Ted Lilly and his 85mph crap sucks.

I think around the end of May I was thinking about how I had forgotten what a frustrating time the Cubs could be. Now I remember.

[17 Seconds]

Lilly is garbage and he has been all year. I still say Hendry should try and add one more pitcher because Marquis and Lilly absolutely stink.

 

Uh, sorry but you have no idea what you're talking about. Lilly had those 4 bad starts to begin the year (when his velocity was still down) but has been great since then. He's 9-3 with a 3.82 ERA in 16 starts since then.

[17 Seconds]

Eff it, I don't even care. These morons deserve to be embarrassed. Another Cubs collapse.

Collapse? They had a 1-0 lead, hardly a collapse

 

I'm talking about the season.

[Magnetic Curses]

let's predict how the cubs go down in order next inning.

 

i'm saying: strikeout, strikeout, flyball to center.

 

9 pitches.

[BigSlick]

I'd prefer it if the Cubs just forfeited every away game the rest of the season and gave themselves days off the rest of the way

 

Less painful for me

[bcl412]

Streaks like these make me wonder why when I picked a favorite MLB team I had to pick the Cubs.

[RonnieWooWooSanto]

Nice series guys. How the hell do you let Clark beat you?

 

54 abs against the Cubs coming into tonight and he has a .951 ops

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Well that's even worse for you then.

[erik316wttn]

With being 20 games over .500 as early as we were, there was NO reason at all, NONE whatsoever that this team couldn't win 95 games. Now that number seems so far away.

[CubsBears29]

God, what's worse??

 

2006 - or - 2008?

 

Knowing from almost the start that the year was gonna be pure hell - or - being (or at least acting like) the best team in baseball in the first half, only to limp in as the WC (if make it at all)? AND knowing that the team can't win on the road, so will most likely get swept or lose 3-1 in the NLDS again.

Tell me what his seaon numbers are again. How many homers has this junk baller given up? It's you who has no idea what they are talking about.

[Alien11]

I predict: single, single, DP, fly out 13 pitches

[RedFlash]

Only the Cubs can make being 16 games over .500 not be safe.

[UMFan83]

Well it is our 7-8-9 hitters. DeRosa, Reed against a righty, Lilly.

[Hall7810]

If Rich Hill allowed runners to steal like that, Lou would run out to the mound and rip the ball from his hand.

[Guest]

It's a shame today is the season finale, I wouldn't have known if I hadn't entered today's game thread.

[UMFan83]

Only the Cubs can make being 16 games over .500 be depressing.

 

fixed

We haven't been a good team for awhile now. Its not just since the all-star break.

Curt Schilling allowed a lot of home runs. That isn't the best way to judge a pitcher.

[erik316wttn]

Do they still play the blues in Chicago

when baseball season rolls around?

When the snow melts away, do the Cubbies still play

in their ivy-covered burial ground?

When I was a boy, they were my pride and joy

But now they only bring fatigue

To the home of the brave, the land of the free,

And the doormats of the National League.

[UMFan83]

Well come on, no one wants to play a 1 game playoff with the Brewers tomorrow when we can just win it outright today.

[Mizzou]

Sabathia just completed the shutout.

[CubsBears29]

3-0 final in StL, MIL wins.

 

Hello divisional lead tie, at about 11:45p CST.
