Worst series since 2007 Playoffs, and that somehow didn't hurt me as much as these two did.

Does anyone else think that had this happened in Wrigley, the Soriano play would have led to a fan on the field situation?

[splintersag]

Checked again, still no god.

 

There is. He just has a vengance for the Cubs. Or he might be a Cardinals fan. Explains how they can win with those scrubs

Stupid Soriano and his 2-run HR.

 

All he needs to do... ALL he needs to do, is catch a routine fly ball that he's caught 1,000 times before, and we're all celebrating.

 

Yes, he hit the 2-run homer, but he also cost us the game, so that cancels out, don't you think?

[Butterscup1679666578]

i dont get how an offense can just shut down like this one does. it's annoying.

 

It seems like we always lose a close game or two right after a huge offensive output.

 

This team is not built for October. It's just not.

 

Well, I'd feel a lot better if we weren't throwing Marquis out there every 5 days.

 

It'd also be nice if guys could get their act together on the road.

If you want to look at it that way, fine, but then who would you pin today's loss on? Hrmm?

[rocket]

Are we 9-3 vs. the pirates now? this loss ain't that big of a deal.

Yeah, he got 2 runs. But he also basically allowed 2 runs. The blown HR in the first that he should've caught anyway, and the 9th inning catch (or lack thereof)

The Cubs for scoring fewer runs than the Pirates.

His inability to field and his bush pick off last night don't make up for the homer. I have never seen a guy single-handedly take over a game (in both directions).

3 then. Cause they don't get the last one without him dropping a ball that most of us on here would have caught.

The difference is that he's expected to hit home runs. He shouldn't be congratulated for successfully doing the ONE thing he does well. He gets paid 18 mil a year, so he better hit home runs.

 

Stop acting like it evens out, because it doesn't.

he lost it in the sun, it's not like someone handed it to him. it happens, it's just unfortunate that it happened when it did. go eat some sympathy food and take a break

How dare you blame the whole team for a loss in a team sport.

[sneakypower]

that brings us to a dismal 8 games over

 

seasons over folks

[splintersag]

Yeah, in the long run, it's not that big. But we're overreacting because we just had 2 extra-inning losses to a cupcake team we won't play again until August. And we were a blown HR call (although Rivas might've scored anyway) in the 1st or one easy fly ball catch in the 9th from winning.

 

But really, we are still 8 games over. We should be fine if we can take care of bussiness in September.

 

Let's just hope the Cards lose again. They are tied 1-1 now.

most of the people at nsbb couldn't have caught that ball if you shipped it to them UPS.

if the cubs are still 9 games over .500 everything's cool. we're still getting a ton of baserunners every game, i'm not worried or mad.

He should've made more of an effort, but how can you say that a ball that hit on the back of the top padding up against the metal rail should have been caught?
