Good work if you can get it!

It's so weird that you can't gamble in most of the US though... whats up with that?

dc - who bet on a coin toss last night, and lost. what are the odds!

You see, Dundee, the U.S. was founded on some puritanical ideals, and gambling is frowned upon for the most part. Sports betting is illegal except in Nevada and Atlantic City. Of course, there are casinos all over the country nowadays, but they're mostly for all other forms of gambling except sports books. The only legal sports books are where I mentioned, and you must place the bets there, and you can't go through a bookie. That's a violation of wire laws.

i should be more clear when i'm being sarcastic (and, in this case, condescending)... thought to be fair, the sports book part was a detail i was unaware of which is me told.

i also have a bet on the outcome of the danish general election. i love being british...

[VanMan]

Sinatro got nailed by a Theriot foul ball, looked like off his arm.

[VanMan]

Andruw Jones had to really range from right-center to catch a fly ball to left-center by Theriot.

[VanMan]

Izturis grounded to short for the third out.

[VanMan]

I guess Andruw Jones had a double and got to third on a sac fly, but he was stranded there.

[VanMan]

Cubs go 1-2-3 in the 5th.

[VanMan]

Braves also go 1-2-3 in the 5th.

Sorry, not paying 100% attention to the broadcast right now.

[VanMan]

With one out, Murton cues a floater into right field for a hit to end an 0-for-14 slump.

[VanMan]

Barrett lines to Escobar for the second out.

[VanMan]

DeRosa grounded to short, and he goes the short way to force Murton. Still 2-1 Cubs after 5 1/2.

[VanMan]

Braves down 1-2-3 in the 6th.

[VanMan]

Theriot flies to Andruw Jones.

[VanMan]

Izturis just walked.

[VanMan]

Hill successfully sacrificed Izturis to second.

[VanMan]

Soriano was intentionally walked, and Pie grounded to Escobar, who barely got him at first.

[VanMan]

Andruw Jones swings wildly at strike three.

[VanMan]

Franceour does a half swing, but a full strike for the third strike.

[VanMan]

Diaz flares to right, Murton tries to dive to catch it, but it bounced in front of him, and goes off his body. Diaz held to a single.

[VanMan]

I was on the phone when the final out was made. It's too early for political phone calls.

[dundeecub]

Hill's making the Braves look silly with that curveball for the out. The Braves commentators are pretty freaked with his 10 ks :D

[VanMan]

With one out, Murton walks. And then Angel Pagan comes in to pinch-run.

[VanMan]

Barrett is called out looking on a curve ball, two gone.

[VanMan]

DeRosa flies to the warning track in right, but Franceour is there for the catch.

[VanMan]

Saltalamacchia stuck out swinging at a slow breaker.

[VanMan]

Next batter flies out.

[ARamfan]

They're still talking about it! :D

[VanMan]

Hill's gone through eight, still 2-1 Cubs.

[VanMan]

Hill will be done, as he's third in the ninth, and he's not wearing a batting helmet. Demp will pitch the ninth.

[VanMan]

Theriot tries to bloop one to center, but Andruw Jones is there for the catch.

[VanMan]

Izturis flies to Andruw Jones, two gone.

[VanMan]

Floyd pops out to Renteria. Fasten your seat belts, Dempster's coming in to close it out.

[ARamfan]

I'm buckling up now. Thanks for the warning, Eric! :D

[jmorrison1]

I know its silly... but I'm at home in front of my computer standing for the last out.

GO CUBS!!!

[VanMan]

Dempster works a 1-2-3 inning to get the save, all on ground balls. Cubs win, 2-1, and gain a half-game on the Brewers! Third time all year, first time on the road, we've won a one-run game.

[jmorrison1]

CUBS WIN!! CUBS WIN!!!

[dundeecub]

not a great outing for the offense, but a great display by Hill, lets keep this going!!!

[Sheffield_&_Waveland]

Great all around game. Rich Hill was excellent tonight. Good thing he didn't need much run support.

[ARamfan]

I know its silly... but I'm at home in front of my computer standing for the last out.

GO CUBS!!!

Not silly at all, Jim! :cool:

[Sheffield_&_Waveland]

I know its silly... but I'm at home in front of my computer standing for the last out.

GO CUBS!!!

Well I guess I know now that I am not the only one that does that. :cool:

[Drockvb]

Yeah Cubbies!!!!!!
