Do we have alternate programming in case of a rain delay? Anybody wanna talk Bears? Cuz I’m bored.
who?
hello?
is this thing on?
Was at the game yesterday and saw Neifi hanging out in the bullpen… I thought the Cubs finally made him a coach to spare us from watching him play, then around the 6th or 7th inning a bullpen catcher started helping him stretch and he jogged to the dugout. I thought for sure a dusty switch was on the way, but thankfully it didn’t happen. Lucky he’s batting 2nd today and no one in the front office thinks this alone is enough to fire the man playing 40 year olds while 20 under .500
In keeping with the usual theme here, maybe Hendry won’t ever fire him because he likes having a personal baker? He’s confused
What’s with the gaggle of dopes behind home plate in the red “Target” Cubs shirts? Nothing says corporate outing quite like watching the Cubs try to get back to 20 under .500.
I see drunk people!
Anybody know what 10 percent of $1,500 is?
Uh oh, don’t see the legendary pink hat wearing old man that sits in a different seat behind home plate at every game yet. Wonder if the Target clan took him out
Gee Mrs. Cleaver, you look lovely today.
So a big storm blew through new Busch and destroyed a bunch of press box windows, knocked down some signs, blew up the Fox Sports Midwest set on the concourse and thousands of people lost power?
I thought they only had power in Missouri when the win WAS blowing?
Yes, Andy…we “sponsor” a section of seats during Cubs games. They aren’t Target employees..but we give fans some free shi-, uh, stuff…and in return, they wear these stupid shirts.
Feel me female doges? Most definitely.
Fear me bitches! The Sox are lucky Jeem Hendry will no trade me. If he do, I go to Tigers and they win division by 57 game!
Wait, Target thinks that’s a great promotion? How in the hell did they end with enough money to buy my stores and then sell them for a profit? Morans.
I’d like to be Tom Hanks’ friend.
Hanks, Howard pay visit to GABP
Anybody have Dusty’s phone number? I need a new team with fewer rules to break.
Do you have any pornography?
Want some?
I play third baseman with much alacrity. Wait, you’re not supposed to kick foul balls fair?
The bases are loaded!
And so am I!
Damn, we don’t have enough Nevin’s and Neifi’s to keep Cedeno, Murton, AND Theriot on the bench

How come kids who go to Dunkin Donuts can’t play real sports?
Hey, remember me! It’s Houston, an overcast day…
Forgot the Cubs were even on.
We should tilt the gamecast to the Tigers/Sox. It’s 1-0 bad guys in the 6th.
“They just happened to be three guys who have film and television credits that have earned them millions of fans.”
Hanks and Howard anyway. Miller has about 20 fans.
1st back to back of the year!
I ruined that smart-ass punk’s career by forcing him to serve as President Bush’s court jester.
And boy does Andy Pettite suck elephant ass.
Are we really bad, or is Carlos just filthy?
Hey Woody, I didn’t do to bad against these guys in June 2003 either. Too bad Dusty wouldn’t let me go all 16 innings.
Did you see my show on CNBC? I didn’t think so.
that John Peter is fast
Big Cats take two out of three from the Pale Hose.
I’d say they passed their first post-All-Atar break test.
(Gesticulates)
Good Lord…no Shea Hillenbrand. Please no.
Thirty-four posts through eight innings of a Cubs’ game? Woof. The fans might still be sitting in the seats, but they ain’t talkin’ bout no Cubs.
And this just in…that Carlos Zambrano guy? He’s good.
I just got traded to the Braves!
For a guy named Maximiliano. Mmm. I like those Maximimiliano cookies!
Z is awesome but do any of you think Dustbag should have taken him out after the 7th?
yawn……….
I know this is a little late, but we have had a bit of a electricity problem. Watching Nefi try to get out of the way of that foul ball was priceless. What in the hell was he doing in the pen anyway
