9/18 Brewers (Bush) at Cubs (Harden), 1:20 CT, CSN

[Little Slide Rooter]

So was Harden pulled for anything other than pitch count before our generous bullpen coughed up the lead and probably the game?

[TMan92]

Szamarlkdsaflksdf is 2008's Kevin Hart.

[Derwood]

Tie game. What in the hell is wrong with Jeff? Also DeRosa's fault big time

 

Whats wrong with Jeff? He's an inexperienced starting pitcher thrust into a setup role for a contender.

 

Whose defense failed him.

 

wait wait wait, didn't you guys decry me when I booed Cedeno on that Kerry Wood blown save, saying it was Wood's fault for allowing the base runners, not Cedeno's for booting the DP ball?

[Cynosure]

Durham singles through the hole into right field, Lamb scores.

 

Man on 1st & 3rd, 2 outs.

 

3-2 Brewers leading.

 

How the hell can't the Cubs ever do anything with 2 outs?

 

Don't they have the best avg with RISP and 2 outs in baseball?

 

If they do, it doesn't seem like it.

[kujay]

Randy Wells?

[UMFan83]

We picked a bad time to face the Brewers, they had been slumping offensively for 3 weeks and were due to break out. Meanwhile we have been mostly struggling offensively for some time and I guess haven't broken out yet.

[ChiCubsfan0502]

If we don't win this game, it will be 1-7 in our last home games. PATHETIC!

So do you think Shark is pitching his way out of Lou's postseason thoughts? Just wondering. He hasn't been very good lately. Granted there was an error today but I wondered what everyone thought.

[Cynosure]

Wells relieves Samardzija.

That's because normally even if your the best, you're only getting hits 29-30% of the time.

[TysonCBulls423]

just wanted to drop by and say you guys still make me laugh!

[wekse]

cobs are going to miss the playoffs LoL.

I was thinking about that the other day. I'm not sure if we have any better options, but I wouldn't be comfortable using him in a playoff game right now.

[Little Slide Rooter]

I just hope Samardzia didnt cancel his previous October plans.

I kinda hope he is. Even when he was "doing well" I didn't buy into him being a contributor. He has great stuff, but not much control over it. I really hope he spends the entire year in AAA next year unless he's dominating.

[PrimeTime]

3-0 Awesome

[Cynosure]

Another umpire that needs a suspension without pay.

[kujay]

WHERE WAS THAT? This is ridiculous...

[SouthSideRyan]

Here's the other shoe.

[Butterscup1679666578]

Lou's managing of the pen has somehow been worse this past week or two than I can remember.

[PrimeTime]

Jesus Christ

[UMFan83]

cobs are going to miss the playoffs LoL.

 

Luckily the Cubs will still get in.

[Cynosure]

Hardy walks (1).

 

BASES LOADED, 2 outs.

 

5-2 Brewers lead.

[Cynosure]

Hart flies out to Fukudome in right field.

 

INNING OVER

 

Brewers take the lead 5-2.

[UMFan83]

Dammit DeRosa. I know a lot of other stuff went wrong. But its still 2-1 if he makes that play.
