5/21 Cubs (Gallagher) @ Astros (Chacon) 7:05CT CSN

[17 Seconds]

Most pathetic offensive showing of the season.

[BCVM22]

Do you suppose the team is disappointed at allowing Chris Sampson and Shawn Chacon to shut them down on consecutive nights?

If Ramirez walks, I'm so glad it will be Hoffpauir and not Soto coming up...

Given the pitchers that started each game, I stand by my statement.

Ok Ok....I will admit im overreacting and REALLY irritated with the fact that we just lost 2/3 to Houston........forgive me

Haven't we only won 1 road series this year? (Swept Pirates)

 

Yes sir.

 

So once we come back down to earth at Wrigley, we're in some deep crap.

 

 

Or once we catch fire on the road we will really run away with things. You could look at it either way.

 

This is the Cubs. Always expect the worst option, but hope for the best. It's less painful that way.

 

My way is a much more enjoyable outlook on life, but take whichever suits you.

I fail to understand why anyone swings at his splitter. It's a strike about 1 of every 5 times he throws it.

If Soto heard you say that, he'd kill you using only his pinky finger.

Ball four. Hit the ball really damn hard, Hoff-power.

[CubsGM]

Where is Soriano?

Having the tying run at the plate is very overrated.

I fail to understand why anyone swings at his splitter. It's a strike about 1 of every 5 times he throws it.

 

Because it is hard to recognize coming out of the pitcher's hand?

[erik316wttn]

Ball four. Hit the ball really damn hard and over the fence, Hoff-power.

 

Fixed.

[Outshined_One]

Here comes the splitter.

[Mugged By Fluffy]

Anyone else find it weird how West always calls strikes on check swings behind home plate? It's like he rarely lets the catcher appeal.

 

Come on! If Joe allowed a catcher to appeal every check-swing it could add an extra

20 seconds to the game. Selig would never allow that.

As well you should. One is the NL ERA leader. The other is Shawn Chokeon

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Swing three inches lower than where you think you should.

 

If only it were that easy...

[CubsGM]

Where is Soriano?

I'm sure he would have done something.

[genbar]

Geo, I dare you to put one in the Crawford boxes.

[17 Seconds]

Great, now we have to beat Harrison Ford tomorrow to avoid a 3 game losing streak.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Ball game.

 

It's all over for our first place club. We suck to high heavens. All is lost.

[CubsGM]

Where is Soriano?

I'm sure he would have done something.

thnx

[splintersag]

Game over.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

I'm really glad I didn't bite on the "50 bucks we don't score again" bet.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

I hate losing these games, but as long as we're still in first, I'm not going to kick the dog over it.
