5/18 Sox (Buehrle) v Cubs (Lilly) 1:20CT WGN & WGN Radio

[illiniguy]

two hitters later Ramirez still at 2B. This is the cubs in a nutshell.

[Allroy]

Another wasted leadoff double. Gotta love it. This team sucks.

[Derwood]

who pitches tomorrow? Marquis?

 

Does it really matter? The results are all the same anyways.

 

i won't be able to watch anyways. Game on FOX + Work = No game for Me

[UMFan83]

I want the Bulls back.

[UMFan83]

I was one of the most pessimistic fans out there predicting this season (78 wins), and even I'm disappointed at how bad they've been.

[Flames24Rulz]

I go downstairs for a couple minutes after Ramirez's double and I see that we get 3 quick outs after that.

 

How predictable.

[C.C.]

Another wasted leadoff double. Gotta love it. This team sucks.

 

I just love how other teams take advantage of opportunities and we waste them.

[Handlebar McSkullet]

Remember the days when the Cubs lead the league in HR? Remember Lee/Sosa/ARam/Alou? I miss those days

 

What did that get them?

89 wins. After going to the NLCS.

 

LOL, yeah, that's all... no postseason.

 

I will gladly take 89 wins this season, thanks

 

AND you all know the offense wasnt the reason they didnt go to the playoffs that year..

 

His name is Latroy Hawkins... and I hate him.

89 wins wasn't the point though... I'm just talking about leading the league in homers and also not going to the postseason.

You don't accidentally not win a title for 99 years.

Fox game...I guess that means that I'll probably get the BoSox or Yanks.

Well since we decided to go in a different route we have been terrible. You know top ten pick in the draft bad. But, yeah as cubs fans we should be pissed about only winning 89 games.

[Derwood]

Erstad sucks. What a joke that he's won 3 gold gloves

That was part of it but the offense slumped down the stretch too. The Cubs lost some heartbreakers in the last 2 weeks of that season; specifically against Cincy and the Mets. IIRC, Prior lost a 1-0 game down the stretch. Anyway, it was the relief pitching and the offense that failed at the end.

[Handlebar McSkullet]

btw... upon reflection, alou's numbers were amazing for us.

[rynefan]

I grew up and still live in the Chicago suburbs, and I remember when GN was a CUBS station. I hate sharing.

No he lost a 2-1 game. He gave up a solo homer to Kearns in the ninth to tie it.

If anyone would please do PBP.. that would be much appreciated. Public place, CBS sportsline doesnt work well.

[rynefan]

Car commercial now, on GN, Honda (how's that for play by play)

Yup, that's right! The hitters sucked late in the season. It was painful to watch.

Izturis continues with the 1st pitch swinging.

In that deciding game, Baker decided not to use Hawkins as his closer. He had Dempster start the 9th, then brought in Hawkins with 2 men on. It was a horrible move. Had Hawkins started the inning, the outcome would likely have been different.

 

Baker was the reason.
