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

[illiniguy]

nice inning. these guys sure are hitting well this postseason.

[Omar]

Way to take pitches.

 

Now watch this offense shut down for the remaining innings.

 

:(

[Soul]

That's the end of that.

 

Think it's time to switch the channel for awhile, maybe Lilly will stop sucking while I'm away.

[kente777]

The worst part of this is all the bandwagon Arizona fans who now have free reign to spout crap like "ANYBODY, ANYTIME!" and "this team knows how to win!" It almost wouldn't be as bad if it were Philly (they're annoying win or lose) or Colorado (I don't think Rockies fans know how to trash talk) but Arizona? It's sickening.

 

You know what, I don't even care anymore. They sure are a heck of alot better than the Cobs.

Pitiful

 

Pitiful would be an upgrade.

[TMan92]

Our money guys have been anything but. How long of a leash does Lilly get?

[Smack]

Lou, please break something or get ejected. Someone needs to let these guys know they're in the [expletive] playoffs.

Great half-inning there. Almost makes the 98 look like a competent playoff team. This is embarassing.

[chuckywang]

Murton, don't try to get a slow rolling infield hit every single time now.

don't worry, it's not like there's going to be a lot of publicity for the rockies-d'backs series. Probably will get worse ratings than the NHL.

:(

 

As I said, now watch as DD magically turns in to Cy Young. This pattern is all-too-familiar with this team.

[BCVM22]

You know what, I don't even care anymore. They sure are a heck of alot better than the Cobs.

 

No. No they aren't. That's why this is bad.

[CubColtPacer]

Well, at least Davis is at 59 pitches through 3. I'm not sure getting into the Arizona pen early will help the Cubs, but they are seeing a pretty good amount of pitches.

[moorecg]

Why do our pitchers seem contractually obligated to give up runs after our team scores...yet the other team never does?

[Smack]

When they score 4 more off of Lilly it won't matter.

[Soul]

If you told me Lee & ARam would suck in the NLDS, I'd tell you we won't be winning it. Unfortunately that is coming true.

 

Either Lee & ARam start to play better or it is quite simply over.

You act like no teams have bandwagoners, cept AZ. Damn. Whine, whine, whine about our fans. I know they suck Edited October 5, 2007 by Chris24Young

[Post Count Padder]

Holy crap

[erik316wttn]

Lilly, you suck beyond what words can describe.

[chuckywang]

Woohoo, another leadoff man on base.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Reynolds blooped a single to shallow right field

[kente777]

....and awaaaaaaaaaaaayyyy we go

[katway]

Make it stop. Lilly has been as bad as one can be this game -- poor pitching, bunt for an out, can't field....

[E.J.]

Stockton is an idiot.
