NLDS Gm 2: Cubs (Lilly) at D'Backs (Davis) 9 PM TBS, 720

[DivineBovine]

We have to stay patient. We can get to this chump. If we start getting rattled and swing at everything, we are done.

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, YOUR 2007 NL CENTRAL CHAMPIONS! LETS GIVE THEM ALL A BIG HAND!

 

Lou, I swear to god, if you don't get off your ass and get out there and talk to him I'm going to shove a red hot poker in your eye.

 

How have you managed not to get banned?

[Smack]

WHAT THE F HAPPENED TO THE STRIKE ZONE??!!!

 

 

IT SHRUNK THIS HALF INNING.

 

Lilly was seriously getting nothing on the corners.

[erik316wttn]

God damnit....I did not expect Lilly to crap the bed

 

That's what you get for being optimistic.

 

There is a very fine line between optimism and stupidity.

 

Always remember, every time you think the Cubs will do well, just tell yourself "They're the Cubs" and you'll come back down to earth.

                  CUBS         Arizona
P/PA              4.30            4.38

[Soul]

Do you folks realize this is how the DBacks made the playoffs in the first place?

 

Luck?

 

I watched them win a dozen games this year by getting the big hit just like that.

 

Did that look like luck to you? It's called getting a good pitch to hit and driving it when you have a scoring opp.

[CubsBears29]

I'm gonna keep watching - at least until we get buried (if happens) - but I'm gonna take a break from the board....... no sense "screaming" obscenities when everyone else in Cubdom is doing the same, in some form or fashion.

We need to ban this baseball team!

[Careless]

This is why I said we should have started Lilly in game one. We would have lost anyway, but Zambrano starts tonight and we win and this series is tied. You all disagreed with me, but it would have been the right call.

aside from not having zambrano for game 4, no reason to think lilly would pull a gigantic choke job, and any real reasons to support what you said whatsoever. Both guys have playoff experience. Zambrano was brutal in the past. Just awful

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Sure is nice that Lilly decided to suck tonight.

[C.C.]

Our offense has got to step up! We lose this game we are done.

[vj9999]

Anything short of DLee and Aram back to back HRs is unacceptable this inning.

Yep and them and the 1906 white sox are the two teams ever to do it. there have been two good teams ever.

[Little Slide Rooter]

Just out of curiosity, wasnt Ted Lilly the guy who won the "pitcher youd most like on the mound in a must win game" poll?

They may not have a great offense, but they take advantage of opportunities. Good teams do not.

[TMan92]

And these stupid commercials are pissing me off more this evening.

It's an 85 win ballclub that played in the weakest division in baseball. Frankly most years they would have been out of it a long time ago.

 

Upset? Yes. Suprised? Not.

Ban them now. They're an embarrasement to the game.

 

This team is beyond pathetic. Right now I think "pathetic" would be an improvement.

I sure didn't vote in that poll

[illiniguy]

now that corner is a strike again.

[DivineBovine]

There will be 2 people watching the Colorado/Arizona NLCS.

[Post Count Padder]

I officially have the game on mute and am leaving it that way

[Soul]

Now watch Doug Davis magically turn into Cy Young.

But yes, lilly won it
