I am certain this has been mentioned somewhere else in the 130 pages in this thread, but Aramis has looked utterly clueless at the plate. We cannot win without him. He needs to get his you-know-what together.

This team has zero chance to win as long as Soriano, Lee, and Ramirez are all hitting like Mick Kelleher.

I don't know. Didn't he hit some balls extremely hard in game one? It's really hard for me to say that so and so hasn't played well when you're talking about one or two games...but that's just me. And I understand, it's the playoffs.

i just have no confidence in lilly and i'm sure he has no confidence in himself right now either. either way, the cubs winning this series is 1/50 IMO. My confidence is shattered, i hope their's isn't.

 

Actually, it's more like 4 in 48, but still pretty close.

 

How'd you get 1 in 12? I figure if we've got a roughly 50% chance of winning each game, our chances are 1/8. And that's pretty consistent with the 4 teams out of 27 that Raisin mentioned earlier.

 

Yup

He crushed two to the warning track. However, in pretty much every other pitch he looked like an idiot. Same with Soriano. He hit that one that bounced and hit the wall pretty well, but other than that they've looked clueless.
