Lilly throwing his glove like the kid from the Bad News Bears was classic. This veteran Cub team wins in four......Funniest thing ever.

[abuck1220]

that baby fit by lilly sums up the cubs this series...just totally buckling under the pressure.

[nilodnayr]

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.

 

“I think he performs well in any situation,” said Scioscia. “So, as far as being a clutch hitter late in the game, you’re not going to see many guys better than David. I don’t think it’s a matter of stepping up. I think it’s a matter of maintaining your game and not trying to do too much; not taking yourself out of what you do well. And he does it as well as anybody.”

Wuertz in to pitch for the CUBS

[TruffleShuffle]

and the flyers blow their two-goal lead, YES. Too bad the Eagles are off this week, maybe donovan mcnabb and brian westbrook can suffer season-ending injuries in a boating accident.

[nilodnayr]

2nd on the COWBOYS!!!!

 

Uhhhh, Dick, these guys won't be playing on Sunday.

i pretty much expect it... not for the entire team to melt down and choke, but at least to lose and screw up and stuff

[cbbryan]

This is getting ugly quick.

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.

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

 

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

 

if a player is a 7 on a scale of 1-10, he can choke his way down to a 5. but i don't see how he can make himself an 8 in tight spots. if he had that ability, he'd be an 8 all the time.

Please Chris Young.....be merciful.

[Sosa21MVP]

Just gotta tip your cap. :oops:

[Little Slide Rooter]

I dont blame the Cubs. If I was making that much money to do that bad at my job, Id want to go home and spend it as soon as possible too.

Just saw it for the first time when they showed in a few minutes ago. It was hilarious, especially coming from Lilly.

[circlecitycub]

This is a serious question.

 

Does this team really give a crap?

Did you guys get Lou's Aquafina commercial earlier in the game, or was that a local ad? It was hilarious.
