6/20 White Sox (Danks) at Cubs (Lilly), 1:20pm, CSN

[David]

Of course Joe Crede makes that play

 

That's why Crede is better than Aramis

 

I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not.

[bcl412]

Is the answer Sosa?

[RegulusBlue]

You would really think Cubs fans would be able to handle the ups and downs of a 162 game season better than this.....

 

Why? We're usually down, that's easy to deal with. Being up is unusual, and it makes us nervous.

 

Valid...makes sense. But to me it's more like, "Wow, we're actually pretty good." I'm more relaxed this year and find myself looking at the big picture a lot more.

 

Not me. I'm more fired up this year than ever. I am pissed even if we're only up by a run or two. I guess I just feel that this is the closest we're ever going to get to having a WS-caliber team, and this is our only chance for another 20 years or so.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Only in the minds of the one White Sox fans. In reality, Crede isn't in the same class as ARam.

 

I will say this again, the Cubs will win this game.

 

 

 

Edit: I see bc, said it was sacrastic. But the point still stands.

Very sarcastic

[Little Slide Rooter]

When the Sox decide to start hitting, they cant be stopped, so if our guys cant get their bats out of their anuses, we could be looking at another sweep.

Yes, we will win without Lee, Aramis, and Fukudome showing up.

Yeah I heard that everyday we were in Tampa.

[PrimeTime]

LOL..How do you strikeout against Lilly..All you do is have to sit back and expect pitches in the 80's

Good. I'm glad I didn't jump the gun and go off on you then.

[RegulusBlue]

I hate the fact that I have lost a lot of faith in this offense over the course of 3 games.

 

Really, I'm mad at myself...I know it's a completely irrational thought. :banghead:

 

Its really not. Most of these players have been part of a terrible offensive lineup for more than a couple of years, and I thought it was more irrational to think they'd all become OBP machines for a whole season after decades of not knowing what the acronym meant.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Very nice bounce back inning for Ted. Good to see he's still on pace to give us 6+ IP.

[splintersag]

Nice inning by Lilly, let's hope he has that early game 80s fastball crap over with.

The time to win the WS is that crapshoot in October. I don't think anyone should be very worried about making it there (and it's quite likely we'll have HFA, too), barring major injuries (in which case, our chances would be significantly diminished anyways).

 

I certainly want to win more games than any team in the National League, but I'm not going to freak when we hit a 4-5 game losing streak (which is almost inevitable over the course of 162 games).

 

I guess I'm beating a dead horse, though.

get rid of it

It seems like we've had a lot of outings with one bad inning and then the rest goes well. The problem recently is that we haven't made up for it on offense

[CubsGM]

WTP

[PrimeTime]

Gahhh..We need Runsssssssssssssssss

[David]

Pat fooled me there. I thought it was gone.

Why, we don't have any pending FA departures and we're still a young ballclub. If anything we'll be even better next season as our young talent develops and we add a pitcher or two.

[Little Slide Rooter]

I wonder if the "heart of our lineup" can make anything happen.

[CubsGM]

No way dude your asking for too much.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

The offense needs to pick it up.

[bcl412]

I hate interleague play
