On his XM show today, Charley Steiner and Mike Shannon were talking and Charley said, “So sad to hear about the passing of Chip Caray.”
Shannon agreed and then after about a minute, Charley corrected and said, “Skip Caray.”
Happiest minute of my day so far.
August 5th, 2008 at 1:25 pm
I’m conspicuously absent from the lineup. I have post-traumatic stress from all the scary lightning last night.
August 5th, 2008 at 1:27 pm
Seriously, did you see how much of a vag I was last night?
August 5th, 2008 at 1:38 pm
At least Kosuke didn’t strike out. I love that I’m happy for him that he was able to slap a fly ball into left. What a difference half a season makes.
August 5th, 2008 at 1:41 pm
What did I do last night?
August 5th, 2008 at 1:43 pm
I completely lost my shit when the thunder and lightning started.
August 5th, 2008 at 1:45 pm
Went and hid in the dugout and delayed the start of the 8th inning until I grew a pair.
August 5th, 2008 at 1:46 pm
of the Fat Elvis hiding?
August 5th, 2008 at 1:47 pm
That’s my unearned run.
August 5th, 2008 at 1:53 pm
Not the initial incident. This is a few minutes later when they call the game: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7BXPcnuBeMw
August 5th, 2008 at 1:57 pm
Why am I bunting with no outs in the second inning? I have the most hits on the team.
August 5th, 2008 at 1:57 pm
Did you hear the news! I have another joey!!
Little Richie Harden I’ll call him
August 5th, 2008 at 1:59 pm
According to ESPN Gamecast, Blum was caught stealing and then scored. The umps giving the Asstros mulligans today?
August 5th, 2008 at 1:59 pm
“After a lengthy rain delay during the Cubs/Astros game, play resumed. In the 8th, a large thunder and lightning storm moved in, but play continued. Lance Berkman, after initially refusing to go on the field and join his team, decided he would take off his “chain” ( I never understand why on earth a MLB player needs to wear any gold or silver during a game, we all know they make a bunch of money)
A rather loud bout of thunder hit, along with a bolt of lightning which appeared to strike the very high metal pole above the scoreboard where the flags fly at Wrigley. At this point, Berkman sprinted off the field. No one else did, just him.
Now, this game may or may not should have been going on at the time, that’s not the point. The point is, there’s people out there getting paid to make sure your safety is being ensured, suck it up and play the game, don’t be a whiny little girl, get scared, and run from your position.
Confirmed, Lance Berkman, biggest P*SSY in the league.”

I dropped the throw that would have nailed Blum stealing. He proceeded to score on the Erstad single.
August 5th, 2008 at 2:03 pm
That should make up for the dropped throw.
August 5th, 2008 at 2:12 pm
*crickets*
August 5th, 2008 at 2:17 pm
Not many people survive a lightning strike, dipshits.
August 5th, 2008 at 2:17 pm
I have been fooled badly the last two days on balls I thought were gone.
August 5th, 2008 at 2:19 pm
Yeah, well a bunch of us ran off the practice field at Bourbon-a last night when the sirens went off and lightning flashed (it was shown on Comcast).
August 5th, 2008 at 2:29 pm
It’s not manly to stand outside in a lightning storm. It’s stupid.
August 5th, 2008 at 2:31 pm
It is in fact fun to stand in the middle of a large body of water holding an umbrella during a storm though!
August 5th, 2008 at 2:32 pm
Am I really playing second for the Astros?
August 5th, 2008 at 2:33 pm
Fart…
August 5th, 2008 at 2:49 pm
All the people who used to post during the games have gone somewhere else to post because the quality of the content on Cubs Live has dropped off dramatically. I guess the rest of us were not cool enough to be invited to that party. Anyway, these posts suck.
Berkman’s a pussy.
I’m out.
August 5th, 2008 at 2:55 pm
I’m not real good today. I may need an extra day or two before my next start.
August 5th, 2008 at 2:57 pm
it’s not repetitive at all to have someone bitching during every single CubsLive about how bad they are. We get it, you don’t like them.
So, what’re the odds on Harden hitting the DL after this one?
August 5th, 2008 at 3:10 pm
My next start is scheduled to be 8/12 in Atlanta, so I’ll have six days off.
And can we score a damn guy? DP Lee and A-Ram are gonna hit into one, so they should’ve sent Fonzie.
August 5th, 2008 at 3:11 pm
Dammit. I knew as soon as Soriano got held up we were screwed.
August 5th, 2008 at 3:14 pm
Here we go!
August 5th, 2008 at 3:19 pm
Talk about pitching him carefully…
August 5th, 2008 at 3:20 pm

August 5th, 2008 at 3:20 pm
I’ll just give up a 2 run homer Lou, don’t worry about me walkin him
August 5th, 2008 at 3:20 pm
This is ******* embarrassing. This is on Lou as much as it is Gas Can Howry. How in the f–k can you NOT pitch around Lee there.
August 5th, 2008 at 3:21 pm
We DFA’d the wrong guy
August 5th, 2008 at 3:21 pm
I am a disgusting excuse for a human being.
The lightning should have struck me.
August 5th, 2008 at 3:23 pm
Our turn to get swept at home.
What a goddamn joke.
August 5th, 2008 at 3:26 pm
I will not pitch to Carlos Lee. I will not pitch to Carlos Lee. I will not pitch to Carlos Lee. I will not pitch to Carlos Lee. I will not pitch to Carlos Lee. I will not pitch to Carlos Lee. I will not pitch to Carlos Lee. I will not pitch to Carlos Lee. I will not pitch to Carlos Lee. I will not pitch to Carlos Lee. I will not pitch to Carlos Lee. I will not pitch to Carlos Lee. I will not pitch to Carlos Lee. I will not pitch to Carlos Lee. I will not pitch to Carlos Lee. I will not pitch to Carlos Lee. I will not pitch to Carlos Lee. I will not pitch to Carlos Lee. I will not pitch to Carlos Lee. I will not pitch to Carlos Lee. I will not pitch to Carlos Lee.
August 5th, 2008 at 3:27 pm
Whee! Here comes the comeback!!
If you can’t be bipolar while watching a Cubs game, when can you?
August 5th, 2008 at 3:29 pm
2nd and 3rd w/no outs. Great time to not strike out Fukkake
August 5th, 2008 at 3:43 pm
I’m now playing first. Is the lightning gone?
August 5th, 2008 at 3:44 pm
That was truly selfish of me.
August 5th, 2008 at 3:45 pm
Soriano. ****. Yeah. I thought he couldn’t hit with 2 strikes too.
It’s kinda criminal that BSB is now in line to get the W.
August 5th, 2008 at 3:45 pm
The lightning is gone… BUT THE THUNDER REMAINS!
August 5th, 2008 at 3:45 pm
Pretty sweet-looking when it results in a 3-run job. wow.
August 5th, 2008 at 3:48 pm
Kind of fun getting hits again in bunches.
August 5th, 2008 at 3:51 pm
Where there is thunder, there is lighting.
I’m Gone!
August 5th, 2008 at 3:52 pm
I feel responsible for the quality dropoff of the Cubs Lives. I’ve only been able to do more than set them up for a handful of them. But as the fall approaches, I’ll be around to whip you morans into shape.
August 5th, 2008 at 3:53 pm
Harden gave up four earned runs? That’s like a month for him.
And it’s awfully nice to see Kerry Lee Wood back on the mound.
August 5th, 2008 at 3:53 pm
Please let those deskbound know how Wood looks.
August 5th, 2008 at 3:53 pm
Speaking of months, I have three hits today. See you in September!
August 5th, 2008 at 3:54 pm
Lazy flyball to center, first out.
Nineteen hopper up the middle for an Erstad “single.”
Quintero way late on a fastball, flyball to right.
So far, so gouda.
August 5th, 2008 at 3:56 pm
I just recovered from the vapors I suffered when that lightning flashed last night.
Not enough to do anything but line to center. Four up, three down. Standing O from the Wrigley faithful for Kerry.
Shit, we’re drunk, we’d give a standing O to a ham sandwich, but still, he certainly wasn’t Howry-esque after three weeks off.
August 5th, 2008 at 3:56 pm
Hey, Howry! I thought you said this shit was hard!
Screw it, let me pitch the ninth, too.
August 5th, 2008 at 4:02 pm
Ugh.
August 5th, 2008 at 4:05 pm
I think some of it MAY have to do with not having the comments numbered now. But I guess that had its own pitfalls. Any way you bring numbered comments back?
August 5th, 2008 at 4:11 pm
Flappity
August 5th, 2008 at 4:11 pm
Flappity, flap-flap, ogdens…
August 5th, 2008 at 4:26 pm
How do you like those apples?
Although I still posed after that homerun despite it landing into the first row.
August 6th, 2008 at 8:47 am
Oh. My. God.

Andy can’t be solely responsible for me. Unless he was posting 75% of the posts under different names, I think there have been some desipiot deserters. Andy, if you are the one posting 75% of the content, I have to hand it to you for a job well done. I really look forward to many of the crazy things posted during the game.
