DB's Reds (Arroyo) vs Cubs(Lilly) 7/10/08 1:20 P.M. WGN (TV)

[CubsNSkers07]

What a disgusting score to come home from work and see, at least the Cards lost, but the Brewers gained a game boooooooo! SWEEP THE GIANTS OR ELSE! actually please just take 2 of 3.

[UMFan83]

A tad disapointing but these days happen from time to time. Lilly sucking would bother me more if he was still our number 2 or number 3 starter.

[bcl412]

I hope the Reds take this offense to Milwaukee.

[bcl412]

No luck for us today.

[Soul]

I hope the Reds take this offense to Milwaukee.

 

Nah, they like to save it for us. But we got 2 from them this time. Eat it Cincy, you still suck.

[C.C.]

Oh well we took the series...

[TruffleShuffle]

brewers gained a game... we are screwed.

[CubsBears29]

Season's over. Pack it up, boys.

[CubsBears29]

I need something to help soothe the pain of this loss today...

Ahhh... that's a little better.

[Little Slide Rooter]

I guess our pitching staff was due for a bit of a meltdown sooner or later. Hopefully, its out of there system and we can take 3, or at least 2 if we face Linecum from the Giants. At least the offense did its thing.

i hate losing to dusty baker's reds :x

I'm sure everybody would agree with you, but at least we took 2 out of 3. What could have been worse was the Cobs getting swept by the Reds.

[CubsNSkers07]

It's not all that bad, I mean at least the Cardinals lost again, we should be able to take 2 of 3 from the Giants and keep the 4 game lead going into the all star break if not bump it up to 5 games on the Brewers if the Reds decide to play there. But the Brewers are very good at home as well 30-15 I believe. I'd love for Dusty to win 2 games against the Brewers though.

The Brewers must run into Volquez as we missed him, so thats promising.

Agreed and he is going against seth Mcclung, so he should Key word Should beat him. That should give at least one win. And if C.C. is wild again like he was against the Rockies look for a few power hitters on the Reds to hopefully capitalize and not choke like jayson nix did twice with the bases loaded.

 

It'd be very good if they could take 2 of 3, but the Cubs have to control their own destiny. Last year the Brewers didn't do that and look what happened the Cubs took the Central, we can't do the same thing the Brewers did last year.

 

This Cubs team is very good though and can win every single series (yes even on the road). This weekend we need to take 2 of 3 from San Fran and winning 3 is very possible although Cain and Linceicum are very good pitchers.

 

But the big thing is going to be the first 10 games after the all star break. 6 road games followed up by a 4 game set vs the Marlins who we are 0-9 against in our last 9 games against them dating back to the 03 NLCS i believe.

[Soul]

Eh, I'm not worried about today. The Reds are that kind of team, they suck suck suck then they explode on someone.

 

Actually I remember those days with the Cubs.

 

2/3 ain't bad, to quote Meatloaf.

 

Just take the Giants series and enjoy the All Star break. That's all we've got to do.

[killthegoat06]

I thought Gaudin was really good after the homer. I'm excited to see him pitch again.

[gflore34]

2 out 3 at bad, I'll be satisfied with the same against the Giants. Does anyone else despise Jerry Hairston Jr. as I do? All he did as a Cub was that foot tapping nonsense while being an automatic out, goes to Reds and lights it up.

[Little Slide Rooter]

The fact is, were still 4 games in first, in argueably the most competitve division in the league, and thats after going through a hell stretch in which we went over .500.

Breaking news:

 

Adam Dunn's homer has just landed.

My bachelor party is this Saturday so if anyone can get this girl to come out to Indy with us that'd be great. Thanks.

1 of 3 at Wrigley is better than a lot of teams have done.
