Re: NLDS Game 1: Dodgers (Lowe) @ Cubs (Dempster) TBS, 5:30 CST

[Coach C]

i'm not sweating this one as a must win, but game two? ohhhh god, i'll have an ulcer by then.

 

Personally, I would have rather this team go to L.A. with a 2-0 lead in the series than 1-1.

you should drive up to chicago and lets all do heroin right in the middle of addison

[big_shooter17]

why not just go to marmol

 

NO reason to show them Marmol when we're trailing. The starter didn't go deep so this is what you get.

 

I know that's the strategy, but it is like waving a white flag.

 

Noit's really not. There is no reason to bring Marmol into this game.

 

Well, I believe that you should put yourself in the best position to win the game and Marmol is the guy that does that.

[Little Slide Rooter]

This sounds weird, but Soriano has played respectable defense

Yeah, he's saved a couple hits, at least compared to what the regular season Soriano would've done.

 

Geez, what's happened to this team? :blink:

 

Hes also saved the Dodgers pitchers from some hits.

[C.C.]

Man this is depressing!

[SpongeWorthy]

Does anyone else want to entertain the possibility that the Dodgers pitchers have come in with little pressure on their shoulders and happened to locate their pitches brilliantly while Dempster and to a lesser extent Shark felt the heat and overthrew?

 

Or is that taboo since Nate Silver hasn't quantified it yet?

[Hairyducked Idiot]

9-20 in Post-WWII playoff games.

 

Seven straight losses.

 

Fun bad.

[98navigator]

I posted in the last regular season game thread that I was concerned with the way the team was playing because it seemed so lackadasical and people said it was no problem. It kinda seems like it was concerning for a reason.

 

So you're here to say "I told you so?" Walking the bases loaded and giving up a grand slam, has nothing to do with playing "lackadaisical" so save that noise.

So you think Marmol should be used in every game of the playoffs? You can't do that.

Does Solomon Torres play for the Dodgers by chance?

[third eye]

Good approach Derrek

[big_shooter17]

If we come back to win this, the series will be won. If not, we must win tomorrow. I feel good about Harden and Lilly.

[Brian]

derrek isn't pressing at all

if there's a game 5, ill be in the LC bleachers so what im sayin is do you wanna do drugs together

[hardcorecubfan]

Look at the bright side , he didn't hit into a DP

[TMan92]

The problem with a team with a history of losing is that the noose gets even tighter tomorrow.

that's what i was just thinking. If we can get a W out of Z tomorrow, i really dont think that they get to Harden/Lilly. I'm making myself feel good again.

[17 Seconds]

Come on, we need 2 baserunners so Soriano can end the game on a k in the dirt.

[Careless]

Gwynn's co-announcers must be wishing he hadn't gained all that weight . look at that booth

[Little Slide Rooter]

I hope Lou does some lineup tinkering tommorow, because as is, not many runs are going to come of it.

[Brian]

Look at the bright side , he didn't hit into a DP

 

i bet you're regretting ignoring your wife

I do in one as important as this. I know that they are all important in the playoffs, but even if it is in a situation where the series is 2-1 or 1-0 for the Cubs, I wouldn't.
