I have a personality disorder.
August 22nd, 2008 at 1:30 pm
Why do I have to come when the Cubs are playing…..because I can HAHAHA!
August 22nd, 2008 at 1:30 pm
This is emotionally exhausting…
August 22nd, 2008 at 1:31 pm
much better.
August 22nd, 2008 at 1:36 pm
I didn’t realize that the comments weren’t working right if you used Explorer. I’m not sure why anybody would use Explorer. But until that’s fixed, we’re going to switch back to the old Desipio for the Gamecasts.
August 22nd, 2008 at 1:37 pm
The only thing keeping those pants up is the grace of God.
Wow, was I one ugly, oddly shaped human.
August 22nd, 2008 at 1:38 pm
HANG in there!
August 22nd, 2008 at 1:38 pm
Who was the ball girl in 1988? She’s not bad.
August 22nd, 2008 at 1:39 pm
Do you think I realized that the button I hit wasn’t actually hooked up to anything?
August 22nd, 2008 at 1:39 pm
Back in 1988 I knew it was going to rain about 8:15, but I told Roan it wouldn’t until after midnight just so he’d be out there and get his hair fucked up.
That doesn’t work anymore. He’s all scalp.
August 22nd, 2008 at 1:40 pm
Imagine there’s no rain delay
It’s easy if you try
August 22nd, 2008 at 1:41 pm
Ermagern ieeeeeeeee! Ieeeeeeeeeeeee! Ieeeeee!
Ieeee! Yow! Ieeee!
August 22nd, 2008 at 1:41 pm
Either my tux is six sizes too big, or I weighed 1200 pounds in 1988.
August 22nd, 2008 at 1:42 pm
I played for the Padres?
August 22nd, 2008 at 1:44 pm
Blah, blah, blah. Somebody feed me.
August 22nd, 2008 at 1:44 pm
I was a Padre?
August 22nd, 2008 at 1:46 pm
I’m glad they didn’t schedule any night games at Wrigley when I played there.
We didn’t have any lights!
August 22nd, 2008 at 1:48 pm
I was loaded up with Consort Hair Spray that night.
August 22nd, 2008 at 1:50 pm
by the way, the next Cards pitcher of the DL (Wainwright) is starting tonight…what’s the over/under on pitches before he gets hurt too?
August 22nd, 2008 at 1:50 pm
The tarp is OFF THE FIELD!
August 22nd, 2008 at 1:51 pm
What do you think he bowled in that last night?
August 22nd, 2008 at 1:54 pm
I just homered. Do I play for the Nats now?
Wait, is Rick Sutcliffe pitching for the Cubs?
Why is it so dark out?
August 22nd, 2008 at 1:54 pm
Remember, I was an all-star that year.
August 22nd, 2008 at 1:55 pm
My ass is casting a shadow over home plate. Somebody better adjust these lights.
August 22nd, 2008 at 1:57 pm
Maybe Gordon would rather I play than Kosuke? Did you see my range there?
August 22nd, 2008 at 2:04 pm
Oh how I wish I could’ve blogged about that Sandberg HR.
August 22nd, 2008 at 2:06 pm
Holy crap, until I saw my own fat ass in the dugout, I forgot I existed!
August 22nd, 2008 at 2:07 pm
Chelios.
August 22nd, 2008 at 2:24 pm
I think I was the ball girl in ‘88, if that was after Marla Collins’ stint.
August 22nd, 2008 at 2:39 pm
My actual spelling. And I was a cutie.
August 22nd, 2008 at 2:40 pm
I stole home, bitches! FYCTC!
August 22nd, 2008 at 2:41 pm
Brickhouse sucked.
August 22nd, 2008 at 2:41 pm
Selfishly stealing home.
August 22nd, 2008 at 2:43 pm
Can someone explain the steal of home for us working stiffs without video access?
August 22nd, 2008 at 2:44 pm
Aramis K, D-Lee swipes second, Soriano steals home
August 22nd, 2008 at 2:46 pm
No, the Cubs sucked, the whole friggin’ time. Did I piss and moan (like Caray or Santo?) No, I was relentlessly optimistic. And I got nothing. Zero post-season games. I took the crumbs the team gave and tried to make somethin’ out of it. F you all.
Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
August 22nd, 2008 at 2:50 pm
I recommend using an auto-refreshing box score, like on Yahoo…
August 22nd, 2008 at 2:51 pm
Marquis strikes out two in one inning? When was the last time that happened? I’m writing the Muskrat right now.
August 22nd, 2008 at 2:56 pm
Furthermore, I hooked an entire generation of kids living within rabbit-ear range of WGN’s signal on a shitty Cub team, back when “Wrigleyville” had more in common with crime-rrific Uptown than the bar-infused playground of today.
I know of at least one poster, who takes his handle from the profound fatness of Rick Reuschel, who probably would have ended up a Sox fan if not for my endearing calls of those afternoon games, as he was pretty much the only Cub fan in his neighborhood growing up.
Just sayin’.
August 22nd, 2008 at 2:57 pm
I thought I was assasinated.
August 22nd, 2008 at 3:07 pm
DLee is king of the diamond!
August 22nd, 2008 at 3:22 pm
Anyone?
August 22nd, 2008 at 3:23 pm
I think Jack takes an unfair ripping and I enjoy piling on from time to time. He basically invented TV play by play, at least in Chicago, he did every sport, he did political conventions and news and all kinds of stuff. He had a great voice, (except when he was yelling Wheeee!, which was at least geniuine). He was just one ugly mutha. He’d have no chance today.
He suffered through some horrendously bad baseball, and never stopped loving the teams he covered.
I just thought when his widow complained about not having a statue for him (I know there’s one near Tribune Tower) outside the ballpark, that somebody should have told her “Harry was no Cary Grant, but he was a helluva lot better looking than your husband.”
August 22nd, 2008 at 3:23 pm
I homer every day, whether I need to or not!
August 22nd, 2008 at 3:27 pm
Williams in left, Young in Center, Callison in right. Santo, Kessinger, Beckert, Banks, the infield third to first.
Battery of Holtzman and Hundley. Kenny is 7 and 3 on the year with a 2.88 ERA and three complete games.
The upper deck is open, and we’ve got a good crowd on hand today, probably more than 20,000. Being Friday, it’s Ladies Day- half price grandstand tickets for all you gals, so if you’re in the neighborhood, stop on by!
August 22nd, 2008 at 3:30 pm
That’s a pretty well hit ball…back she goes…back, back, back…
HEY HEY!
August 22nd, 2008 at 3:31 pm
Now you defend Brickhouse? Where were you when I needed you a few months ago!
August 22nd, 2008 at 3:31 pm
Leonard just said the reason Marquis sucks in the second half is because he “tries too hard.” What the fu$% does that even mean? He sucks because he sucks.
August 22nd, 2008 at 3:43 pm
My August Whip is 1.28, I am 2 and 1 with an admittedly high 4.59 ERA (not counting the game I am pitching). I havent really sucked this month
August 22nd, 2008 at 3:46 pm
Nice jinx, 49. Thanks.
August 22nd, 2008 at 3:47 pm
Or… new three hitter?
August 22nd, 2008 at 3:48 pm
Watch it now!
August 22nd, 2008 at 3:54 pm
Get me the **** off this roster.
**** this shit.
August 22nd, 2008 at 3:55 pm
That didn’t take long.
August 22nd, 2008 at 3:55 pm
I’m not watching the game. HONEST!
August 22nd, 2008 at 3:55 pm
You were saying?
August 22nd, 2008 at 3:56 pm
I just said Marquis du Suc can’t get the win. No shit, Mr. Obvious.
August 22nd, 2008 at 3:57 pm
Marquis, go walk in front of a bus, you loser.
August 22nd, 2008 at 3:58 pm
We’re 45-83 with the worst offense in baseball by far.
Fortunately, we got to see Marquis and Cotts.
August 22nd, 2008 at 3:58 pm
I seriously was gone for 5 mins and this shit happens…WTF!?!?!
August 22nd, 2008 at 3:58 pm
Guys, he was just trying to hard. Not his fault.
August 22nd, 2008 at 3:59 pm
It was Cotts that gave up the gopher ball there, but I suck [although less than other 5th starters out there].
August 22nd, 2008 at 4:01 pm
Is going downhill quickly.
August 22nd, 2008 at 4:04 pm
I’ll save the day.
August 22nd, 2008 at 4:06 pm
This loss isn’t going fast enough, time for Howry to bring the gas can
August 22nd, 2008 at 4:06 pm
Don’t forget me!
August 22nd, 2008 at 4:08 pm
It is time for a big f’in inning
August 22nd, 2008 at 4:10 pm
If the Cubs come back to take the lead, THEN go on to score additional runs, the second set of runs will be “insurance runs”. You should buy some insurance.
August 22nd, 2008 at 4:14 pm
At least they’re burning the three shittiest pitchers on the team in one game…
August 22nd, 2008 at 4:16 pm
In effigy, or for real? Either way, I approve.
August 22nd, 2008 at 4:32 pm
Is it time for me yet?
August 22nd, 2008 at 4:33 pm
woof.
August 22nd, 2008 at 4:42 pm
We love playing the Cubs.
August 22nd, 2008 at 4:46 pm
We swept the Nationals this year. How difficult can it be?
August 22nd, 2008 at 4:49 pm
On the plus side, we’re not likely to run into Washington in the playoffs!
August 22nd, 2008 at 4:50 pm
Any ole kinda 5-run outburst will keep the Cubs chances alive here.
Did you know the Cubs are among the league leaders in 5-run innings?
August 22nd, 2008 at 4:54 pm
Mae that a 6-run inning. But we’ve got some hot bats due up!
August 22nd, 2008 at 4:56 pm
Indeed.
August 22nd, 2008 at 5:02 pm
8 runs? Weeeeeeeeeeeeee stink!
August 22nd, 2008 at 5:03 pm
When did i get so huge? I make the fat kangaroo look downright slim.
August 22nd, 2008 at 5:18 pm
We just rang up 3% of our entire scoring output for this season.
******* embarrassing.
August 24th, 2008 at 1:15 am
The post about ’shit teams in the NL’ loving playing the Cubs is silly considering the Cubs have a dominant record against teams below .500, and are only a few over against the rest.
