Hooray for fake rallies!!

[weatherdood]

I predict we get nothing here.

 

dexter??? dextermorgan??? Is that you?

No, Im just as bad at reverse jinxing as the Cobs are at hitting with baserunners on.

 

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh. I see...

[Ski]

Sure Dero, ground into a double play against someone with a 6 ERA in AAA. Real nice.

 

I predict the Astros score 3 here. Unfreakin believeable. I'm going to stop getting exciting for theses fake rallies.

geez

[B Hand]

Uh Oh, Z out

[weatherdood]

Uh oh

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 44-33 when they GIDP.... 41-20 when they don't

CUBS have GIDP'd 34 times in their last 31 games.... their opponents have GIDP'd 11 times

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[E.J.]

Bleh. Howry in.

Over/under how many GIDPs the Cubs hit with runner on 1st and 3rd/bases loaded for the rest of the year? I'm betting 25.

[B Hand]

WHY HOWRY???? Why not Goooze?

[TruffleShuffle]

after this game thread, i might just want to count how many posters AREN'T on my foes list.

 

What's hard to understand that some of us get frustrated as hell with this nonsense? Look, this is baseball, I don't approach it with the 100% logical common-sense approach I do with my professional life. I see Carlos Zambrano walk Michael Bourn and I start hopping around like a chimpanzee. I see our "ace" melt down at the worst possible time, I get agitated.

 

as patton oswalt said about reality tv, "You go out and deal with dickheads and morons all day and you come home, and go “I just want to go home so I can watch dickheads and morons on TV."

 

well, i follow the cubs and chat about the game in my spare time, and i prefer that my spare time not be occupied by dickheads and morons.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Last time the CUBS hit 3 GIDP in a game.... Thur 21 Aug 08 in a 3-2 win over Cincinnati at Wrigley

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[third eye]

Well as long as baseless predictions are in vogue, I predict a big inning late in the game from the Cubs. Plenty of baserunners, and I dont see this string of "non-clutchiness" continuing.

[inari]

Howry? Barf.

[weatherdood]

CUBS have GIDP'd 34 times in their last 31 games.... their opponents have GIDP'd 11 times

 

 

Go CUBS !!

 

34-11??? :(

[17 Seconds]

Zambrano hurt now? Yeha, forgive me for saying that it feels like this season is falling apart

[Guest]

Yeah, that sounds like Z was lifted for injury. But odd that it'd take to later in the inning to pull him.

[weatherdood]

Mets with the first two batters on in the 6th

[Vinestal]

Howry? Barf.

Apparently Lou doesnt mind if we give up more runs here. Howry *puke*

[Andy]

Bob Howry to the rescue.

[weatherdood]

LOL... Bob Howry everyone.

[inari]

This is so sad.

[Joe_Cub]

great
