We always have a hard time with CIN & PITT so we better get ready for some tough games that we gotta win. We need PIN involved. When the GOAT comes he's gotta step in and get things straightened out and not just let bad things happen.
GO CUBS !!!!!!!

I think we're gonna have the edge with Cincy this time around!

Go CUBS!

Yeah, We just came all the way back and won, but ya know, couldn't see it, because it was on Comcast! Thats bogus! The home of the Cubs is WGN! All games should be on WGN or ESPn that way ALL Cubs fans can see ALL the games.

Hey Bob:

I'm glad you're finally callin' 'em as you're seeing 'em! I almost fell out of my chair when you stole my thunder. But use your own terminology from now on, eh?

But you correctly called the Bonehead Play of the Night: Sorry-Clowno's blunder of running to third on a routine grounder to SS, thus becoming an easy out. What was he thinking? Or is he incapable of intelligent thought? (OK, we won't go there.)

Ditto, when he overthrew the cut-off man on a throw to the plate, allowing a Reds' runner to advance to 3B. That runner eventually scored. Oh brother, there were others too, but I'll spare all of you the gruesome details.

What are we gonna do with this guy, who cost the club $143mil, but does whatever he wants to out there...which is very often wrong. Please tell me we're not stuck with him for 7 more years after this! I can't take it.

Wassup with these managers? What was Loser Lou doing, batting Craig Monroe instead of Cliff Floyd? Huh? You may recall that Monroe then promptly grounded into a DP. Wake up Lou!

And what was the Reds manager doing when he walked PH Ward, cold off the bench, only to pitch to DeRosa? Thx for the gift buddy! DeRo was 4-for-4 at the time...and came up with the winning hit. Hello, is anybody home? Well, that is, except for PR Sam Fuld, who was scampering home...with the winning run...

Thx to that decision, the Reds Mgr steals the runner-up Bonehead Play of the Day from Sweet Lou. Congrats, and many thx. Keep up the great work buddy. Believe me, the Cubs need all the help they can get. Geez!

Finally, I want to make Rose and the rah-rah Cubs fans happy by giving cudos to DeRo. Can anybody say Team MVP? What a great addition he's been! Congrats too, to Ohman and Hart. They were brilliant in relief, holding the fort till the great rally. I really like this Hart kid. He's a keeper!

And then there was D Lee, The Riot and Ramirez. Now there's some clutch play! D Lee also made a couple great plays in the field.

Well, it looks like a set a record with this post. Sorry to you folks with short attention spans. Either way, tomorrow's another day. Oh no, is Sham-clowno on the mound! I dont think I can take it either! Is this team aggravating or what? Go Cubs!

Sincerely,

Paul from Reality

Hey Nick R, I have a suggestion. I watch those games, that are not on WGN TV, on MLB.com. Its only $14 for the month. You can also see how the Cards and Milw are doing when the Cubbies aren't on. Its not the best quality, watching it on your computer and all, but it sure beats missing the games.

Just a suggestion, that's all. Go Cubs!!1

OK.... I FINALLY have recovered from last night's game and can BREATHE again!!! This team is GUTS personified.
I'm SOOOOO happy for DE-RO and our BULLPEN. It HAS TO BE our year!!! Way to go men, way to go!!!

Ah well, I guess once a cheerleader always a cheerleader.

Ok Paul, since you seem to be trying so hard (lol) I'll give you this...Soriano's little hippety-hop thing he does out there when he catches a fly does make me a tad nervous. But you do know why we have Soriano, don't you? It's for the long ball, which HAS saved our "hiney" several times already.
