Witnesses may remember that Cliff Floyd’s game winning single in the ninth last night bounced quite a few times and probably only made it to right field because the infield was playing way in, but all history will remind us is that in his first game back after the death of his dad, Cliff Floyd was the balls in a very unlikely five run ninth inning rally for the victorious, and still–first place Cubs.
Sometimes good things happen to good people. Sometimes those things happen after a really bad thing.
Thanks to Cliff the Cubs are still in the pole position in a 38 game sprint to the playoffs. Wins like last night’s put a little bit of an extra hop in everybody’s step.
Just how big is Andy Dolan that I can keep getting filled with files?
What–that’s it? Three paragraphs?
Worst. Dose. Ever.
Feeling hopeless for eight innings while the two teams you’re fighting it out with are closing out wins was a pretty low feeling. Then in five minutes it all turned around. That is why we love/hate baseball.
It’s nice to stay up late for the West Coast games and get rewarded with a victory. Going to bed angry sucks.
Waking up Angry is worse. Mostly, I try to let her sleep.
I’ve got a million of ’em!
My excel sheet confirms Andy’s assertion that there are 38 games remaining. Coincidentally, the Cub’s magic number is also 38.
The countdown’s on … … 4-3-2-1
Out of sheer boredom I just clicked the “Advertise with Desipio” link. I really, really regret that. I have been scarred for life.
went last night…going tonight too. look for me. I’ll be wearing my original print “Pride of the Cubbies” 69 jersey
When are you gonna wake up my Hank White-O-Meter?
Gay story: when the Cubs win, I wake up with Steve Goodman’s Go Cubs Go in my head, Happened today when I hit the shower. That’s a hell of a feeling.
That happens to me, too. Been singing it all day.
“They’ve got the power, they’ve got the speed … to be the best in the National League.”
THE CARDINALS WON AGAIN, HERE THEY COME, STUPID OGDENS!!!!!!!!!
Im pretty sure the “Whos The Balls” section should be brought back entirely for my contributions the past 2 days.
You missed the boat with Fat Kangaroo last week so here’s your chance to redeem yourselves.
Seriously, im not gonna ask again. Pull my meter out of Sleepy (which should have been transferred to “Coma”) status and move it to something more fitting.
The status “Greasy Mullet Zombie” would be fitting and not at all bigoted towards my ethnicity or change in my dead or alive status*
*just reminded myself that I need to change the Organ Donor section on my drivers license to NO. Goes to show you the sad state of affairs this world has come to when a guy goes on the DL for half a year and they automatically assume that it’s “okay” to start harvesting parts to reassemble Prior, Wood, A-Ram, D-Lee, Soriano, and for some reason Nomar.
Also, time to find a new dumbass du jour.
Time to change the dumbass (Rex Grossman perhaps?), the “How are things going” (We don’t exactly “suck again”) and the Hank White-O-Meter (suicidal?).
Get off your ass Dolan! Or get Sad Kermit to do it!
Is this me?
Christ, Dolan, you’re just a flipflopper. We all splooge at your anger but then you come back with this.
Either we suck or we don’t — make up your mind damn it!
