7/30 Phillies (Hamels) @ Cubs (Lilly) 6:05 pm CT CSN ESPN

[Keener98]

Why do these people on tv keep acting like Cub fans give a damn that it was 2 ex White Sox that hurt the Cubs? Seriously, who gives a damn

[E.J.]

After attending the last 3 games in person I forgot how over-dramatic the game threads are.

 

they just lost to the hottest team in baseball over the last ten games, to one of the best left handed pitchers in the game. such a child mentality sometimes in this game thread. they lose=end of the season.

 

People have passion for this team. They wanted to see the Cubs in 1st place, and the Cubs put up a crappy showing. Yeah, there's a lot of childish stuff in this thread, but it's a gamethread. People write about their anger as the game goes on.

You know it's bad when someone predicts a 4 game series sweep in the 3rd inning of the 1st game. That still makes me laugh.

You can have passion and perspective at the same time though. The Cubs are 1GB, losing that half game is hardly the end of the world.

It might just be flukish but Marquis has owned Rollins in his career.

 

He is 3/28, all singles for a .107 batting average.

 

Yeah, I was just looking at that-that's a lot of at-bats for a good hitter like Rollins to be so bad against a pitch to contact pitcher like Marquis. I couldn't believe it.

 

The thing is, the Cubs face Adam Eaton and J.D. Durbin in this series. Then in the Mets series they have Zambrano going in game 1 and Lilly going in game 2 against El Duque and Pelfrey. They still have a good chance of going 4-3 on this homestand, which is just fine playing against the Phillies and Mets.

Eh, who cares? Not worth arguing about. Everyone just chill out and turn on My Boys on TBS. :oops:

What a weakass game.

True, but the ninth was particularly craptastic.

They might face Lohse instead of Durbin, not that that changes your point any.
