2.5 back and fading fast?

 

Not really surprising. No matter what anyone says, we're not a real good team.

 

Take 2 top run producers out of any lineup and most teams won't be real good.

 

they weren't real good with those guys.

[BCVM22]

When it rains, it pours.

[abuck1220]

that's one of those calls that umps make to make them look smart.

[Butterscup1679666578]

thats a bogus call.

yeah, 18 games over .500 in a 35 game span (or something similar to that) isn't good.

Well 2-5 including a predicted loss today since Soriano went down (Ramirez played in one of those games). 58-51 with those guys

[Flames24Rulz]

Jock really wanted to get out of the box quickly.

[Guancous]

Everyone take a deep breath. We're down 2 early in Coors Field with Johnny McScrub pitching. Let's see what he does the 2nd time through the order.

[killthegoat06]

That's the game.

 

Two thirds of our starting pitching rotation are heart attack inducing.

 

3/5

[RynoRules]

That was a horse poop call.

 

Did anyone else notice Murt trying to talk to De-Row? Mark didn't seem interested.

[UMFan83]

I think thats why were freaking out. Johnny McScrub would win the Cy Young if they faced the Cubs every game.

They were better.

3/5

 

Holy crap, I think my brain was apparently melting when I posted that.

[inari]

We don't need bogus calls to help us lose. I'm going to give up on this team really soon.

[UMFan83]

He really did clean up there.

[Sammy Sofa]

Everyone take a deep breath. We're down 2 early in Coors Field with Johnny McScrub pitching for the Cubs.

 

Fixed.

i guess you and i have different definitions of "good." seven games over .500 doesn't do much for me...sorry.

just overlooking the other 80 games are we? give me a break.

 

Just ignoring the fact that the vast majority of good teams lose as many as 70 games in a season?

what?

 

let me know when the cubs go 92-70.

2.5

 

Let's say the Cubs lose this game (which is far from over). That leaves us 2.5 back with about 49 games left to play. We play 3 directly against the Brewers. Our schedule is easy. We get Ramirez back in our next game. We made up 8.5 games in a month. I think we can make up 2.5 games in more time than that.

Problem is, the Crew have an equally easy schedule and I'll eat my hat if we win the Wild Card. The Brewers are heating up, while we're fading. Ridiculous calls like the one on Theriot only raise the anger and panic level of a fanbase.

Optimism is a beautiful thing.

Nice catch by Jones there.
