It's not like this team can't come back from this score........... well, make that more runs.

[illiniguy]

augie ojeda. get the hell out of here.

[CubbyBanksWrigley]

Damn you Augie.

[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.

 

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.

Wouldn't the ability to not tense up be the "clutch" then?

 

i think of clutch as improving your normal play in tense situations, which i don't think is possible.

[Illini Iceman]

You know theres got to be a part of Sean Marshall, Steve Traschle, Will Ohman, Craig Monroe, and Henry Blanco that are truely enjoying this.

 

Maybe bandwagon jumpers that change their avatars to other teams when things are going bad have a part of them that is truly enjoying this also.

[TMan92]

Augie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

God I hate my life.

[Omar]

LOL Augie.

[Exile on Waveland]

Ojeda. This is a freaking joke.

[TruffleShuffle]

comedy at its finest, we're getting destroyed by one of the worst offenses in the league.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Ojeda singled to center field , Reynolds scored, Upton to third

[Outshined_One]

I'm done with this.

 

I won't watch Saturday. This is a waste of time.

Well in that sense I agree there is no such thing as clutch.

[go_cubs_go]

I knew we should have never let Ojeda go :x

[Guest]

Does Augie have more hits in the playoffs than he ever had as a Cub yet?

[justin23iu]

Oh no, here comes Worst. It's gonna be 10-2 real shortly.

[TMan92]

Don't worry...We won't need another lefty on Saturday anyway.

[WrigleyinEngland]

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha Ojeda ha ha ha ha ha 4 for 6 in the series only this team!!!!! i'm going to find a 24 hour bar and prop up the bar until at least monday.

[cbbryan]

Maybe we gotta do the Boston thing and be down 0-2 and come back?

[Little Slide Rooter]

Maybe this series will buy little Augie Ojeda another half season in the big leagues.

wait so why can players choke under pressure but not perform better under pressure? shouldn't it work both ways?

[windycityfan]

Someone said a couple of days ago that he feared Augie Ojeda might have come back to haunt us and I replied he needed to grow a pair.

 

Sir, whoever you are and wherever you are, my most sincere apologies.

[weis21]

wow, now an augie jinx provided by dick stockton. such a horrible baseball announcer. stick to basketball pal. eyre got hurt, that pretty much burns the pen for the whole series. oh yeah, i guess thats only one more game. why oh why did I even get excited about this series????

[FloridaCubbie]

Time to switch to hard liquor.

If you have read what I have said. I don't think you can do better. I think you can supress your nerves to the point where you can do the same as normal.

[Roast]

I can't believe this.

 

There was no reason we shouldnt sweep this series, or at least not win it in 4.

 

I cant believe this.
