Hey, if we’re throwing the game anyway, why not play me at short? Maybe I can learn it in like a week or two, and play there once Walker comes back and Neifi turns into a pumpkin.
What a steaming pile of offensive futility.
I’m in the lineup! I’ll handle the offense today!
The lineup doesn’t have to bother scoring, because we can’t hold a lead anyway.
griffey is playing three straight days, but e-ramis can’t. Baker you are a complete jackass. I bet Dubois won’t see the field for two weeks due to his “Brant Brown” play in left. But it didn’t even hurt us since we doubled up Sean “DP” Casey.
Hey Dusty you’re a jackass…I didn’t sign a 44 million dollar contract to sit on the bench!
I am an assclown.
This lineup is pathetic….
andy: you left out hairston, but I get your point, it’s the same with or without him…it’s like we’re playing with 8 players all the time.
I’m waiting for Dusty to make a last minute change:
Lee doesn’t play and his place is taken by Augie Ojeda.
Crap, I did leave out Jerry. Better fix that.
Yo, I should be batting third.
Yahoo sports has this:
J. Hairston Jr. 2b
N. Perez ss
C. Patterson cf
D. Lee 1b
J. Burnitz rf
T. Hollandsworth lf
J. Macias 3b
H. Blanco c
R. Dempster p
Voice: normally it’s like we’re playing with 8 players. Today, we’re giving it a go with 5.
Let me at ’em!
By endorsing National City Bank, am I subtly saying “Fuck you Chuck?”
I’m almost healthy guys!
Good news, Joe Borowski threw a simulated game today.
Bad news, he blew the simulated save.
I was going to play Jason Dewboys today, but he dropped that flyball. So I went with the defensive outfield, with Hollandsworth. He only drops the throws.
I had nine simulated hits!
Watch Baker say that he needed to give ARAM a day off even though they have 2 off days in the next 5 days. He just needs an excuse to put Macias in the lineup. Asshole.
Len Kasper is teasing me!
I mean he’s teasing the news about me being brought up. I am the Latino Ice Man!
I sat in the dugout during the simulated game. Did that give me a simulated day off? Can I play now?
Is anybody else creeped out by the Beneful commercial where the guy is washing his dog and there’s no water in the tub? Methinks he’s the kind of guy who isn’t above feeding the dog by rubbing peanut butter on his balls.
Dusty said the Iceman needed work just like Wellemeyer. They just weren’t getting any work. Well who’s fault is that you fat bastard.
My HWEqBA is not negative .150! That’s insane. You can’t have a negative average!
Can you?
My trophy case is full of simulated Cy Young Awards.
Brave!
If the Astros start to “put it together” when the cubs play them, i will lose it.
We are having an Illini Day at Busch Stadium! Muahahahahha!
He Gone!
We’ll be facing Greggie’s corpse Friday, so you pretty much count on it.
I look good, no?
My plan is to get 27 strikeouts and hit a HR in order to win this game.
Thank god Hank is catching me today. I’m gonna get 20 K’s!
Dempster has good command of me today so far.
I had good command of the gas the other night
Any request, bitches?
I feel like hitting for the cycle today. Should I start with a triple?
Am I retarded?
24 more to go.
Man, I’m kind of a mouth-breather too, just like Dumpster.
Well, there I am. Sitting on my ass.
Honesty compels me to say that you won’t find a finer defensive backstop than Jason Larue! That right there was a shining example of brilliant defense!
Len is stealing my material.
Could I be any slower?
I’m also PSYCHIC!!!!
I might be too good. Now please don’t strand me here.
You know the drill.
Feel the Neifury!
How do people get their Cubs fix at work? MLB radio from mlb.com or XM radio? MLB.TV? a real tv? Anyone know of a free way to listen to the game or watch it other than the gamecast from websites and here?
If you’re going to hit for the cycle, might as well get the triple out of the way first.
Don’t look at me Corey, that one’s on you.
Thanks, Corey, for giving me that RBI!
Thank you for the calendar Andy.
I’m a stud.
The Cubs would be 6-14 without us.
Okay, I’ve got my one run.
Between Neifi! and Me we are carrying this team to the playoffs..
pat says i have “slight discomfort” and that is why i’m sitting…. Every time i see Macias playing 3b i have slight discomfort in my Anal area
We’re probably experiencing some discomfort in our groins, too, especially as the last couple years have been like a kick to that area.
Slider looks good so far too. Had him reaching on that one.
Miss Wood has a clean bill of health and will be available to pitch Saturday.
See that? Even when I don’t know where the ball is, Dunn is afraid to run on me.
No gold glove in my immediate future, huh.
Off days aren’t very good for my defense, apparently.
How do you catch the ball?
I took notes from Jim Edmonds to see how it’s done. I’m expecting a Gold Glove this year.
No TV, no radio. What happened?
Yeah, the gold glove is mine forever. I NEVER make really stupid plays, huh? Especially not two in one game, like last week in St Louis.
All you jack asses talk shit on the internet. I bet none of you have balls to call me a pussy to my face.
I still have to clench my cheeks for a while.
Are we flirting on the air?
Wheeeeeeee! You tell ’em, honeybunch!
No kidding, Kerry. You internet shit-talkers! You would never insult me to my face, if you know what’s good for you!
Why not, Pat and Ron? Why….when the Astros are in town, there’s few things better than a Beege on the air!
You got that right Macias, you got me scared shitless.
I think I’ve got Harang scared, too!
I shall call all of you from now on “Internet Warriors”. If you have balls, call me a pussy when you see me around town or at the game.
No one talks shit about my little brother.
Miss Wood,
Please be careful while you use the Internet. You can get carpal tunnel, you know.
Fuck all of you
Good thing I remember how to hit a ball
Wheeeeeeee!
another example of a gutless bastard who has no balls who calls people out on the internet.
Nooooooooo!
Leave me alone, Wood! I have guts AND spunk!
Now a pitcher has to lead off the next inning.
Hit and run with Macias and Hank? If he gets blown up you have the pitcher leading off. Nice one Dusty.
Miss Wood,
Are you experiencing some pre-menstrual crankiness? Please make an appointment to come to my office. Hopefully, I have treatment for you.
I would be a good way to quiet the Internet warriors.
How can anyone be sure there’s a shoreline anywhere near Wrigley>
First they have to get past me! Although I am quakin’ in mah cowboy boots over Neifury.
I’m supposed to be back in the lineup this weekend.
I figured out how to use the internet!
I hate Casey
Gooooo Yankees!
Good, let me bean Fat Lance for real this time. Who cares if I get a suspension? I suck anyway.
How can you hate me, air2300, without knowing me? Why don’t you tell it to my face?
I can’t be all bad. I was traded for Dave Burba once.
Am I suspended yet?
Walk, K or HR?
Bases loaded, one out. Where’s the “Dempster looks great” crowd?
Let’s see if he gives up the granny or walks in a run…
No one scores on a wild pitch on my watch!
2 down, 1 more to go.
I have no idea what I am saying about Lake Michigan and the shoreline. I am a clueless fool….
Walk, K and HR is my own personal cycle. 2/3 of the way there.
Got me the K. 2 outs, bases still loaded.
Can anyone on this team throw strikes?
“Dempy”? My god, that’s just embarrassing.
Life would be better if Dempster threw more of me.
I hit for the cycle, without pulling a muscle?
I have no control over my stuff. I never did and I never will.
Oh, kill me.
This one is over boys.
Lasted about 3 seconds on my television today.
Turned it on — saw Felipe Lopez take a swing — turned if off.
We are dominating so far.
Aw, fuck the Southern Comfort… I have to call Kevin Towers and see if I can borrow the crackpipe that Ken Caminiti willed to him.
This team is in trouble, folks.
Ant time they want to stop walking guys is alright with me.
Hey,I finally threw a strike!
Wheee
Aren’t I supposed to be some sort of genius, I’m confused.
That pipe will cost you Prior and Zambrano, buddy. Let me go back and plan another Ken Caminiti Day. Alan Wiggins Day is next week.
I did criticize Zambrano a little bit in the 1st inning. Don’t forget it…
I made Jarret Wright good. I am a genius.
Look! I am on the telly.
Where will I wind up in July?
LA?
Oakland?
Texas?
Florida?
Atlanta?
Flushing?
The Bronx?
Boston?
That Lopez is some knda special hitter, folks.
You’re not going anywhere, Greg. That big third year is going to vest here in Chicago.
70 pitches through 3 innings. Good the thing the bullpen is well rested.
Thanks Chip, but really. i’m not that good at all.
You’re not going anywhere, Greggie. You have to stick it your contract and experience the fun you missed out on when you played in Atlanta all those years.
We’ll be offering a case of tacos, a life raft, and some tanning lotion for that Maddux fellow.
stick out your contract, that is
And Grudz just hit for the cycle in St. Louis. I hate baseball.
You’re right, Brian. No contending team would trade for a crafty starter with 315 wins under his belt in mid-July. Especially, if it means they’re stuck with him the following year!
Bring me in! It’s probably my day to pitch on the side and I didn’t even go five innings yesterday. Further, I have some more beanings I need to work out on these c*cksu*cking Reds.
Hey, you wanna pay Maddux third year, I’d be for the trade.
Even if my impulse tells me that Greg Maddux is vital to a World Series, I won’t be pressuring anyone in my organization to pursue him at the cost of overpaying him in 2006.
If it makes anyone feel better, I was up to my old tricks in Boston yesterday. I was looking to the bullpen with my hands on my hips and tears welling in my eyes after the first couple of hitters.
Why not trade me if teams are looking for a fourth starter (which is what Maddux would be for most teams)?
I resent the inference that Sissy Clement tried to bean me yesterday. So I hit 2 single from him, buddy.
Well, I’m getting turned off now.
Nice play Korey!
How far out was he?
Well, I’m not worried about any FYC’s directed at me for a while.
This guy is bad, bad, bad.
Corey was out by a country mile.
How does Patterson get thrown out at home trying to score on an infield single? Gamecast doesn’t have a description for this apparent idiocy.
Corey wasn’t any more faked out on that throw than the camera guy was who followed the throw past Casey and into the camera pit.
FYC! Fuck You, Corey, that is.
You fair-weather bastards, buy a blue rubber band and have some faith in us. As Len & Bob pointed out, we’re 2nd in runs scored, tied for 1st in HR’s and Neifi is going for the NL batting title.
Thats a good play if we are only down by 1 or so. Its not so good when we are down by 4. Corey must have stopped rounding 3rd, because I think he would have been safe had he been going full speed on contact.
We’re tough in the inning immediately after we give up at least four runs! Larry teaches us that kind of resiliency!
Oooooohhhhhhhh nooooo!!!!!
Corey never slows down on the bases. It’s not like he did it on Sunday and had to speed up again to barely make it home. Oh, wait.
I swear, it would kill some of these guys to play hard.
I was too sick to pitch this week in St. Louis, but I think I’ll be all better next week.
Looking at all of the photos of Ryne on his personal tour of Cooperstown, I am reminded and re-inspired that someone with Downs’ Syndrome could be such a good baseball player.
Dude, everbody knows that guys who play hard all the time get hurt.
I think if Todd Hollandsworth has done anything this year, he’s cleared up the misconception that I shared with several others that his injury really cost the Cubs last year. Thanks, Todd!
What Dusty said!
I taked almost 100 points on my average with one at bat!
Suck it!
How is Hollandsworth any better than a corpse right now, let alone Dubois?
Jose can play, second, short, third and any spot in the outfield.
But he can play none of them well.
Whoo! I’m hot!
FYC!
Well, Andy, since I was a pinch-hitter last year and when I got hurt the first guy off the bench became Walker, who couldn’t PH at all, my injury probably did hurt the Cubs last year.
Excuse me while I whip this out.
Speaking of the Beneful commercial, if you happen to see me in my latest starring role: That life insurance commercial with my 6 1/2 foot tall wife who’s 30 years younger than me, you’ll notice I’m in the background at the sink, pretending like I’m doing the dishes. Yet, there are no dishes in the sink, and I’m not handling anything at all. I even pretend like I’m shaking the water off the dishes… that’s called Method Acting you young fuckers.
In defense of Corey’s baserunning, he had to try and score. It’s not like any of the next 5 hitters would be able to knock him in from 3rd.
Jeebus, Brenly is obsessed with having the pitcher make the last out of an inning isn’t he?
Spoken like a lifetime eight place hitter, I suppose.
Chalk that one up to my HWEqBA! That baby had some hair on it!
Hank’s even worse than advertised.
Time to start a Gabor for LaTroy trade rumor.
I’d rather have any of our starting pitchers lead off an inning than Macias or Blanco.
Looks like I shot my wad in the Cactus League.
The same doctor went back-to-back with groin surgeries on Nomar and Magglio. See, if the Cubs had signed Maggs they could have gotten a discount on the second operation.
And yes, there’s a Cindy Sandberg joke in that first sentence someplace.
4-17, baby!
Oh, and we’re 13-7.
You see the problem on that pop-up was that Blanco was calling for it in Spanish and Macias speaks Mexican!
Hate me, Cubs fans…
If Austin Kearns played any worse this week he’d still be in line for a trade to the Cubs.
Back in the day, I would be starting almost every game…and not just in the Venezuelan league.
Did any of you know that Jeff Santo did a movie on his dad? It’s called This Old Cub…
Walking guys is fun!
There’s still a chance for the Cubs to get that 2 for 1 discount on groin surgery. Groin surgeries for everybody!
I’m not putting the 2005 Cubs on my resume.
We’ve started a new club, it’s the Internet-Rainbow Warriors!
I got out of the 5th inning! In your face, Carlos!
Yahoo shows Dumpster on 1st, but says he struck out bunting foul. How the hell did he manage that?
We don’t read most of the bullshit you idiots send us, but don’t feel bad. Now if you excuse me, I’m gonna hit the head. Andy Masur will call the balls and strikes.
That’s our job Andy, why don’t you just go get Mr. Santo a beer?
Awwww, maaan… dangit’ – shoot – geeeez. Come onnnn
I’ll be dropping my black pants with a brown belt and making a deposit in the white toilet.
I’m pretty sure Mr. Santo would prefer something stronger than a beer today
Redbirds win, folks! Chris Carpenter throws another gem.
Are the image functions working yet?
Will Oh’man’ my elbow…is warming up.
Yes, we’d make these gamecasts a lot more fun.
How does Jimenez go from first to third on a single to left?
Here comes the fun part of the game.
Dusty let Dempster hit for himself so he could go back on the mound and do nothing?
Hey, I’m in left!
The fun part of Cubs games at least.
[img]”https://www.desipio.com/images/icons/cubslive2005.jpg[/img]
This division is ours.
morpheus, it was lofted over the infield and hung in the air a long time. The outfield must have been playing back, Hollandsworth had just grabbed the ball by the time Jimenez was at third.
Get ready to puke
Cardinals will have this Division wrapped up by Mother’s Day.
This is my specialty, dude. Managing the bullpen and weird lineup switches is what I’m all about, man.
Breathe easy, bitches. I’m on the case
Golf clap for Mickey Rooney’s post.
Nice bunt, yes.
I’m the new DePaul coach! At least until I take the job at some other school in 2 or 3 years!
Say what you want about him, but he can freakin’ smoke on the basepaths.
I should be managing this fucking team.
Where will I be traded by July? I’m awesome.
im the one good thing about the cubs this year
Real clap D-Lee’s new calendar!!
I’m sorry guys, I just can’t stop hitting, I am awesome.
And those of you who scoff at Derrek, let me ask you how the Cubs’ last player-manager who played first base did?
Oh shit, David Weathers is coming!
I admire Leon Lee.
Especially the way he exposes himself to the ladies.
Ron,
It never hurts to advertise.
Shut up, Santo. Why don’t you pimp your stupid movie some more?
You got brain-damaged from fighting and getting beaned so much, Frank.
But that crazy crazy 1908 season made it all worth while!
Shove your golf clap up your ass you sweaty, little masturbator.
Come on, you pussies…load the bases so I can hit a grand slam!
No reason to try me here, huh?
When was the last time I didn’t ground out?
Thanks, Johnny. You know, some guy wrote a book about you, me, and Tinker. And 1907 wasn’t bad.
But how much did it suck to lose the ’06 Series?
I guess right there.
Just now!
Fear me!
See, I got some good weapons on the bench. Dude.
At last, a good use of Macias… the sac bunt.
Let me just do my thang.
My decisions almost make sense today.
No mas.
Please get the runner from 3rd in.
I hate this goddamn team. Except for Dlee
Weathers vs White. Classic.
I just said all the letters in the word “Ohman” are also in the word “momentum”.
After Barrett’s at-bat, I guess that means “to stop it”.
I could have done that
Is this version pic-friendly?
Whoa! Board went chpater 11 I see.
wtf?
Apparently this isn’t pic friendly yet.
We’ve made the gamecast go mad.
Yahoo says I’m on the Pirates.
Is how you strand runners.
Runner on third and less than 2 outs stranded.
Again.
This is a recording.
but I really hate Michael Barrett.
I changed back to an old version of the comments to see if that one allowed e-mail address display and images. But no. So, off to plan b…
I just hacked your silly gamecast, faggots.
Fix the pix, Andy! I wanna post that HOT swimsuit shot of me and Rog to cheer y’all up!
but I really love Hank White.
This is the biggest bunch of sucks that have ever sucked
Anyone wanna buy a new jacket?
Jesus, I think my retarded kid might have come up with some of those designs.
I am elusive
You guys should have traded for me this winter. I’m good. Your outfielders, on the other hand, not so good.
I can walk people, too!
You aren’t that good Kearns
Did we just hear some boos?
Under .500 after 21 games having played 3 against ‘Zona, 5 against Pitt, 6 against Cinci and 3 against the Brewers.
Looking forward to seeing the Dodgers, Braves, Cards, Marlins.
Ugh. Sub – .500 season on the way.
Dempster
Ohman
Novoa
We look like fucking KC.
Hi, guys!
I’m a moran.
What’ll it be, boys — a double or HR?
that is all
KC looks more like the Cubs than this bunch. KC has Sisco.
Looking back at the catcher is still legal, right?
An FYC moment? Or sucky as usual…
Corey’s back in one of those 15 for 135 streaks.
We look just like the Royals! We have blue uniforms and a fountain in centerfield!
Wait, no, that’s a drunk guy peeing on the warning track.
Well, Corey’s got two hits today, so does that mean he has to go 13 for his next 135?
Yeah. He just missed a homer and has two hits today.
This Derrek Lee guy…he’s good. 7-7.
Nei-fever for MVP!!!!!!!!!!
I am mother fucking PIMP.
I am the Lord thy God, bitches!!! I alone am worth the price of admission.
A great call by Capt. Colon Blow.
“There’s a long drive that will sail……
Out of Wrigley Field.”
Hank White = Blanka from Street Fighter
I’m un-fucking-stoppable.
Do not mock me, Andy and Brian! I will deny mortgage applications and have your grandmothers evicted from their nursing homes!
Those fucking stupid Reds! Never doubt me again.
Mark this day down!
June 27, 2005. Yeah!
Through me, all things are possible!
I am the Walrus!
I should be announcing high school football games on some high numbered cable channel at 11:30 on a Friday night.
make that: DLee & Nei-fever CO-MVP’s
I need 4 more RBI’s today to tie what Arod did yesterday!!
My favorite part of this is that the one lefty that Mercker can actually get out is Burnitz, who was on deck when Derrek went yard.
Blah, blah, blah, never walk the tying run intentionally, blah, blah, blah…
Derrek just shoved “the book” up Dave Miley’s hiney.
And one more home run
Whose the asshole that said we’d trade Lee by July?
The same asshole that thinks Maddux will be traded?
Pardon our grammar
What are the odds Dusty pinch hits Dubois for Holly, because you know he would do the opposite w/ a righty on the mound and Dubois in the lineup
Can DLee finish up this game and pitch as well? That is one hot son of a bitch?
Go DLeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
Baker Basher
Damnit Derrek. Now I’m going to have to come up with a creative way to lose this game. We were on our way to losing a perfectly normal game, then you have to go pull this heroic bullshit.
Did Brenly just say that Gary Matthews like to have horsehide bags bouncing off his chest?
And 3 hard boiled eggs…
Dusty is a genuis
I am clearly too good for this team. I want to play for a contender.
“The sevens are wild here at Wrigley Field!”
Where am I?
Hollandsworth looks a lot worse against lefties than Dubois looks against righties.
No reason Dewboy shouldn’t be up right now.
Todd just took it off the shin! See you in March!
Did Todd hurt himself?
Is there any part of my body that I can’t foul a ball off of?
Apparently not
Note to self: When the pitch almost hits me, DO NOT swing at it.
OK, there’s one reason.
Sorry…I know Dew Boy would’ve hit a HR there.
Is that a Nascar driver in the dugout…
No, it’s Kerry Wood
I would never, EEEEEEEEEE-ver hit .058 like your hero Hank,
buddies or dudes or whatever…
Why they no bring in righty to make me bat lefty? I kill them now!
And one Duck egg…
I just finished going boom boom.
Tell Room Service to send up a bigger room!
Gabor! Who are you talking to? Get back in here and finish waxing my ballsac!
how about Ramirez for Macias…nope wouldn’t want to make that logical move either.
I guess I’m in the dugout watching Holla on the basepaths.
Brenly just said there are no more rolls in the bullpen. Jimmy Anderson would be so pissed.
nice to have a 44 million dollar man rotting on the bench at times like these.
Just get to the plate in the ninth, boys. I’ve got your Getaway Day right here.
Man, I wish we had signed Thome.
The Reds won, right?
Lay off, ‘least I din’t ground into a double-play
Yikes, here we come.
My style is impetuous
My defense is impregnable
So if the Cubs win this game, go on a tear, take the division and Derrek takes the MVP, will April 27th forever be the anniversary of “the Lee Game”?
No worries, I’m warming up for the 9th in case we get a one-run lead!
Heeeeey Cub fans, how’s the visibility?
Well, things might be all good at first base now, but I might have made a difference in the ’03 playoffs, don’t you think Brian?
CT? April 27? You mean June 27, right?
Uh, oh, is it April? Time to stop hitting.
Better trim my nails short. It’s getting crowded in here.
LaTroy’s our new closer (again). Great! Well, maybe he’s improved since Saturday.
I certainly made a difference in the ’03 playoffs.
The visibility here in Boston is pretty bad. I’m just sitting here in the pressbox holding hands with Steve Phillips and watching it rain.
Next, he says he wants to play Mexican Housekeeper with me. Anybody know what that is?
Stop stealing my lines, Jose, you little black caveman.
No, Jim! No one could top my excellence!
I like the sound of that, CT.
Hey Jim, since you signed with the Phillies, you haven’t made a difference in ANY playoffs, ya pud.
Matt Belisle? We love him!
Greeeeeeeat, use me in the 9th again!
I thought Dustbag was a player’s manager? He seems to hate me, and want everyone else to as well.
I could have been traded for bullpen hope.
But you knew that, dumbass.
I suck. And my facial hair looks stupid. Bring back Hank!
Who will play the part of Dave Owen?
Wait, you mean, E-ramis is now healthier than he was an inning ago?
Time heals all wounds.
Maybe it’s too early for this overwhelming statement, but we really need to win this game after this comeback.
Now back to your originally scheduled commenting.
Who the fuck let BC on this roster?
“We”?
Well, if I made the roster, then I guess even BC is a possibility.
I knew it, BC is really Jose Macias! That’s why he only commented when the Cubs weren’t in the field!
I am the Dave Owen of 2005.
SHEEEEET! Somebody get on base for me!
Oh, fuck it. Thanks, bitches.
Hey Crozier!
Grab a glove, dude, and relieve Lee at first. We need some fresh legs out there.
I can’t believe Comcast had Ben Gordon do a commercial for them, but haven’t approached me yet. What’s up with that?
I hate the 9th inning. I hate you, Dusty.
Dusty doesn’t work for us. That’s why, little crapmaster.
Where was that on September 29 or 30?
I just said: “Rosie O’Donnell looked like a good athlete”.
Please add me to “I resent the inference…”
Ron’s right though. She looked just like Kurt Becker.
1-2-3 9th inning. I can get used to this.
Don’t like those one run leads. Love the none runs leads though.
Okay, WIN IT NOW.
Should I homer to win it, or just double so I can jog home on Derrek’s?
Dusty just rubbed some holy water on me. I will close games down from now on.
Prepare the FYC’s for launch. I’m just saying. Get ’em ready.
HR for me coming riiight up…
Sure, Hawkins, NOW you come around. He’s not fooled.
Damn, they’re playing me too high!
Or pop-up bunt, whichever.
Which is it?
I’m a great set-up man, just don’t make close the door.
FUCK YOU CHUCK!!
FYC FYC FYC
Nuff said.
12 to go now.
FYC
FYC
FYC I get the WIN
F U C K Y O U — CHUCK!
Out-standing.
This is the worst 15 for 135 slump, I’ve ever seen.
I would just like to add…FYC
Why FYC from LaTroy? I’m not an internet warrior battling HIM, just Corey.
Still miss Alou and Sosa?
My cell phone just rang with the words, “SLOTH” on the display. I answer and I hear, “FYC!!!!”
I like hitting in front of D. Lee. I could get used to these fastballs middle in.
FYC! FYC!
Damn. I’m using this lineup every day, dude!
fyc.
FYC.
There goes another fly ball…
and it’s sailing out of Wrigley Field!
FYC!
FYC!
I forgot to say on the air, oops. Too much excitement!
My catcher’s ERA took an ass pounding, but we’re 4-1 when I start.
Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit amphetamines
Thanks everyone, but the Masur thing was over the top. He’s not sure that ball was out yet.
Oh, and FYC!
When was the last time a Cub got one of me?
I might look like Rosie O’Donnel, but don’t forget I brought you the only Super Bowl ring this city ever got….heck I even was Jimbo Mac’s roomate that year.
14 FYC’s inlcuding one that was telephonic.
HA! HA! HA!
I didn’t know Desipio readers were such big fans of Fine Young Cannibals.
Now its our turn to entertain you
I think Tom Thayer had been moved in front of you on the depth chart, Kurt.
By the way, FYC!
Remember when they played “Good Thing” over the Wrigley Field PA system whenever the Cubs won?
That was awesome.
Actually, it would have been more awesome had the Cubs won 50 times at home those seasons. The royalties coulda been better.
First of all, whoever signed in as me Baker Basher earlier saying, “Dusty is a genius.” wasn’t the real Basher.
We did win a great game surprisingly with Korey hitting a homerun. LaStunk even got his first win. Maybe he needs to pitch the 9th when the game is tied more often. That might be his happy place.
Anyway, props to DLee this season for his awesome start. This guy has taken it to a new level. Hopefully this starts rubbing off on everybody in that dugout.
Do you realize with Novea being called up now, we have only Rusch, Remlinger, and Hawkins left from the end of the season roster last year. Maybe Ohman, Novea, and Bartosch can actually do something well while Dusty has to use them for now.
FDFA= Fuck Dusty Forever Anyway
Baker Basher
fybb.
I am one annoying prick.
glad you cleared that up basher, wouldn’t want anyone smearing your good name.
STFU=Shut the Fuck Up
Hi! I’m doing “From the Cubicle” and it’s even lamer than Calderelli’s!
Nevermind, Chuck. I hate Baker Basher even more than I hate you.
Goddamn a come from behind win feels good!
That wasn’t you, Baker Basher, dude? Damn. I thought you’da come around, brother.
They always told me that I looked a lot like Keith Hernandez, never once did anyone tell me I looked like Rosy……Thanks.
I’m getting pretty good at this looking back at the catcher thing.
RE: Walk-Off Home Runs
In looking through game logs on ESPN.com, the last two times I can find the Cubs winning with a walk-off home run were September 14 (Cubs 3, Pirates 2 in 12 innings) and on August 25 (Cubs 4, Brewers 2).
Both were done by Corey Patterson.

This format sucks.
This one’s a bit better.

Let me try that again, dude.
We’re stll not shown in comments, eh?
What the f**k?
Does this work?
Still no pics? Gosh darnit!
Pics and e-mail to come. Hopefully.
My latest cubs.com article will have you wanting to tear your hair out.
There are plenty of gems perfect for Inference, like:
“We’ve talked about it,” Cubs manager Dusty Baker said Sunday. “Either ‘Demp’ stays in the rotation and Glendon [Rusch] stays in the bullpen, or vice versa. We’re kind of upside down on things right now.”
“He’s a guy who can be very good in a lot of roles,” Cubs general manager Jim Hendry said of Dempster.
“We just have to keep going to the drawing board,” Baker said.
“That’s really unfair,” Baker said of the criticism [that he doesn’t play young guys]. “How could I have that attitude? I’m trying to play the best guys to win, young or old. You have to consider what [Todd Hollandsworth] showed us last year. I know ‘Holly’ can hit, and I know Dubois is going to hit.”
“Our guys are playing hard,” Baker said. “Every team doesn’t play hard every day. If you keep playing hard, you’ll win a lot of ballgames. Our guys don’t quit.”
And the best for last:
“Second baseman Todd Walker will miss the Cubs’ trip to Milwaukee so he can stay in Chicago and continue working out on a water treadmill. Walker is sidelined with a sprained left knee but was jogging and at least standing at second base on Sunday, wearing a brace on his knee.”
Wow, a report that he was STANDING at second base? Just standing there, watching the stupid train or something? Thanks, Carrie. That certainly is a relief. He’ll be back in no time, obviously. Guh.
I was driving back from Green Bay Wednesday and had the game on the radio.
On Thursday and Friday, this site was down for remodeling.
So I’ve had this one percolating for five days.
Fuck you Chuck.
Ahhhhhhhhhhhh.
Got here and seen your stuff – way to go!
I dont even remember how i reached your site but it doesnt matter, cause i’m so happy i found it, it really made me think, keep up the good work
You have a great website. Keep up the good work.
Thanks for a lovely site, I am very impressed :-)
This is a great web site. I have some great web pages myself if you are interested to share. But I should not go on about my site too much, that is not fair, right?
