[Post Count Padder]

stupid ballpark

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Ramirez needed to eat a few more Wheaties...

[Brian]

don't like our chances

[Rob]

That freaking sucks!

 

DeRosa needs to sure up that defense. This could be the second game his faulty glove causes us.

 

too bad lilly became a little girl and couldnt pitch with a huge lead

 

Ummm, that's not exactly the story line of the game. He wasn't good but the defense has been atrocious and the bullpen porous.

 

Lilly gave up 7 hits and 2 walks (with only one strikeout) in 3.2 IP.

 

No extra baserunners reached because of the defense... they advanced a bit more quickly, but they were on anyways. Lilly was pretty much terrible.

Man even Lee's mojo is gone. What a disastrous game. If we want to win the division we have to lock up these winnable games. I know it sounds obvious, but its apparently not obvious for the Cubs.

 

I've said it before and I'll say it again...

 

The games in April count every bit as much as the games in September. If we're a game out in Sept we can look back to this game as one of those games that should have been won.

[C.C.]

I think our offense is done for the day.

Pirates will win this one in regulation.

Its not humane to allow people to become fans of this team

I think our offense is done for the day.

 

Not until Geovany Soto says so...

[illiniguy]

man you have to beat the Pirates if you score 8 runs.

Yep. Bottom 9th. I have no doubt.

[WrigleyinEngland]

Whatever the score in this game or any other this season there can be no doubt that no team in the world(yes the world) of sports is as maddening and infuriating as this team. Some teams suck , some teams are great, this team is a heart attack for 6 months.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Yeah, the defense has been bad, the bullpen has been bad, but Lilly not getting out of the fifth in a game he was spotted a 7-run lead fully makes him the goat.

 

Had Lilly not suddenly turned into Mr. Suckass, then the bullpen would have been saved an inning or two and we would likely still have the lead.

i just went over to baseball reference and you know what i was shocked to find out? No team that has started the season 3-4 has EVER made the playoffs. In fact, back in 1898, the Indianapolis Browns lost four out of their first seven games and the entire team died of polio. If we dont win this, we might as well start the countdown for football season.

Yeah...Wheaties :wink: :wink:

Lilly with a 12.27 ERA and 2.45 WHIP today

Yep. Bottom 9th. I have no doubt.

 

Nor do I. It will be with two outs and a runner on second, and it will be a blooper.

Yep. Bottom 9th. I have no doubt.

 

i'll go with a run here in the bottom half and then cubs go 1,2,3 in the top of the ninth.
