A want to see a lot of this. Probably one of Brian Anderson’s finest calls.

But I found a website that says that this one was longer….can’t get the video to work though

WOW

I just watched that…that ball was hit HARD. And Lilly just served it up on a platter for him.

It'd be nice

to completely whomp ‘em tonight. Hopefully Sheets is in his zone

Hot tip from Bruce Bochy

“Ray Durham can hit very good pitching.”

Thanks, BB!

Ouch, that was a crappy throw from Kendall

I think a good throw gets him.

Well, Haudricourt was right about one thing
“Generally, I don’t change the lineup because a guy missed a play or made a mistake in the field,” Yost said. “That had zero to do with it.”

Talking about something and laughing out loud (literally) about it.

by ol Pete on Jul 29, 2008 7:49 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Sorry, I don’t remember the subject, partly because its so hard to pick it up with the awful audio. I just thought it was ironic that they were laughing it up together when they are often adversarial, or at least appear so from the outside.

Why couldn’t it have been Zambrano?

Cubs take the early lead. Two outs in the 4th is early?

The power is such that we’re still losing.

the cubs so much. I hate that they are winning. I hate their fans. I hate the fact that we are becoming the mini-red sox to their mini-yankees.

I used to kinda like Derek Lee

now I hate the Cubs and everything associated with them, their organization, etc. It’s unhealthy to hate something this much.

I like Derrek Lee

Most of the Cubs players are pretty cool, except for Zambrano and Soriano who seem like assholes regardless of what team they’re on.

The fans though…not so much.

Ryan Braun: He loves it.

I kind of like Fontenot. Rapidly downhill from there.
