9/25 Cubs (Lilly) @ Marlins (Willis) 6:05 PM CDT WCIU/720

[C.C.]

BTW - Brewers up 7-1.

[Keener98]

Ok I didnt realize thats what this discussion was about sorry. In no way was I trying to say that was the reason we lost this game. It was a small factor along with alot of other things.

No, I'm just trying to stifle the sentiment that Lou cost us the game. It wasn't a smart move, but the team's piss poor performance for 8.2 innings back him into a corner.

 

Agreed

[Keener98]

For the last time, people.

 

The offense lost this game, not the lefty-lefty matchup that resulted in a 400-foot flyout. A team that gets 2-hit by Dontrelle over 8 innings cannot be managed to victory. End of story.

 

It's still a poor decision that might have overcome a lackluster effort from the offense.

 

I say the Cubs gave a poor effort: I get called out.

 

Raisin says it: He's right!

 

You called it a poor effort in the second inning.

 

I said the offense's results were lackluster today after the game.

 

We basically lost to 2 bloop singles.

 

True. But still. I guess I have to be drinking the Kool-Aid now, because there's NO WAY IN HELL we lose this division.

 

Just like there was NO WAY IN HELL we lose in 84 or 2003.

 

There is no denying that this win gives the Brewers momentum. Why all the bashing? He's got a right to be concerned.

 

Momentum is the most overrated and ignorant thing in baseball. What happened to the momentum they lost against Atl? Or our momentum? Momentum isnt a part of baseball.

I'm a fan of alliteration. Good on you.

Sure it is.

How? Its more the fact the Brewers are facing a piss poor pitching staff with tons of injuries to their lineup. They limped in playing them, if momentum was real in baseball, the Cards would be winning these games.

I'm not arguing that it carries over day to day, but to say that it doesn't exist is just flat out not true. Momentum is absolutely a part of baseball.

I started a thread in baseball discussions about this. Im interested to see other peoples takes.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

I know we're all feeling depressed and anxious after the euphoria of the weekend, but all is not lost. Our magic number is still four with five to play. While the Brewers will win tonight, I don't expect them to win out. We had won four in a row coming into this game, so we were due a loss.

 

Hopefully, tonight's game will serve as a wake-up call and the guys will come out tomorrow and get the win.

Momentum could last 2 inning or 10 games. Baseball is a mental game and momentum plays a part of it.

Going into the Cincy series last week at home the consensus was that if the Cubs won the remaining of their series they would take the division.

 

So far they have done just that.

 

2 out of 3 from Cincy

3 out of 3 against Pitt

2 left with Fla

3 left w/ Cincy

 

They are 5-2 thus far with 5 to play. 3-2 the rest of the way accomplishes that goal with room to spare.

Gotta win the next two. There's no reason this team should lose 5 of 6 to the Marlins on the year.

[Sammy Sofa]

Gotta win the next two. There's no reason this team should lose 5 of 6 to the Marlins on the year.

 

Including last year, I believe they said on the broadcast tonight that the Cubs have lost their last 8 games against the Marlins.

 

Damn Fish.

I think I remember saying I didn't want to see these guys back when they swept us last time.

 

How about realizing they're one of the NL's worst teams and playing accordingly, for a change?
