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

[weatherdood]

Has a team ever come back down 0-2 in the DS? Which ones?

'84 Padres!

 

That was the NLCS... and in any case... they played 3 in a row at home to come back..

 

It's not happening this year, folks

[JimSorgi]

Z is taunting us now by being lights out.

I don't see how you can blame him.

I've seen the 1984 Padres, I've known the 1984 Pades...Sir these 2008 Cubs are not the 1984 Padres!

Z threw one bad pitch this game and it shouldn't have been thrown because we should've been out of the inning already.

Z is taunting us now by being lights out.

 

Well of course he is.

 

And now the offense will taunt us by putting runners in scoring position with less than two out in numerous innings and not scoring a one of them.

'03 red sox.

It's never happening, folks

 

Fixed for historical accuracy.

[Mugged By Fluffy]

Every playoff appearance it is something. Every single one has some kind of disaster. I cant take this anymore.

He got tons of groundballs in the 2nd too, he was lights out then too.

Bah, they just need to get a couple of runs and they'll be fine. Please, they have 7 chances left.

 

First year?

 

I just know to many Red Sox fans that would get super depressed about the Yankees every year. If I want to be depressed, I'll switch the the VP debate.

[ChiCubsFan]

How many times have we scored 5+ runs in an inning this year? We got 7 innings to do it in. I know we've been playing like [expletive] but its possible.

[rocket]

the cubs should think about scoring a run this inning.

 

i was listening to the 2nd inning in the car on the way home, i'm seriously amazed i didn't crash my car in a fit of pure rage. this team is so annoying.

 

i hope dero, lee, and theriot burn in hell

[Little Slide Rooter]

The frusterating part is I get the feeling that we take the next 2 in LA before the Dodgers win game 5 back here.

[erik316wttn]

we have to make billingsley throw a lot of pitches.

 

It doesn't matter anymore. They could put Mattingly out there on the mound for the rest of the game and the Cubs would still lose.

[cubscausestress]

seriously, this is a game that none of us can control. getting upset over things we can't control is ridiculous. yet, we let ourselves do it everytime.

 

this is the definition of insanity. these are grown men, paid millions of dollars to play the game of baseball. oh, the distractions.

[Yanksfan1523]

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

 

 

This made me feel as if I was writing in a Yankees game thread.

[Omar]

I'm gonna go find some vicodin.

[questionmarkgrace]

I give z credit for remaining pretty calm. maybe, hopefully, he'll jack one out in this coming inning. Cause we need a spark bad.

The Dodgers should forfeit the rest of their at-bats to minimize the chances of injury. They need to be healthy for the NLCS.

Dude, we are not playing the freaking Pirates or the Reds. This is the playoffs. We are done!

He got tons of groundballs in the 2nd too, he was lights out then too.

 

Z wasnt the problem here. He could have gotten out with 0 runs, 1 at the most.

Eh, with Dero all banged up, we have to expect some shoddy play...I'm much more ticked of at DP.

Z has just as good of stuff as he did the night of his no-hitter. The defense just decided to take the day off :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: . Hopefully the offense can find it's fu(ki#$ [expletive] tonight and bail him out after that little league 2nd inning. I do have a feeling we bring the tying run to the plate tonight :beg: Edited October 3, 2008 by Cubswin11
