2009-05-09 Cubs (Dempster) at Brewers (Gallardo): 6:05 PM CDT [Brewers win, 12-6]

[wibadgers23]

See you in a couple weeks Jorge. Geez.

[derflotr]

So we've got Chris Smith, Tim Dillard, and RJ Swindle chillin' out at AAA with Jorge Julio still on the roster. He isn't good and he has no role. Why keep him?

[ELCABALLO45]

Prince really excited about the Coffey timer http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

What is NSB?

www.northsidebaseball.com The Cubs equivalent of bf.net.

Hey, let's not drag bf.net down by using this website's name with the words "northsidebaseball.com" and "equivalent."

[thablingster]

It is kind of nice not being the division doormat anymore, but with that comes hypocritical criticism from other fanbases. Every team has a guy who just ridiculously stares at his home runs. Pujols does it, Lee and Berkman do it, pretty much every guy on the Cubs roster who can hit a home run does it, Edwin Encarnacion does it, I'm sure Adam LaRoche does it. It is baseball.

 

People are just sour we're not the division welcome mat anymore and frankly that is a good feeling.

[Mr QL]

come on

 

more than enough light

 

man up umps

[Schlitz001]

Uecker saying it's going to be "a little while" before the lights come back on.

[TabbertBB]

Why is it so cool for a bunch of the idiots to go wild with cheering as the lights go out?

[Ennder]

Nobody watches a HR more than Soriano so the fact that the Cub fans are on Braun so much about it is just funny.

[hawing]

Am I paranoid if my very first thought was that a disgruntled Cubs fan messed with the lighting somehow?

[TabbertBB]

Yes, it will be awhile because you just don't flip up the switch with those lights.

[fallingleaves]

I agree, its time for Julio to be DFA, maybe retirement.

[SeriesFinale]

I was at a game at County in '99 when the lights similarly went down. Just over a year later, I was in Atlanta, watching the Braves play, when the same thing happened (the PA played "The Night the Lights Went Out in Georgia," hardy har har). I get home and turn on the game and within five minutes, this happens.

 

Sorry guys!

[phxMILWfan]

My thought was a Brewer fan wanted to stop the bleeding for a while, slow down the Cubs momentum. Or just a power failure.

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

It's like my first trip to Miller Park the first year it was open. Lights out...game postponed. We came back the next day and watched with about 500 people...very surreal.

I was thinking Ramirez.

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

Hey hawing...you are right, my apologies. It should have said their "attempt" at bf.net.

 

My goodness mop up guys...you are going to waste Hoffman for tomorrow...uggh.

 

And my DTV just went out...what the heck is going on?!!?!

[SeriesFinale]

Great, now we're gonna have to use Trevor

 

The way the Cubs have been hitting since I got home, maybe I should back away from this one...

[PrinceEatMeat]

I'm pissed that we might have to use Hoffman in this game. That might make him unavailable tomorrow. Would be nice to get him the night off.

[SeriesFinale]

Yeah, put another couple on the board and leave Coffey in

 

Edit: I wonder if Macha might not leave him in anyway

[PrinceEatMeat]

What happened to me is that the HD broadcast was scheduled to end at 9:30 so it shut off. I had to switch to regular tv.

[logan82]

Hoffman warming up.

[Gobias Industries]

Julio needs to be DFA'd.

 

I went out in Milwaukee last Saturday, and it was me and 3 of my friends, and 3 other girls (all around 21). Around bar time, one of the girls had said she had to leave (very attractive, I might add), and I asked where she was going, and she replied, "oh, I'm gonna go hang out with Jorge Julio".

 

Point of the story you ask? Let's hope he doesn't get that chance tonight. Send him home Doug.

Just goes to show money and fame goes a long way--I'm sure Mr. Julio is a nice man, but he is not a looker.

 

Ouch--I feel bad for Fox here. This game has had all kinds of weirdness.

[thablingster]

I feel kind of bad for Chad Fox. People always used to joke about his arm being made out metal and being bionic back in the late '90s with all of the arm problems he had. It is amazing the guy is still around this long.
