5/24 Cubs (Marquis) @ Pirates (Dumatrait) 6:05 WGN

[CubsGM]

lol @ this team. Learn how to win on the road you gimps.

[BCVM22]

No team that has a neon green parrot walking around and making pelvic thrusts at people, video boards that tell fans to make noise and fireworks after a win should ever be allowed to take home a victory.

[17 Seconds]

In a sick way I'm glad they lost, just to shove it up Lou's ass for being such a [expletive]

Soriano deserves an honorable mention.

[BCVM22]

its one game

 

A poorly placed loss with Houston, Milwaukee and St. Louis all winning (yeah, I know the Cards haven't won yet but you know they will, just because), but yes, just one game in May. No panic yet, although Woody blowing it again isn't good at all.

Don't forget Alfonso, and the offense of the 5th to 7th innings.

[BigSlick]

Every game we've lost in this road trip very easily could have been W's

 

horrid

[OleMissCub]

Yeah, that Pirates celebration was just a touch excessive.

[Keener98]

And Theriots noodle ass arm finally costs us a game. Maybe if we would quit playing our better defensive SS at 2nd when he is the game at the same time, the inning wouldnt have happened.

Yeah, but it's not like Ronny has been a SS for most of his career and Ryan has been a 2B.

 

Oh wait...

Mizzou needed 1 win in 2 games (vs 8th seed OU or 1st seed Texas A&M) to make the Big 12 Championship and they lost both. They lost to OU by giving up 2 in the bottom of the 9th, and didn't even show up against A&M today. It's been a fun baseball weekend.

Fireworks after every win! That's what'll draw those fans. Talent on the field? Feh. Where's that Parrot, tell him he's not thrusting enough.

Not like it's Lou's fault for taking the Gold Glove first baseman out of the game, or Blanco's for just not coming up with the ball. Definitely all Theriot on that one.

[Little Slide Rooter]

what a terrible awful deflating loss after coming back heroically to take the lead late

 

still

 

its one game

 

One game that cost me over 4 hours of my life I'll never get back.

[Little Slide Rooter]

I just hope that Satan collects his payment from LaRussa the moment his team wins the World Series.

[Keener98]

Yeah, that Pirates celebration was just a touch excessive.

 

Fireworks after every win! That's what'll draw those fans. Talent on the field? Feh. Where's that Parrot, tell him he's not thrusting enough.

 

And Theriots noodle ass arm finally costs us a game. Maybe if we would quit playing our better defensive SS at 2nd when he is the game at the same time, the inning wouldnt have happened.

 

Not like it's Lou's fault for taking the Gold Glove first baseman out of the game, or Blanco's for just not coming up with the ball. Definitely all Theriot on that one.

Oh Lou definately gets blame for the double switch. However, Lees glove has saved Theriots noodle arm all season. It takes all he has to get the ball over to 1st base. Lee scopes that ball more than likely, but a ML caliber SS makes that routine throw no problem, instead of bouncing it in the first place. There is no excuse for Cedeno not to be at SS when they are both in the game at the same time.

[17 Seconds]

Blame:

 

Soriano- getting picked off

Theriot- error

Wood- blowing save

Lou- being Lou

[Little Slide Rooter]

Theriot has looked like his hot streak is fizzling the past few games. We may see more Ronny. Then again...well, you know.

[17 Seconds]

Theriot has looked like his hot streak is fizzling the past few games. We may see more Ronny. Then again...well, you know.

 

Yeah right. Theriot would to fall down to .250 before Lou even considers making the switch. Theriot's hot start has pretty much guaranteed he'll be there all year.

[OleMissCub]

weeping Jesus on the cross....first the Cubs and now the stupid Rebels are blowing a 6 run lead in the bottom of the ninth inning.....

 

 

Mizzou needed 1 win in 2 games (vs 8th seed OU or 1st seed Texas A&M) to make the Big 12 Championship and they lost both. They lost to OU by giving up 2 in the bottom of the 9th, and didn't even show up against A&M today. It's been a fun baseball weekend.

 

Ewww, that's no fun.

 

I know the feeling. In the last 3 years the Rebels have won the first game of their super regional and weren't able to win 1 of the next 2 games to advance to the World Series.

 

Aaron Crow is a real good pitcher, btw.
