[bothedmbfan]

Sonic has the best/worst advertising campaign ever. They make great food, and great commercials, sadly, they advertise in areas where there isn't a Sonic to be found for 200 miles.

[seekupig]

and the Royals help you out by beating St. Louis...... again. :D :lol

:lol so true! Me and my buddies would always joke that it actually didn't exist at all and that they just ran commercials for an imaginary place.

But we have 2 near campus in Champaign :thumbsup:thumbsup

And oh yeah the Cubs better get on track after getting blown out these last 2 games

[davehead86]

Welcome to the slump, I hope you enjoy your extended stay here for the next two series.


At least its not the end of September when they look like complete shit.

[Tiduwho]

I love how D Lee tries to save us, and Gallagher immediately serves up a home run to a walking toothpick. Alexei Ramirez weighs 125 pounds! How the hell do you give up a home run to him?

[Bron Yr Aur]

Why hasn't Theriot, our best hitter for average, not started the past two games? Is he hurt at all, or what? Doesn't make any sense.

Also, we need to score more than 5 runs on 10 hits.

If Gallagher doesn't get Swisher, Lou needs to pull him immediately.

[SmoothD41]

:lol

A little bit of humor after the tough loss, surprised nobody mentioned/saw this.....Fox cut to K Wood in the bullpen today, and this is what he was doing.

Who was he doing it to? How long after they cut to him did they cut away?

[SmoothD41]

like 1/2 second. No idea who he was doing it too.

[herzag17]

posted this on craigs, but thought i would put it on ants for anyone who may be interested:

I have a pair of tickets 220, Row 10, 109/110 for the Cubs/Cards game Sunday (gametime TBD), August 10. I cannot make the game, but would like to trade for another game. Would love to trade for the later Cards series in Sept, but assuming thats not possible, am looking for a Thursday or Friday day game.

Trade only - these are not for sale.

send me a PM if you are interested.

[Tiduwho]

Seriously though, the Cubs have to win today.

[devilandthelord]

I know! Worst advertising idea ever!
I used to live in the Cleveland area, and there wasn't one for like 160 miles, and now I live in Chicago and you'd have to drive to Iowa I believe to actually find a sonic!
Why in the world are they wasting advertising space on the cable networks around here?
I will probably literally never eat at a sonic. But if I ever come across one I will definitely eat there just to say that I did. It'd be like finding Atlantis or something.

[devilandthelord]

They had best win, I agree. :cool

[OlivePoet]

:bounce I have a DMB drinking buddy to watch the game with tonight! :bounce

[devilandthelord]

We should get some Chicago Ants together and all try to go to a Cubbies game some weekend before the summer's over.
It could be awesome. We'll all go to Harry Caray's, Murphy's, Sports Corner, etc before the game and get nice and drunk, and then go over to the game (preferably day game) and keep on partying afterwards.

Let's make it happen!

[devilandthelord]

I'm thinking A.J. Burnett might look pretty nice in a Cubs uniform if we can't get Sabathia.

7 Shutout innings, 11 K today.

Alcohol sir? Jeez louise.

[devilandthelord]

Alcohol sir? Jeez louise.

Alcohol and Wrigley Field go together like cheese and crackers.

As the Bishop Don "Magic" Juan would say, "You got to do it."

[UCFish]

Bad last couple days. Hopefully we can win tonight.

[devilandthelord]

Yeah I would be kinda depressed about the Cubs right now if they can't manage a win tonight.
Not playing well lately.

[UCFish]

I just want to win the series is all.



...and the World Series

[devilandthelord]

I just want to win the series is all.



...and the World Series

Yep, give me those two and I'm a happy man.
And if you can't give me both, give me the last one. :D

Can I just haz a sprite?

[devilandthelord]

Can I just haz a sprite?

I suppose. :rolleyes

*cough* lame *cough* square.


What?

[jojo04]

Soooo........ No sweep tonight. Sounds good.

[devilandthelord]

I sure hope so.

Speaking of which. Game starting, now-ish!

[Tiduwho]

Way to get out of it Marshall.

That check swing call was unreal BS. Crede swung so far it's laughable. Lmfao @ the home plate umpire immediately ejecting Piniella when he was already heading back towards the dugout.

[devilandthelord]

Carlos Quentin has been crushing us!

And its bittersweet for me because he's on my fantasy team.
But if it costs us the game I wish him no success.

[Sutmaster6]

A White Sox loss would be nice.

[devilandthelord]

A White Sox loss would be nice.

Wouldn't it though? :lorraine

[davehead86]

Not only do the umps in this game SUCK. But we look like complete shit.

[BustedStuff87]

Fuck these umps. What did the Morgan or Miller say, these umps were replacing the regular umps who went on Vacation?

[devilandthelord]

At least we got 1.

Gotta take solace in the small victories when things aren't going well.

Hopefully we can build on that and get some confidence back and win this damn game!

[Ev42]

man this weekend sucks monkey nuts

[devilandthelord]

Go Cubs Go!
Go Cubs Go!

Gotta do something to stir up this down-looking ballclub.

Speaking of which, where is gocubsgo? Haven't seen him in here in a few days.

[davehead86]

It feels horrible when we leave them on base, and arent getting these half assed calls.

Oh and I hate sox fans. They suck.

[davehead86]

Alright, Rameriez (sp?) can only hit into double plays now. WTF take a few fucking pitches.

[BustedStuff87]

At the start of June, we we're 8-4. We go to the stupid hall of fame game, just to not play cause of a rain out, and ever since that trip we've been 4-7 not including tonight barring a miracle.

[devilandthelord]

Getting awfully late in the game.
Need to score some runs.

[BustedStuff87]

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh shit..........

[devilandthelord]

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu uuuuuck

[davehead86]

Jim Thome is a fat ass.


I dont understand why everyone thinks the sox will win their division, all they do is hit HR's, they stop hitting those (like all teams do) at the end of the year and they will be out of it fast.

[devilandthelord]

and to add to that

SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII IIIIIIIIIIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[davehead86]

Ok, Viagra commercials have gotten out of hand and just plain creepy now.

[devilandthelord]

We have looked amazing at times this season,
but this is definitely as bad as we have looked all season in these last 6 games or so.

I think it is a combination of them just hitting a little slump as a team, and the injuries starting to get to them.

We gotta get healthy, Fast!

[davehead86]

Its a hitting slump, these kids are swinging at horrible pitches and trying to hit it out of the park. Its not working.

[davehead86]

Thats just bad luck. WTF is that.

[BustedStuff87]

Wow, hitting slump + every pop up the sox hit is a HR + 4 double plays = ends our Interleague Play.

[DMBZeppelin]

Ok, Viagra commercials have gotten out of hand and just plain creepy now.
Acoustic guitars and a room full of men doesn't make you think sex?

[Isaacdinho12]

how are the cubs doin tonight?

[clcfball11]

God I hate the sox and their fans. Those fucking fucks.

[Isaacdinho12]

God I hate the sox and their fans. Those fucking fucks.

that good huh?

[MPizzle06]

fucking hate the white sox. FUCK.

Ugh.

Let's get rid of these road woes with a sweep of the lowly Giants :thumbsup
