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

[kujay]

Wait what? Sportsline just showed me the Ramirez out. The Cubs are done for the inning??

 

YES. Groundout to pitcher and lazy flyout to CF.

[Little Slide Rooter]

That Brewers pen is some kind of dominant against us. I guess New York is as good a place to clinch as any.

Yea, only took 4 pitches.

[UMFan83]

9 pitches to retire 6 Cubs when it took 38 pitches to retire the Brewers in the first.

[apete6]

OK, I'll say it. Fukuslam coming off Gagne later this inning.

or a 4 pitch inning

 

Yes. That's what I meant. My bad. This is starting to get pretty damn ugly. If Hurricane Ike didn't gift wrap 2 wins for us, we could be in trouble.

[UMFan83]

Seriously, I'm getting really concerned about the offense and their extended hitting slump.

 

The last time I felt the offense was going well was during the 2nd game of the Pittsburgh series, only 19 games ago

[jersey cubs fan]

5 pitch inning

 

 

bring back the patience. Brewers have thrown 71 pitches through 6 innings.

 

find me a dead horse

[Cynosure]

Cameron flies out to Soriano in left field.

 

None on, 1 out.

[ChiCubsfan0502]

1-7 in our last 8 home games if we don't win.

winner for most ridiculous game thread post of the day?

[Cynosure]

Durham grounds out to DeRosa at 2nd base.

 

None on, 2 outs.

[Master Shake]

I'm getting worried about the pitching. Zambo may be back, but Marquis didnt help us, and HArden looks like he may turn out to be a bust., and the pen just out and out sucks.

 

I fear its gonna be a short postseason for us again.

[Cynosure]

Braun grounds out to Ramirez at 3rd.

 

INNING OVER

[UMFan83]

1-7 in our last 8 home games if we don't win.

 

32-8 in our first 40 home games

20-18 in our last 38 home games.

Wow, they just had their own 60-second inning.

 

Maybe the bottom of the order will get the fake rally rolling!

[wekse]

randy wells should probably take harden's place in the rotation

You're right, if those 3 games were in Houston with no Hurricane, we would have won at least 2 :banghead:

 

The lead is going to be 6 after today and if we would have lost 2/3 in Houston, it would have been, what, 4.5 with 10 to play, including the last 7 on the road vs. playoff teams. But, you're right, a ridiculous comment. :roll:

Might wanna put that in green text before people jump down your throat! ;)

But then I wouldn't be able to see your posts if they did.

The lead will be 7 and 8 in the loss column.

It's a game thread, probably not.

 

I'd imagine there's been something about Rich Harden's vagina, outlandish things about Ronny Cedeno, Michah Hoffpauir, and how Edmonds needs to break out of his slump.

[Cynosure]

Soto flies out to Hart in right field.

 

None on, 1 out.
