    Hahaha...that would fuck over the astros, but I'd be for it.


    I mean I read that Minute Maid is fine, but the rest of the city looks pretty messy. I can't imagine they'd have it completely cleaned up by tomorrow or Monday.

    It does and I got my tickets for tonights game at Wrigley North!! GO CUBS!!!

    A couple of weeks ago Sabathia "almost" had a no-hitter himself.

    Congrats to Zambrano! he was 1-walk away from a perfect game.

    Awesome man, that would have been so crazy.

    I was thinking last night how great it must have been for fans, buying tickets last minute, "neutral" site, and you get a fucking no hitter!
  • where all those Brewers fans that were talking smack back in April and then in the summer when you picked up Sabathia???

    happy hunting (for a new manager)!

    geez, and Lilly took a no hitter into the 7th today ...

    If Zambrano is indeed healthy ... with Lilly and Dempster and the bullpen, they'll be a force in the playoffs. Pitching wins in the playoffs.

    Cubs v Red Sox ... I'm feelin' it.

    It was unreal, really started setting in today that I saw a no hitter. Just an unreal experience. Was there again today. Lilly was outstanding. 18 innings and just 1 hit in two games!! The offense looks like it's back too. Magic number 6!! Sweep the Brewers and it's all over!! I'll be there Wed. can't wait!!!!

    That is awesome that you got that. I always think of that when I get to see Z pitch. I used to think that way when Kerry Wood was starting.

    I will be there Wed and Saturday. I wish they could clinch on WED night because I think Saturday they will have it done by then. I think Friday will be the day unless the Brewers get there head out of their asses. Figure 2 out of 3 against MILW to bring it to 2 and win Friday and Celebrate when the Brewers lose Friday night.

    Where is that Brewer fan?

    Tough L yesterday, wish they could have looked better since I was there. On a positive note when I walked in to Murphy's before the game they were playing, "Someday We'll Go All the Way" thought that was pretty cool.

    YESSSSSSSSSS!!!! What a win, magic number 2!!! Soto is the man. 4 runs with 2 outs in the 9th, then get out of a no out 2nd and 3rd jam in the top of 12. Unreal. The Brewers completely collapsed that game like they have been all season. How fitting I hop on here after the game and see Eddie's song will be available soon. "Someday we'll go all the way"!!!!

    do you need it? PM me if you don't already have it. Sorry man, I should have asked you about it awhile ago.

    And yeah, that was so money in the 12th. 2nd and 3rd no outs, and they don't score a damn run. BTW, walking Soriano after he looked that terrible the previous few ABs, all I can say is, THANKS!
  • PJPATPJPAT Posts: 399
    I watched the game on replay at it was great the 2nd time.

    Braun really blew the 3rd out in the 9th. He was almost on the warning track and did not look aggresive going after Arams double. Could have been an error IMO.

    Geo rocks. We are blessed with this rookie.

    That Cubs song gives me chills. I love the line about crying and being covered with beer. Its gonna happen.

    Go Cubs Go!

    I love that line too!

    Geo deserves at least a few MVP votes. He's done way too much offensively and defensively, for a catcher, let alone a rookie, to get totally overlooked. Without him the Cubs would be FUCKED.
