Santo’s still haunted by Doug Davis, as he’s getting his anger up over Suppan, calling him a right-handed version of Davis.
And do the Cubs know what the outside corner means? DeRosa was looking like he was gonn a have a hissy fit. Hey jerkwad, get used to it–he’ll be calling it all game.

It feels so weird to hit the ball so hard the other way.
I better figure out why I’m doing that and stop it immediately.
Andy

How about Cliff’s throw there in the third? He spun to throw to second where he should have had Hardy by 10 feet, but he spun towards the wall and hit it with his arm as he reached back. Smooth.

Richie needs to bunt to third so Ryan Braun can throw the ball into the stands.
Pat Hughes

Ryan Braun was the fastest rookie to 20 homers. Also the fastest to 20 errors.
I’m taking a break here. This team’s already making my ass angry.
See you in the 6th inning.

Anyone check Lee’s stats since the All Star Break? Pretty crappy, I thought he got hot in the 2nd half. Some how he gets the free pass. I like him alot, but its time to be the man.
Rich Hill
on August 28, 2007 at 8:01 pm
So far I’m great. I couldn’t field a comebacker and that led to the Brewers first run, then I whiffed on three bunt attempts and couldn’t get runners to second and third with one out.
Apparently, I’m taking defense and offense lessons from Sean Marshall.
Andy
on August 28, 2007 at 8:03 pm
It was nice that Ned Yost shaved his head to show solidarity with this team, but he didnt’ adjust his hat size and he looks even more like Elmer Fudd than ever before.
That has to inspire confidence from the team.

Jock’s AB went by so fast I’m pretty sure he struck out on two strikes. It was like the ump looked at his second swing and said, “Why bother? You’re out!”

Rats, I missed another one. Just got home from watching the game with friends.
Holla back, and yes, go cubs go sounds so much better when we win win win.
I should stay away from the GameCasts more often. I went away and paid some bills, and then I saw wifey was on the computer. Had I been on the GameCast, I would have pointed out that the error by Linebrink was reminscent of Farnsworth’s spazz-tastic error on the weakly hit bouncer by Castillo (?) in Game 7 when the game was still close. I was a bit surprised to see a Farnsworth reference, though it wasn’t for the same play.
Nice win, ogdens. Now Big Z’s gotta get back on track. Go Cubs.
Z
on August 29, 2007 at 1:21 am
I’ll punch the final nail into the Brewers coffin tomorrow mang!
got salad?
I cleared waivers, so all you Geovany fans are gonna be pissed come Saturday.
Because third catchers are pretty important.
We have blanked a generation of Brewers in the first.
The visibility is poor tonight.
I’ll be late to the game tonight.
We got Apex.
Since I’m 0% baked, I’ll probably hit my usual insomnia-induced black out around the 5th or 6th inning. Not Good Times.
Why can’t we field?
Creeping into second place, little bit by the minute
Santo’s still haunted by Doug Davis, as he’s getting his anger up over Suppan, calling him a right-handed version of Davis.
And do the Cubs know what the outside corner means? DeRosa was looking like he was gonn a have a hissy fit. Hey jerkwad, get used to it–he’ll be calling it all game.
Why is all of us so slow today?
Apparently a lot of Web hosts got slammed by some hacker, the baseballthinkfactory.org site was slow today, too. I’ve got Karry Ling on it, so don’t fear.
It feels so weird to hit the ball so hard the other way.
I better figure out why I’m doing that and stop it immediately.
How about Cliff’s throw there in the third? He spun to throw to second where he should have had Hardy by 10 feet, but he spun towards the wall and hit it with his arm as he reached back. Smooth.
The last time I was in the NL the Brewers sucked. Nice to see nothing’s changed.
Why the fuck didn’t I do that Sunday?
Richie needs to bunt to third so Ryan Braun can throw the ball into the stands.
Ryan Braun was the fastest rookie to 20 homers. Also the fastest to 20 errors.
I think Cliffy’s been taking lessons from Jock, Andy. That throw had at least 9 hops in it.
You watch Rich Hill pathetically try to bunt and you realize one of the reasons this dipshit never gets any runs scored while he’s pitching.
Nice job Hill. It’s not like Suppan’s some soft-tossing pitcher that’s hard to bunt on. Oh wait–
Not off to a good start in Houston.
We can’t bunt either (except for Greg Maddux)
Woulda been 1-1 if Hill can get a fucking bunt down. I really hate that guy some times.
Nice baseball. Single. Single. Sac Bunt. Sac bunt. Sac Fly. 1-1.
Oops, that’s right, Rich Hill didn’t get his bunt down. So it’s still 1-0.
That won’t come back to haunt the Cubs.
Why did I type sac bunt twice?
Who knew I was so fucking hard to bunt on?
Neifi taught me the value of the two out bunt with a runner at third.
Watching the Cubs strand runners never gets old, because they find new ways to do it all the time.
I’m a couple inches off the plate tonight. You may want to adjust.
I’m taking a break here. This team’s already making my ass angry.
See you in the 6th inning.
Anyone check Lee’s stats since the All Star Break? Pretty crappy, I thought he got hot in the 2nd half. Some how he gets the free pass. I like him alot, but its time to be the man.
So far I’m great. I couldn’t field a comebacker and that led to the Brewers first run, then I whiffed on three bunt attempts and couldn’t get runners to second and third with one out.
Apparently, I’m taking defense and offense lessons from Sean Marshall.
It was nice that Ned Yost shaved his head to show solidarity with this team, but he didnt’ adjust his hat size and he looks even more like Elmer Fudd than ever before.
That has to inspire confidence from the team.
Am I white? Maybe i’m Camblanasian. I hear every Camblanasian gets a free copy of Tiger Woods 2008.
Nice shot of Bob Uecker in his radio booth talking on the phone.
Not just any phone, but true to top notch Wrigley Field technology a rotary princess phone.
“Sarah, can you get me an outside line?”

Hey Angel. I can help you with your inflamed colon, if you know what I mean!
I thought the motherfucking wind was blowing out of the motherfucking ballpark?
Len is asking if Bob saw the lunar eclipse? I want to know if I can see Uranus.
So Ned Yost is Elmer Fudd? And Phil Garner is Yosemite Sam? I sense a trend here.
The guy with the green shirt and the pink hat given out at All-Star Game workout night in 1990 is back behind home plate.
I’m glad to know that Ron’s menstrual cycles were affected by the lunar eclipse.
I’m The Brain. Or am I Pinky? I get them confused.
I’m off to the shitter. Back in a minute.
Jeff Suppan + wind blowing out at 20 mph= Cy Fuckin’ Young.
Why does Gerald Perry escape criticism for the pussification of this offense?
I just ate to try and stay awake through this game. I accidentally cooked turkey. Guh. TryptoGuh.
Are the Cubs having what I’m having, or what?
0-2 to Weeks and he hits him.
It’s like Hill is writing a book tonight on how to post a good ERA yet still lose half your games.
Did I just say that the next batter is Hardy Hart?
Don’t we lead the league in giving up hit by pitch on 0-2 counts?
Have you noticed how often Kendall loses the ball so he can’t throw to second? You don’t think he’s just trying to avoid another anemic six hop toss, do you?
I said Hardy Hart har. Or something.
Ugh.
wow, didnt think id get thrown in that count.
Bleeeeeehhhhhha!@*&^&%
None of the Cubs take a wide enough stance.
Obscenities cuss words and swears
Len is already thinking about playing for the tie.
“We know they’re at least going to have to score three.”
It does feel like 2004. Who is going to skip out the last day? My guess is Hank. The camera going to catch him pimmin’ hos at Shefield & Waveland.
I wonder if the Dos Equis Douchebag wants some Acapulco Taco Pie?
our goal is to make you hang yourself from hearing our voices.
I’m not in the lineup tonight in Houston. I’m in an airport bathroom stall kicking my neighbors in the left foot.
I’m greater than half baked.
I’m warming up.
I’m warming up.
Keep treading water guys, I’ll be back on Saturday!
please dont happen. a run would be really nice.
Nothing says championship like immediately answering a two run inning by your opponent by having the side struck out.
Don’t worry, everyone – I’ve turned my offensive production down to “suck” again.
Can someone explain why in the fuck minor league call-up vacation relief Rob Drake is doing the plate in a crucial late-season series?
Happy belated 92nd birthday to Doris Smedrick, who is now dead. Sorry.
We don’t hit the junk.
jason kendall
Should have let me swing away in the third, bitches.
Hooray! Like I’m going to do a damn thing with the bat.
Time to tie this bitch up.
i am vanquished
Lay off Jason. That’s my boy!
Somebody say bitches?
Put 20 on the black one.
Can’t bunt, but can apparently hit.
Found one!
…when D-Lee took a called third strike at the knees?
When we get behind by 10 runs is the game over, and who brought the orange slices?
I’m back. I had a nice stool.
Wow, Len’s already breaking out the, “this is a big series, but there’s still a month after this” stuff?
Is a white flag hanging out of the booth? It’s 3-1, right?
rich hill figured me out
If I field my position and don’t hit a guy with two strikes, I’m throwing a shutout.
If I field my position and don’t hit a guy with two strikes, I’m throwing a shutout.
Bill Hall is not good enough to non-chalant catches like that.
I have been a flaky bitch today…at least Desipio or WordPress or some shit. I hate technology sometimes.
That’s twice in three games that I haven’t run hard.
(Of course, that one was foul. Never mind.)
I told you, Karry is on it.
Karry. Karry! Wake up and check the Interwebs.
Cubs caught a break there, that “single” for Lee hit the side wall, should have been foul. Time for E-ramis to cash it in.
Wouldn’t it be crazy if in the fifth game of the World Series a ball like that decides the outcome?
Or hey, here’s a wild one, how about in the sixth game of the LCS a spastic fan slaps a foul ball and the home team completely collapses!
oh… we needed two RUNS… not OUTS… my bad
Did someone say they hate technology?
How are Carlos’ heat cramps tonight?
There’s how you bunt, homo.
…A-Ram hit into a double play?
It’s my first home game back. I’m planning on winning it with a walk-off grand slam in the 17th!
sonofabitch. why can’t we do that?
If that ball doesn’t hit the right-field wall, it’s fair. No room for a ball to land completely foul down there.
We should have been invented just to show bleacher sweater meat in 1080i. Hello!
I’m in the groove fellas.
Sorry I am late, forgot we were playing tonight. Time to get this party started.
Why in the hell am I singing in the 7th? I deserve to be booed.
How sad is it that the only guy who does the stretch any justice these days is a Brewers’ radio announcer?
I don’t like the Brewers, I hate everything about Wisconsin, but I love Bob Uecker. OK, by definition I can’t hate EVERYTHING about Wisconsin. I do enjoy the New Glarus Brewery, too.
They’re saying boo-urns, boo-urns!
I need a pep talk from Andy like the one I gave him a couple of weeks ago!
My radio feed has no commercials, only ballpark sounds, which is great.
The Wrigley crowd just re-sang the entire 7th inning stretch after Uecker was done.
Fuck Bob Uecker. How dare he fucking do that!!!!!!!!!!
Was I getting booed there?
What about Tomah?
Ouch! My elbow!
Cliff Floyd endorses this product
I like Ueck too. I also like SD. That’s two things from Wisco I like — the rest of the state can go swill beer while sittin’ in their deer stands while listening to Packers 24/7/365 year-round coverage.
I wouldn’t boo his stretch, I can’t say that I’d cheer though.
You pass through me if you’re driving from central Wisconsin to central Iowa. Yep.
Nice managing here by Ned. Suppan’s cruising. He goes 0-2 on Cliff, wastes one then barely hits him on the elbow and he’s out of the game and we’re in to the very much un-vaunted Brewers bullpen.
Muahahahahahahahaha.
Dear Desipio, forgive for I have sinned. I rooted for the Brewers once. In the 7th game. 1982. Can you forgive me?
Time for the pose.
Can I pose on a double?
bitches
We just gave up an 11-spot in the 8th. To the Devil Rays. Vive Dave Trembley!
I just kinda sorta woke up a little bit a lot.
Boggest fuckin’ hit of the season (to date).
Biggest fuckin’ hit of the season (to date).
Get ready Felix. I’m gonna be on second in a minute.
Again, sorry i was late. traffic on 90/94 was terrible.
Bloggest ******’ hit of the season (to date).
I’m walking Ward to get to this Soriano fella.
I’m gonna shove this up Ned’s ass.
Or, perhaps up my own.
Bornflakiest fuckin’ hit of the season (to date).
Me llamo Soriano
Time to get gritty.
GOSH!*&^!*&
Am I rooting for a wild pitch, yet?
Hello, I am Ryan Theriot.
doin it any way i can
How’s that for gritty? 4-3 Cubs.
Hah hah! Nice fielding Linebrink!
A long one here and they’ll be throwing babies out of the upper deck.
Hello, my name is Mr. Linebrink. Cubs up 4-3!
doin it any way i can
Psst! Derrek. Take a walk. I love the Brewers bullpen!
I didn’t practice taking a pitch in my time off. I’ve taken two pitches in four ABs.
How about a quarter of a homer? 5-3, Cubs.
Hi.
Isn’t it, Bob Uecker? Jerkoff.
Commence throwing the babies out of the upper deck.
How about the look on Kevin Mench’s face when he ran in on the single picked it up and saw that Felix had already rounded third?
Excellent use of the Kangaroo this inning.
I am the Brewers best friend lately.
I’m sure I’ve already said this above somewhere, but I think I should sing the stretch at Wrigley every day.
Remember when I used to be the Joey? I grew up into a spunky little shortstop. Someday Felix, you’ll be the spunky little centerfielder.
This commercial has become tiresome.
Am I:
a) Seth McLung’s ERA
b) Josh Hanckock’s blood alcohol level?
Let’s hope we keep laying down when we come to Wrigley this weekend like we are against The Fowl tonight.
On the bright side, the Cubs will not see Oswalt this weekend.
I will get hot again.
It’ll be worth it.
Right?
All Of The Above.
I’m gonna make this exciting.
The Cubs just used a defensive replacement (Felix) and the guy with the torn quad is still in the game.
I’ve gone to right where my intimidating cannon for an arm will come in handy.
Que?
I’m going with the all-Carlos pitching tomorrow. Zambrano for seven no-hit innings (with 147 pitches) and Marmot for two more no-hit innings.
Soriano just played that into a single. No big deal. Just brings the tying run to the plate…Ryan Braun.
Gulp.
I wonder if Prince can steal on us?
Nice hack, rook.
Mench is just the kind of shitty player the Cubs give up crippling bombs to.
Or hit.
You s’posed to wait until two strikes to hit the batter.
I’m pinch hitting for Bill Hall.
With a guy hitting .182 as a pinch hitter.
God I hope I don’t have to pitch. God I hope I don’t have to pitch.
When I get it over they can’t hit it.
If I had a change up, I could screw Gabe into the ground right now.
I just called for the off-speed pitch as well.
bob howry likes me!
Throw something, anything other than a fastball!

Too many foul balls.

One-speed Bob.

That at bat took so long that Gail Fischer is looking good right now.
I believe I’m completely fried.
wonder of lou had a shot for every foul ball
Gamesmanship, Lou.
Gamesmanship.
I am fucking crafty tonight!
Took my starter out after 82 pitches when he was rolling.
Pinch hit for Cubs’ killer Billy Hall.
Now I let a righty warm up to start the inning, only to bring in the lefty before he threw a pitch, even though the lefty had been warming up in the bullpen for about 10 minutes.
I’ll take you up on that, #194.
First place in the “Swingin’ With Len and Bob” is a round of golf with them.
Second place is two rounds of golf with them.
Oh, I kill me.
Third place involves a fishbowl, house keys and lots of regret.
Nice of Ned to bring in the lefty for no reason so I could make my home debut.
I hit the ball hard a lot.
Foul, mostly.
Then I swing and miss.
I’ve had a hit for every foul ball.
Kind of like that.
Monroe struck out then started to walk to the first base dugout.
