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

[CDBears1259]

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

Me too. I've never been one to take comfort in being able to say, " hey at least we lost to the NL champ/SB champ/NBA champ/LA HS FB state champ or whatever champ."

[illiniguy]

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.

 

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

except odds are we won't be in it.

Dempster in to pitch for the CUBS

[TMan92]

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.

 

Every blatantly awful call for a strike has show up on the edge.

[CUBZ99]

As Brian Anderson would say.... The Cubs are within Grand Slam range.

all it takes is one game to turn it around.

 

gotta get something out of Hill.

 

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.

 

didn't we say this about tonight/davies?

 

also, this team is very tough at home. really?

One win at home. Then big Z in Game 4. You'd take your chances in Game 5 right?

 

I mean, the worm has to turn right? EVERY break has gone AZ way so far.

Davis has great numbers against the Cubs. I did not buy that this was a gimme for one minute.

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

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.

Silly cardinal fan. we don't get breaks. 98 years and all.

In '98 we got smoked by a very good Atlanta team. Getting beat by this team sucks. Sorry. I don't care how scrappy they are, team like this can slump quickly.

You would hope. They aren't technically eliminated if they lose, but they'll have to play alot better to have a chance to beat this team 3 in a row.

the yankee-indians game, they plotted one pitch as being high and on the inside corner, and it was on the outer half of the plate. My friend and I were cracking up about that.

IDK, my BFF, Augie!?

[Faceman]

no game is a gimme.

 

I'm just saying that I believe in momentum, and it's only as good as the next game pitchers.

 

If Hill can be good at home, it's a series again.

 

The problem is that Lilly looked like [expletive] tonight, and would go game 5 right?

 

What if the Cubs win Game 3 - do you consider going Marquis in 4, on a short lease? Big Z for Game 5?

Young struck out swinging

Sorry, just tired of all the Soto talk. He has been playing all series and the Cubs are still getting it handed to them. Apparently, he is not the saviour that everybody believes he is.

[CDBears1259]

While it sucked for the Cubs, I gotta admit Lilly's reaction to that Young HR was priceless.
