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

Wow. If that just doesn't sum it up.

[CDBears1259]

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.

Yeah that's what I'm saying. And it has everything to do with playing that way especially on the offensive side. Just seems like they thought they could show up and turn it on.

 

Everything ever said bad about the Cubs teams is right because they lost a playoff game.

 

They are losing and you're still wrong.

Whatever makes you feel better.

Nice drive Jimmy

[BCVM22]

Night wouldn't be complete without one of those.

[bhogg]

what the hell? I thought that was long gone. So did Edmonds.

[Outshined_One]

Deep fly ball plus bad camera work plus crowd going nuts?

 

Yep, WTP!

[sneakypower]

ARGH!

[imb]

oh wow that hurts

[bcl412]

lol. Ok I am pretty sure he hit that ball harder than Loney did.

Me too... Too high into the wind I guess.

[AlwaysaCub]

What the hell is Edmonds' problem? So much for that veteran experience. He's lucky that ball didn't get down.

 

What?

[Little Slide Rooter]

Good job by the cameras and announcers giving us false hope. Cubs used up their miracle allowance during the regualr season. They'll have to rely on good play from here on out.

[big_shooter17]

I didn't think it was going out, but then they showed nothing but black sky and it looked like it would bounce off of the scoreboard, but i guess not.

[cubs121]

oh wow that hurts

wait what happened?

[sneakypower]

fake rally

[Andy]

lol. Ok I am pretty sure he hit that ball harder than Loney did.

And Manny. I'm convinced the Wrigley wind hates us. It does this all the damn time.

[17 Seconds]

Wrigley Field is just a depressing scene right now.

 

All those wins in the regular season now mean nothing. Home field advatange is now gone.

 

Wrigley Field is not the issue. The issue is the absence of a [expletive]. Those walks and the inevitable dagger took the air out of everything.

 

No that's not what I'm saying. I'm saying the HFA is gone because of the game 1 loss. Now the Dodgers have HFA

[Little Slide Rooter]

What?

 

Is that you Stockton?

[splintersag]

oh wow that hurts

wait what happened?

Yep, WTP!

[TMan92]

The team that has won game one in the NLDS has won every series in the last two years.

[third eye]

I'm choosing right now to voice my displeasure with the best of 5 first round.

 

Seriously, the NBA realized this was bunk. Even MLB did when they switched the LCS to 7 games.

 

I thought they were trying to figure out ways to reward the teams with the best regular seasons. Not space the LDS series so that teams with fewer wins can line up their best couple of pitchers to dominate a series.

The home run that would have meant we were still probably going to lose died at the track.

And where have the Cubs been playig there best ball as of late? Certainly not at home.
