Len & Bob's baseball blog

heh bob, who's the guy who always sits behind home plate at wrigley with the green shirt and pink ball hat? hope he does laundry!!!!

Griffey showed some real style points while rolling his bat onto the dugout to that kid...I'm sure the kid will get more use out of this bat than Griffey did this series...

Cubs need the day off tomorrow...TBone (as we call #2) looks weary, as does Lee. signed, Amigoman

Could you explain why Soriano is batting 1st in the line up. He has a bad leg and way more power than Theriot. He is also a VERY free swinger. It just seems to make more sense to put him in the two hole.

tonite was goood - then i watched milwaukee lose - hot dog - the guy in the pink hat does get excited - lets go. however i was disappointed that i had to listen and watch on fsnohio -

CUBS WIN!!

My oh my is Lilly clutch or what?

Cmon Big Z, we need you too!

HEY HEY HEY Len!
You were totally right about the importance of this game. Thank god the cubs pulled it off. Lilly was phenomenal and Lou keeping Howry in worked great too. Oh and how about Geovany coming up big?!! Hopefully we can keep rolling and win this division!

Hi Guys,

I was wondering if you could wish my Buddy Dave Heidemann a Happy Birthday today?!?

He will be watching the game tonight at the Pub II in Bloomington, IL

Have a fantastic night!!

Thank you

what a disappointment no game anywhere we had to miss a great game i listened to Pat and Ron , i usually have you 2 on tv and wgn on the background and i enjoy listening to base ball very much but why was this game not on somewhere for us to to watch one of the best games of the year

Hey guys you really made me chuckle Tuesday night and I wasn't alone. Your broadcasts have been great and when you were telling the story of Harry Carry and what you learned from him about not saying what you thought Cubs fans wanted to hear after Harry asked you if you really believed what you said made me laugh a few minutes later. I have to play Harry right now and ask you, did you really believe what you said after the the pitcher poll of who Cub fans thought they wanted in a must win game? Z is erratic, unreliable under pressure and the Jimmy Peirsal story in progress.Lily is reliable, stable,consistent and has better stats in many areas. Cub fans loved Harry because not only did he NOT say what he thought we wanted to hear, he did not say what he thought Cub players or the Cubs wanted to hear either. He said what Die hard Cubs fans who have been watching their entire lives were thinking. So when Lily got 70% of the vote and you guys defended Z, I thought to myself, they just said they got it when Harry taught Bob a lesson.Then my sister says the same thing to me, maybe Harry should give them another lesson. Then my mom calls and says the same thing. So I have to chuckle and ask, did you really believe what you were saying about using Z in the must win or were you protecting his fragile schizophrenic ego.

I think the cubs did an excellent game last night soriano going deep in the 1st inning.
go go cubs!!

I have a theory. Griffey will probably retire after this season. Last night was his last game at Wrigley. He faked his injury so he could get all the attention in his last game at Wrigley. Either that, or he wants his season to be over already. Just a theory.

Last night was AWESOME!! Back in first by ourselves, sweet. Won't the Spew Crew just GO AWAY already??

The next 10 days are gonna be the death of me....but that could only be the beginning. WHAT IF THEY MAKE THE PLAYOFFS????

Ye gad.

My fingernails are already all gone....hey Lenny, pass the Pepto, will ya? :)

GO CUBS GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

man where would this team be without lilly,he has became our stopper and our ace in my mind,now if we can just get big Z goign consistently we will have a great one,two punch.and i was so happy to see lou leave in howry to close out the game,sick or not sick i still dont like demp. closing.....wqell its in the cubs hands,we got the easier scedule then the crew,they start a 4 game series with the braves tonight,all though i dont care much for atlanta cuz of what happened earlier this year between the cubs and braves but im rooting for them now,go braves.....and go cubs go!

A good win for us last night but I am still worried about the low run production. Soto has my vote to to start his career behind the plate right now (Then I will forgive Hendry for trading Barret). If Z doesn't win his last two starts then Lilly will be our Ace(he already is in my opinion). D Lee just doesn't seem to be D Lee. I have more confidence in D Rosa with runners in scoring position than D Lee. I wish Murton played more, he has untapped power in the 25-30 home run range just begging for a chance. Note to Hendry: Maddux has 12 wins this year. Work hard Cubbies, it's far from over but Harry would be proud nontheless!!

for people saying the game was no televised,it was it was on wciu,which is channell 26 on directtv and i believe people get wciu with just basic cable so the game was on tv.

Just finished the Brewer's/Braves game which the Braves won 3-1. Just a little more breathing room for our Cubs. What concerns me is the Pirate's plans on pitching three lefties this weekend. Lets hope the Cubs can shake that leftie jinx. A little more patience at the plate would help. Lee apppears tired but we can't spare him at this crucial point in the season. I'd like to see more consistancy from Zambrano. The Cubs can't afford any more bad games from him.
