Thanks DBags

[CubsBears29]

Lilly tells CY, "Don't try to imitate the master."

[erik316wttn]

Yes....we're going to find a way to lose this one after all. I knew they'd pull through.

 

Losing is what this team does best. After all, they have a reputation to uphold.

seriously?

 

Um....

 

You ARE aware of this team's history, right? Do you need a refresher?

By this team you mean the team that is 16 games over .500? Yeah, I do need a refresher, since when is losing "what they do best"?

 

And what reputation? I'm so sick and tired of the "this is the cubs" woe is me crap. It's a slump, they'll get out of it, calm down.

 

1969

1984

2003

Last year....

 

Do I need to go on? Are you honestly telling me the Cubs don't have a reputation for losing?

 

One half-season does NOT even begin to erase 100 years of failure.

[Guest]

Wow, that just looked awkward and ugly. Thank goodness Aramis looks to be not hurt.

 

That's how to eff up a runner at third and 1 out and a runner at second and 2 outs.

[Guest]

Nice try Chris Young.

[Soul]

LOL that was.........very cubbish.

[VanceJergins]

When did you start following the Cubs?

Once again. THIS team refers to 2008 no?

 

No, it refers to the Cubs franchise.

[UMFan83]

Wow, the Dbacks are stupid. They took advantage of some aggressive baserunning, which is good, but they really took it too far. They've already made 2 outs on the basepaths on a pickoff and agressive run home, and they were picked off another time earlier in the game but didn't get caught.

[Sammy Sofa]

And now they botch a rundown.

What?

 

You do realize a rundown has taken way too long when the batter makes it to 2nd, right?

[inari]

Hey look, if you throw him a curveball, he doesn't crush doubles.

 

JoBu could not help him hit the curve ball.

[Alien11]

Hahahahaha. Young thought another try would be good with an already paranoid Lilly.

2004 and some other years belong in there too.

They've caught Cub-itis.

 

It's been known to be fatal to a season.

[TMan92]

Come on Aram...break out of this.

[Careless]

And now they botch a rundown.

What?

When it's soto and ramirez and a runner with decent speed, your odds of getting that right aren't very good

[Hall7810]

This zone is crap.

[inari]

Definitely not used to seeing Rammy's average at .267.

Well when in a game thread of all places, I would expect "this" team to refer to the 2008 team. I think we all know about their past failures.

Rundowns should really only take two throws if it's done right.

[Soul]

I have not seen ARam swing and miss like this. Ever. He's missing meatballs now.

[CubsBears29]

One ball that Aramis would have got out to LF, and of course its a foul.

[InconspicuousZ28]

A-Ram gets the charity base hit.

This year's team's history of a winning record(and best record in the NL)? Or Lou's team's histories of winning records? Or something stupid like the franchise's history...of winning records?

Give the man a hit.

[haubrich91]

BASE HIT FOR RAMMY!
