NLDS Game 3: Anti-Pythags (Livan) @ Scrubs (OPR) 5PM CST TBS

[JeffH]

It seems almost inevitable that the Cubs will win games 3 and 4, and then lose in 5, becoming the first team down 2-0 to force a game 5 and lose.

 

In heartbreaking fashion.

[Derwood]

I'm furious right now. I cannot believe the pathetic display this team has put on thus far in the playoffs. I really hope Lou breaks his foot off in somebodies ass today.

 

And what makes me even more furious--I still have hope! What the hell!? Why!? Why do I do this to myself!?

 

I think we win both games at wrigley and then all the sudden we go back to Arizona thinking OMG I DONT CARE HOW WE STARTED, WE ONLY HAVE TO WIN ONE GAME AND WE'RE IN THE NLCS. And we'll lose.

 

i can't believe that you can't believe that the Cubs are playing like the Cubs

[soapy]

I really hope Lou breaks his foot off in somebodies ass today.

 

He should probably start with his own (ass).

[justlikethecubs]

undoubtedly we will force a game five, in which lilly will pitch 8 innings, give up 1 er and leave it up to dempster to close it out. We will be up 3-1 and Dempster will give up a 3 run bomb to Micah Owings (pinch hitting) and we will all be very mad, yet sad

[Roast]

True, but most of the blame, in my opinion, still has to go on Soriano/Lee/Ramirez.

Actually, most of the blame should be placed on Ted Lilly.

Ted lilly has nothing to do with losing game 1.

 

Soriano/Lee/Ramirez haven't done crap this entire series.

How the hell are we in the playoffs?

[Brian]

How the hell are we in the playoffs?

 

official petition for game 1 of the regular season next year for you to say "How the hell haven't we lost yet?"

[JeffH]

Can you imagine what it'll be like at Wrigley if Chris Young homers off of Rich Hill to start tomorrow's game?

[Omar]

How would the Brewers have done against the D'backs?

 

Here's how they fared against them this year:

Split           W   L      RS      RA     WP
ARI             5   2      37      18    .714

i am guessing it would get really quiet really fast

Just the opposite, I think. The booing would be LOUD.

i was telling my buddy last night that someone should just call up ned yost and tell him there has been a mistake...the cubs really didn't win the division...no one knows why there are playing in the playoffs...get your team together and take over your rightful place...

Yost would immediately get a reliever up, just from instinct.

Better luck next year you ****ing overpaid bums.

[Dr. Cub]

This team isn't winning another game this year.

How would the Brewers have done against the D'backs?

Yost would immediately get a reliever up, just from instinct.

 

And it would be Chris Spurling.

[otis89]

Ramirez, you have 4 homers and are hitting nearly .400 off Livan. DESTROY HIM.

[rawaction]

should bench Soriano and start Ward and Floyd.

[JeffH]

should bench Soriano and start Ward and Floyd.

 

Floyd-Pie-Jones-DeRosa-Theriot-Fontenot-Ward-Soto

 

Bench the three bums.

 

Hard to believe I'm not a major league manager, huh? :lol:

And for good reason. I hope Wrigley boos the piss out of the Cubs until they play like major leaguers.

 

Don't want to get booed? Don't suck and play like you give a damn.

pornstache Maddux mojo was obviously washed up, time for the man with the biggest mojo of them all to take over.
