oh so so so sorry Gary... wink
pretty cool that you know him though...

Oh I don't know him...he is just from our town...I did see him play but to be honest...I did not see "major league" in him.

Dodger day 2.

Wainwright going tonight.

Darn Mets and a grand slam in the 8th. Razz, you out there? Bet YOU enjoyed it!
Hopefully we can get this one tonight.

Hi everyone! Clyde told me to check you all out and it seems we have several teams represented. I am a transplanted gal having grown up in Notre Dame country but been a Cubs fan since I could talk. Yahoo, for the moment they are in first place but they gotta keep winning. Clyde's Cards are breathing down our necks with every game.

Dempster is back from the dl and pitches for the Cubbies tonight. Hopefully his toe won't cause him any problems nor the fact he has been off for 15 days. We still have Aaron Miles and Soto on the dl. Seems like we get one person off and another goes on.

Loved the walk off grand slam by Soriano last night. As Len Casper said, "We only needed one, but he gave us four!" I have said for 2 years they needed to take Soriano off as lead off man no matter what he wanted and put him around 5th. DH disagreed and said that though he was not lead off material, no other place to really put him. Well, his lousy batting this year finally got him slid down to fifth, took the pressure off being lead off and he is starting to hit again. I love being a woman and being right about baseball! :D

Cubs play the Stros tonight again at 7.

Hi Faye , good to see you over here even though you're a Cubs fan :)

Gary the radar does not look very good for tonight. There may be a few rain delays.

Diane you are supposed to win as well to advance on the LA guys.

Hi Faye! Welcome!

Clyde: Ya, I know. Drives me nuts that your guys worked hard to beat the Dodgers and we go ahead and lose too. How can you make up 8 games that way???

Welcome to the thread gma22, or should I call you Faye ?

Dice-K is speaking with the Japanese Press about how unhappy he is with RS shoulder program... Funny, press says they had a 6 hour mtg with Dice-K, he said nothing about being unhappy... This pitch count vs. throwing thru the pain thing is driving everyone crazy... Apparently talks with Halliday have heated up again.

We are retiring Jim Rice's #14 tonight ... big ceremony planned... but I'm wishy washy bout him..

Enjoy your games everyone... :corn:

Finally the game started.

getting plenty of hits in st. louie so far but very few run(s)...in 2 days

Oh for gosh sakes, Oakland scored 3 runs and tied it up in the 9th...

and scored 2 more runs in the 11th and won... crappola :(

Nice win.

I'm surprised by the final score as Billingsley was going so well.

What is up with Albert? His timing seems a bit off at the moment.

Good grief!

Can't a man go to bed when the game is a lopsided win anymore without some desperados driving it into the 11th inning?








[At least we can offer thanks to Tampa Bay for thumping the Yankees.]

Heaven help us, what a mess was made of that game last night. One of the bloopers of the year will probably play over and over. Kosuke Fukadome was up to bat, hit a ball back to the pitcher and the ball literally went between the buttons of his shirt and got stuck inside. Kosuke got a single!

Dempster pitched pretty dismally, but he just came off the dl, so I wasn't surprised. On top of that, we exhausted most of our bullpen the night before so they didn't help much either. We went to bed when it was 6-9.

Clyde: Back in first for the time being!
