9/6: LA (Lowe) at Cubs (Marquis), 1:20 pm CDT; CSN

[nick23]

don't remember the last time pie got a hit

I think it's been like 3 months.

[Faceman]

Cardinal fans erupt in cheers after the score was shown that the Dodgers took the 6-4 lead.

 

Makes me sick.

Earlier they made fun of a heavy set gentleman in cubs gear. They are a classy organization no doubt about it.

 

The organization did?

[Schwarber Fan]

Good one today Cubs. I'm not sure the Cards or Brewers will ever lose again, so good luck.

[C.C.]

Dempster's been great. This was overdue.

 

It just blows it had to come in a game like this.

 

Yep, he's done a good job this year. Now it's up to his teammates to pick him up and score some runs in the 9th.

 

Dempster - ERA after today 3.5+. SOs/IPs = 48/55

 

Marmol ERA 1.45. 77/56

 

Saves are misleading. Dempster gets hit hard and doesn't strike out enough guys to be a good closer which is why he is constantly in trouble even when he does get lucky saves.

 

Lucky saves? Is this a stat? :roll:

 

 

Yes, 25 saves with a 3.5 ERA.

 

Yes, because a 3.5 ERA for a closer is terrible...Gimme a break!

[Post Count Padder]

Crap crap crap

While I completely agree that saves are misleading, to say that Dempster gets hit hard is inaccurate. Coming into this game, opponent have put up a line of .197/.296/.275 against Dempster this season.

 

no. it's a lucky .197/.296/.275

Yes, 25 saves with a 3.5 ERA.

 

Look at his ERA in save situations. He hasn't been lucky, he's been good in that spot.

 

He's been great lately and he didn't pitch badly today. It isn't that hard to realize.

[cubbyvirus00]

at least they are going down with the ship. It's better then false hope.

No. Joe Borowski is lucky with 40 saves, a 5.50 ERA, and a 1.47 WHIP.

[TMan92]

And that is what a closer does.

[kujay]

Days like this make me hate my folks for raising me a Cubs fan.

The organization did?

The announcers did. After the camera man pulled him aside from everyone else. Edited September 6, 2007 by illiniguy

Cubs aren't getting a hit here. No chance.

 

That one was hard to predict.

[IowaCubsFan]

Good one today Cubs. I'm not sure the Cards or Brewers will ever lose again, so good luck.

 

The Brewers' next ten games are against the Pirates and Reds.

 

This season is OVER.

I saw him get a hit up the middle just the other day.

[Smack]

good work cobs. you miserable pathetic losers....

[inari]

To me, this is the most heartbreaking loss of the year.

[cubbyvirus00]

Good season Cubs, now lose every game so we can get a decent draft pick.

[David]

Does anyone really think that a well ran organization has both Mamrol and Dempster on their team, yet lets Dempster close?

 

 

Seriously?

 

Would you really rather waste Marmol's amazing effectiveness on coming in for the 9th inning with a lead and nobody on?

 

I know I'd rather use him in the situations he is already being used in.

[illiniguy]

Good season Cubs, now lose every game so we can get a decent draft pick.

Lol, even if we did that we would just screw the pick up.

[Andy]

This season is OVER.

Our next ten are against the Pirates, Astros and Cardinals. We've owned the Cardinals this season and the other two suck terribly.

 

If we're even remotely playoff-caliber we'll win 6 or 7 of those.

I know. We still have to play the Padres, Mets, Phillies, D'Backs...

 

Nevermind. We play the Pirates and Reds too.

Whoops.....I meant Dempster was having a Cy Young type of year. Silly me, forgot that I have to speak in extremes in this thread.

[Yestheydo]

Wow! What an exciting game. Too bad the Cubs lost. Oh well.

Wow. I thought it was over a month from now. My bad.

 

Oh well, at least the Bears start playing on Sunday.
