Am I starting today?
No but I am in center
So am I..
Woo Hoo I get to play as well!
It’s like a dream come true! I’m leading off!
I’m so sick of this crap I could scream…
What the hell am I doing where I am?
I go 3-4 with a walk and I don’t get to start? I tried to go 4-4 but it was just too hard… maybe if I was a veteran like Hollandsworthless I could have.
What crap? You had to expect the bench guys would be getting the call today with the starters of yesterdays game finishing up about 12 hours ago. Makes sense to me.
Boy, I sure do enjoy my time on the bench here, especially with the Zuni Fetish Doll starting in CF today.
Did I get killed last night? Did I get lost in the ivy? Where am I and why is Jose Playing?
Juan Pierre…Juan Pierre….Juan Pierre…
…what? You think my chant is getting Old? The fuckin’ Gremlin is out there today!! So shut yer suckholes!!
Juan Pierre….Juan Pierre….
I hope it doesn’t rain again today. You know what happens when gremlins get wet.
Jerry, you sprained your ankle, dude.
Day to day, dude.
Bob Brenly say he sorry for me because we no take batting practice today.
I say be sorry for the Giants, I will take my BP during the game.
How high does that Hank White o Meter go? You find out today!
Grave!
remember when the Bako-meter wouldn’t go above “Sucks?” That’s a backup catcher y’all should aspire to have.
Sloth, your chant isn’t getting old, it just doesn’t make any sense. Try chanting the name of a player whose team is looking to trade him.
Len just said this game is being presented in Hi-Definition, so you can see how bad the Cub’s lineup is much more clearly.
Hey Gabor (#17),
I had more hits on Sunday than you had in May last year. Suck it.
We’re the best!!
How you like my new Magic Johnson bounce pass down to second?
The Tag in de Face!
Tell Flahriduh that they can have Connolly and Pie for AJ and Pierre.
alright, the giants don’t have moises, they don’t have barry, but they have hope….
the cubs need to win this to gain ground at the wild card…..
should be quite interesting to see who wins this series
Carlos, I tried to hit you with the throw to second for walking that guy. Next time, I slap you.
If you had 1:25 in the “what time will Carlos swear at himself, first” pool, you just won.
Ronny’s out to talk to Carlos. Apparently there’s a rule that no matter who the shortstop is he has to make a dozen trips to the mound every inning.
Why do I have the SF commentary?
Did I get caught stealing??
If you had me for every leadoff walk Z or Carrie issued, you’d be rich.
we got something going! keep it coming guys!
You shut up, Dime. I know where you live. I trace your IP address last night! I also have your credit card informacion and just bought myself a new luggage rack for my Hummer.
Tell Chuck to take his moronic imaginary trades back to his blog.
Who neeeeds Kerry Wood. I keen peetch long eenings too.
I’M THAT GUY WHO KEEPS POSTING THAT DESIPIO SUCKS AND HAS NOTHING ORIGINAL TO SAY, THOUGH I, TOO, HAVE NOTHING ORIGINAL TO SAY. IMMA KEEP SAYING IT ALL THE SAME.
I’m going back in time..
You know, I kind of laughed last night when Len said if they gave gold gloves out to lf, cf and rf instead of just three for the of in general that Jeromy would win one. But I’ll be goddamned, I thought about it and I think he would.
What? You too stupid to trade Pie and Connolly for AJ and Pierre?
You gotta like that.
Swearing in the first inning, Carlos? Can’t you wait until you give up a go-ahead RBI single in the 7th inning to scream “Fuck” in to your glove like me?
nice grab from burnitz…
Sorry Chuck, our DL is full.
If we are going to name every trade that comes from the top of our heads, I should come out first
Can you imagine me making that play, buddies?
i loved how Jeromy bounced off the wall. The Gladitor couldn’t have done it..
Boy, I made that catch look easy, eh?
Erm… Jose? I WAS easy.
Dudes, how you like my lineup for today? dudes
with macias leading off playing center, we want some speed to confuse the old man dudes.
and dolan, the experiment you propposed in yesterday’s morning dose dude, didn’t work out dude, that’s why we lost yesterday, dude.
So I won’t be taking your advice again dude.
It’s burnitz again between lee and aramis, no aramis after lee dude. See, I need to confuse the old man with righties-lefties-righties-lefties. dude.
Enjoy the game dudes, must win today dudes
… the “G” in G-String stand for?
So, anyone have any idea what Jerry did last night to piss off Dusty?
I made a panic trade for Gerut so we could have an emergency CF and Dusty starts Macias.
I’m a salad tossing lefty and you guys can’t hit guys like me. Tomko on the other hand…you should smoke him.
Chuck= The Jewish Sanjay
“What does the ‘G’ in G-String stand for?”
Gov’ner!
Screw you, Chuck, go back to pronouncing proudly from on high that you called the team dead in May.
first time in history there was a game still going on at wrigley while the city of chicago was closed…..
I am the “G.”
Tomko? We were expecting Kirk Rueter!
Right on dude.
Go ahead and screw me, Jim. Your team has been dead for 2 years because you still haven’t filled your pen or leadoff.
I told you you guys would all be sorry to trade me, I got 12 home runs this year!
Jim Hendry,
You traded for an outfielder with a knee brace the size of Jose Macias, that’s why he’s not playing center. That’s two years in a row your big pick up has come with a medical chart the size of the Baseball Encyclopedia.
I’m going to dive at everything. I’m like Jim Edmonds in a room full of collies.
Sure, this time you catch it. Dickhead.
I wasn’t going to miss the second one!
We have a big picture of Chuck in the clubhouse and after every win we pin a piece of clothing back on it. Then we take turns pee-ing on it.
Am I worse than the Gremlin?
Anybody catch Michael Tucker’s Sosa impersonation last night on Barrett’s double? You know, the one where instead of getting an angle on the ball, HE RAN IN A STRAIGHT LINE ACROSS, and not only missed it, but because of his crappy angle, allowed the ball to shoot behind him? If the hitter was Lee or Burnitz, it would have been a triple.
Yeah. I miss seeing that out-of-control, wild banshee mad dash routine out of our rightfielder.
Over on one of the STLToday.com boards they have a post asking why Cubs fans hate Jim Edmonds so much. One of the Cubs fans made a remark about how he shouldn’t have been photographed wearing lipstick and eyemakeup and it started a furor of Cardinals fans trying to find the picture. I’m not so sure they were trying to debunk the myth as much as they just wanted to whack off to it.
ramirez grounds out to third…
great play by alfonso
“We have a big picture of Chuck in the clubhouse and after every win we pin a piece of clothing back on it. Then we take turns pee-ing on it.”
So by the end of the season Chuck will be lucky to have half of his clothes on?
And great hustle by me, damn am I slow.
How are we supposed to win “commentator” keeps on complimenting the other team?
Jeromy Burnitz he nice player, but he no me. I so smooth in right that I make all the plays he do, I just make them so gracefully you no notice how difficul’ they be.
The Cub, they trade for me in 1992 and in 13 year they no develop one right fielder out of the system, so you gonna be stuck with another guy in his mid 30s out there for one, two, heck, prolly six year.
Don’t hate. Gladiate.
due up…
fonzi
cruz
torrealba
And Brenly said Tomko has good stuff! What kind of crap is that?
Alfonso didn’t need to make that throw. Walker wasn’t running to third, he thought it was foul.
You have to admire the effort the skipper gets out of these boys. The Giants actually had a choice of which loafing baserunner to embarrass on that one.
fonzi pops out
1 down….
Walk, just ban commentator from the team plane.
What happened to us? We were all saying how bad Burnitz is gonna suck..Now we a Splooge Fest thread for him?
cruz looks at a pitch right down the middle for strike three
The Cubs have it rough today. They got home about 3 a.m. last night and with an early start today they didn’t have time to put together their kids’ Christmas presents.
Why did we spend hours working on Gameday, when message boards like Desipio has a regular Vin Scully amongst them?
Having a career year here, Bufe, in case you didn’t notice
The sad part, Buford, is that Jeromy’s not really that much better than we thought he’d be. We’ve just lowered our standards.
torrealba works out a walk, bringing the pitcher to the plate
Works at P.S. Chicago and he said Ramirez and Ortiz came in there when the Sox were in town. He said Ramirez is really slow moving and aloof, he also carries a man purse. He said it was not a fanny pack, but like the thing that Jerry had stolen, when he switched from a wallet. Just found that funny.
It’s not that he’s having a career year. He just doesn’t bitch..He goes and plays hard every day..
tomko flies out
cubs coming up
Hi Guys!
I can handle the commentary during the innings Pat is digesting his lunch!
Here’s uh…um…Phil Neikro? Is he playing first? Isn’t he old?
The pitch. Fly ball to…uh…that’s the third out.
oh, this is fun
Dammit, we could have forced Tomko to lead off the 3rd.
Why not shoot for the moon?
due up….
hollandsworth
cedeno
blanco
Aramis may move slow, but his bat don’t. And the next time we hit PS Chicago, we’re also going to smack down every employee with our man bags.
Is Andy Masur related to that photographer named Mazur?
Matt Murton just kept his streak of “dugout shots of Matt Murton where he has his arm draped lovingly around a teammate” alive at 47. Greggy is the lucky recipient of today’s Murtlove.
What am I for those non residents.
hollandsworth strikes out on a high fastball
Supposedly, Aramis carries one because I do…Big Papi wasn’t carrying one though…still funny to picture.
So is there such thing as a Hank White Equivalent Win Share? He did save a run in the 1st. That’s like 10, right?
Cubs offense…..Murton who?
Check out my facial hair.
Did I grow that in one night?
I didn’t think I could.
A trendy bar.
I only carry that man purse to hold Edmond’s lipstick and mascara for him.
cedeno grounds out to vizquel, 2 down….
I’m not wasting any hits today until somebody gets their ass on base.
… are slagging off Dusty for saying that Nomar may not start, and that Ron Ce has to wait his turn.
snow catches blanco’s pop up right at the giants dugout, cubs go down quietly in the second. Giants coming up….
I, Value Over Michael Barret, is the best way to measure how good Hank is?
You guy’s love me today, don’t you?
After seeing two innings of Carlos today compared to the nine innings of Carlos on Friday, one thing is apparent:
Neifi Perez is the real pitching coach for this team.
That is all…
due up for the giants…
J. Ellison CF 0-0
O. Vizquel SS 1-1
J.T. Snow 1 B 1-1
Anyone see the pre-game where they showed Dusty complaining about Hawkins getting booed last night?
around the league: A- Rod turns 30 today…. has more home runs then anyone ever had at 30 years of age…..
ellison pops out, vizquel lines out, two outs in three pitches….
Pat Hughes just called me “a good little ballplayer”. Today is a gremlin’s wet dream.
Did I just call Jose Macias “a good little player?”
Did Ronnie just agree with me?
#114, the fans only booed him because he’s black.
I love playing with my good little ballplayer
snow grounds out to short….
a 5 pitch inning for zambrano
What did I say about the boos? I forgot, but I’m sure it was stupid.
Well, they only booed him because he’s black and the temperature is below 90 degrees.
I grounded out to 2B, actually.
You guy’s think I’m done? How about I put Gremlin Macias at the top of the order? Shut up Jerry jr and quite crying?
due up for the cubs
C. Zambrano P 0-0
J. Macias CF 0-1
T. Walker 2B 1-
Anyone see the pre-game where they showed Dusty complaining about Hawkins getting booed last night?
What did I say #127?
I really really wanna know if anybody saw that.
zambrano a rare switch hitter batting from the left side….
yea zambrano you’re out, when you bunt the ball foul you’re out….
on an 0-2 count…
Macias singles to left
I’m 2 for my last three.
Time to regress to the mean.
Dusty said that he thought the treatment was “bad”.
Well, considering LaBlow disrespected the fans and didn’t perform the way he should of, I thought the conduct was more than acceptable. LaBlow and Dusty should be happy there were only two or three thousand fans there at the time instead of a full house.
Zambrano stuck out trying to bunt for a hit?
Forgive the double posting, clerical error.
Dusty said it is a very trying and difficult situation when players are treated that way, and very difficult for them to perform under those situations.
Dusty was talking like a worn-out librarian again.
I don’t think it’s part of the Cubs manager job description to defend and make excuses for other team’s players.
He tried bunting for a home run…
I smart
I can cut it out any time now, right?
BTW, Arbitron computes the radio ratings.
Nielsen does the TV ratings.
So, technically, you should be named the Nielsen Surveyor.
I will now prepare for fire and brimstone to come at me from the rest of Desipio.
smart move by tomko walking walker on 4 pitches in front of Lee
Who knew the Gremlin was the sparkplug we needed?
Hey Brett, why are you smart?
You were never neccesary commentator
Lee singles on macias scores…
See Dusty…
Derrek can get RBI’s when there are dudes on base too…
Is anybody surprised that Dusty was irritated by the Cubs’ fans booking of LaTroy?
I would think a more rational manager would have said, “Well, they booed him when he played for us, they damn well better do it when rattling him can get us a run or two.”
righetti is going out on the mound to talk to tomko
I knew, bitches.
I’m a journalism major, but still write “should of”. I should have my keyboard confiscated. Success in my chosen career is a long, long way away.
I’m gonna celebrate 50 years with 50 donuts.
I felt bad looking at Bruce Sutter last night.
He finally looks his wife that they kept showing during the ’79 All-Star Game.
He deserves to be in the Hall, too. As far as I’m concerned, getting a Save, a Save, a Win and a Win in 4 straight All-Star games is all I need. Those AL hitters had NO IDEA what they were doing against him, and they were the best hitters in the world.
Did I mention thatS utter shut them down FOUR YEARS INA ROW? Get his ass in the Hall, STAT!
I just posted this trade “rumor” on the NSBB board.
Tampa trades: Aubrey Huff
Chicago trades: Brandon McCarthy and Damaso Marte
This would be news if it wasn’t rumored three days ago.
burnitz looks at a change up for strike 3
commentator is the best thing to happen to Desipio Game Casts since I decided to shut up and eat my salad.
Actually, Andy, Carrie Muskat says that *I* am the Cubs spark plug.
http://chicago.cubs.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/news/article.jsp?ymd=20050726&content_id=1145710&vkey=news_chc&fext=.jsp&c_id=chc
Macias is a like a firecracker. Loud, quick, and a one-time pop.
Mike D! Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! That’s not Bruce’s wife it’s his mom! I made a similar mistake after a World Series once and Tony Womack’s wife is still trying to have me killed.
We thought Macias was a fireplug. That’s why we always peed on him.
You better not trade my goofy ass, I am McPrior!…Gad am I a tool…McPrior, more like McHarkey.
bruce sutter belongs in the hall of good not the hall of very good but not the hall of decent
E-ramis hustled there. It was misguided but he was safe anyway.
I just hustled!!!
ramirez singles to left canter field , a run is in, lee is safe at thrid, and ramirez safe at second….
Holy crap…
Was that good Cubs’ baserunning that I just saw?!?!?!?!?
I prefer McPico.
We’re bunt crazy all of a sudden. Do we not remember Brett Tomko is pitching?
I knew I should of bought a Buick
Lowry yesterday, Tomko today, are the Giants starting Kirk McGaskill tomorrow?
I think the Sox should hang onto McCarthy. Johnny Ruffin feels the same way.
commentator is nearly a minute faster than Yahoo! Gamecast. I’m sporting wood for this Web site again. Does that make me gay?
See that? That’s what my pinch hit at bat would have been like last night.
I suck.
Corey – gone.
Wood – gone.
Time to start booing Holly.
hollandsworth strikes out on a fastball,
cubs get two runs with three hits a walk and an error
feliz coming up for the giants
Look bitches I don’t care what was rumored 3 days ago. It ain’t the real shit until my sources confirm the fact that it’s possible. When I tell you it’s being discussed, then and only then does the rumor have legs. I didn’t learn bee for nothing.
Thank you, come again.
I knew I should of bought a Trojan.
Why would I be next in the Lowry-Tomko line?
Yahoo says that Hollandsworth made the third out, but it appears that Cedeno is going to be allowed to bat anyway.
You think I could have struck of just as good as Hollandsworth??
Because you suck, Kirk.
Holy shit, Dad, that was harsh.
If Andy had an edit button for comments, I would have fixed that earlier comment as soon as I could have. Once I read my comment when it posted on here I knew I made that mistake, but I can’t fix it now…
How about a little two-out magic from Deivi Cruz! Impressive!
#176: I almost got in trouble just now for laughing at you.
Actually BC, I think you can fix it. You have to log in. But it’s too late for that now.
BC is blaming Andy for his screwups? I say we kill him.
Two K’s for me already today… twice as many as Matt had all day yesterday
I think the Hank White Fan Club needs another plug.
In the past three days we’ve seen Walker shot put a throw to first, throw one with his glove and just now underhand one from about 40 feet. It’s…impressive?
I didn’t strike out yesterday.
Why do I never play again?
You, out on Waveland! Get ready!
BC, edit #187 for me.
I did walk with a runner at third and less than two outs. Gerut then came up and fucked the dog, also whoever was after him. God forbid I be aggressive when I have a chance to drive in the go-ahead or winning run.
Time to change the meter, I guess. :(
I think Dusty posted 194. Only he would have wanted Murton to have swung at any of the crap LaTroy threw him in the eighth.
Murton and Ce, every day!!!
Let’s play two!!!
I see, so now we’re going to complain about the lack of plate patience by most of the team, but for Murton, we’re going to complain that he has too much patience?
I think you guys should call me Opie
Those t-ball kids they just showed sucked. They were awful. Just a very bad bunch of players.
Boo!
1. I’m not blaming Andy. I did catch my mistake, but it was after hitting the submit comment button.
2. Andy, I can’t edit my comments when it is under your name. I can login and view all the comments, but I can’t edit my comments (Or anyone else’s comments) when the post is under your name.
No, we complain when I’m not even trying to drive in runs, when I know the people behind me suck.
Murton should be more selective about who he puts his arm around
I have the night off.
Right…
But when I log in, I can post as the more authoritative “Brian Crozier”.
Yes?!?!?!?
See, I knew Matt was going to try to drive in runs, so I threw him crap that he would go fishing for.
Fuckwad didn’t go after my shit. He’s a dumbass.
Crozier, if you ever figure out your mistake, edit out the schoolgirl punctuation from your other posts, OK??!?!?!!?!
That last post wasn’t me. I can’t spell authoritative.
Honesty compels me to say that Albert Pujols would have had that.
Danger, Mister Zambrano… Danger…
OK BC, you’re right. And it’s actually kind of a relief that you and Jake can’t change my stuff.
We just called DLee a Gold Glover before having a go at Big Z for his antics. They wear his team-mates out, apparently.
If Maddux was pitching, I could break out my patented “we’ve seen a lot when a play isn’t made behind Maddux that could have ended the inning that he gives up lots of runs” crap.
You may now commence swearing in to your glove, Carlos.
Ok, honesty compells me to tell the truth that I hate Matt Murton because he has red hair and looks like that gay christian guy off the HBO series “OZ”. :/ sorry
I wouldn’t mess with your writing Andy. I don’t know about that Jake character however.
And Kelly? Forget about it.
Tucker always looks like he’s gonna cry.
Pat Hughes just called us good. We knew there were perks to ranking 11th out of the 16 NL teams in runs scored.
I’m the black Dave B!
Squirt a few for me, Tucker!
2 outs, man on 3rd, so I’m going to start talking about tuna.
I wish I could eat tuna everyday like Pat Hughes, especially after midnight.
Is Ron talking about tuna right now or is it chicken?
tuna can be used as either the main ingrident of a salad or a nice topping
Len Kasper:
“And the bases are full of Giants…”
I don’t miss Chip and the beanstalk joke he would have made either before or after that statement…
I hate me and like to talk about me in the third person.
Am I pointing up and yelling?
Matt Murton: Shut up and watch how a real man whiffs!
Are best eaten after midnight… I prefer to be made with salmon though. Tuna smells too much.
Am I available to pitch today? I don’t think the grounds crew could deal with a steaming pile on the mound 3 days in a row.
I’m still an assclown.
http://www.letsgetwacky.com/wobblers/Charlie/CharlieToonPic.gif
I’ll be the next K-orey. I am loving the high fastball today.
After fucking half the cast of Jackass, I probably smell too much, too.
The worst thing about potentially chasing the Braves for the Wild Card (though I think the Nats are taking care of that for us by shoving the Braves into first in the East) is that you have a 66 percent chance of having to hear Chip doing the Braves game.
The other night Don Sutton was trying to explain something about the pitching motion and used a see saw as an example of whatever balance thing he was prattling on about. Chip chimed in for no reason, “When I was a kid, I needed a see saw with a very big seat.” Sutton didn’t even acknowledge Chip’s existence and kept on talking.
Somebody wrote in the Atlanta Journal Constitution last month: “After listening to Skip Caray for 30 years and Chip for three months, I’m convinced Chip was adopted.”
Now I’m someone who should who gotten a Trojan
I just changed.
http://www.chipcaray.com/
The umpires are tired, too, dudes.
Hey Matt, Why is my wife calling you on your cell phone? No way is your bat better than mine!!!
I can’t wait until Dusty gets fired and you all get chances to make fun of me. You think Dusty is a comedy gold mine? You ain’t seen nothing yet.
The Cubs are winning 2-1 after 5.
So why does it feel like they’re losing?
I just popped out Bitches!
Is it to late for me to get the cubs into the playoffs
Chip broadcast seven successful seasons with the Cubs on WGN before accepting an offer by the Atlanta Braves to join his father in 2005 as part of one of, if not the greatest teams in baseball history, compiling 13 consecutive division titles.
So 1999, 2000, 2001 and 2002 were “successful?” Wow.
And the Braves are THE greatest team in baseball history? What does that make the Yankees?
How are we posted to this board?
I am ugly.
I can’t decide who wins the “Edits His Posts Religiously” Award. Both BC and Mike D. have lots of “Last edit:…” taglines on their Message Board postings. This leads me to believe one of two things:
1) They both really like their posts and re-read them after they post them, then notice the error and correct it.
B) They are the same person.
Is Bob blaming the t-ball game and the lack of batting practice on the Cubs only scoring two runs off Brett Tomko so far?
Here I go again with this “woe is me” crap, this “We hit the ball right on the nose, they hit bloopers”
Seriously, outside of senile 89 year old woman who get WGN in Iowa and retarded 14 year old kids, would I really be missed if I was no longer defecating on the airwaves?
//To post a picture use
//
BP never occurs before I start
Ahh screw it, img src=”address” in between
I’m just a dope who types like a monkey on meth. Hence, the myriad typos.
And, umm….was I just compared to BC? That’s cold, bro.
//http://www.chipcaray.com/images/header.jpg//
Then shouldn’t Bob bitch about this about once a homestand then?
When I throw to second on a bunt, I get outs.
Not a big fan of the radio being .4232 seconds ahead of the TV.
“This site is in no way affiliated with Chip Caray or the Atlanta Braves but is merely a fan site dedicated to the Braves and announcer Chip Caray. “
img src=http://www.chipcaray.com/images/header.jpg
I think I found the reason that Ronny goes out to visit Carlos on the mound whenever he can:
So we can have some trippy-looking dance party?
BP after a game that ends at 1:30 is like cramming all night for a test versus getting a full nights worth of sleep
Check out the first result for “Chip Caray” on me. Oh, turn SafeSearch off first.
Congratulations, Andy.
Apparently Wood pitched 2 scoreless pain free innings in the t-ball game. Rehab looks good so far.
We’re probably the most entertaining and downright funny duo doing baseball games right now. We rip on both teams when they deserve it and other than Krukow yelling “meat!” way too much we make it fun to watch late night Giants games if you have the MLB Extra Innings package.
Between us and Vin Scully doing every home Dodgers game, you can spend a lot of late nights enjoying non-Cubs baseball.
Hello, gang! I’ve brought my imaginary wife with me here today!
I thought the terror alert was going to be on there. On page 2 you get Karry Ling’s Olympic Moments, though.
A runner on the 3rd with nobody out? Think we can score here?
Watch me screw this up.
Advertencia! Advertencia! Peligro, Carlos Zambrano!
Neifi looks like he is in the middle of doing The Robot.
And Cedeño is doing a do-si-do with Carlos.
Here’s Holly’s chance to show us what he’d have done last night in a similar situation in the eighth, instead of Gerut.
I’ve already screwed it up, Holly.
Wanna go to IHOP after the game?
I’m your imaginary step-Grandma you dolt.
How are we not going to score this time?
A wild pitch may be our only hope.
Duh, I will strikeout.
Dusty’s been burned by me twice and he STILL doesn’t know what I am.
Burnitz= decent baserunner
Holly= decent with a bat
2-1= good coutn t odo it on.
Does Dusty help “manage” to bring a run home. Of course not!
I’m going to swing at this fastball over my head every fucking time.
Todd, looks like you have read my Guide to Hitting book.
Any chance of reposting me or providing a link?
I’m sure not scoring this run won’t matter in the grand scheme of things.
I’m coming for you, Hollie. You can’t stop me.
Good thing I’m not playing today!
Just wait til August when BOTH me and Nomar are regularly riding the pine in favor of Holly and Neifi.
No one cares about me, or hockey.
They walk Ron Ce in front of me…. I will keel the ball
Jew guyz go right ‘head and walk ronnie. I keel the ball when i swing. Jew just watch.
Yeah, I might be the reason we lose today!!! I guess it was my turn.
you walk little ronnie…I make you pay
At your own peril, bitches.
Seriously, I should be hanged for this inane “bring the 7th inning stretch singer into the booth for an interview” thing. Because it’s always late in the game, it interferes with the broadcast.
They walked Ron to get to that hitting machine Hank?
Morans!
They are walking Cedeño to get to me. Peligro!
Forget it, I’m running on any squeeze plays with this team. Last time we tried I nearly got killed.
Has Dusty ever used me?
Has Dusty ever used me?
I come up to dee plate and dee board goes quiet. Must be everyone glued to their tvs and radios.
Good point.
Don’t worry, Hank, Chuck is watching.
The Cubs tried it with little Jerry Hairston up and Jeromy on 3rd against the Nats back in May. Hairston missed the sign and swung away and missed. Burnitz scored when Washington botched the rundown.
blanco strikes out
Tomko gets out of the jam and it’s still 2-1 Cubs
I meant 289…
Never mind.
Can we blame that on Dusty for starting Hollandsworth?
I was pissed about that shit in Washington! I gave little Jerry a swirly after the game.
… those of us watching on MLB.TV didn’t fucking know that yet.
Dudes, the squeeze ain’t safe…why you think they call it a squeeze, man? You can make an out, they call it the squeeze, because it like squeezing the trigger of a gun, ain’t nuthin safe bout guns, bro. You can make an out, and you can’t go back, just like when you pull a trigger dude. Dangerous play.
I just got lowered to 54.3
So don’t refresh so quickly. Duh.
I don’t think you can complain about the message board ruining your viewing your experience…if you’re going to do both, you have to know it could happen
Anyway, it’s always nice when you get a man on third with no outs and can’t bring him home.
If only Neifi! were playing today!!!
Now at 102. Zams won’t last the inning.
Unless he does.
I can throw 140 today.
“Oklahoma City is not in Florida.” – Pat Hughes
Where else bu WGN can you learn this stuff?
Incidentally, were they just being overly cautious on E-Ramis’ fly ball, or was it too shallow for Burnitz to score?
Aside from the fact that the ball ultimately sailed over the catcher’s head, it probably wasn’t deep enough. They might have sent Burnitz with one out.
With no outs a good team doesn’t send Burnitz. The Cubs though, should know that it’s likely to be their best chance and have him try to obliterate Torrealba at home plate.
It was shallow but he had to run about 60 feet to his left to catch and then threw it over the catchers head.
Oh Great.
The “Growler Inning”
Weird, Yahoo said he flied out to right center.
Looks like Im going at least 8
Never mind 323, I just realized you meant the throw went over the catcher’s head.
The Mazur Inning should be sponsored by me.
why is Big Z batting at all here? This is ridiculous…get the crash cart ready…
Fonzi and Viaquel both make great plays on line drives…
Giants xoming up against zambrano in the eigth..
coming*
Dude, gotta leave ’em in. Don’t have no fresh arms in the pen. Game just ended 12 hours ago.
Is Bonds, Kent, and Alou up this inning?
Who here fears something wicked this way comes?
This 8th has disaster written all over it.
1 out
Don’t worry, I’m hanging in there!
By a thread!
But if I tear, Dusty will just put Carlos in the bullpen.
I swear to God, if Dusty makes a comment about how they’re not hitting, I will scream.
They’re not hitting because you’re not putting the right guys out there, dumbfuck!
What do you expect when you bench a hot-hitting rookie in favor of a 4th OF who’s currently ina downward death spiral and can’t hit the side of a barn right now?
What do you expect when you give your backup catcher 40% of the starts?
What do you expect when you start a gremlin in center and lead him off, despite a sub-.300 OBP?
I’m so sick of all of this.
5 outs left, ring a bell anyone?
Anybody?
One of me will be the death knell.
If we were truly earning our keep, one of our coward asses would ask Dusty why he never calls for a squeeze. I mean, aren’t YOU curious?
You guys already got the crash cart ready? Good, cause I’m warming up in the pen.
If we are to believe what we’re told (and that’s always suspect):
Hank catches twice a week instead of one because Barrett’s got a sore hip and shoulder.
Macias is playing center today because Hairston sprained his ankle last night and Gerut has one leg.
However, the order in which they bat is completely nonsensical and that never wavers, no matter what eight guys are in the field ona given day.
The sky is falling!
I have become quite the Cub killer.
cruz scores on torrealba’s triples
it’s all tied up
We do TV ratings too, BC.
If you limited your comments to things you actually have a clue about, we’d never hear from you.
The Cubs lead the world in throws to the plate that have hit the runner.
Santo just don’t have a great feeling.
We’re doomed. Unless he was talking about one of his legs…
I’m one hell of a manager!!!!
What the hell is a hit and run?
Dusty keeps getting burned by more than a crack addict, but he never considers using me himself.
durham delievers,
giants take the lead….
Dusty left Carlos in with nothing left and the Cubs are going to lose.
This never gets old.
Dear Jim:
Your team’s been dead since May.
dusty, you’re two batters too late….
How come fans aren’t doing me when fuckmonkeytretard Baker heads out of the dugout?
I blame me for the Cubs giving up the lead
It took a savy veteran like Todd Hollandsworth to make that throw…
This Giants team is a veteran team dudes. Lots of talent, they are real good, and they look to finish strong.
I’m your only hope now, bitches!
…
Well, I guess I’ll take him out now.
Dear Chuck,
Go refinance a shack, you worthless pile of shit.
What are the odds that I’m fired after the game?
I told you so..
Hey, if Baker gets fired after today’s game, I win the pool!
I was pissed about last night. But today there is no point getting pissed. As long as Dusty is our manager we won’t make the playoffs so is it really worth getting pissed about. The fans can’t fire Dusty. Nothing will happen for us w/ him as the manager.
remlinger gives up a hit to the alleyway, grissom to third
1 in 10,000,000
Sorry Mr. Hendry, but you truly are in over your head. You have a ton of decisions to make which you are simply incapable of making.
I just poured gasoline over myself. Anyone have a match?
Whatever smartass made the “5 outs to go. Rememebr me?” comment was spot-on.
Don’t be surprised to see the score 7-2 at the end of this half-inning.
Can someone post a pucture of me?
giants miss the suicide squeeze, one free out for the cubs
I should never be seen…….
Touchy, touchy, Jim. I’m sorry I sent you a mirror as a present.
See? See? You fucks think you know everything.
Bad things happen when you try to manage. That’s why I’m hands off.
Hmmm…did I goof, or did Vizquel miss a sign?
Welcome to purgatory, Omar.
Omar missed the sign.
I guess I hope they try and steal a base and Hank can throw them out, cause I’m sure as hell not getting anyone out.
I am so awesome!!!!!!
Can I play yet?
cubs fans let hawkins hear it, let’s see what he does against their best hitters in the 8th
3 runs, 2 runs…. should we really win this game?
Look at me, I got a lefty out.
WTF, Pat? Where’s our plug when you pointed out that the Giants squandered a chance to score some insurance runs?
Look at me, I got a lefty out. Here’s the gas can LaTroy…
I am the date of the dumass du jour award?
3 up, 3 down in the bottom of the 8th.
God I hate Felipe Alou.
I have a bad feeling about this
Dudes, I think I just shat myself!
We are just better than you. Face it.
Plop… Plop… Uunnghhh…
I would like to know what our record is when the wind is blowing in.
why is alou bringing in hawkins when he threw 24 pitches last night?
I’m in Latroy’s undercrackers.
the boos rain down on Hawkins and I don’t feel that much pity
Awww, clap. I hate when RaTloy pitches. He make beeg mess for me to crean.
Is this Filipe’s way of letting LaTroy exercize his demons? Hawkins has pitched in all three games this series. I’ll bet he’s going back to the hotel every night and sharpening that razor….
Here I go again! Stop the Insanity!
How loud was the booing when LaTroy came in the game? I’m glad that the fans could give him a warm welcome back.
I did all I could for you guys, your welcome.
Hey Matt, do you want to play tomorrow?????…..SIIIIIIIKE!!
We hate when LaTroy pitches because he hangs his crapped up pants in the shower stall and it makes a big mess.
Time
KarrosBurnitz to GIDP.it’s up to Eyre here….
Hey, Felipe. Lay off the insanity. That’s my gig.
What do you think the odds are on Murton pitch hitting for Hollandsworth?
If there is a LHP: 90%
If there is a RHP: 0%
I like to play.
Anybody?
Holy Shit. He’s going to do it again. Burnitz just showed bunt.
Please, for all that is holy, do not tell me that Burnitz is bunting again?!?!
Granted, they may be less inclined to put Ramirez on again as the go-ahead, but considering the bags of scat behind ARam, I would at least pitch around him.
Plop, plop – squish, squish
oh what a relief it is….
.
.
.
…to get taken out.
I’m quite a bunter. Cleanup hitters do that all the time, right?
OK, maybe not.
I am useless w/ this wind.
If we didn’t have a retarded man calling the shots, we’d be treated to this at some point during this at-bat.
vizquel boots the inning ending double play…
Don’t tell me Felipe is going to leave Eyre in the game to face E-Ramis?
I have uncontrolable diahrea of the brain!
See? Hit it to the gold glover 10000 times and he’ll screw up sooner or later. Count on it.
Clang!
How many teams have their cleanup hitters try and bunt? I’ll give you the answer: One. And it’s the group of assholes playing on the north side of Chicago.
HAHAHAH, look at that buffoon at shortstop.
Shit, dudes… look at that Giants roster. THAT is a championship team.
I miss SF.
Holy Shit, Murton is hitting.
I need to stop drinking my lunch.
vizquel missed the suicide squeeze, and the double play ball….
damn
Cubs get us all the time, yet they still suck!
I ruled E-Ram’s grounder through Omar’s legs a hit.
odds are I try to walk.
Squeeze time
Hero time!
Who told Murton to go up there and bat? Huh? It’s Holly’s turn in the order!
Anybody?
Don’t worry boss! I will make you proud of my veteran ass!
why the hell is that ruled a hit?
Prick! SWING YOU RED FUCK!!! THE GUYS HITTING AFTER YOU SUCK!
WOW! I’m in!
I’m swinging there.
3-0. Give me the green light, baby!
Ruling that a hit means I could be responsible for the 8th inning tying run in all 3 games.
lol
Dudes I wanted to bunt with burnitz but I got a lot of criticism dudes for doing it last time. So there you go, dudes. If burnitz would have bunted we would have a tied ball game dudes. There you go dudes.
That’s not true #431.
We’ve been robbed. Every out’s been hard hit, every Giant hit’s ablooper.
It’s not fair. Why oh why oh why oh why do bad things ONLY happen to us? Is it just so I can make it sound like some self-fulfilling prophecy?
YES! I DIDNT WALK I LOVE ME AGAIN
I should be on third.
tucker loses the ball in the sun, wtf is going on?
Now he’s crying for sure.
Matt Murton and his enormous number of cheap hits, just proves if you will actually put the bat on the ball good things will happen.
Man, we suck more than the current Cubs do!
Did Aramis think that Tucker was joking that he couldn’t see it?
RED FUCK!!
Thanks Chuck.
I think Tucker lost that in the sun, did you see the way his eyes bugged out?
Oh, wait, they always do that.
Just HOW fucking lucky are we? This is outrageous.
Another earned run at Wrigley. I hate this god forsaken place.
Hop on my back, Cubbies!
Charge that run to LaTroy.
Did Michael Tucker, the fucker who hit the grand slam off us in the 1998 Divisional Series, remind you of me right there?
That made me happy.
The 2001 Cubs were the first one in my lifetime that actually faded. And Tucker, DeShields, and David Weathers–the three guys that were supposed to help–didn’t. They are forever on my shit list and I never feel an iota of pity when they fuck up.
The truth is, I’m some kind of warlock.
Why would you want Murton to swing at the first 3 pitches? None were close, would you rather have him swing at a pitch out of the zone and pop like Gerut did last night?
E-ramis could score from second on a double and is a fair bet to score on a triple.
Had to get Neifi into the game somehow dudes.
Wait, is Neifi pinch running?
I think I should have played Matt earlier.
See, Dusty really did have a long term strategy in mind when he tried to ruin Hawkins.
Seeeeeeeee! That’s why we need me to try to drive in runs with less than two outs and a runner on third, everyone else sucks!
*loving myself right now* dont look
Had to get Neifi in there. He’s a speed demon.
2 over .500, injuries to three All Stars, a closer who blows a game throwing a ball off a guy’s helmet.
Call those Cubs lucky!
It’s time to earn that HERO status
Get used to it, fellas… I don’t swing at junk.
dudes, hehehe dudes the old man didn’t see that coming hehehe
see why I’m your skipper dudes?
My line for the series:
3 games
1.1 ip, 3 hits, 2 bb, 1 hr, 3 r, 3 er
era: 20.30
Whip: 3.76
Putting Neifi in is me.
I’m the go-ahead run and the 9th inning beckons.
I started making logical pinch running and hitting decisions.
But my nut doesnt hurt today boss!
But my nut doesnt hurt today boss!
or not
Christ, who’s available to PH if Barrett draws a walk?
I’m on deck!
I’m afraid of the ball.
I think I’m empty after Hairston hits.
OK, now I’m going to put Macias behind the plate and put the pitcher in Barrett’s slot.
That’s how this double switch thing works, right?
eyre had to get 5 outs to finish that inning….
What a gracious move by Hank to allow Barrett to bat in his place there.
Good thing we’re carrying 12 pitchers…
This just smells like last night.
Tie it in the eighth. Blow a chance to win it and send Dempster out to pitch.
Jo-DEE is left.
Except Dempster was Novoa last night. I’ll shut up now. I’m sleepy.
These games are redic.
Dusty, remember, you don’t need to tell the umpires about double switches, that’s none of their business anyway.
Here’s your car keys Mr. Baker.
Hey, I can go another inning! What the hell?
About 30%
I won’t be charged on that run, they’ve changed the ruling to error!
One positive… we have the top up next inning… if that is still considered a positive.
I’m batting 5th, I will show of my power stroke.
See dudes, that’s why the Giants have failed without me. Felipe shouldn’t depend on those young guys like Tucker when he could be using Willie Mcgee or Chili Davis out there.
Has anyone seen my bike?
Even if the Cubs win, it’ll be me.
This team has more holes than swiss cheese.
Everybody get on us and clap and yell while Dempster wastes a pitch!
Now cheer for the pop out bitches!
Don’t worry dudes! I still have enough time to fuck this game up!
Did Alou just make a switch before Jer-rut was announced?
correia against the cubs, o shit….
WGN is giving me comission on these commercial breaks.
Wonder why my beeper’s going off.
I’m going to win this game with a home run and I’ll go on a hitting tear after that!
Anyone want to know anything about Soviet Patent Law?
Herow Rankees…I rove New Yohk!!!
gerut’s first hit a home run?
I forget how to spell my name.
sad, how are u gonna walk a weak ass hitter like that
Let’s see if you can bunt, NOW.
alou getting switch happy again
Hey Hideo! Fuck off!!! Your on the wrong blog! Now you have to love me long time Bitch!
Looks like it was on 5 pitches
dudes, I’m on fire!!! dudes
I’m gonna win this game now dudes and then I’m gonna go buy
me a big box of caramel flavored toothpicks dudes.
I think Gerut had an infield hit in his first Cub AB
Jod-dee, Jod-Dee Gerut! Watches the ball so well!
Four pitches, shower, and I still get paid, bitches!!
Walks are for whimps. See my .185 average here in Des Moinces?
Brog? What is brog? Dozo Yorusku.
Where the Fuck is Des Moinces?
Dusty loves my hustle…
Fear me.
They don’t have propa charactas to spell name. Must making up something.
dudes, the old man is confused! I told you dudes I was going to destroy him again! hehehe gerut did what I asked him to do, he’ll score yhe winning run dudes.
walk lee here
Exhibit 1,234,569 why it would KILL the Cubs to hustle. Macias might have beaten that out if he’d run, at least he’d have made Fassero make a tougher throw, which he might have thrown away. But we’ll never know.
Damn good thing Burnitz is batting between Lee and Ram.
Looks like my inane L-R-L-R is working out great.
For San Fran, that is.
Do you like my strategy? When we need a groundball, I hit a flyball. When we need a flyball, I hit a groundball.
I need to shut up.
hey cubs fans, now u know how we feel about barry
Dusty has no clue that putting Burnitz between his two best hitters is dumb. He thinks it helps Burnitz. But the batters IN FRONT OF YOU help you more than the ones behind you.
Looks like it will be up to me again.
Hey, the Cubs can try that cool call your shot, bunt single play from the end of Major League now.
At least Pat goaded Ron into calling out the lack of hustle.
Too bad Ron didn’t say that without the prodding. Would it kill him to slm a ballplayer? Woudl that be too Stoney?
dudes, Dlee to win the game dudes, with a speedster in second dudes. I planned for this dudes, now it’s all execution dudes. Don’t blame me dudes.
Once again, the Black Jesus is not given a chance to turn water into wine, bitches.
I run about as well as Jake Taylor, so I hope that works.
RAY!
It’s just too bad that I died before I could accidentally malaprop my way into calling that Japense guy “Nideo Homo”
I don’t give a shit who’s hitting, the Cubs ought to be able to score on the f@#$ing Troll.
Believe me, if I could have grounded into a DP there i would’ve.
If Felipe pitches to Burnitz instead of Perez, he deserves to lose.
except D-Lee is a classy, likable guy and not a flaxseed oil addict.
Jeromy just swung at me.
dudes they can walk lee but we got burnitz and nei fever up dudes, this is easy, the old man is about to collapse dudes
Ill take Burnitz in this situation over pinch running Neifi!
i feel the high fastball coming…
Two grand slams in a week, I can feel it, but there is no hank white batting behind me, they may intentionally walk me.
Pitch number 5 of this at-bat, was apparently at my shoulder. Don’t worry, I swung.
Jer-1-1-my.
How bout that!
The Cubs dodge yet another managerial bullet to the forehead.
Oh, you knew this was coming, dude.
FYC.
Jeromy Burnitz is no gladiator, buddy. He’s swinging for game winning RBI, showoff. I swing for fences. I would’ve bunny hopped after flying out deep to the warning track, buddy.
Someone check me
And the White Sox blew a 5-0 lead.
You can’t argue with success, but you can stare dumbfoundedly at it.
Had it in the bag all the time, dudes. It all started with me pinch running Neifi last inning. Without that, they would have had to pitch to Ramirez!
We so didn’t deserve that. We should just be slinking off the field with our tails between our legs.
Jeromy: “We actually made a couple nice defensive plays today.”
He’s as surprised as we are.
And he gets the shaving cream pie to the face.
That Ryan Dempster, he’s a cad!
I spend so much time covering for Dusty that I don’t know when I’ll be able to help the fools and drunks.
LaTroy doesn’t get the blown save. That’s a damn shame.
no easy decision for the old man dudes, either face burnitz or neifi “grand slam stuck in the fence so the umpires can’t screw us” perez dudes hehehe dudes
you went burnitz dude? you loose hehehe see? i told you, I have it under control dudes.
I totally outmanaged the old man again, and burnitz between lee and ramirez gives me the winner again dudes.
The number of runs we scored in the last three games that the Giants directly gave to us!
…and the VERY FIRST thing Jer-O-my says to Len when he got the headset on was “I swung at ball four.”
Short Bus… you’re certainly no Gladiator…. you’re just a cool cat. Bravo.
Jo-Deeeee! Jo-Dee Gerut!!! Outfielder with some wheels!!!!
Did they really, Chuck? Suh-weet.
Frankly, the Sox choking is more satisfying for me than this particular Cub victory. Not to be a party pooper, but they won in spite of themselves. Again.
God damn they’ve got to stop hitting like they’ve got a porcelan doll stuck in their collective ass. This team seems more tightly wound than last year, and it shows in all of those missed opportunities.
Hey gang, a win is a win…uh…oh well, I tried.
We make the Giants look like a contender.
dudes quit calling that mullet man in st louis the genius dudes, he don’t deserve it dudes, I am the real genius dudes. I used 12 non pitchers today dudes to win a game where we had almost half the hits as the SF dudes.
This is pure managerial genius dudes, putting in seed when needed dudes, putting in defense when needed dudes, hitting a mix of righty lefties that totally confused the opponent dudes…..I was brilliant today dudes and you know it dudes.
Priceless
KA BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!
Clearly, Cliff Politte did not strap it down today. We still got bullets to fire though, boys!
That LaTroy trade could hardly have paid better dividends. Williams has been good and LaTroy gave up the tying run three straight days. Who knew?
Unfortunate dead ass.
LaTroy? Yes.
Fassero? Why does a certain segment of Cub fans hate this guy? He gave all he had and kept them alive in 2001 when that loser Flash Gordon was hurt. Yeah, he sucked in ’02, but his work in ’01 is enough for me to remember him fondly.
His implosion in that game against the Padres in ’01 was the beginning of the end for that Cubs team. And in ’02 I was just sick of looking at him.
Andy, Don’t forget about me. I could turn out to be the best part of the trade.
dudes, these last few ballgames we’ve come from behind regularly to tie or win late in the ballgame dudes, eigth and ninth innings dudes you can’t count us out dudes.
This has a lot to do with me dudes, nobody is tanking it dudes and everybody plays hard for yours truly dudes. We’ll be a pain where the sun don’t shine for the rest of the ballclubs dudes for the rest of the season dudes.
Apparently I say “dudes” sometimes.
I blame Baylor for that game, CT.
He used the bullpen effectively the first three months that year in getting the team to a good position. By late July, when he should have begun to stretch out his starters more (since the bullpen had preserved them up to that point) he continued to go the bullpen by the book.
Jason Bere was pitching his best game of the year. He was cruising and Baylor inexplicably pulled him after 6 (maybe 7) innings with under 100 pitches. Yeah, Fassero filled the bases and gave up the granny to Klesko, but Baylor should have let Bere go the distance.
That was kick in the crotch #1. Preston Wilson in Miami off of Gordon was #2 and Brady Clark in Cincy off of Farnsworth was #3. God. Sometimes I think to myself, “Shit. We lived through that (and game 6 in ’03 and last year’s collapse). How can living through the games this July be so trying?”
What hasn’t killed us yet, will make us stronger…or kill us before September.
dudes, the cancers are long gone dudes. No more chip,stoney,sammy et all dudes.
In Dusty you trusty and there won’t be any problems dudes.
“What hasn’t killed us yet, will make us stronger”
That’s not true! I’m weak as a kitten…
Yeah I remember Baylor lifting Bere (he was very strong) and thinking “what the hell is he doing?”. Rightly or wrongly though, Fassero is going to be remembered for that grand slam more than for bailing the Cubs out while Gordon was injured in April and May.
The Cubs won now shut up for a while. Jesus.
Go fuck yourself, no. 589.
Hey #589. Fuck off if you don’t like whatcher readin!
If Dusty says “dudes” one more time, I’m sending myself back to the minors.
dudes while you’re in front of your computer relaxing after a big win dudes I’m here in my office with larry and sarge dudes and I’m going to give you a glimpse of what we’re doing dudes, it’s more or less what you see in that show on the nfl network called “jaguars preseason” dudes. I’m like jack del Rio dudes and we’re planning the next 4 games against arizona dudes. Looking at tape and figuring out some cool rigthy-lefty-righty lineups and double switchs. dudes.
Enjoy while we prepare dudes.
Haven’t been funny in a long, long time.
Were they ever?
better than bros jokes
Mine stems from this game at Wrigley that I drove eight hours round-trip to watch. If you were there, you probably hate him too.
June 19, 2002.
RANGERS 10TH: Perry walked; Mench singled to right [Perry to
second]; ROMANO RAN FOR PERRY; Kapler out on a sacrifice bunt
(pitcher to first) [Romano to third, Mench to second]; Young was
walked intentionally; LUDWICK BATTED FOR IRABU; Fassero threw a
wild pitch [Romano scored, Mench to third, Young to second];
Ludwick singled to center [Mench scored, Young scored]; Lamb was
called out on strikes; ZAMBRANO REPLACED FASSERO (PITCHING); I.
Rodriguez singled to center [Ludwick to second]; A. Rodriguez
forced I. Rodriguez (shortstop to second); 3 R, 3 H, 0 E, 2 LOB.
Rangers 7, Cubs 4.
That wild pitch in the 10th… hit the backstop about 8 feet up, on the fly. If that were the only game he’d trashed over the previous two seasons, I could forgive him that one bad outing. But lets not kid ourselves here. The man is awful and he deserves the Hawkins treatment whenever we see him. Thank you Jeromy.
I hate Farnsworth too.
My gamecasts suck.
they were sort of funny…I say keep em. Beat us into submission with dudes jokes.
yes, I love em.
Aaahhh DUDES!!
HA!
I remember that June 19, 2002 game. I was fanned by three different Cubs pitchers in it. Prior, Borowski and Farnsworth.
dudes no more baker basher dudes. All my haters are quiet in a dark corner dudes, waiting for the smallest of things to try and become the cancers of this 2005 season, dudes.
The cancers from last year we all know who they are dudes…it’s that guy in bristol, that guy in atlanta, that guy in baltimore, that guy in detroit, that guy in sf and that guy in cinci dudes.
they are gone dudes, relax, it’s time for victory and I’ll shall provide it.
This year’s criticts and possible 2005 cancers?
they are quiet dudes…Goes to show you what good fundamental baseball and managerial skills do, dudes. Quiet a lot of folks dudes.
I’ll say it again dudes….who you want instead of me dudes? Riggelman? please, dudes.
FUck you Dusty, the dude thing …. I just traded myself to the Devil Rays for an a-baller
Do I go away now?
“Goes to show you what good fundamental baseball and managerial skills do, dudes.”
This is clearly a joke, no one is this dumb.
We need to be drawn and quartered, and made into hot dogs that will be sold at The Urinal Cake.
Will anyone be surprised when I’m not starting tomorrow?
You fans are “classless” for booing Hawk, if I wasn’t having a freakishly good fluke year, you would boo me all the way back to Florida for shit like this. Why do Dempster, me, and Dustbag care about the other team’s players so much? Would Ozzie,and his players say shit like this? No, they would kick the guy when he was down on the field, and not say a damn thing about it off the field…whether they agreed with the treatment or not. Why does every Cub buy into the touchie feelie bullshit? LaTroy alienated the fans, and did not perform, I get a pass for my play, but Dempster and Dusty need to shut the fuck up, or some fans might target them next. Do they want that…I don’t get this shit, fuck LaToya…fuck him in the ear.
Hey, Dusty mang!
You tried my bunt plays and other fung stuff, so I tried to manage like you for two days.
You suck, mang.
Not winning is not fung.
Is it true you don’t want to start nomar, mang? We’ll trade you for him. Nomar is fung!
Mr. Guillen, may I come work for you, please? You’d play me. Wouldn’t you, sir?
There sure was a good number of me at the game today.
Wow, I am a huge fag.
Wow, I am ugly…and stupid.
Am I the new nickname for Busch Stadium?
Considering the way I smell, that’s a high compliment.
There’s nothing new about me. I’m even older than the “dudes” “gags”.
uh, no offense fellas, but Wrigley also smells like a giant pisshole.
