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

[abuck1220]

lee came in sporting a sweet .289 career postseason SLG.

 

Most of which is propped up by 2 doubles coming against the Cubs in 2003.

 

i don't believe in clutch, but i believe in choking. and lee looks terrified out there. it's pathetic.

[Smack]

turn the anger to laughter

[WrigleyinEngland]

terrible people?? i'm sorry do you even know me outside the hell of supporting this useless pathetic franchise??

I think we might be the only team in the playoffs he starts for. At least in the NL.

 

I am sure AZ would take him in a heart beat. The other two starting 1B are Todd Helton and Ryan Howard so I am not sure what your point is. This is why the playoffs are a crapshoot. Two bad games can make any team or player look bad. Think the 101 win Braves were thrilled to lose to the Cubs in '03?

[ElectricJ]

Ahhhh....the cherry on top. Juan Cruz comes in to finish us off.

 

Juan & Augie. Not to mention Joe Bo tearing it up for the Tribe. We are definitely cursed.

The worst thing is theres no defining moment to commemorate this years dissapointment. No over zealous fans, no should be inning double plays, just a bunch of really bad baseball.

 

Ah but the pundits will blame Lou.

[DivineBovine]

At least we know that a team can come from 0-2 down to win a series.

[Larry Horse]

could someone explain to me why I was confident the Cubs would win this series?

 

I must have been dropped on my head as a child

It helps that he just watches the fastballs right down the middle and swings and the garbage.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Reynolds took second on a wild pitch

[Smack]

lol BB

[CubbyBanksWrigley]

Blackhawks lose Havlat again.

 

really? good i hate that guy, what a prick he is.

 

And even in less of a surprise, the Hawks lose 1-0 to the Wild. Back to listening to Ron vent. Wild pitch by Hart. Reynolds to 2B.

 

And is anyone else sick of hearing the Arizona organist play the "Defense" chant ensemble.

 

Hart walks another one. Augie up now. And Hart's done.

[cbbryan]

Let's just walk all the batters so they don't get hits.......

[TMan92]

Augie again. Two flipping walks.

As they should, he has been terrible this series.

I think Conor Jackson is better than Derrek Lee. Hell he almost had as many homers and rbis playing in a platoon.

I'm with you on that, don't believe players improve and are clutch but I believe hitters can play considerably worse in tense situations.

Yeah, Jo Bo is tearing it up. Have you actually looked at this stats?

[Smack]

It's Eyre TIME!

[gruberted]

Plays funeral music!

[ElectricJ]

I know that emotions run high in the game threads, but a lot of you guys are really just terrible people.

 

Wow. A comment like this from someone with your sig. Amazing.

 

I think he was being funny...Because the irony was fantastic.

 

Maybe. This terrible person is a bit emotional right now.

[windycityfan]

I'm sick and tired of supporting crappy teams. What did I do to deserve this? Cubs? Bears? Blackhawks? Purdue? I get more punishment than murderers.

 

Misery loves company: Cubs, Bears, Notre Dame grad. I am the epitome of suffering. Got my hopes really up for the Super Bowl - it almost killed me.

 

I should really consider start playing with dolls.

That's about the only thing left to hang onto, but considering our team it doesn't mean a hill of beans.

[CubsNSkers07]

I don't know why I could have faith after going through it year after year. We come back from 11 games or whatever it was exactly play terrible baseball start hitting home runs like crazy in september and then tank in the playoffs wish i was used to it by now.
