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

That slider for strike 1 to Reynolds was awesome.

 

Nice quick inning Woody. :)

[illiniguy]

Thanks KW

Strange feeling....I saw a Diamondback player hit a ball hard, but it was caught for an out.

[TMan92]

Heart of the order coming up........BWAHAHAHAHA

[OleMissCub]

Too bad Lou left Lilly in too long

 

I hate life right now

[cbbryan]

I know I'm alittle late....... I had to go stomp on my hat!

 

WHAT A TERRIBLE AB BY SORIANO!!!!!! Cruz isn't hitting his spots and Soriano comes up swinging at everything. How much of a baseball IQ do you need to realize that Cruz is probably going to fall behind you if you're patient and you'll get something nice to hit?!?!

 

WHAT A TERRIBLE AB!!!!

 

 

On a side note, WTG Kerry! Nice 1-2-3 inning! Let's see if DLee and ARAM can get us rolling again.

IF the Cubs win this game, I will buy a month of premium for me and a month of premium for Flames24Rulz.

DLee: K

Aram: Fly out to track

On a bright note, Kerry is looking good as of late. He could be a nice closer next year.

 

I hope Hendry brings him back for another incentive-laden deal and he stays healthy all year in the back of the pen. Trade Dempster and I'd enjoy seeing Howry-Marmol-Wood in the back end of the pen.

 

that is the best scenario. i guess its time to start talking about next year.

Now let's all try to hit 6 run homers so we can strike out on balls in the dirt.

My grandfather used to say "well, you can wish in one hand and sh*t in the other and see which gets filled first"

just to add to the though, i wouldn't be surprised at all if this is how it turns out. lou seems to have very little faith in dempster and for good reason at times. i dont hate or love dempster, but if there is another option there that has the potential to be better (and the cubs have a few) then i say trade him.

Pena in to pitch for Arizona

Still time to chip away. Let's do this.

Soriano has never been patient. He won't ever become patient. The many swings and whiffs he'll produce over the next six years will make Chicago an even more windy city. I honestly think when he gets mad after he strikes out on a pitch ten inches outside or high or in the dirt, he's more mad that he didn't hit it than being mad that he swung at a ball.

i hope all the diamondbacks get hurt so they can forfeit the next 3 games.

Pena in to pitch for Arizona

 

How many times we made up 4 runs after the 6th?

[TMan92]

Still time to chip away. Let's do this.

 

They just have too good of a bullpen.

Start us off RIOT!
