Chicago Cubs

[DMBZeppelin]

Hank White FTW!

[TapNorris]

Hank White in the clutch baby!!

[TapNorris]

Let's go Kerry Wood.

[gocubsgo3822]

nice and easy kerry no heart attacks....

HANK WHITE FTMFW

[DMBZeppelin]

I hope the Brewers are looking at the scoreboard and start pressing.

[gocubsgo3822]

u know they are... 1 DOWN!!!!!!!!!!!

[TapNorris]

The Brewers are pinch-running with a skeleton.

[gocubsgo3822]

that skeleton is amazing..... best SS prospect in baseball...

lets go kerry

[gocubsgo3822]

2 down!!!!!!!!!!!

[TapNorris]

Shit.

[gocubsgo3822]

fuck

[DMBZeppelin]

Damnit, all right Wood lets do this. Why were the outfielders playing so shallow? I know Fuk and Pie can usually get to the warning track to a ball that hangs up in the air that long.

[gocubsgo3822]

kerry has been a little inconsistent lately

[DMBZeppelin]

Damnit Ramirez! If you can't get it, don't slow the ball down so Theriot can't get it either.

[gocubsgo3822]

not the guy i wanted to come to the plate

[DMBZeppelin]

Honestly I'd rather just walk Fielder at this point.

[gocubsgo3822]

i am fucking nervous as fuck

[gocubsgo3822]

just dont let him beat u.. make him chase

[DMBZeppelin]

i am fucking nervous as fuck
I trust Kerry, I mean he took on Pujols the other day. He can get it done.

[devilandthelord]

*cuts the tension with a proverbial knife*

[DMBZeppelin]

Man so that was so close to being strike 3.

[DMBZeppelin]

:multi:bounce:multi CUBS WIN!! CUBS WIN!! :multi:bounce:multi

I love this team :)

[gocubsgo3822]

Cubs win!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[TapNorris]

Fuck yeah!!! Magic # 4!!!!!

[gocubsgo3822]

MAgic number is 4!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[DMBZeppelin]

Besides that being just a FILTHY pitch to freeze Fielder looking. You gotta believe taking on Pujols and Fielder that Wood's confidence is on the rise.

[gocubsgo3822]

it looks like a hanging curveball on gameday

[TapNorris]

i am fucking nervous as fuck

My heart was racing.

[devilandthelord]

Go Cubs Go! Go Cubs Go!
Hey Chicago whaddya say!

:multi:monkey:multi

[DMBZeppelin]

Watching the replay, I just love Soto's reaction to the called third. In fact I just love Soto. Hell even yesterday when Lilly blew the no hitter. He walked out to the mound and calmed Lilly down. He's just such an awesome catcher.

[TapNorris]

Fat Man CC's first loss as a Brewer!!!

[devilandthelord]

Heeeeeeeeeeeee got him!!!!

Strike 3 on mayor mccheese!

[dmbinchicago]

:bounce

Good night, sweet Prince!

[DMBZeppelin]

LOVE THE ATTITUDE! Reporter interviewing Ramirez saying how they only needed 2 wins to clinch and all that. He totally downplayed it "It's possible, but you can't take anything for granted." and went on to say how the Brewers will be back trying to win tomorrow and what not.

[devilandthelord]

Fat Man CC's first loss as a Brewer!!!

Yes! Yes! Yes!

We got him!

Now they know, we own the CC.

We beat the Brew for the first time since he had been with him, and now we hang his first loss on him!
And possibly the Brewers season with it.

Today's game was brought to you by the number 4!
As in, the Cubs magic number is 4 boys and girls! :ggoat:hump

[DMBZeppelin]

We beat the Brew for the first time since he had been with him, and now we hang his first loss on him!
:ugh We swept them in a 4 game series. We got CC his first no decision as a Brewer in that series. He's been with them for a while now. This isn't the first time we've faced him.

[DMBZeppelin]

Oh and Dempster's got his 16th win, a career high!

[devilandthelord]

:ugh We swept them in a 4 game series. We got CC his first no decision as a Brewer in that series. He's been with them for a while now. This isn't the first time we've faced him.

Which is exactly what I meant.
He didn't get the loss that first time, he got a ND but we beat the Brew and that hadn't happened since they had him.
And today we actually gave him the loss.

[DMBZeppelin]

They asked Demp "After the first two outs, did you start thinking no hitter?" and he laughed and said "I'm not going to lie to you. I've been thinking about it all day. It was a lot to live up to."

[gocubsgo3822]

CUBS WIN!!!!!!!!!!! CUBS WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Magic Number motherfuckin 4

[DMBZeppelin]

Good news, Astros lost tonight. Had they won three straight, we couldn't have clinched. No one, even the media brought this up. I didn't because I didn't want to jynx it. The Astros elimination number is now down to 2. So obviously 2 Cubs wins (a.k.a. clinching) would seal the deal 100% now.

[Ev42]

great win:thumbsup:thumbsup

Demp 16 wins nice

[BustedStuff87]

So did everyone register for the drawing for playoff ticks????

[DMBZeppelin]

So did everyone register for the drawing for playoff ticks????
I already did. Hopefully I win more then just two. I'd love to be able to buy some bleacher tickets. If I could get enough I'd gladly offer them to people from this thread. Because f*ck the brokers.

[gocubsgo3822]

i am in sc so i decided not too.... god boys and gina this is getting pretty special..... i really want to finish this off on thursday or friday against the cardinals

[bothedmbfan]

I'd be so happy to get this finished ASAP.

[HolyCow]

This is fun again.

[gocubsgo3822]

so soriano took a curtain call when he wasnt given one.... :lol

i like how we kept adding on tonight in the eighth and ninth

[bothedmbfan]

I still think the Cardinals win the Super Bowl.

(Zach will fill you in)

Contract extension for Piniella in works

The Cubs appear poised to offer manager Lou Piniella a contract extension at the end of the season. The team already has had preliminary talks with him, but the issue has been tabled until the offseason, Cubs chairman Crane Kenney said.

General manager Jim Hendry also might be in line for an extension.

''Lou's done a great job here,'' Kenney said. ''We look around the league, and there isn't anybody else I'd rather have in the dugout right now than Lou. And I think he feels good about what's happening.

''But it's a grind. Making decisions with two weeks to go, I don't think it's a smart thing to do, and I think they would agree with me. Let's get the job done, and then we'll address it.''

Piniella has one guaranteed year left on a three-year contract worth about $10 million, and the Cubs have an option for 2010. Hendry is signed through this season, with an option he can exercise for 2009. He also has a clause assuring another year in the event of the Tribune Co. sale of the team.
:multi :thumbsup Lou and Hendry can stay as long as they want, in my opinion.

[DMBZeppelin]

'09 in motion

Kenney said the impending sale of the team might get done some time between the end of the World Series and the first of the year.

Kenney, Hendry and the rest of the Cubs' management team are going through management presentations with the five bidders, showing each group the team's plans for next season along the way.

''Right now, in any season, we would be already working on a budget for next year, so we are showing each one of the bidders what our projection is for payroll and sort of where we want to address some of our needs,'' Kenney said.
Crazy that they're already thinking about 2009. I wonder what they think our needs our *cough* Sabathia *cough*

[TapNorris]

:multi :thumbsup Lou and Hendry can stay as long as they want, in my opinion.

Seconded.

[DMBCubs25]

Got a good feeling tonight even though marquis is pitching, sheets hasn't been good his last few starts and we usually seem to hit him well

[gocubsgo3822]

I dont think we need Sabathia....

I really dont if we resign Dempster...

I would rather have a LH hitting corner outfielder like Adam Dunn and hopefuly Fukudome retires.

[Sou1 So1di3r]

Damn you're dense.

[gocubsgo3822]

i am not dense... i think thats why hes going to get left ofdf the post season roster... which lous already hinted at... we are trying to get him to return to japan

[bothedmbfan]

No, I'm saying for wanting Adam Dunn. Mainly because he's a shitty fielder, and will either hit a HR or strike out. (Granted, he could hit HR's with a wiffle bat, but that's a different story.)

[41ravens]

was it a sign that our magic number was 6 at the beginning of a 3-game home stand with the crew? methinks yes.

[jayman414]

I dont think we need Sabathia....

I really dont if we resign Dempster...

I would rather have a LH hitting corner outfielder like Adam Dunn and hopefuly Fukudome retires.


I dont think Adam Dunn is a better option that Fukudome. Dunn is at best an average outfielder. Even when Fukudome isnt playing good offensively he is a great defensive attribute to the Cubs. I'm sure they will figure something out, but Dunn is not the answer, not even close.

[DMBZeppelin]

I dont think we need Sabathia....

I really dont if we resign Dempster...

:lol:lol:lol Ok, so PLEASE explain to me how we don't need Sabathia. The also explain why Fuk would walk away from millions and "retire".
i am not dense... i think thats why hes going to get left ofdf the post season roster... which lous already hinted at... we are trying to get him to return to japan
When has Lou ever hinted at this?

[HolyCow]

Fuk can stay and play right if he can hit at least .270 and drive in 60. He plays the best right field since the Hawk and is a walk-machine. He's helped the whole team with its discipline at the plate.

Keep in mind - he's a rookie. The long grind of an MLB season got to him. Next year he should be adapted a little more and should have more success.

He can stay if he does all that, AND stops the spinny thing.

[TapNorris]

Yeah, the spinning thing just makes him look bad....really bad....like a bad ball player. Please Fuk, stop spinning.

[DMBZeppelin]

He can stay if he does all that, AND stops the spinny thing.
Who cares if he spins, if he performs? When he was the MVP for us over the first three months. Wasn't that big of a deal, was it?

[funksoul]

Why are you guys talking about 2009?? Seriously, y'all...we've got months after this season to debate this shit. Let's focus on kicking the Brewers ass and winning the freakin' World Series this year :monkey

How is Fuk not 2008? Gocubsgo said he might get left off the post-season roster, and such. It's all relevant. I agree though lets go win the World Series.

[Sou1 So1di3r]

So I really wanna hit up one of the Cubs Brewers games @ miller park the final weekend. Any advice on finding decently priced tickets? I've only been to 2 games all year!

[DMBZeppelin]

Any advice on finding decently priced tickets?
Wait for all the Brewers fans to start selling once they're eliminated.

[devilandthelord]

Who cares if he spins, if he performs? When he was the MVP for us over the first three months. Wasn't that big of a deal, was it?

Well no, cuz the spinny thing usually means he's striking out, and he was doing very little of that in the first 3 months.
Now he's doing the spinny thing a whole lot more cuz he's been sucking.

[Sou1 So1di3r]

Wait for all the Brewers fans to start selling once they're eliminated.

wow that is a good idea.:thumbsup

[funksoul]

I was referring to the talk of Fuk's role on the team beyond this year...

At this point...I am not concerned about Harden, Fuk, Dempster etc. for 2009...i'm just saying let's win the world series and then discuss this stuff...which i'm sure we all agree on.

so who is going to the game on thursday again?? I've got a pair of bleachers but i would like to trade them for a pair of seats to be honest if anyone in here is interested in that...

[devilandthelord]

I'm officially registered for playoff tickets!
Hopefully my # is called.

Dempster is a free agent, we'll try to dump Marquis who doesn't make a ton, and Harden makes next to nothing. The new Cubs owner won't be in the poor house over Sabathia. But he will make us the NL favorite for the next 5+ years. If Harden can't stay healthy you still have two aces.

[UCFish]

I would take Demps or CC.

Or Both.

Just no spinning.

I love Dempster, he's a class act and a stand up guy. I'd welcome him back with open arms. But he should not be mentioned as a good alternative to CC.

[DMBZeppelin]

Oh and it was funny, Guzman accepted some bogus award for Zambrano.

[gocubsgo3822]

i am well aware that dempster is a free agent but we will re up him.. I doubt we will just dump marquis and i dont know why people think we are going to be players for cc... i think its crazy to assume we are going to hop onto the CC train

He must not make the post season roster.

This is gonna be a short night of work for Marquis too. Injured or not.

dan it just isnt on here. We arent close enough to chicago to whatever other local station picked up. Its not WGN and its not on Comcast and we are too close to other stations that broadcast cardinals games, bottom line we just dont have the game. Watch the pitch by pitch gameday on MLB's website

[Tiduwho]

I'm in Wisconsin.

They have the game blacked out on FSN, the Brewers channel. And they have the game blacked out on ESPN.

What a load of dogshit.

GAH! Come on Cubs. I hate them!








Juuuuuuust kidding.

Angel Guzman. Too bad I can't see him pitch.

Nah, this games over tonight, we got the advantage tomorrow though with harden going against bush and what will be a worn out milwaukee pen

[devilandthelord]

Nah, this games over tonight, we got the advantage tomorrow though with harden going against bush and what will be a worn out milwaukee pen

Maybe, maybe not.
But you're definitely right about tomorrow. With harden we've got as good a chance as any to win. And Bush is pretty awful and their bullpen will certainly be fucked after tonight.

[devilandthelord]

Oh for Christ's sake! Kevin Hart.
This is revolting.

[gocubsgo3822]

why do people run on soriano regardless of if Hart was safe or not????

[Bron Yr Aur]

i think guzman should make the post season roster

Still think so? Dude got ROCKED in that following inning.

Say what you will about Marquis, but he has kept us in ballgames lately. Sure he gave up 3 runs in the first, but came back with 4 1/3 shutout innings.

Marquis is crap, he didn't get a 4.36 ERA by accident. Giving up 3 runs may not seem bad on paper, but in terms of how it effects the game is huge. Before our bats even had a chance to do ANYTHING the Brewers were on the board.

Now the Brewers offense feels relaxed, and knows they don't to do too much more with one of their aces on the mound. The pressure is off Sheets with a 3 run lead early. He can take chances on getting guys out. His mentality is totally changed. While Marquis knows another run or two, and he's out of the game.

If he was going to give up 3 runs I'd rather it be in the 6th then in the 1st.

[DMBZeppelin]

Glance at '09

The Cubs get a taste of life on the South Side next year with an interleague schedule filled with American League Central opponents, including home series against Minnesota and Cleveland and a road series at Detroit.

The tentative 2009 schedule was released Wednesday, with the Cubs playing the White Sox in an unusual midweek series June 16-18 at Wrigley Field. They play a weekend series at U.S. Cellular Field on June 26-28.
The Cubs open on the road with a trip to Houston and Milwaukee before facing Colorado in the home opener April 13.

If he was going to give up 3 runs I'd rather it be in the 6th then in the 1st.

A 4.36 ERA from your #5 starter is damn good. Sorry but I don't know what you are talking about. Yeah he gave up 3 runs in the first and looked like shit. BUT, he kept the team in it. Guzman did just as badly in his second inning of work and at least Marquis has played in the post season--every year of his career. You need guys with a little experience when you are going up against tough teams. You dont' want to have someone like Guzman out there who's going to act like a deer caught in the headlights.

And I think it's funny how you blame Marquis for the Cubs' awful offensive production last night. Sorry, but that doesn't fly. It's not Marquis' fault that they were swinging at off-speed junk all night and couldn't come up with a 2-out hit (Cubs are last in the majors in 2-out hitting, fyi, can't blame that on Marquis).

I don't get your point. 3 runs is 3 runs. MLB games are long and the players have played in enough of them to realize that 3 runs is nothing. The offense just didn't have it. Marquis has given us a number of high quality starts lately and has been valuable. Not many other #5 starters have the stuff Marquis has. When he's in a bad stretch, yeah, it's bad. But when he's throwing the ball well, he's much better than a #5 starter.

[UCFish]

Seconded.

Thirded

3 walks in the first already & 30 pitches...

Marquis wasn't on the postseason roster last year, unless I'm wrong


EDIT: I'm not wrong... his last postseason appearance was 2005

[MPizzle06]

Harden's settled in nicely

Striking the FUCK out of the Brewers

[Bron Yr Aur]

EDIT: I'm not wrong... his last postseason appearance was 2005

Ok...I guess he's played on playoff teams every year. That's not really the point.

Look at Harden. He gave up a run in the first inning without giving up a hit. How do you think the defense likes seeing a guy throw 3 walks and not give them a chance to play ball behind him? Not to mention the strain he's going to put on the bullpen because he can't go more than 4-5 innings.

Now I'm just playing devil's advocate, but people undervalue players like Marquis way too much.

[MPizzle06]

Fuck yeah Aramis! 2-1 :hump

More like 5 with that double play. Samardzija threw well enough to get 3 outs. 4 outs even. I mean, what the fuck? That was the easiest play on the field.

ya derosa has done a great job of doing absolutely nothing lately

Can't tell if you are serious.

[Bron Yr Aur]

What a bunch of jokers. Your lead-off man gets on base and the 2 and 3 guys do THAT? Nice hitting.

[Sou1 So1di3r]

What is happening. I just started watching gamecast. Is there a site where you can stream the live game for free without having an MLB.TV account?

[UCFish]

If there is I would be pissed since I use mlb.tv.


What is happening is an error last inning opened up the flood gates for 4 runs.

[Sou1 So1di3r]

Damn this sucks. And there is I know there is someone posted a link a while back I just cant find it anymore.

[devilandthelord]

Hey guys, just started paying attention to the game.
So from what I understand we fucked ourselves with an error? :(

[devilandthelord]

Damn I guess so, Shark with 4 unearned runs! Damnit.
We're playing like the Brewers!

I knew Harden wasn't gonna see past the 5th inning today as well.

[UCFish]

De-ro booted one of the easiest double play balls I have ever seen.

Then they had a ton of hits in a row.

[Sou1 So1di3r]

Are you supposed to be able to watch the Cubs on that?
I don't get it.
That would be awesome though if it worked.

[Bron Yr Aur]

Only managing 3 hits off the Brewers pitching staff is pretty sad.

[Sou1 So1di3r]

Yeah is it working for anyone on a PC? It wont work on my Mac. All that happens when I click on play is a window opens and firefox says it doesn't know what the link is. I think it is supposed to open a video player or something.

What happens on PC?

[HolyCow]

Come on Cubbers.

[Sou1 So1di3r]

fuck nevermind I just found this

http://www.myp2p.eu/software.php?part=software

I guess you need the software, and looks like they only make it for Windows.

[devilandthelord]

No. When I click on the links that say Play, it either goes to a page cannot be displayed screen or pretends to load but doesnt.
Sadz.

[TapNorris]

Well suck me sideways, this ain't good.

Anyone else worried about that Blackhawks d-bag yelling "have fun in the playoffs" at the end of the stretch? We don't need no 7th inning stretch jinxs.

[Sou1 So1di3r]

look at my above post. I think you need software.

Kind of reminded me of Bernie Mac in game 6 of the 03 nlcs during the stretch. I hate bernie mac for that reason

[TapNorris]

I thought of the same thing. He was a damn sox fan too.

[devilandthelord]

He is dead. :(

[Sou1 So1di3r]

Well he is dead now, so I guess it's ok....?


And there is no way we are not in the playoffs.

[TapNorris]

Well he is dead now, so I guess it's ok....?


And there is no way we are not in the playoffs.

We all need to stop saying shit like that. I believe just as much as the next guy, but we all need to stop getting ahead of ourselves......plus, Weurtz is on the mound.

[Sou1 So1di3r]

Fucking christ shit fucking shit fuck.

[DMBCubs25]

Well he is dead now, so I guess it's ok....?


And there is no way we are not in the playoffs.
We're cubs fans, you cant blame us for worrying, even if we do make it id rather us win the 4 games instead of relying on the brewers to lose like last year, and we all know how that ended up goin in the playoffs

[Sou1 So1di3r]

We all need to stop saying shit like that. I believe just as much as the next guy, but we all need to stop getting ahead of ourselves......plus, Weurtz is on the mound.

Well we sure as hell are not going to drop 8 games to the Brewers.

[TapNorris]

Well we sure as hell are not going to drop 8 games to the Brewers.

No, because we only play 3 more...but we could drop our next 8 and then really be shitting our pants.

[Sou1 So1di3r]

We're cubs fans, you cant blame us for worrying, even if we do make it id rather us win the 4 games instead of relying on the brewers to lose like last year, and we all know how that ended up goin in the playoffs

Well yeah I understand. I haven't really ever followed the team as closely as I have this year... but, I mean, unless Dempster, Zambrano, Lilly, and Harden, all get on the DL at the same time... I think we can rest easy.

But this BS sure isn't helping.

[Sou1 So1di3r]

Uh oh shit is going down on gamecast. What is happening people with la television??

[Sou1 So1di3r]

Holy shit is this really happening!?!?!?

[dmbdreamingtree]

good shit cubbies!

[41ravens]

gggggggggeeeeeeeeeeoooooooooooo!!!

[Bron Yr Aur]

uhhh....lol.

Yeah.

[devilandthelord]

Cubs! Cubs! Cubs! :)

[TapNorris]

Thank the good Lord for Geo Soto!!!!

[41ravens]

that's fuckin' awesome. let's win this shit now.

[Sou1 So1di3r]

Geo is my fucking man.

[HolyCow]

WOWOWOW!!! I'm pumped.

[HolyCow]

Dang, Theriot is going to dip under .300 before the season finishes.

[Sou1 So1di3r]

[gocubsgo3822]

theriot is useless

[Sou1 So1di3r]

just hit a godamned home run

[gocubsgo3822]

kerry wood is straight filthy as of now

[gocubsgo3822]

pretty good inning 3 ks

[HolyCow]

Woody strikes out the side!

[crashintonickdm]

cmon cubs. help the phils.

[devilandthelord]

cmon cubs. help the phils.

Help yoself nucca!
We'll do as we please. :cool

[TapNorris]

This would be a good spot for one of those patented D Lee solo HR's.............struck out before I could finish typing.

[devilandthelord]

End it ARAM.

[devilandthelord]

Well they gave him no chance there.

[TapNorris]

How far outside was the pitch to Edmonds?

[devilandthelord]

Did Edmonds get ejected for arguing the call?

[TapNorris]

Did Edmonds get ejected for arguing the call?


Yes.

[DMBCubs25]

MLB hires some awful, awful people to umpire baseball games, its astounding

[Sou1 So1di3r]

yeah I think so

[HolyCow]

come on Geo, be a hero (again).

[devilandthelord]

What the fuck does Mark DeRosa to second on fielder's indifference mean?

[devilandthelord]

Crap.

[UCFish]

No SB is awarded.

[HolyCow]

What the fuck does Mark DeRosa to second on fielder's indifference mean?DeRosa "stole" second but the Brewers made no effort to get him out. So instead of awarding DeRo a stolen base, they just call it "fielder's indifference."

EDIT: Woody typically doesn't fair too well in his second inning of work.

[gocubsgo3822]

that was such horseshit that hollywood got thrown out

[Sou1 So1di3r]

fuck fuck fuck

[UCFish]

DeRosa "stole" second but the Brewers made no effort to get him out. So instead of awarding DeRo a stolen base, they just call it "fielder's indifference."

Yeah it gets bad usually.

[UCFish]

As usual.

He should never come back out. FUCK

[gocubsgo3822]

0-2.... there should be no excuse for giving up base hits on 0-2

[gocubsgo3822]

i love it when jason kendall is on the other team

[UCFish]

i love it when jason kendall is on the other team

:lol

[gocubsgo3822]

way to go kerry!!!!!!! Lets get some Motherfucking runs!!!!!!!!!

[devilandthelord]

Its pretty funny to see "Jason Marquis pinch ran for Daryle Ward" in the gamecast.
What a fat, slow fuck. :lol

[gocubsgo3822]

god i hte theriot

[devilandthelord]

C'mon DLee.
Just one little knock.
Anywhere. Please.

[gocubsgo3822]

Cubs win!!!!!!!!!!!! Cubs win!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Magic number 2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you milwaukee bullpen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[devilandthelord]

3 cheers for DLee! :multi

Hip, hip!

[gocubsgo3822]

HOORAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! CUBS MOTHERFUCKING WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:bounce :bounce :bounce :bounce :bounce

[UCFish]

Thanks as well for the terrible work done by the brewers in the top of the inning with runners at 2nd and 3rd and no outs. :lol

Nice baserunning Brew Crew.

[MPizzle06]

Holy SHIT what a game!!!!!! Watched the entire thing instead of doing homework :D

That Soto homer in the 9th was gold, and D-Lee finally came through after going 0-5 until the 12th

Really shows that this team is something special :thumbsup

[devilandthelord]

I think Jason Marquis pinch running for Daryle Ward was key.

[devilandthelord]

I know he didn't factor in the decision, but I'd just like to say that Rich Harden's ERA in 11 starts and 65 IP with the Cubs is 1.66. :)

Edit: Oh, he also has 85 Ks in those 65 IP.

[MPizzle06]

What a game...I'm still blown away. The Brewers NEEDED that game, and badly. But that was awesome!!! Magic Number DOWN TO 2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Tiduwho]

Cubs win again!


Brewers choking potential is at an all-time high, let's never take them seriously again. Ever.

Funny cuz its true.

[gocubsgo3822]

i have to say the MVP of this game who had aramis's double in the ninth go through his glove and legs... If he catches that which was a catchable ball then they win the game... Thank you silly Ryan Braun

[devilandthelord]

I was talking to a Brewers fan last night, wearing a Braun jersey. And I said, yeah Braun's a heckuva a player. I love the way he hits. I'd love to have him on the Cubs if he didn't play such terrible defense. :lol

[dmbdreamingtree]

once again... thank you for the win today.

[Tiduwho]

Watching the replay right now on FSN. Wow, I just can't get over how fat Fielder is.

[DMBZeppelin]

Apparently Eddie Vedder's song 'All the Way' has hit the Chicago air waves. I have no idea if it's live or studio, can anyone fill me in? PearlJam.com said it will be available for free in the next few days.

Here's a YouTube link to either what they're playing on the radio, or a more recent live version: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CqHTScDBsDU it's got more verses then before, and all around it's just an awesome song.

[gocubsgo3822]

i believe that once playoffs rolls around we should all have a unified avatar

[saygdbye4134]

today was the greatest game i have ever witnessed in person in my life.

thank you chicago cubs.
