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

[JeffH]

Hoffpaur wouldn't have worked there. Not at all.

 

:-"

 

Hoffpauir's bat is Todd Hundley slow.

 

A Valverde-Hoffpauir AB would have been over very quickly.

[WilcoFan]

well, the bunt obviously worked out great, so we know who is right.

 

 

Nice Dusty Baker hindsight argument. Well played.

[Guest]

Does Valverde throw anything besides fastballs?

 

No reason to.

[Outshined_One]

Ugh.

[Ski]

Even with the current 3 game losing streak, Cubs still have a 99.75% chance of making the playoffs. I doubt that will drop much after today's lost.

[Andy]

I hate the Astros.

[inari]

Concede tomorrow's game to give the bullpen some extra rest and then go beat the crap out of the Reds.

[rynefan]

As much as I love Wrigley Field, I am glad I am not there right now

[Little Slide Rooter]

The soap has been dropped, and dropped hard.

[E.J.]

LOL. Your team is out of the playoffs and you put on a showing like that on the mound. What a joke.

[Derwood]

that was neat

[Ski]

Worst loss of the season.

[Careless]

well, the bunt obviously worked out great, so we know who is right.

 

 

Nice Dusty Baker hindsight argument. Well played.

There was also the foresight, the statistics, and the fact that it's bloody stupid to bunt with Dero when you've got what'shisface batting next

[IowaCubsFan]

Great time for a four-game losing streak, ladies.

 

It's sure going to get easier when you have to go TO Houston and St. Louis next week.

[E.J.]

I wish bad things for the Astros. Why do they have our number this season?

[Sammy Sofa]

I love watching Valverde. He is an artiste.

[Magnetic Curses]

i have a feeling that i may have personally doomed the cubs into losing every game for the rest of their existence. sorry.

it's better than any argument you pooped out on that last page.

[David]

I think they think they're alive for the wild card

[JeffH]

If ours is the best team in the NL, this has to be the weakest season in senior circuit history.

[Old Style]

DAMNIT! Should have won this one. I hate the [expletive] Astros.

 

:banghead:

[CubsBears29]

Tired of the "welp, didn't lose any ground" mantra.

 

We SHOULD have won this game. Ugh!

That's okay. You tried to criticize and you were wrong. Buck up and keep shooting for that rainbow.

[Little Slide Rooter]

I want Jose Valverde beaten with a rubber hose.

 

a wet towel

a hamer

and a few other things

 

 

I really wish he would pull a Gramatica and pull a muscle when he celebrates. That would be hilarious.

 

Just too bad that hit ball he took to the noggin wasnt hit hard enough to do any damage.

[Flames24Rulz]

Eh, well that was frustrating. Could've easily rolled over and died in the 6th, but we fought. Too bad Lee decided to be a rally killer once again.

 

At least the Brewers lost. Please salvage one of these three tomorrow.
