Oh well. Didn't expect to beat Webb tonight anyway.

[mlarner]

Lets get them tomorrow. Go Cubs.

[Guest]

Game over.

 

Thanks, Lou.

 

Hows this Lou's fault? The offense could not score to save their life.

 

Loss isn't all on Lou for pulling Z, but he shares blame with Marmol and the offense.

[Guest]

Season over. We're not winning three in a row.

 

Don't have to.

[Wilson A2000]

Game over.

 

Thanks, Lou.

 

Hows this Lou's fault? The offense could not score to save their life.

 

84 pitches for your star pitcher in a tie game? Lou had a big part in this mess.

[moorecg]

well there goes that. hopefully we leave town with a split

 

We have to. Lilly is good after a Cubs loss...someone said 9-1.

 

And Z only threw 85 pitches...he should be fine on Sunday...assuming there is a Sunday.

 

This sucks.

[Roast]

Another overpaid Dominican Cub that does nothing in the playoffs. One hopped at the plate, the other in the outfield.

 

Do you completely forget the 03 NLCS?

[mlarner]

P.S. As always, thanks Fred.

[CubsBears29]

Game over.

 

Thanks, Lou.

 

Hows this Lou's fault? The offense could not score to save their life.

 

Exactly, 2 or 3 STRAIGHT innings when the lead off hitter was on 2nd, NO OUTS, and no runs scored in those situations... maybe the 1 run scored off the bases loaded situation started off the last in that series of "leadoff man in SP, no outs" innings.

[Handlebar McSkullet]

If Dusty was still manager this game would still be going on because we wouldnt be playing in it.

 

fixed

[minnesotacubsfan]

TBS coverage blows

 

 

"the curse is alive and well" sign

 

go eat some cheese b!tch

[Mizzou]

Pull your ace when he's cruising and only at 85 pitches in a tie game. F--ing idiot. What a f--ing idiot.

Someone tell me Doug Davis sucks ass.

[Wilson A2000]

If Dusty was still manager this game would still be going on.

 

If Dusty is our manager we don't make the playoffs. He is worth 4 losses a year.

Edited October 4, 2007 by Wilson A2000

[rocket]

Another overpaid Dominican Cub that does nothing in the playoffs. One hopped at the plate, the other in the outfield.

 

sosa went .308/.455/.577 in the nlcs. nice try though.

[ElectricJ]

Tomorrow's our season. Lose & we'll be done for.

 

Everyone else glad we made the playoffs as much as me right now? ](*,)

[erik316wttn]

Game over.

 

Thanks, Lou.

 

Hows this Lou's fault? The offense could not score to save their life.

 

Lou takes out Z who was cruising after 85 pitches. Dbacks score two runs off the reliever, who, yes, was our best one, but still takes the loss.

 

Does nobody see the stupidity in taking out your pitcher when he's dominating and thrown well less than 100 pitches, saving him for a game that may not even be played?? Anyone??

[ZiggyTaxi]

The Cubs suck. I want to kill myself.

[Omar]

Game over.

 

Thanks, Lou.

84 pitches for your star pitcher in a tie game? Lou had a big part in this mess.

 

But come on... Did you really expect Marmol to give up anything? It's really easy to second guess.

 

The biggest mistake he made was not bunting with Z with the runner on 2B and no outs.

[E.J.]

Meh. Had to figure this was going to be the toughest matchup for us. We've got the better starting pitchers the next 3 games. Gotta take advantage.

 

Hopefully our luck will change next game. Way too many hard-hit balls right at people.

[Flames24Rulz]

Loss goes on Marmol, but an honorable mention to Piniella. No one's going to be able to convince me otherwise on how pulling him after just throwing 85 pitches was a good move.

 

YOU PLAY TO WIN THE GAME.

[Wilson A2000]

Someone tell me Doug Davis sucks ass.

 

He had success against the Cubs this year. But the Cubs are better at hitting lefties lately.
