8/8 Idiots (Z) @ Astros (Oswalt) 7:05 PM WGN

[frostwyrm]

I can't recall ever seeing such a powerless lineup. We're 112 games into the season and we have a lineup with 37 combined homers. That's astounding. It's like early 1900's deadball era stuff.

Koyie grounds out weakly... For this guy Soto stays in Iowa ](*,)

[Sosa21MVP]

So what does that bring the batting average with RISP this week to?

[aerosmith21]

Im really starting to get fricking FRUSTRATED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Smack]

Ha Ha Ha you have to laugh otherwise you'd smash your pc in to pieces and trash your house!!!!

 

lol.... that did make me laugh

[TruffleShuffle]

can't we find a hitter who can just punch a crappy hit through a drawn-in infield like the astros did last night?

[CubsBears29]

I knew it was a mistake to get emotionally involved with this team again.......... same as always, just when you start to really care/get optimistic... they pull the rug right out from under ya!

[killthegoat06]

Good job cobs. :twisted:

[inari]

I don't recall being this frustrated at any point during the 2006 season.

[Shilzzz]

Koyie grounds out weakly... For this guy Soto stays in Iowa ](*,)

 

Hill's CERA is through the roof!!!

[Cynosure]

The sad thing is, it's 3:30am here and I have to put up with this [expletive].

[Soul]

Can't take this crap anymore!! :evil: :evil: :evil:

[TruffleShuffle]

koyie hill is a terrible baseball player, why is he here

[killthegoat06]

I knew it was a mistake to get emotionally involved with this team again.......... same as always, just when you start to really care/get optimistic... they pull the rug right out from under ya!

 

Chill out. They're .5 game out of first. They're not even losing this game. Yes they're in a funk, but it won't take much to get back in first. Relax.

[Cynosure]

We're only .5 games out because we got lucky and the Rockies got hot.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Lee doubled to left center field

[inari]

As confident as I was that the Cubs would strand a leadoff double, I'm even more confident the Stros will capitalize on their's.

[killthegoat06]

We're only .5 games out because we got lucky and the Rockies got hot.

 

If we win this game we're tied. That's all that matters, lucky or not.

[CubsBears29]

Perfect, following the script perfectly.

 

We get a runner to 3rd, with less than 2 outs, fail to score. Now Astros will score at least 1 right after.

 

:x

[Smack]

Let's see if the Astros waste their leadoff double....

[TruffleShuffle]

The sad thing is, it's 3:30am here and I have to put up with this ****.

 

go to bed, the cubs aren't worth it

[Hairyducked Idiot]

We're only .5 games out because we got lucky and the Rockies got hot.

 

So when we lose, we're bad. When the Brewers lose, we're lucky.

[Cynosure]

We're only .5 games out because we got lucky and the Rockies got hot.

 

If we win this game we're tied. That's all that matters, lucky or not.

 

Which is true... but we play the Rockies next.

Scott struck out swinging
