You know, I was really hoping we'd seen the last of Lee and Ramirez for the day.

I have a feeling we'll get to the 11th. I don't like our chances of getting to the 12th, though.

to the 11th.

1-2-3 inning, I says!

I like what you says.....

Holy crap!

[JG1982]

Hey it worked..

I put gameday up and turned on Seinfeld on TBS..

1-2-3 for Franko..

Better score here with 3-4-5 for the Scubs in the 11th

You know what? We talk a lot of crap about Cesar, but there's no way I would want any other short stop we've had lately at that position today. He's been automatic every single time. I wouldn't want Eckstein, Ryan, Miles. None of them. He's been fantastic today. Thumbs up, Cesar.

If Howry gets through this inning without giving up a run, we all have witnessed a miracle of the highest order.
