[ryno4ever]

First pitch...popped up to first! Albers has thrown one pitch and has one freaking out! Nice "tone setting" Soriano!

[ryno4ever]

Jones! Base hit to left! One out single for JJ!

http://i177.photobucket.com/albums/w224/ryno4ever/players/jones/dynomite1.gif

[ryno4ever]

Dee Lee strikes out for the second out! Come on Rammy...don't leave Jones stranded!

Time to see which Rich showed up tonight.

[ryno4ever]

Lead off base hit for Hunter Pence.

[ryno4ever]

Hill faces Biggio....and Pence steals second off Hill....again.

[ryno4ever]

Has Kendall thrown a runner out yet this year?

Biggio strikes out for the first out, with Pence in scoring position.

[ryno4ever]

Cincy is beating the ReTardinals 3-0

[ryno4ever]

Lou said in the pregame show that he needed Hill to give him at least 6 strong innings tonight because Marmol and Howry are unavailable tonight....he has thrown a lot of pitches this inning...as DeRo just made an awesome catch for the second out.

[ryno4ever]

Pence is still at second with two outs. Carlos Lee at the plate....

[ryno4ever]

Do NOT leave the ball over the plate, Mr. Hill! JUST LIKE THAT.... as Lee crushes the ball foul.

[ryno4ever]

He is taking a lot of time in between pitches..... as Lee flies out to Jones, and Pence is left at second base!

FLOYD HOMERS!!!!!! OUR LITTLE ANGEL IS WITH US TONIGHT!

[ryno4ever]

DeRo is now up to bat with a 3-0 count...as he looks at strike one. He fouls the next one off behind the plate.... and gets a basehit as the ball just got under Loretta's glove.

[ryno4ever]

Hit and run is on as Kendall gets a basehit...and DeRo ends up at third!http://i177.photobucket.com/albums/w224/ryno4ever/Happy%20times/thumbsup.gif

THEhttp://i177.photobucket.com/albums/w224/ryno4ever/players/theriot/riotepileptic.gif RBI!!!!

[ryno4ever]

DeRo just got in under the tag! Cubs lead 2-0 with one out.

[ryno4ever]

Come on Hill! Bunts two foul...so, now, are ya gonna swing, or try it again? I'd say, try it again at the risk of a double play. I'd rather see a strike out, and bring Soriano up to the plate with one on...which he does, bunts it foul... for a strike out. 2 outs.

[ryno4ever]

Come on Sori! WHY WHY WHY does he HAVE to swing at that first pitch? They are NOT going to give him anything to hit!

Cliffy's up again!

[ryno4ever]

Pence misplayed it and Cliffy has a triple! He's got the two hard ones out of the way for the cycle! Now he just needs the double and single, but I'll take whatever he gives us!

[ryno4ever]

De Ro grounds out to short...Floyd holds at third.

[Drockvb]

Eye catching?

Just a little. I will counter it with this smiley > :cool:

[cubbyfanforever]

no,its to cool not to stare!

[ryno4ever]

Hill strikes out Carlos Lee....I still hate Carlos Lee for when he took out Todd Walker at second base....on a very nasty play!

[ryno4ever]

no,its to cool not to stare!
I have another one that is up and down instead of horizontal that I will use for his next at bat...or good play!

[cubbyfanforever]

I remember that,and I will never forget Renteria for nailing Fontenot.

[ryno4ever]

Top of the order due up.....

Len and Bob have pointed out a couple of times that the trainers have been attending to Ram in the dugout...and he keeps wincing in pain on the field.... I hope he is okay! I wonder if he won't come out before too long.

[ryno4ever]

HOLY COW!!!!! SORIANO TOOK THE FIRST PITCH!

[cubbyfanforever]

I think he(RAMY) just wants to hit a homer badly.

[ryno4ever]

Ouch...OH NO!!!!!!!!! HE'S DOWN!!!!!!!!

[cubbyfanforever]

oh nooooooooo!D.LEE!

[ryno4ever]

PLEASE BE OKAY...PLEASE BE OKAY...PLEASE BE OKAY!

[cubbyfanforever]

I just saw the season or whats left of it flash before MY EYES!

[ryno4ever]

Whew! I hate that feeling! The one that brings me back to that April night when we saw him go down with the broken wrist.... the one that we felt when Nomar went down clutching his groin.... oh, my!

[cubbyfanforever]

1st. pitch!!! can we be patient and run the count please!

[ryno4ever]

1st. pitch!!! can we be patient and run the count please!

I think that is one thing that frustrates me the most! They could have at least three pitches to see..... and when they swing at the first one, it doesn't let them see what else they have (in the early parts) and it doesn't do anything to build up the opposing pitchers' pitch count! I used to yell and scream at Corey Patterson all the time for that!

[cubbyfanforever]

DeRO! Yes!

[ryno4ever]

Lou was asked about if he was going to address the approaches at the plate... he said "to hell with the approach...we need to be interested in the results not the approach".

[cubbyfanforever]

Well,its starts with the approach,then you get results,I think he did not think at that question properly.

[ryno4ever]

I like Kendall's plate approach.... patient... nice strokes with the bat.....

[ryno4ever]

Well,its starts with the approach,then you get results,I think he did not think at that question properly.

It was right after the game last night, and needless to say, he was just a bit ticked off.....

Was Piniella upset with the approaches of Cubs hitters?

"I don't know about the approaches," he said. "I'm talking about the results. The hell with the approaches. It's too late to worry about approaches. Worry about results."
www.chicagosports.com

[cubbyfanforever]

I'm very comfortable every time Kendall is at the plate,he gives 100 % approach at the plate(SWEET LOU).hope Lou looks at this website!

[ryno4ever]

Did you hear that Paul Sullivan looked ahead with the Cubs/Brewers schedules... and the Brewers are lined up to face Oswalt, Peavy, Young, and a couple of the other aces...

The closest thing we get to facing an "ace" for the rest of the year is Willis!

The stars may be starting to really align themselves....

[cubbyfanforever]

Don't get me wrong,I like Lou,but leaving Dumpster for 2 innings is a start to disaster.

[cubbyfanforever]

Update Cincy 5 STL. 1

[cubbyfanforever]

Yes I did,thats awesome!

[ryno4ever]

HILL! DOING IT WITH THE BAT, TOO, TONIGHT!!!! He is really giving us a good start!

[ryno4ever]

First pitch swing? Yep.

[ryno4ever]

We need this guy to get hot again!

[cubbyfanforever]

We need an insurance run right now! I could just hear Pat and Ronny saying the same thing.

[ARamfan]

Guys ,my name is Frank by the way.

Hi Frank, I'm Mara and congratulations on reaching 100 posts. Obviously you like the site and we look forward to reading all of your posts! :)

[ryno4ever]

I heard on ESPN 1000 today, that MLB is going to switch the World Series format again, that instead of home field advantage being determined by the All Star game, it will be whoever has the best record.

[cubbyfanforever]

Its just fun to be around Cubby fans!

[cubbyfanforever]

http://i177.photobucket.com/albums/w224/ryno4ever/7th%20inning%20stretch/music9.gifTake me out to the ballgame. Take me out to the crowd. Buy me some peanuts and crackerjacks. I don't care if I ever get back. So root, root root for the Cubbies, if they don't win it's a shame. For it's ONE...TWO...THREE strikes you're out at the old ball game! http://i177.photobucket.com/albums/w224/ryno4ever/7th%20inning%20stretch/music9.gif


LET'S GET SOME RUNS!

[ryno4ever]

Maybe it's time for the pen.......

[ryno4ever]

And when I did the 7th inning stretch, I didn't want the ASTROS to get some runs!

[ARamfan]

I heard on ESPN 1000 today, that MLB is going to switch the World Series format again, that instead of home field advantage being determined by the All Star game, it will be whoever has the best record.

I don't know what to think about that. It COULD be a good thing.

BTW CARDS LOSE! BREWERS LOSE! :D

[ryno4ever]

What was that you were saying about insurance runs, Frank? Could've really used it now
!

[cubbyfanforever]

What was that you were saying about insurance runs, Frank? Could've really used it now
!

now we need two runs!

[ryno4ever]

BTW CARDS LOSE! BREWERS LOSE! :D
I listened to the Brewers game on the radio this afternoon.... it was close until the 8th inning! Turnbow fell apart! Bush didn't have a good outing either.

[ryno4ever]

Can't he just bring Marmol in for two outs? I know he pitched for two innings last night, but I'd really like to see marmol out ther tonight!

[cubbyfanforever]

I listened to the Brewers game on the radio this afternoon.... it was close until the 8th inning! Turnbow fell apart! Bush didn't have a good outing either.

Love to hear that their big stoppers are having problems.

[cubbyfanforever]

Can't he just bring Marmol in for two outs? I know he pitched for two innings last night, but I'd really like to see marmol out ther tonight!

I think it should not be a problem because Marmol used to be a starter.

[ryno4ever]

They gave the attendance for today for the Brewers/Pirates game...just over 10,000 people! I was shocked! I guess we're spoiled to see a full house everytime we see a game!

[ryno4ever]

Thanks to Cubby fans everywhere that buy the tickets so we can afford Sori,D.LEE,Ramy,Z and the rest of our Cubbies!

[ryno4ever]

DeRo showing Hill some love.... gave him a big hug in the dugout!

[ryno4ever]

Lee seems to be running better now.... maybe a little bit of a limp, but not as bad as before.

[ryno4ever]

come on floyd!

http://i177.photobucket.com/albums/w224/ryno4ever/Happy%20times/aaaassss222.gif

[ryno4ever]

I found the secret with the angel, Mara, he really only shows up when Floyd is in the lineup!

[ryno4ever]

HILL'S BACK OUT!!!!!!

[ryno4ever]

He's well over 100 pitches! HOLY COW!

[ryno4ever]

Thanks to Cubby fans everywhere that buy the tickets so we can afford Sori,D.LEE,Ramy,Z and the rest of our Cubbies!


I'm pretty sure my contributions through ticket sales, souveniers, memorabalia, jerseys, t-shirts, books, etc... could probably account for much of that! LOL!

[ARamfan]

I found the secret with the angel, Mara, he really only shows up when Floyd is in the lineup!

You just realized that? I already knew that and when Cliff isn't in the lineup, I freak! :eek:

[ryno4ever]

Ah, Hill just wanted another ovation:

http://i177.photobucket.com/albums/w224/ryno4ever/Happy%20times/applause/ea4d2476.gif

Well deserved tonight!

[ryno4ever]

You just realized that? I already knew that and when Cliff isn't in the lineup, I freak! :eek:

I'll just have to keep looking for one that works when he's not in the lineup. Maybe a Harry Caray one....

[cubbyfanforever]

Come on ,Bobby,I hope he can pitch like yesterday!

[ARamfan]

come on rich! WAY TO GO RICH HILL! THANKS FOR A SOLID OUTING! IF YOU WERE AT WRIGLEY, YOU'D BE GETTING A STANDING O...SO HERE YOU GO, SINCE YOU ARE ON THE ROAD!

http://i177.photobucket.com/albums/w224/ryno4ever/not%20so%20fun%20times/prozac/tums.jpg

[cubbyfanforever]

The thing that I see is that when we lose ,its 1 or 2 runs,but it seams when STL. or Brew Crew lose,its a large margin.

[ryno4ever]

I can't take much more, but it's better than last night.

Only because we still have a slight lead instead of being tied!

[cubbyfanforever]

What was that,Scott Eyre peaking through the score board! SCARY!

What was that,Scott Eyre peaking through the score board! SCARY!

That would be Scott Eyre.

[cubbyfanforever]

COOL!

That is funny,they keep showing Scott Eyre!

[ryno4ever]

That is soooo funny! He could spit on Carlos Lee...and then duck and Lee woudn't know what hit him!

[ARamfan]

Heather, did I hear that Ryan Dempster is up?:eek: It doesn't matter that we are up by 2 if he comes in!

[ryno4ever]

As far as I'm concerned, every night with him is a potential disaster! It just depends on the other factors that occur at the moment. Sometimes...he lucks out. :rolleyes:

I will be late getting on tomorrow night...I don't get off work until 8pm, then I have to pick up my son from his dad's house.... so I'll try to jump on during the game, if it is still on after I get home and get junior to bed.

[Doba]

I had to leave the house and go for a walk. I couldn't bear to watch it. Thank god they pulled it off.

We all need to. I'm telling you right now, I can not take this kind of dramatic ninth inning again! That's ridiculous to expect us fans to deal with that. Let's get Ryan a ticket to Aruba for the next few weeks! :rolleyes:

[ARamfan]

I'm going for a walk now, Doba. It's the ONLY way I can deal with this. Thank God it's only 8:15 here in Phx. ;)

See you tomorrow, Heather. We'll all sleep well knowing that we're in 1st place again! ;)

I went back three pages on the game thread and I think Ron Santo could have posted everyone of those posts. ;)

Maybe that is why I love Ronnie so much.... I'm just like him. Gosh, poor Ronnie... his heart can't take much more of these kind of games!

I heard on ESPN 1000 today, that MLB is going to switch the World Series format again, that instead of home field advantage being determined by the All Star game, it will be whoever has the best record.

i really hope that isnt true... it gives the all-star game more of a purpose you know... they wont show boat
