8/26 Cubs (Marquis) @ D'Backs (Petit?) 3:40 CST on Comcast

[soccer10k]

Is there any doubt Valverde goes 1-2-3 in the ninth?

Someone will get on just get your hopes up.

 

And then a warning track flyout by Theriot to end the game? Sounds good to me.

[Mizzou]

How do the Cardinals do in the playoffs? I say they win it all again.

If so, then Hendry will go out this offseason and find the biggest cokeheads he can and sign them to long term contracts.

[samhainn77]

good inning.

 

I can't remember such an incompetent offense. I think we had a much higher chance of scoring at any point last year than we have the last 2 weeks. Every hitter's approach (save Theriot and Kendall) is just terrible. Watch the meat, swing at crap - your goal is to pop the ball straight up or ground out meekly to the pitcher.

[soccer10k]

Ha, two straight ground outs to the pitcher? Awesome.

 

And WTF, why is Craig Monroe starting two games in a row?

 

He started yesterday because a lefty was pitching but he shouldn't have started today.

They were WAY worse last year. Didn't the Cubs set a record for fewest runs over a 9 or 10 game span?

 

EDIT: I don't know if this was a record or not but starting on April 29, the Cubs scored 6 runs in 8 games and 13 runs in 11 games: 2, 0, 2, 0, 1, 0, 0, 1, 3, 3, 1.

Lol, yep. He'll also try sign every short reliever he can find to revamp the rotation.

 

I don't think they'll win it all, but they'll win a series. We'll all get our fill of hearing the feel good stories. So inspiring, just goes to show kids...if you don't give up and snort coke/drink and drive you can achieve the impossible.

They might have been worse last year but it hurts more this year because with just a little bit of hitting we could run away with this division. As it is we're going to hand it over the Cardinals on a silver platter.

I'm suprised the whole "Winning for Josh Hancock" angle hasn't been played up. I guess the BAC, drugs and speeding that led to his demise have made the story harder to play up.

Fair enough, I guess the fake rallies are keeping us away from shut outs. It could just be that it pisses me off infinitely more this year.

I'm surprised that angle hasn't been played up yet either. But don't worry, there's still plenty of time left in the year for that.

[cubfan1955]

That a way Bob. Walk a run into scoring position.

Give it time.

[illiniguy]

I was assured we didn't have to worry about the Cardinals because of their rotation. LOL. Where is everyone who was saying that now?

[soccer10k]

Come on Bobby, get out of this.

[UMFan83]

I'm right here, and as usual I'm an idiot.

[CubsBears29]

Fake rally time now - YAY!

[soccer10k]

Thank you Bobby.

 

Please do something offense.

[Soul]

Come on Bobby, get out of this.

 

Not that it matters. AZ could put Mickey Mouse out there and get a 1-2-3 from us.

Never underestimate the luck of that crap franchise.

I'm still not worried about the Cardinals. I'm worried about the damn Cubs. If these morons can play like they might actually want to go to the playoffs, the Cardinals wouln't be a problem. If the Cardinals take it, it's because the Cubs gave it to them.

[UMFan83]

Last half inning we can say that we are 2 games up

[Sammy Sofa]

I LOVE IT WHEN THEY CALL THIS TEAM "BIG LOSERS."

[CubsBears29]

Still no DeRo.

 

Screw you Lou.

[soccer10k]

Thank you Mike Fontenot.

[CubsBears29]

Still no DeRo.

 

Screw you Lou.

 

Maybe later... since it didn't work out like I was most sure it would.

 

Fake rally has started......
