Same old, same old. If Lilly can homer, he's got a chance to win today.

We will see how things go today, the Twins are pretty banged up.

She was horrible!

She was horrible!

I didn't hear it, but in her defense, she is/was singing in front of 40 thousand people.

 

[TarHeelHawk]

That sound you just heard was Cubs fans all over the country turning off their tvs.

love watching the twins....no other team scores runs the way we do....steal third. then bunt the run in by bunting up the first base line. all with 2 outs.

Sure. No other team in the history of the game has scored a run in such a fashion. LaRussa's teams do it all the time, and the Cubs have pulled off the exact same thing a couple of times this year.

Or maybe you've never seen a suicide squeeze before.

Same old, same old. If Lilly can homer four times, he's got a chance to win today.

I saw Walt Terrell do three for the Mets against us in 1983, when I didn't know how rare homers for pitchers are. If that guy can do three, Ted can do four.

Didn't look like a suicide to me. GoGo broke on contact.

 

[Ficklone02]

just not something you see done often at all in the american league tuff guy.

 

[TarHeelHawk]

I'm wondering how the Cubs will **** this chance up. All Fontenot needed was a ground ball to the right side; this early in the game the Twins would give up the run for the out.

 

[TarHeelHawk]

I'll be damned; some good situational hitting. It's almost as if Theriot went up there with a plan or something.

 

[Ficklone02]

too bad we got kubel out there today....if thats cuddy, lee is meat at the plate.

Hey We SCored!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's sad that the Cubs had guys on 2nd and 3rd with 0 outs, scored 1 run in the inning, and I consider the inning an offensive success.

If Mark Buehrle could do it today, anyone can.

I know what you mean. But we did score, so that's nice.

At this point, you just have to be happy that they got 1. Be honest, you were expecting them to screw that up somehow.

Baby steps.

Buerhle got a homer today?
