Well, he did hit it a couple of yards...

Got to get it out of the infield first.

[Yeti]

[Master Shake]

Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

 

If I was Maddux, I'd grab a bat and whomp everyone.

Incredible.

 

I don't even care if the Cubs have 40 wins going into September, it can't get any worse than this.

 

Dusty MUST be fired. NOW.

Fixed.

[InconspicuousZ28]

Another day, another loss. Sigh.

[Master Shake]

Forgive my language, but this is total .

No, just Dusty and Jones. Especially Dusty.

[stitchface]

poor dempster. he has to feel absolutely awful. and I am willing to bet he doesn't blame anyone else.

[Monco]

Cubs go out with a whimper

[cheapseats]

dempster wants dusty fired.

Yes, there could be a silver lining.

 

...yeah right!

 

Dusty didn't give up the 3-run homer. We should be booing Dempster.

 

26 saves in a row until today.Booing him would be ridiculous.

 

It's OK to boo Latroy but not Dempster. I'd hate to play the race card, but...

[Balsa]

Jacque Jones loses this game for us because he CAN'T FRIGGIN' HIT A CUTOFF MAN EVEN WHEN ITS A ROUTINE SINGLE. #@$#ing sonuva#$%^#.

 

@#$$#@$#@%#@$%#@@%@#

[CubinNY]

Time to go mow the lawn. I think I will stick my foot under the blade. I would be much more fun then living and dying with every Cub game.

[ZMovieman]

This is the first game that Dempster has blown that the Cubs have actually lost as our closer. His first save attempt against the Mets he blew, but we won it in extras. The only other blown save was against the Cardinals, but Perez hit the grand slam in the 10th to win it.

[Outshined_One]

Boy, I bet Kerry Wood is really going to spark this team when he comes back!!!!!!!!1

 

Good Lord is this team awful.

You have GOT to be kidding me. Please tell me you're being facetious.

[Drew Doughty]

did anyone else turn off/walk away from the game when they saw Mabry standing at the plate? Or were you already gone after the Piazza home run. Or maybe after the Jones throw. Or maybe after the lineups were announced and you saw that Murton & Barrett were sitting.

[cheapseats]

Having all that extra speed in the lineup did score us three runs today. Three runs should be more than enough to win a game.
