I can’t even blame the late start of the GameCast on WGN this time. I forgot today was a day game. See how intensely we’re all following the Cubs these days?
So what’d we miss?
The Cubs scored in the top of the first when E-ramis drove in Unlucky Pierre on a sac fly.
In the bottom of the first, Mark Prior is trying to quiet talk of a Dusty Baker contract extension by walking everyone unless he’d like for them to double off the left field wall and then Angel Pagan can throw one into the dugout.
And we just saw that Jock’s throw last night was a mirage as he couldn’t come close to throwing out 340 pound Prince Fielder on a sac fly from medium deep right field.
3-1 Brewers.
I am but a shell of the pitcher I once was. On a staff with proven veteran studs like Juan Mateo, Rich Hill and Carlos Marmol, I am clearly the worst of the lot.
Kevin Mench just scored on me without a serious throw to the plate. I almost remembered to get my momentum moving forward on that one. Almost.
Mirage confirmed.
Is it my imagination or has Nevin struck out in five consecutive plate appearances?
is there a record for consecutive strikeouts?
We still have action in the wild-card race.
I read today that Sean Marshall is going to make “two or three” rehab starts at Iowa. Huh? When you’re team is out of it, why not just make the “rehab” starts in Chicago? He strained an oblique he didn’t have a Siamese twin sawed off him. Guh.
I’m sure there is a record for consecutive strikeouts.
Call Rick Reilly! The Brewers just pitched around E-ramis to get to Phil Nevin.
How is this different than pitching around a guy to get to the cancer patient?
How come the Chicago media didn’t write any feel-good stories about my red hot July?
I posted an on base average of .290, struck out 21 times and walked once and after stealing 23 bases in May and June, I stole four in July.
That’s Six now, Nevin!
got to be a record
I’m all growed up and I seem to enjoy carbs!

Nevin and Jones There is a one two punch for Dusty!
oh cool, a gamecast.
I just tune in and prior is already out of the game?
Is that 6 straight Ks for me?
the gravitational pull of my head keeps pulling pitches out of the zone and knocking me off the plate.
HELLO?
[echo]hello[/echo]
[softer echo](hello?)[/softer echo]
anyone in here?
Prior should be joining us soon. he has shit else to do.
wait, I’m a brewer now?
fuck, I can’t even keep track anymore.
I went 14 in a row in 1968.
I can’t even spell my name anymore.
I am fucking killing the ball lately.
how many hitters are having a better 2nd half than me?
I am mesmerizing.
Do not stare directly at me or you will fall under my spell.
Stumpy
*koff*
The upside is that I only threw 58 pitches before I was pulled.
the downside is that only 8 of them were strikes.
alert,
mike maddux’s mustasche is being interviewed…i’m getting dizzy.
I am palpable.
¿Dónde estaba ayer?
I know you all loved that 96 MPH cheeseball I served up to Crede last night. I was really trying to get the Sox back in it for you Cubby faithful. I hadn’t grooved one like that in Chicago since I was wearing royal blue pinstripes on the north side. Don’t hate me because your wives think I am hot, hate me because I have the world most hittable 100MPH fastball, and still make millions every year.
actually, Kyle, you grooved a few like that to the astros last year in the NLDS
And Ron Ce starts ahead of me, why??
Mother Fucker,
The only reason i’m still watching this crap is to see the sausage race.
MLBtv blocked it out.
This sucks.
got razors?
2 run ballgame Bithes!
Hey Hank, what’s a Bith??
Like me.
wade, I kill you now.
umm…what the f$%@ is “Central DAYLIGHT Time”? Is that some new daylight savings time thing? Jump forward an hour when the Cubs are out of it?
You know its a Gamecast when I completely forget about it until 4:20, well after the game’s conclusion. Oh, how humiliating, Gamecast style.
NOW MORE THAN EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Screw you guys, I’m not pitching again until Dusty’s gone….79 days! OW I hurt my fingers typing this.
I wonder why SD forgot about the Cubs at me.
