Isn’t July 1 Michael Barrett Bobble Head night?
Hmmm….
When did Derreck Lee become me?
That’s a hell of a swinging neckbreaker Jock has going on there. Maybe the WWE would like to take his contract off our hands.
I’m in the lineup today!
Lineups:
Cubs
Soriano, LF
Fontenot, 2B
Lee, DH
Ward, 1B
DeRosa, 3B
Bowen, C
Pagan, RF
Pie, CF
Theriot, SS
Rangers
Kinsler, 2B
Hairston, LF
Young, SS
Byrd, CF
Diaz, DH
Melhuse, C
Wilkerson, RF
Metcalf, 3B
Vazquez, 1B
I plan to make next inning last one hour.
Is there a legitimate major league team if you combine us?
No.
What does Theriot do? 5-2-3? Line into the DP, K?
Barrett bobble head? Heh. Should be Barrett Bobble Throw.
I am here
Soriano is mMr. Giddyyap.
I think Ron’s going to have a heart attack if we don’t score here. I hope Dave Otto is standing by.
Charge the paddles.
I am on your team, clogging your basepaths.
CLEAR!
We decided to take a day off today.
Remember when you thought it was only the last few years of my contract were going to be an albatross? Good times.
We, on the other hand, are looking to give Cal Ripken’s streak a run for its money.
Hey, Great Cub Offense. You’ve been missing the entire Jim Hendry Years.
I too will soon be clogging the bases for the Cubbies!!
Yep, that sure solved the problem!
Certified Cubs Killer (TM)
Take THAT, Jason! HA!
Ah, this is comical.
Man, I wish I was back in San Diego.
The Cubs are a warm weather team. This is our day, right?
Yep, getting rid of Barrett sure made the pitching better.
I’m a little concerned about all those white dudes in the lineup. They’re not used to the heat you know.
Even better times than the 5 seconds during which the Soriano deal looked like a winner.
Don’t worry…..*smack smack*….mmm…is this raspberry filled?……..we’ll…..mmmm…..this is good, get me some more of these donuts, Carrie….get something done.
‘nother 2 out sacrifice! yes!
Why the hell is Gerald Perry escaping notice for this shitty offense? It seems no one can regularly hit the fucking ball like a Major Leaguer.
How wonderful it is to feel that you’re totally out of a game, down three against the “worst” team in MLB with its “worst” pitcher on the mound.
This season is over. Nothing left but to beat up on the Sox this weekend. If that doesn’t happen, then … I don’t even know.
Getting rid of Barrett will fix everything. Just like I told you that Juan Pierre was exactly what the Cubs needed.
It’s coming.
Wow. I’m misquoting myself.
That oughta up the re-sale value.
I’m teh bomb at taking walks!!
…which is a good thing, because nobody would want to repeat anything I actually said. Except for Jay Mariotti, I mean.
In your face, bitch!
gets a hit! that seems about par for the day.
PWNED!
Remember me swine?!!
…learn how to type and fucking spell check.
..Teh hell is spell check?!!
It’s over.
Could explain this crapfest. If so that’s the most retarded thing in the history of this retarded franchise.
It’s been a fun 3 months. I’ll check back in next year.
I think I will go staple my upper lip to my desk now!….
Alfonso Soriano?
Barry Zito?
Jason Schmidt?
Ted Lilly?
Jason Marquis?
Now that is a battle.
V. Diaz
A. Melhuse
J. Hair Jew
M. Byrd
V. Padilla
You have GOT to be fucking kidding me.
I just got home, and its 0-5 already. I think I’ll start drinking now.
We are not!!
Schmidt. He’s out for the season.
Over? Nothing’s over until WE say it is.
And that was on May 18th.
I’m very disgruntled. I already sucked as a baseball fan. But now I suck as a disgruntled baseball fan.
Oh, how humiliating.
Yay!
Now more than ever.
I’m not much of a Riot anymore….maybe more of a “Peaceful Protest”.
Yeah, but those other bums are in there every (five) day(s).
Sounds like a wash to me. Fonzie shows up every 5 days, too.
Don’t worry guys, I’m going to mix the lineup tomorrow….
I can call a serious game, can’t I?!!…..kill me…
I have become a promo whore….
I’m off to Wisconsin for family vacation. Just stopped at my folks’ house to water their plants. I just thought I’d stop by to report that, even for Santo, he’s in rare form:
1) Started off his extra pre-game interview with Cliff Floyd by addressing him as “Floyd”
2) Had a bug up his ass IMMEDIATELY about Padilla’s rain-delay approach to pitching. Like from the very first pitch after Soriano got on base in in the first.
3) When Pie was up in he 2nd, he said, before the 3-1 pitch, “Ya gotta do it here because the pitcher’s up next.” Pat, being well-trained on playing the Nice Guy, let it go before announcing the walk to Pie, and then announced the “NEXT HITTER, RYAN THERIOT!” To which Santo immediately howled, “That’s RIGHT! American League! I ga, I don’t, I’m just…GONE.” And then they both basically laughed about how fucking retarded he is. Sad, but still good times. The Texas heat must be killing the poor bastard. That and this fucking team.
Ya think maybe EG hates this team yet?
Go Bears.
You guys see that throw by Marlon Bird? Dayum.
Well, if Mariotti is stealing from me, he finally has an excuse for how bad a writer he is.
Were he to steal from me more often, at least he wouldn’t be as stupid.
That is good times. Someone should pass good ole’ Ron a few Sugar Babies and maybe a couple of Snickers….
Who’s going to go make a Rob Bowen Bukake thread?
Take that Barrett!
I’m too damn good to be on this bunch of losers
Mmmmmm. Bukake!
A Cubs’ rally built around timely hitting of singles and working counts? Who are these imposters in Cub uniforms???
Hey, don’t Bogart the blunt, nig… huh? What pitcher? Oh, fuck the game! Hah! Don’t worry, man! It’s the Cubs.
I’m going to run out and give my brother and undie grundy yo!!
I may run like Mays, but my brother pitches like shit.
I’m in….
Nice try, Mr. Imposter. Scott Eyre can’t run.
Why do I emphasize the wrong syllable in Felix Pie’s name?
Why have I been sucking lately?
Corey Provist is awful. He’s getting better though. He used to be shitty. Now he’s awful.
OK, so I run like Willie Mays Aiken.
Sucks,
got quelled
C’mon Theriot. I really don’t want to turn on you. I’ve always liked you. but….
Oh, no.
I think I hate him.
So much for “Peaceful Protest.” I think Theriot’s fallen to “Silent Demonstration.”
Killed by Theriot
He’s now “pour gasoline all over himself and light a match.”
Any idea why Pie wasn’t running during the entire at-bat of Theriot? 1st and 3rd, 1 out?
We could use a guy exactly like Theriot. Where can we find one?
# 91: Because Ron Washington and I were smoking a blunt together. I missed the whole inning. Did we score?
When do you folks think I’ll my plane ticket back to Des Moines?
A lot of managers smoke blunts during us, since they’ve nothing better to actually do other than clap their hands and chew tobacco.
Once I give up those first 5 runs or so, I’m absolutely cruising.
Eramis back = me gone
…over Pizza Pizza any day folks!!
Note the gritty manner in which I’ve kept my team in this game. Also observe that I’m going to punch Theriot in the lip for denying me a gritty, gutty win.
The NHL draft is coming up. It looks like one of the worst in recent history. Naturally the Blackhawks have the first pick.
Why, 98? Cesar is a better fielder and at least as a good a hitter over the past two months. Theriot really should be benched.
Mike Fontenot has me.
Hockey???? Go **** yourself buddy!!
…is an NHL draft? Is that the cool feeling I get on my balls when the wind blows up my jorts? And what does that have to do with some Injuns scratching ’em for me?
Derecles is me.
Well, this is unexpected.
Ok Apex maybe you have a point. Well can you agree that they are both an upgrade from Jerry teh Lesser??
We have a pulse.
Fear me!
Hell yes.
That was great! My boss asked me what I was laughing so hard about!!
Now would be a good time for some Bukkake.
A’s just DFA’d crazy, uncle Milt. I hope Hendry takes a flyer as I do think he would look good in right.
Oh, well. He’s no Koyie Hill. That’s for sure. Which is good.
So, we should be up 11-5. Instead, we lose what, 7-5?
Milton Bradley has had (more) injury problems this year and struggled since his last DL stint.
Bradley makes Floyd look like Ripken
#116. So, you’re saying he’s a perfect fit for this team.
Theriot… you really, need to get a hit here.
will he steal 2nd?
G’uh.
Can I be downgraded any more? The Minor Complaint?
Puff, puff give, Ron! Puff, puff give!
Say hey!
Sure you can! To a Hunger Strike!
The Riot = Full robotic compliance to the man.
#124 “….make the day a little better!”
*cue weird dancing gas station janitor*
No, seriously. Me.
I’m now teh shoulder shrug
Another rally partially killed by me. I better see if Expedia has a good rate on a Chicago-Des Moines flight.
Back in use around 3rd. These are the 07 Cubs I know…
This is the part where they leave me in the game one inning too long.
I’ve seemed to misplaced by glasses.
Remember that PR TD I had on MNF back in like 89? Balls.
Really, not such a bad outing so far. In this ballpark? Against this, uh, lineup?
That’s how many people The Peaceful Sit-In’s left on base. 6.
I’m good for two more innings if you need me.
So Theriot is the new me? No way. I’d have at least a sac fly. Sacrifice was my M.O. female dogs.
ç§Âã¯æœÂ食ã®ãŸã‚Âã®ãŸã‚ÂãÂâ€Ã£Â¨ã‚’食ã¹るã“ã¨を好む。
You should’ve scored earlier when you had the chance because I’m not giving you jack shit now. Retards.
It’s Akinori Otsuka you dumbass.
it ain’t Iwo Jima no more neither.
We can’t hit them….
Oh, and dude: Slope is not the preferred nomenclature. Asian American, please.
But they piss on your carpet!!
FYTheriot! I’ve left 7 men on base today! Seven! And your sorry ass is batting two spots above me!
My favorite part of Lou’s press conference yesterday was what he said about Barrett. “He’s a good kid. Hard worker. A good player…uh…good hitter.”
Was Jerry the lesser part of the Sosa deal? AND Fotenot? AND Murton? Can anyone name all ofthe players in that deal?
Uh……Murton came from the Garciaparra deal. No math required there.
Murton came over with me for Alex Gonzalez and Frankie Beltran
In before lock!
Time to peg that yellow bastard pitching!!!
Am I too late to make a difference this year?
Please hire Dusty, MacPhail!
I’m in for the slant….
23 runners LOB today? wow
Strike Three.
When do the Rangers’ crappy pitchers come in?
MARK IT ZERO!
Here I come bitches!
Not so fast, 160.
I am the season.
I need to learn how to dive. I caught that and then my bellyflop made me drop it.
Nice rundown Bob!
why do in 10 innings what can be done in 9?
Bob fucked that rundown up, but Kenny was out.
Brown Spot Bob strikes again.
like I said…
That was a fun loss.
Ninth inning Soriano dives, catches a ball then drops it when he hits the ground for a single. Sac bunt. Lofton caught off third by Howry on a comebacker, but beats the throw back to second. Catalanotto hits one to right, Pagan dives, but the ball comes out when he hits the ground, Cubs lose.
Great stuff.
I’m in!! Kick rocks Quite Riot!!!
That loss is me. Again.
And for all effects, the season as well.
Nice of the Cubs to lose the series to the worst team in the AL.
Damn we suck…..
I rear my ugly head again.
Aren’t all losses fun? What else is there? I suppose witnessing history, like being no-hit, would be more funner.
I’m 0 for 3 with three strikeouts for my new team….you guys still love me though, right?
Didn’t we witness history yesterday?
#176: And I have a passed ball.
Don’t forget about me, Michael. You’ve got one of me, too.
Passed ball? I passed one of my balls last year after having it sqeezed out of my sack.
do i strike twice (i.e. jock jones trade talks..?)

The good news is, Peter Angelos is gving up final say over baseball matters. The bad news is, he’s given it to Andy MacPhail. The worse news is, Dusty is being considered to manage the Orioles. They already have KKKorey, can Jock be far behind? Cripes, they’re putting the 06 Cubs back together. . . What does it say to you when you look to the Cubs for help rebuilding your once great franchise? Should have waited another week, you could have gotten Ramon Hernandez and Kevin Millar for Barrett and Jock. Oh, and there will be an opening for a pitching coach soon, have Larry send his resume . . .
