I am the Cubs record with Koyie Hill catching.

I am the sum of asshole catcher’s baserunning goofs, passed balls, mishandled plays at home, etc.

asshole catcher
on June 15, 2007 at 1:06 pm
I will tap the ground 4000 times if I want a pitch in the dirt to get past me, 5000 if I want Lilly to simply drop the ball, so I can run up and mishandle something.

Len and Bob
on June 15, 2007 at 1:26 pm
Anybody notice how bad Len and Bob suck? Everytime I see asshole catcher written on this site, I have to remind myself we aren’t talking about those two retards. During the Braves series I watched the game on TBS so I could listen to Chip. That guy still knows more about the Cubs than our asshole announcers! I say drop BJ and the Bear from TV broadcasts and just simulcast Pat and Ron.
It’d be nice if Barrett and Jock would stop giving people ammunition by actually delivering a clutch hit every now and then. Granted, Jock’s had none so far this season while Michael’s had a few, but killing what would have been an awesome two-out rally against Tubbo by flying out on the first pitch is not exactly going to help him save face.

God, I’m sick and tired of Michael Barrett. He needs to be dragged out behind the Cubby Bear and shot in the medulla oblongotta. This guy hurts the team every single time he touches a baseball, a bat or the infield dirt. He’s less useless than HOF votes for Ron Santo.

on June 15, 2007 at 1:56 pm
Did Lilly really just bunt with 2 out and the bases empty?
If my 6 years of taking Spanish in jr. high, high school, and college has taught me anything, it’s that “Bocachica”, translated, means, “Woman’s mouth”.

I am reporting that Andy’s ex Campbell Brown is leaving NBC to join CNN.
Why don’t you step out from the dankness of ma’s basement, strap on a pair, say who you are, start a blog, and rip on Len and Bob at will?
Cuz using this Gamecast as your own platform in constantly flooding us with this is stuff lame. You’ve said it once, we get it. There’s nothing wrong with bashing Len and Bob if that’s how you feel. Sure, most people here like them, and that gives you the contrarian hat to wear. Bully for you. You wanna keep pounding the point home, though? Then please–start a blog and fire away. Maybe you’ll find that some people agree with you.
Then we can come and flame you for saying Chip is better than ANYBODY. Dolt.

Inane Blathering
on June 15, 2007 at 2:22 pm
Actually, “Len and Bob”, Mike D. wasn’t really defending Len and Bob. He was pointing out how tiring it is that you feel the need to consistently spam the gamecast with your ham-handed observations.
Reading comprehension is a skill, dumbass. Don’t worry, though. You may not need to go to school for it. You can stay in that palace you call “mom’s basement” and take some classes on-line. Hooray for you.

Working a full count before getting a hit? We don’t do that kind of thing around here. You’re on notice.
Neal and Bob
on June 15, 2007 at 2:27 pm
We do no play by play ever. We only talk about music and the Diamondbacks and interview vendors during the game. We could tape our whole broadcast before the game, because nothing we ever say is relevant to what’s happening on the field. At least Chip announcing the count and each play and cuts off his babbling color guy to call the play. Because his job is play by play. Even though Chip is a complete turd, he did his job.
Congratulations! You have purchased a solid state Black and White 10″ RCA television! No longer do you have to imagine the scene as told to you on the radio! Now you have pictures to show you what’s going on. Of course you might have dickhole announcers who think they’ll need to tell you that Gene Baker just grounded out to Eddie Mathews, but if you have a good pair of eyes, you’ll see it for yourself and you can turn down the sound.
With any luck, in a few years, the sound coming from TV will complement the pictures you see, and fucksticks like the yet to be born Chip Caray will be unnecessary.
All of those thoroughly enjoying that fattubofgoo David Wells getting his ears pinned back this inning, say “aye”.

I agree with Basket. How in the hell are bleacher fans able to touch baseballs in play? I’ve leaned over that wall a couple of times during b.p. to try to reach toward the front of the basket, and barely got within a foot of the front edge of the basket… what the hell?
So, I get back from Kiddieland and I see idiots in the bleachers.
Then, two balls are hit to those idiots.

Played hooky so I’m watching on WGN. Yay – what a game! Len Kaspar has called this “Basket Day” at Wrigley. This is crazy. Two deep flies barely missed the basket – and the dumbass fans are interfering – be it called interference or not, they’re being idiots by reaching over the basket. Shortly thereafter, Fontenot actually gets one in the basket – but not by much. Finally, Soriano got one out without chance of interference.
Kiddieland does not suck. Well, not if you have kids under 8 years old. On the plus side, they have pop dispensers all over teh park for free. I think I drank 3 gallons of Diet Pepsi.
On the minus, they were infested by cicadas. I think I’m deaf now.

#144 – I’m thinking the 2.94 team ERA (0.68 lower than the next closest team, the Dodgers) and 10 shutouts (next is SF with 5) has a big part to do with your record.
Radio
on June 15, 2007 at 3:58 pm
Ummm, 1987? ( #155)?
Not only had the radio been invented 7 decades prior to you, but there was also a little thing known as the evening news. Johnny Morris, or Mark Giangreco (then on Channel 5) or Tim Wiegel would have told us what happened at around 5:23 (or 10:23) and even shown us 3 highlights.
#157

Wow, you are so right. You are seeing the fact that I grew up outside the Chicagoland area.
I guess it should have been 1907. Hey, we won the WS that year.
They didn’t have radios or phones (222-1234 for the Tribune’s scores line) or televisions in me?
I remember that there was some place that they even published the phone numbers at pay phones at ballparks so you could call a pay phone on one of the concourses at the Stick and ask whoever picked up the phone who was winning the Giants-Reds game.

No, it was more like Douchie.

I’m on gameday, so I can’t see. Did Lilly put his number on the mound like that pile of flesh did in San Diego?
Actually, #15, I hate Chip. Thank god I’m not actually related to him.
#13’s not fit to lick the Budweiser off my dead husband’s taint. Go get run over by a beer truck, troll.
The Cubs love me! Hot day, catcher just looking out for his boy behind the plate. Make sure he gets in before heat stroke.

Actually, I’m not allowed anywhere near Wrigley anymore. Me and the Goat watch the games from an undisclosed field in southern illinois
We have a Fontenot that doesn’t suck

Gee, I kind of look like a professional hitter out there.

you can undo the ties holding the basket to the metal posts pretty easily, and pull the basket up if you want.
Not that I ever took pliers to the game and did that very thing, mind you.
I suck.
what will become of me when e-ramis returns?
It’s starting to look like Ted Roosevelt has me in him today fellas.
David Wells is me
We’d be all over you and your pliers
that’s what Theodore has thrown today through 7
Played hooky so I’m watching on WGN. Yay – what a game! Len Kaspar has called this “Basket Day” at Wrigley. This is crazy. Two deep flies barely missed the basket – and the dumbass fans are interfering – be it called interference or not, they’re being idiots by reaching over the basket. Shortly thereafter, Fontenot actually gets one in the basket – but not by much. Finally, Soriano got one out without chance of interference.
Kiddieland does not suck. Well, not if you have kids under 8 years old. On the plus side, they have pop dispensers all over teh park for free. I think I drank 3 gallons of Diet Pepsi.
On the minus, they were infested by cicadas. I think I’m deaf now.
somebody tell me why sometimes i animate pitches and give speed and break angle info, but other times no?
Nothing tougher than hiding some pliers from a blind 90-year-old dude.
I even pulled it off when there was a security guard in LF who looked like Zappa.
runners on, nobody out. crap, that’s bad Cub mojo.
double play…
Hobbit? Really? I’m 5″11. Fontentot, on the other hand, is only 3 apples tall.
that’s what i like to call a two-out sacrifice. got lee over to third, didn’t it?
didn’t it?
So, #105, you want to make it harder for the Cubs to hit a homer so you have a better shot at a cheap-ass souvenir? That’s just lovely.
God, we have some dumbasses in the bleachers.
was just inserted into that rally.
ODC comes up big again.
I’m still behind Dispensa’s Kiddie Kingdom and Santa’s Village.
Maybe we wanted to pull the basket in if the opposing team had one heading our way.
I got plenty of baseballs back when they actually let you in for BP.
We’ve got our fast outfield now. Speed don’t slump, dude.
Hey, 75″ Cubfan, that was #110, not me
Well, that’s fine. As long as the drunk-ass sitting down the row doesn’t prevent our OF from making the catch.
This was before the Bleachers turned into a drunken frat house full of retards.
Hey, pliers-weilding db, just stay out of the way
Might Teddy have me in him today??
Let’s not get ahead of ourselves
Russell Branyan? Someone euthanize this motherfucker already. Something tells me he’s made definitely a few teams’ version of “Best Thread Ever”
Donkey Balls?
Dick bag?
Douche bag?
Donny Brasco?
Danny Bonnaduce?
Where’s PPE when you need him?
Kerm–
I think Russel Branyan is a Cub Killer.
as long as it’s not Dusty Baker
You are correct, sir.
I’m fucking money today boys.
Let Theodore finish it up!
decibel?
now…
Hey, it’s Jock Jones! Oh, there goes Jock Jones. One pitch.
hit the shit out of that one.
WGN just showed Barret and Lilly talking normally in the dugout. Carlos jumps over and pretends to be separating them. Barret laughs. Classic.
I feel good about three run save opportunities because it means I can give up two runs in one inning and still walk away feeling great!
Why exactly is that classic? Is it enjoyable to watch teammates fight each other?
Dempster will always scare the piss out of me. Hence, I will be watching this inning with clenched everything.
yes
But my hemorrhoids are flaring up again.
It’s startin’ to come together, Pepper. It’s startin’ to come together.
How exactly are we over .500 with nobody even sniffing .300 ba?
Saawheat!
Bully!
It’s hard to believe, not only did we get the win but there was no major fuck up from the asshole catcher.
We’re very excited that the Padres are here for Father’s day weekend. We have created at least one pun per inning to use on Sunday. Please join us for all the fun!
Considering Pancakes (and of course Hank) are ailing, the Cubs are starting to play some decent baseball. Suspect its the law of averages more than anything else, but it is nice to see.
Do a litle dance…
Make a little love…
Get down tonight!
Get down tonight!
Cubs win! 4-1.
I was awesome and should have been watching on TV instead of followed from a cubicle.
Anybody miss me today? What’s been happening?
watching = watched
I feel your pain. I actually have fake Ivy on my cubicle walls just so I can daydream about actually being there. Sounds like I can get a basket too if I just take some pliers to the game.
If you suckers were working during me, you would have had to wait until the paper the next morning to know what happened. Or ridden the red line past Addison.
#144 – I’m thinking the 2.94 team ERA (0.68 lower than the next closest team, the Dodgers) and 10 shutouts (next is SF with 5) has a big part to do with your record.
Ummm, 1987? ( #155)?
Not only had the radio been invented 7 decades prior to you, but there was also a little thing known as the evening news. Johnny Morris, or Mark Giangreco (then on Channel 5) or Tim Wiegel would have told us what happened at around 5:23 (or 10:23) and even shown us 3 highlights.
Wow, you are so right. You are seeing the fact that I grew up outside the Chicagoland area.
I guess it should have been 1907. Hey, we won the WS that year.
They didn’t have radios or phones (222-1234 for the Tribune’s scores line) or televisions in me?
I remember that there was some place that they even published the phone numbers at pay phones at ballparks so you could call a pay phone on one of the concourses at the Stick and ask whoever picked up the phone who was winning the Giants-Reds game.
Besides Andre Dawson’s tits year, was there anything else worth following in 1987? The Tards won the pennant and the Cubs finished last.
It was supposed to be 20 years ago. the parallelism to 2007….what season WAS worth following?
I guess 1984 and 1989. I was pretty young for those, though I do have a 1989 Eastern Division Champs shirt. yessss.
Iron Maiden
Guys, instead of saying *******, could you say *******
I guess Mike Hohensee to Glen Kozlowski was worth following in 1987.
Will it be me that shows up tomorrow?
Or me?
