The password is..."bullpen"


Let's all play PASSWORD!

I say: "rancid". You say: "meat"?
I say: "blow". You say: "job"?
I say: "worthless". You exclaim: "Cubs bullpen"!

After the offense was yo-yoing the entire game - coming up with clutch hit after clutch hit for the first time this season (or at least since Rami went down), the Little 'Pen of Horrors combined to give up three runs in their four innings - the most tragic being from the ninth inning walkoff hit off [Whoop] AssCanio courtesy of a rookie that hits .188. (I guess it's probably higher now, huh?)

While the pitching isn’t really worth writing about (except for Sean Marshall, who is the only guy in the bullpen that hasn’t received a death threat this week), lost in the…um, loss is the offense. Fonzy was 2-4, with a walk, scored two runs and hit two ribbies in. The Riot nearly matched it, also 2-4 with a walk and two ribbies. Andy White was 2-4 too! D-Lee had a timely hit with two ribbies, MB and Fuke each had a hit…and while Farney reached on an error, he scored a run in some amazing, suck-it-Ozzie kind of way.


The heat of the Cell Hell is nothing against the heat of the Big Z.

Oh yes, our beloved bullpen, seems like the old "hate the bullpen" days are back.
I saw most of the game.
I spent Friday night in the hospital. The CAT scan revealed that my abdominal muscle "strain" was actually my appendix that had ruptured......what a long night.
No surgery as of yet.

OMG Blue! You've been dealing with the "strain" for at least a month now, haven't you? I was under the impression that an uncaught ruptured appendix was um, very, very serious. Glad they finally figured it out before you died. No surgery yet though?
