All Hail Ted.
As you can probably guess from the photo, Ted Lilly Fan Club won LOHO's 2009 Fantasy Baseball League.
This photo was the price he exacted for his victory.
Actually, it works out great for me, because it just so happens that Ted (12-8. 3,02) will pitch the first game for the Cubs today. He'll be taking on Charlie Morton (4-9, 5.01), who I kind of vaguely remember from other beat downs the Cubs gave the Pirates this season.
Hey, if you missed the big announcement post below, LOHO's postseason loyalty is up for auction on Ebay. Highest bidder gets to pick our post-season team. If there's a team you really, really, REALLY want us to cheer for, you'd better get busy promoting this auction to said team's fans! Only 6 days left!
Today's lineup for game 1: theriot, fukudome, baker (3b), hufflepuff (1b), fox (lf), scales (rf), soto, blanco, lilly.
Game time is 1:05 pm on WGN. Game two is at 7:05 on CSN+.
Let's enjoy this last week. . . together.

That might be the worst lineup ever. Are we the Pirates?
Doc said:
no...if we were the pirates, Kevin Hart would be pitching for us today.

Fear the Turtle!
gravedigger said:
The Indians fired their manager today.
JulieDiCaro said:
which probably made milty very happy.
Doc said:
nope...nothing makes him happy. He's habitually unhappy.
flyball said:
stop talking about yourself in the third person
Doc said:
ok...you've got me there. Anyone who knows me would probably say I'm habitually unhappy as well. That's why I can recognize other people who are the same way.

Ip sam bam!
JulieDiCaro said:
have you realize that you've devolved into just yelling things that make no sense?
i very rarely have any idea what you're talking about anymore.
thisyearcub said:
Ditto
JulieDiCaro said:
Touche, Pussycat.
gravedigger said:
Hee.
flyball said:
I know they are out, but I'm still happy there is afternoon baseball today

Julie-
Great Seinfeld reference on the previous post. (orgy friends)...
also, love the idea about the new team.....
JulieDiCaro said:
thanks for GETTING the Seinfeld reference. everyone else here stinks at Seinfeld.
It's going to be a really fun postseason, I promise!
gravedigger said:
Seinfeld was a funny show but... I don't obsess over it like you.
JulieDiCaro said:
you haven't seen it enough.
gravedigger said:
What? I've seen each episode at least twice. Granted, a lot when I was a bit younger and don't really remember them all. It was a great show. But I have better things to do with my time than memorize quotes from a show. Thigns like post on your blog.
Doc said:
Would you guys hurt me if I said I really don't like Seinfeld very much?
JulieDiCaro said:
i wouldn't let you be my latex salesman, i'll put it that way.
flyball said:
I just don't really care about it, I don't dislike it, if its on I don't complain, I just don't really care
Doc said:
2 walks already in the first inning...
Trade Lilly.
JulieDiCaro said:
TLFC probably jinxed him with the photoshop job.
JulieDiCaro said:
I'm not in front of the TV; let me know when Garrett Jones is up so I can go watch.
JulieDiCaro said:
4-0 Pirates in the 2nd?
YIKES.
Wha happen?
JulieDiCaro said:
GAH--throwing error by Jake Fox.
For all of you asking why the Cubs don't play Fox more, THAT is why they don't play him more. Increased playing time for him can only lead to reduced value on the trade market.
thisyearcub said:
THis looks like a PNC crowd.
JulieDiCaro said:
BREAKING NEWS: Paul Sullivan is tweeting that he was ejected from the Bleachers. More on this story as news becomes available.
gravedigger said:
Can he be ejected from Chicago? And from the media? And maybe from this planet?
gravedigger said:
BTW, thanks for scaring me, I thought there was a real story there.
Maim said:
Maybe he forgot Milty was gone and was yelling racial slurs.
(Sorry.)
JulieDiCaro said:
@ Bobby Scales.
Poor Bobby.
gravedigger said:
Wow. This team sucks. Can't wait to be a fan of a different team.
BTW, when it is all over, do we HAVE to return to being a Cubs blog?
Doc said:
That's not a bad idea...screw this team.
JulieDiCaro said:
Hey--you people were supposed to TELL ME when Garrett Jones is up!
Doc said:
Like we listen to you.
gravedigger said:
yyyyyyyyeeawn
Doc said:
It's not a big deal at this point of the season...we've already clinched the division and have home field advantage throughout the playoffs, so this game really doesn't have that much importance, right?
JulieDiCaro said:
right!
i mean, unless you consider that this is pretty much our team for next year, too.
JulieDiCaro said:
Wow--this just came in via Twitter:
A friend just texted me saying fans are asked at Wrigley to move down into the front rows for the WGN broadcast. Sad.
I can't ever remember anything like that happening.
gravedigger said:
Bwahahaha
flyball said:
the new(ish) basketball arena at my school has the first 10-15 rows all the way around for students only, the place is packed regardless, but they like the option of being able to have cameras from anywhere on the court catching the crazy fans and the students are definitely loud and active
Doc said:
That is a first that I've heard.
Not surprising, I suppose.
Maim said:
Silvy said there were tickets to the game on StubHub for $2.
Doc said:
what is StubHub's commission on a $2 ticket?
Dmband said:
Wait, so Sullivan got booted? Is that true? And they asked fans to move down in the stands...AHAHAHAHAHA! thats embarassing.
Julie-
I assume you saw that Curb is doing somewhat of a Seinfeld reunion show...that should be pretty good..
Dmband said:
Oh and I think why Seinfeld holds up so well, is because you can literally quote something from that show in nearly every situation.
(see orgy friends)
JulieDiCaro said:
exactly.
my circle of friends and i literally quote that show every single day. there's a quote for every situation.
flyball said:
this game is a little less fun than I hoped, Andy 3.0 and Dave Otto have only slightly more invested than we do
JulieDiCaro said:
I swear, I'm the only person who LIKES Dave Otto. I think he's funny.
Doc said:
you would!
flyball said:
I didn't say anything anti, him and Judd were telling random stories, you could definitely tell the game wasn't an overly important one
flyball said:
wasn't anything against him, they were telling random stories and you could just tell this game is not an overly important one
JulieDiCaro said:
no, i know. i just see people complaining about otto all the time. I think he's got a very subtle wit that cracks me up.
Dmband said:

score?
Doc said:
a bajillioin to nothing.

4-0 bottom 6

Dear Ryan Theriot:
STOP FUCKING RUNNING. YOU ARE NOT A BASESTEALER. I'D RATHER GIVE LIEUTENANT DAN THE GREEN LIGHT TO STEAL RATHER THAN YOUR SORRY ASS

oog of ulams said:
oog rather give light to mammoth!
JulieDiCaro said:
I said this yesterday. I would pinch run David Wells for Theriot. At least you he knows how to stand on a base.
Bill80 said:
My favorite comment so far reading the site today.
Dmband said:
sorry, having a hard time posting today...
it just keeps saying 'posting' for 8 1/2 hours.
JulieDiCaro said:
me too.
trying hitting "refresh" right after you post.
Dmband said:
im still laughing about the LIEUTENANT DAN comment.
JulieDiCaro said:
I swear to God, FB is RUINING my computer. Has there ever been a buggier site? I can't imagine there has.
flyball said:
until I got a little further into your comment I was thinking "what did I do?
JulieDiCaro said:
heh.
JulieDiCaro said:
seriously? we can't score a run off Charlie Morton?
Interesting.
flyball said:
for today this actually does seem possible
