NLDS: Gm 1 Cubs (Z!) @ DBacks (Webb), 9:07pm, TBS, WGN Radio

Someone tell me Doug Davis sucks ass.

 

That means nothing. How many suckass lefties have the Cubs looked like crap against this year? A dozen? Maybe more?

[ArthurVandalay]

Yes. Lou lost this game for us tonight.

[ElectricJ]

Someone tell me Doug Davis sucks ass.

 

Doug Davis sucks ass.

 

And he'll shut down our offense tomorrow. Just watch.

[minnesotacubsfan]

dback fans are all like "huh we won..now what?"

 

nice fans jagoff

[Exile on Waveland]

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.

 

Dude, give it up. He obviously sucks; I don't care what nine random digits you post.

[moorecg]

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.

 

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.

 

That would have been very nice...or Drew being 2 ft the other direction...that would have been good too.

[da bears]

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.

 

I agree. It was a dumb move even before Marmol came in. I just don't understand this saving for game 4 crap.

 

YOU PLAY TO WIN THE GAME.

 

Cubs should be going for the sweep, not playing for game 4.

Thanks, Lou.

I'll admit I didn't expect Marmol to suck. But there is no reason, NONE, that Z couldn't have at least started the inning with Marmol ready in the pen in case he got into trouble.

[David]

A - This was the game we were supposed to lose.

 

B - Bringing in Marmol was not a bad move. It just didn't work out.

YOU PLAY TO WIN THE GAME.

 

And I suppsoe the offense, or lack there of didnt even factor into it.

 

I couldnt tell if the Cubs were more intereted in winning the game or just getting it over with and getting to bed.

Remember what Bruce said earlier in the game thread. Lou said before the game that he was going to use Z for 100+ pitches tonight if he was effective. Something during the game made him change that opinion, and we don't know what it was yet.

[E.J.]

I love all the people blaming Lou. We scored 1 freaking run. Pretty tough to win games when you only score 1 run.

[CuseCubFan69]

Tomorrow will be a nice time to jump on the DBacks and make them think about the pressure of the playoffs. I hope the Cubs can do it because today it looked as if the DBacks were the most relaxed team.

[Mizzou]

Those announcers sucked ass too.

 

Couldn't pronounce Quade's name.

Couldn't pronounce Marmol's name.

Kept talking about how Soriano was hobbling, when he didn't do it once.

etc.

etc.

[Wilson A2000]

Davis is 1-0 vs the Cubs with a 1.29 ERA. I believe this was just one start.

Stockton said that Kendall came over in the Barrett trade

The offense deserves a ton of blame, no doubt, but Lou is a moron for yanking Zambrano when he did.

Yup. Every Cubs loss ever is Sammy's fault.

[ArthurVandalay]

 

B - Bringing in Marmol was not a bad move. It just didn't work out.

 

It was the act of taking out Zambrano that was the bad move.

There were some hard hit balls, but in the playoffs you have to score when runners get in scoring position

[Mizzou]

At least I'll be drunk tomorrow night when Lou pisses the game away by trying to save Lilly for a Game 5 that won't ever happen.

cobs suck
