Nomar hitting .370 as a Cub

 

[Joe]

nomar is in the final stage of his plan to embaress the red sox organization.

and is maddux on the cubs bench or in the clubhouse? he better be on that bench.

 

[Cubsfan23]

300!!!

 

[Eminem]

clubhouse

he never was a showey guy. If that was Sosa getting some milestone he'd be making sure every camera was on him.

 

[Mrbob]

 

[Meier]

Maddux has always been a classy guy so congrats to him.

 

[speshylives]

Have to admit, Nomar hitting a little nubber up the 1st base line that goes through the legs of steady Dough Meintkiewitz, scoring a game tying / winning run in the World Series would probably be the greatest thing ever. Theo's head would be sitting on a pole somewhere.

There wouldn't be enough bridge space to jump from nor bullets to shot themselves with for the people of New England.

Eventually, it'll all be Steinbrenner and the Evil Empire's fault for greasing the ball / paying off Meintkiewitz/ etc.

 

[Lathentar]

2 astros thrown out in 3 innings!?

Also, did Beltran just steal second AND third THEN SCORE ON A WILD PITCH!?

 

[Joe]

if the yanks dont win the world series i want the cubs to beat the red sox with nomar having a huge season. that would be almost as great.

 

[Desperado]

OMFG...ALEX GONZALEZ OF ALL PEOPLE JUST HIT A HOMER AGAINST US...AAHHH!H#@$H@#$!@#$!@#$#%^Y$&^&%$

God hates the Astros. =(

losing 8-3 to the EXPOS.

 

[Cubsfan23]

Indians take over 2nd place

ROFLMAO
The Nomar trade just got ten thousand times better.

 

[Desperado]

Wow. I didn't think it could get any worse...

Our hitting=pathetic
Our fielding=pathetic
Our starting pitching=crippled
Our bullpen=beyond pathetic

all this after a 21-11 start...sigh.

 

[Mrbob]

Trust the Garner touch.

Pitt jumped on top of SD 2-0 in the first! Can it hold up?

 

[Desperado]

Not even someone like Bobby Cox or LaRussa could save this team. Nobody could.

 

[Mrbob]

You need Dustiny.

 

[Scoobert]

Run, run, run!

Craig Counsell hahaha!! Oh that was funny. I've never seen something so funny, ever! All the players were cracking up. I hope they show it on Sportscenter. Everyone has to check out the Marlins/Brewers highlights. If they show the "Run!" chant, you won't ever forget it.

LOL

 

[Mrbob]

Hahaha. I saw that play on TV. I thought the funniest part was that the 3rd base coach didn't even stop him though the ball was foul before counsel rounded 2nd base lol! I thought Wendall Kim was there for a moment.

 

[Meier]

Man.. Shawn Green was looking good after the break but he's back to his shitty self. Too bad his contract doesnt end until 2006

Woo! Choi with his first big hit as a Dodger.. picks up Green's lousy ass!

Fuk that bastard cant do shit with men on base! Leave Choi at first and take Green out and slide over Bradley to right with Finley in center.

 

[Meier]

I'm glad the Dodgers are up by 4 runs so Perez can get a shot at a complete game.

 

[Mrbob]

Good. The Dodgers are gonna help out the Cubbies by beating Phildelphia. Now I just need the Pirates to hold on against San Diego (Pirates up 2-1 in the 7th).

Wells is walking the tightrope tonight. Given up 2 runs on 10 hits in seven innings.

 

[Scoobert]

All-Star catcher Paul LoDuca traded to Florida by the Los Angeles Dodgers on July 30, apparently wont be just a short term solution for the marlins. LoDuca said Friday that the owner Jeffrey Loria told him last weekend the marlins want to atleast sign him through next year. LoDuca, 32, is making $4.1 million this year and could double that through arbitration next year. The Marlins have 2 cost saving options in either trading LoDuca after the season or not tendering him a contract, which would allow him to be a Free agent. But LoDuca is under the impression he'll be playing for the marlins in 2005. "It was awesome," LoDuca said of his conversation with Loria. "They have some great arms and I want to be a part of that."

Loria, make it happen!

 

[Meier]

Bah, Greenie hits a meaningless homerun. MF cant do anything with RISP and when we need him to produce but once we're up 4-0 he hits one out. Come on Werth, back to back!

 

[Meier]

Damn, Perez gets lifted since we loaded the bases. I wanted to see him hit a grand slam! Come on Finley.. get your first jack in Dodger blue!

 

[J2 Cool]

Congratulations to Maddux on 300. Such a classy guy. Especially the way he came out of today's game. After giving up 2 hits to start the 6th inning, Rothschild comes out and asks him if he could finish up this inning and Maddux flatly said no, I can't. He came out of the game and the damage was minimized. I dont know how many times Ive seen Wood stubbornly go on when he had nothing left. Maddux truly knows his role as a starting pitcher. To pitch for as long as you can be effective and give it to the bullpen. I think him a bigger man for being able to with the win for the team in mind today and not any personal acolade. Though I expected no less from him. So congrats to you Greg Maddux on your much deserved 300th win.

 

[Joe]

shoulder...

to knees...

and in there for a strike at 52mph

thats duque doing a "quick pitch" (no windup). as you can see delgado is in mid-practice swing.

DAMN DUQUE YOU SO FILTHY

 

[rc213]

Ishii has been moved to the bullpen and have moved Wilson Alvarez to the starting rotation. Nomo isnt to far from returning either. Glad to see Perez finally get some run support, he would probably be well over 10 wins had he gotten it before.

[MASB]

Congrats to Greg Maddux! The only way it would have been better (for me), was if he had done it as a Brave.

 

[reggieandTFE]

Haha, that's awesome what El Duque did. Pitchers used to do shit like that all the time in the early part of the century. An "eephus" is an awesome name for a pitch too I used to throw something like that as well and I called it the "bender"; too bad it was all I could throw for strikes.

 

[Rodriguez]

What what?

Bernie with the Bases loaded single, driving in 2 runs.

And today, Bernie hits a 1st inning grand slam off Batista.

 

[Mrbob]

Hahah el duque is fun to watch. He reminds me of a playground pitcher on the mound.

 

[Joe]

sheffield can't be human.

 

[Joe]

the yankees announcer just said he saw early plans of the new yankee stadium and said that they got the look of the OLD yankees stadium to the "T" inside and out. he also said the existing stadium will REMAIN as part shrine, part museum, part little league field.

 

[speshylives]

I have to make sure to call Bernie washed up every time he hits a slump.

I think he heard me.

 

[Rodriguez]

That's 4 straight games in which a Yankee starter has gone 8 innings. Great stuff.

8/5- Brown 8 IP, 4 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 7 SO, 107 PIT
8/6- Vazquez 8 IP, 6 H, 3 R, 0 BB, 3 SO, 92 PIT
8/7- Hernandez 8 IP, 5 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 7 SO, 104 PIT
8/8- Lieber 8 IP, 4 H, 2 R, 1 BB, 5 SO, 107 PIT

 

[Joe]

this team is finally starting to fire on all pistons and the starting pitching is finally coming together.

and god i hope the rangers dont die off the rest of the season. SOMEONE has to put up a fight for the wildcard. hopefully the angels can keep it together.

 

[Desperado]

Alex Gonzalez just homered off of Miceli. Oh my God.

EDIT: Make that back-to-back HRs for the Expos. AAAAAAARRRGHHH

 

[Mrbob]

Lol Stros about to drop two straight at home to the Expos.

 

[Cubsfan23]

Gonzo is on fire!

Brad Penny looks to be out for the year. What a bad trade

 

[Wolfy]

Maddux and Glavine are so fucking awesome.

 

[Meier]

Penny Damn, this sucks..

 

[Joe]

first the yankees force pat hengten into retirement now they got carlos tosca fired.

http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=1855126

 

[Desperado]

Penny Damn, this sucks..

At least your team is winning and has more than 2/5ths of a rotation...

 

[Fifty]

http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=1855126

I don't like Tosca, but it's a shame our season turned out like this. The Yankees didn't force shit...We haven't played well all season, and injuries have just killed us.

 

[Joe]

yeah i know i was just messing around

 

[Matrix]

``They're probably glad to see us,'' catcher Brad Ausmus said. ``It's something different every day. You can't point your finger at anyone. It's every facet of the game. We're not out of it by any stretch, but we're going to have to play our rears off.''"

Dartmouth College Graduate my ass...fucking douche.

 

[Eminem]

going to a game when your team wins with a walk off hit is the best thing ever. 3rd sox game i've been to this year where it happened.

 

[Meier]

Come on Wood and the Cubs!

 

[Catchpenny]

Where did you hear Penny was out for the year? Last I heard they were going to have an MRI on Monday.
