Getting in on the quote party!

 

I think I ruined it. :cry:

Damn that caught Barrett right on the hand. Why don't you keep your hand behind your back like a normal catcher, Barrett?

[Chocolate Milk]

Ouch.

[illiniguy]

Barrett never seems to catch the tipped third strike.

[Garwilly]

So, I'm reading all the drama in here and expect to check the score and see us down like 6-1 at least...

 

It's 2-1.

 

With this bunch, might as well be 100-1.

 

Well they scored one more, and we scored 2 more.

 

Too bad the score is now 101-3. :roll: :roll:

 

Get over yourself. Tying up this one game doesn't negate all of the other games where they've played like being down 1 or 2 is impossible to come back from.

 

Scoreboard. 4-3. Get over yourself.

 

OH MY GOD!!! WE'RE ACTUALLY ERASING OUR STUPID LOSSES!!!! HOW WRONG I WAS!!!

 

Yeah, single game samples are great. It's why we're scoring 10 runs every game.

 

One game, two games, or ten. It doesn't matter. Being down 2-1, and assuming we're out of it is idiotic.

 

Except that how many games this team has lost when there's a 1 or 2-run margin shows that it's not. This game is by far the exception. Acting like this somehow the norm or indicative of something we've seen reguarly this season is simply wrong.

 

 

Being down 2-1, and assuming we're out of it is idiotic.

 

Why are you ignoring the very real stat of how many games the Cubs have lost this year not just being down by 2 runs, but specifically only being down by only 1? Why is it idiotic to pay attention that a large of number of posters and analysts have pointed out repeatedly? Acting like this kind of rally is the norm as opposed to a very rare exception so far this season is incredibly myopic.

 

A high school team being down 2-1 to an MLB team considering themwelves out of it after 6 innings would be idiotic. Everytime the Cubs are not leading, feel free to turn of the TV.

[Guest]

STRUCK HIM OUT!!

[Allroy]

I feel impending doom.

[Guest]

Nice location on that strike 3 pitch.

[RichHillIsABeast]

That'll teach ya to keep your throwing hand behind you, Barrett.

Yes, but it's also quite myopic to assume this "norm" is destined to be repeated every time.

[Outshined_One]

I feel impending doom.

 

One run lead in the 8th?

 

Yeah, definitely.

If ARam doesn't win the GG this year I am going to be extremely pissed.

In other words, you have no legitimate response besides backhanded insults and pointless hyperbole.

Between Rolen and Zimmerman, it'll be really hard.

 

Ohman up.

[RichHillIsABeast]

He's not that great, but he's worlds better than when we got him from the 'rats.

[jersey cubs fan]

I want some Big League Chew.

 

I was craving this so much yesterday. Not sure why, haven't had any in a long time.

I'm not assuming it's going to happen EVERY time, but so far this season it's safe to say that it's very, very, VERY likely to happen. It's been far more likely the result than the Cubs actually mounting any kind of comeback.

 

Nice inning by Howry.

[Flames24Rulz]

Great inning for Howry.

[RichHillIsABeast]

Good work, Bob.

[Handlebar McSkullet]

Finish Him!!!

 

 

Excellent!!!

Ohman up.

 

He's been pretty darn good over at 3rd this year. I'm a Cubs fan so of course I'm biased, but he has been very impressive with some of the stops he's made this year.

I always have some when I play softball. But, I don't spit it like Dwight Schrute.

[Lockes Eye Scar]

Ramirez will never win the GG with Rolen in the league. Rolen will win it every year on reputation alone.

 

although, Rolen is having a terrible year at the plate, so there could be a chance.

GG has nothing to do with being the best fielder and all to do with highlights and reputation

I swear I've seen a giant plastic bucket in the dugout with the logo on it...if I could find a giant bucket of BLC, I'd be very happy.
