NLDS Game 2: Dodgers (Billingsley) @ Cubs (Z!) TBS, 8:30 CST

[daske17]

This is the same team that led the league in walks this year, right?

 

Hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate

[splintersag]

If the Cubs lose this series, it may be time for a fire sale. Dump the vets, build up a young team, etc. Follow the Florida Marlins strategy.

 

Just implode the team.

I blame the moron Lou for this. We should have been facing the Mets but he wanted to go to NY and win games from a slumping team. People were warning about the Dodgers but some didn't listen, now we're screwed.

Do they still play the blues in Chicago

when baseball season rolls around

When the snow melts away

do the Cubbies still play

in their ivy-covered burial ground....

[C.C.]

Billingsly looking like Cy Young tonight,

 

Duh!

[Little Slide Rooter]

Billingsly looking like Cy Young tonight,

 

If you were to dig up Cy Youngs corpse, it would probably look like Cy Young against these guys.

[17 Seconds]

what sucks next year is we have a declining Sori, Dlee, and Ram.

 

exactly. This was the year, the window is shrinking. This team is old. Lee is declining rapidly, Soriano is going to start declining soon, and we got never-going-to-happen-again seasons from Edmonds, Dempster, Theriot, and Derosa. The window was now and they blew it.

Steve Goodman is one of the lucky ones. He doesn't have to sit through this disaster.

But Soriano is under contract for 8 more years!

[Post Count Padder]

I know it's early in the game, but at the rate both teams are playing, does it appear the Cobs can win this?

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Billingsly looking like Cy Young tonight,

 

He'd make my top-10 ballot.

 

If the Cubs were being spotted 1.5 runs to begin every playoff game, they'd *still* be about to complete an eight-game losing streak.

Nope, they're going to give 4/48 to Dempster so he can put up a 4.50 ERA

[erik316wttn]

those who don't believe in anything should believe in something now. you can't tell me that there isn't something strange at work, here, and there always has been.

 

you can't hide behind the "bad decisions of a poor organization" crap anymore.

 

 

 

I have to agree here.

 

I believe that in a former life I must have been a murderer or something and as punishment I was reincarnated as a Cubs fan because God hates me.

So the media will be a fun read tomorrow

And he'd play better defense too.

[The Voice of Reason]

"This is what it's all about. This is why you play, and this is what defines what kind of team you are. All the questions you've asked all year are going to be answered here in the next couple of weeks."

 

Jim Edmonds

 

 

Are the Cubs for real Jim?

 

No.

[anabiono]

i am pretty much in total disbelief...

 

that has to be one of the crappiest innings of defensive baseball that i have ever seen in my life

 

thanks for the memories cubs

 

whoops...guess that one isn't covered in the filter

 

DAMMIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What a bunch of gutless punks. Does this team not have any pride in themselves?

[Omar]

I will abandon the media for the next 48 hours... and probably a couple months after.

Again! We blew it in 2003, when we had the best 1-2 punch in baseball. It's a never ending cycle.

[Moises a loo]

See, this is what makes baseball such a great game. You just never know what's going to happen.

[Shilzzz]

everything has gone the cubs way this year.

 

huge comebacks, great seasons by players who should be subs, a rip off trade... the cubs were able to rest zambrano and harden midseason. the cubs EVEN HAD THE ABILITY TO PLAY WHO THEY WANTED IN THE FIRST ROUND.

 

all that and then this.

 

i have a dying grandfather and this is what i subject myself to? eff that. die cubs. just die.

Oh with the Cubs you know, you just know.

[imb]

i honestly can't even think straight right now

 

i feel like i got dumped or something (i'm really sexy and have never been dumped so im just guessing there)

Just like they always have, and just like they always will.

 

I was a fool for getting my hopes up this season. Never again though. I don't care if the Cubs win 145 games next year. I won't believe they can even get past the 1st round of the playoffs.
