this game stinks. maybe a new thread will change the team's luck. 4-0 dodgers in the bottom of the 5th.

Well, that was a quick change of luck

and Aaron miles looks really silly when he runs at top speed

Hey, Kershaw!

First base is open… mather has a lot of power… you don’t want to pitch to him, right?

i'm so pissed that my first first was taken away from me..

I feel like i got my first big league hit and the game was rained out before the 5th inning.

So I went to the game over lunch...

and sat with my buddy in my old season ticket seats in the left center bleachers and caught Manny’s 2-run bomb in the third.

Your boss

isn’t named Ed Rooney, by any chance?

bleacher folks were telling me to throw it back

my response was two-fold:
1. that is a cubs tradition
2. he is going to the hall of fame, no way i throw it back

now if we can just pull out a comeback , it will make for the perfect day.

why is everyone going out of the strikezone against a guy who obviously has control problems

I do not understand this approach

When the time comes for me to not be bothered by losing that is when I know it is time to retire my fandom

Well this game has sucked

Maybe this will inject some humor into everyone’s day.

Note: Gwinnett is about 30 minutes from my house. Hooray for people perpetuating stereotypes!!

Heart of the order

Tony will proclaim this a success, demote Perez and tell Wainwright to start getting ready to start!

Probably Mather

Not a pitcher, but still

Maybe Thompson

I'd actually be ok with that

Then when Izzy blows a sure Waino win, he’ll get bumped for Perez

"Mather's had a rough day...."

”...a couple of strikeouts and hit into a double play.”

Be honest, though, Dan. Izturis was the reason for that double play.
