9/2 Astros (Backe) v Cubs (Z!) 7:05 WGN

[Andy]

At least we're still up 4.5. I guess.

 

This team is pissing me off.

[CubsBears29]

Aramis is as likeable as a fielder these last few innings, as Lee has been likeable as a hitter for quite a while.

[David]

Now I'm starting to seriously worry about this team.

 

 

You would've been worried if they lost this game which becomes a virtual coinflip in extra innings but not if they had won?

[Little Slide Rooter]

Just one thing had to go differently for this game to be won. But no.

 

Like Bob Howry not being in it.

[BCVM22]

Geoff Blum. Who called that?

 

Me a long time ago.

 

And me.

[Ski]

Unless it's a blowout, I can't pull myself away from the game.

[Joe_Cub]

doom gloom disaster

[Mizzou]

Well this loss is on our number three hitter.

[erik316wttn]

I hate this team right now.

 

I'm not saying I always have, or I always will. I don't care about the record or anything else. Right now, at this moment (11:06 pm Central time) I detest the 2008 Chicago Cubs. But, that will surely change.

Good thing we didn't bunt last inning.

 

Bunting doesn't guarantee a win.

[ChiCubsFan]

Good thing we didn't bunt last inning.

 

Seriously. Please stop. Alfonso freakin Soriano has probably never once laid down a sacrifice bunt in his lifetime.

[TMan92]

Let's put a cherry on top and have Wood's arm fall off.

[BCVM22]

Well this loss is on our number three hitter.

 

L - D. Lee (0-1)

[Guest]

Well this loss is on our number three hitter.

 

Just on him?

[inari]

OK i'm starting to panic

 

That makes two of us. I'm absolutely expecting a collapse now.

[Ski]

Just one thing had to go differently for this game to be won. But no.

 

Like Bob Howry not being in it.

Or D Lee getting a run in with the bases loaded.

 

Or Edmonds getting a run in with the bases loaded.

 

Or Scoring the leadoff walk in the ninth.

 

Or getting a run in with 2 on no out in the 10th.

[Magnetic Curses]

i thought we had a rotation of streak stoppers, after tomorrow we'll be winless through a full rotation.

[rynefan]

I don't like losing.

[Little Slide Rooter]

Well this loss is on our number three hitter.

 

I wouldnt be opposed to Hoffpauir starting at 1st tommorow. And if he does well, the next game, and so on.

[SpongeWorthy]

Worst regular season loss since the Brant Brown game if this holds up.

 

(Well, probably not but I am pissed off.)

[David]

This is where I start throwing at everyone's head in MLB2kX

[BCVM22]

4-game losing streak in our penultimate homestand.

[JonnyRed]

Now I'm starting to seriously worry about this team.

 

Yeah, I hear ya...even with a loss, the Cubs are still 31 games over 500, firmly in first place with the best record in the NL...Definite panic time.

[inari]

Now I'm starting to seriously worry about this team.

Yep.

[rocket]

Worst regular season loss since the Brant Brown game if this holds up.

 

(Well, probably not but I am pissed off.)

 

not even close.
