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

[Guest]

Gonna enjoy Soto playing full time next season. Hope he can sustain the improvements in his game he made this season.

I seriously want to go find Frank Caliendo and rips his eyeballs out.

 

It's almost getting as bad as the damn John Mellancamp/John Cougar/John Cougar Mellancamp commercials.

 

except frank caliendo is funny and john mellancamp sucks

 

ned holness is to comedy what john mellencamp is to music

 

fixed

 

john mellencamp at least writes his own crap.

Everything that has happened in this series is a reason why I was saying for weeks beforehand that I wanted to face any other potential playoff team besides Arizona. Webb/Davis, the ludicrous luck, the Stephen Drew God complex, our bizarre inability to do anything in Chase Field...ugh.

 

Cubs wouldn't beat Colorado the way they are playing and Phillies' offense and Hamels would manhandle the Cubs.

DeRo gets hosed on calls always.

[Fred Hornkohl]

DeRosa called out on strikes

[OleMissCub]

If we don't pull out a miracle, I want the Rockies to bitchsmack the Dbacks into tears.

Gotta love an all expansion team NLCS.

I've started noticing that lately.

[TMan92]

Is it me or is their pitch track thing completely wrong.?

[cbbryan]

that was not a strike.

 

The outside plate must of grown a couple inches.

IDK, I'd kinda want to see Augie win a WS ring.

[TMan92]

Jacque special.

[vj9999]

JJ comes through again...

[Faceman]

all it takes is one game to turn it around.

 

gotta get something out of Hill.

Why? He isn't even a real big leaguer. He hurt the cubs for years taking up a roster spot putting up a sub .500 ops, then now he goes off on us in the playoffs.

Gonna enjoy Soto playing full time next season. Hope he can sustain the improvements in his game he made this season.

 

If he puts up anything less than his Iowa line this year, I'll be real disappointed in him. Also, Carlos Marmol will move to the rotation and STILL have an ERA under 2. Or else.

[AFCubsFan]

Poor JJ, he tried to ground into a double play but must have forgot there were 2 outs.

[TMan92]

Livan Hernandez and Micah Owings. We could tie this thing up. I am not giving up yet. This team is very tough at home. That is why last night was crucial.

[weis21]

we can all agree then that the cubs are the least talented team in the playoffs? i hate myself for getting so worked up about this series.

[TruffleShuffle]

Is it me or is their pitch track thing completely wrong.?

 

yeah i thought the espn one was bad and then i saw this one... holy crap is it inaccurate.

Soto hasn't been good enough to help the team win in the postseason. Next postseason will just be a repeat of this again.

Thank God I was at the Smashing Pumpkins concert tonight. I would've killed myself had I had to watch this all night. I'm going to bed. Go Flubs.

That's it for me . . . I'm going to bed with one inning left, so the Cubs will surely come back and win now that I won't be watching.
