If you hear random pockets of booing for seemingly no reason, it's because all the Cubs fans here are starting chants and the boos are an attempt to drown them out

Also Bauer sure made that inning drone on and on :v:

Start a "Boo-ez" chant and see if anyone joins in.

Not sure what you're talking about, guess the joke went over my head.

Rick Ankiel was an incredibly hyped Cardinals pitching prospect. He lived up to the hype for the most part. When he was called on to start Game One of the 2000 NLDS opposite Greg Maddux he was leading 6-0 in the third inning until he threw 5 wild pitches and couldn't get out of the inning. In his next start in G2 of the NLCS he threw 5 wild pitches in 20 pitches total before being pulled. His pitching never recovered.

Why yuh you you gotta say this? :negative:

I had a long day in court and am exhausted. I know I can't last the whole game but have to at least stay up for the end of the no-hit bid. There're only been two no-hitters in postseason history, right?

E: I also have court tomorrow.

I accept my shame. I think to try to rejigger the offense, I'm going to donate $20 per Cubs dinger during the series to... something. I'll figure it out by tomorrow. Maybe JDRF for Ron.

Perfect. Thanks to both the pancakes.

You're welcome. Years ago when I was temporarily back in my hometown I used to lift in a shed in the country that was heated by one of those. It was pretty impressively white trash. My hometown also has boxing classes in the basement of the county lockup, does schoolbus demolition derbies and every year has a boxing match between Jesus and the Easter Bunny. Anyone driving down from Chicago to St. Louis should stop by sometime and just gape in awe. This has been your Illinois south of I-80 chat for the thread.
