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

[Little Slide Rooter]

If these losers cant score 3 runs here, I give up.

My only wish is that this forum's monitor allows the hate for this game. With hate I mean, I really need to say a couple of things.

I'll sit back now and wait for the green light.

Does anyone have Micah Haufpauer's phone number?

 

Why, can he pitch?

 

Huh???

 

Bringing up Micah implies that his bat could possibly "save" this team. While the extra offense could help, the biggest problem is the Cubs' pitching giving up an assload of runs. Micah can't do anything about that.

 

Nothing has been wrong with the pitching in this game. The defense blew it. And our biggest problem is offense.

[Handlebar McSkullet]

what a great step up game for z, and it will be tarnished by this howry

[splintersag]

Mario in real life.

Lol, awesome. It's a 2 minute video, but it's better than the last 13 innings of Cubs baseball.

[CubsBears29]

Sad thing is... Z is pitching winning baseball.

 

Thanks for nothing, you suckazz IFs!!!!!

[Andy]

We'll all be back next April. No reason to dance around it. I know I will. Because I love baseball too much.

 

After D-Lee Pierre's one maybe we'll get something going.

[SpongeWorthy]

I wish there were a line graph like one of those game charts that shows the spike in the number of domestic violence disputes and DUIs in the greater Chicago area tonight.

[17 Seconds]

I get yelled at every time I post this, but it needs to be said, now more than ever.

 

The worst organization in professional sports.

 

Not even close

[Faceman]

I know you guys don't wanna hear it, but there is still energy there. If you could manage a comeback, it could be devastating to LA.

[Flames24Rulz]

So you guys think we can win next year?

:banghead:

 

The sad part is, we'll be back like sheeps when next season rolls around. We'll root for them all year and then be forced to sit through another postseason choke job.

 

I'll still root for them, but I don't think I'm going to care as much in the regular season. It's all pointless if this is what it's going to lead up to every damn year.

 

you're gonna get sucked in just like all of us other saps. you know it's true.

 

I am a sucker for pain, but I don't know what'll happen.

 

But I mean if this is what winning the regular season every year leads to, what's the point of wasting countless days watching regular season games?

[Smack]

Let's go you jerks. Rally time.

[rocket]

time to redeem yourselves lee aramis and dero.

[GoCubsGo1679625768]

I blame that piece of sheet Blagovich that showed up at the rally.

[Irrelevant Dude]

The Cubs are teaching us life's greatest lesson... don't ever get your hopes up for anything, because you will surely be disappointed.

You don't deserve it, but get ready for some attacks.

[robnail]

I'm just so shocked right now. I mean i felt this was our best chance to make it and when it's all said and done, we weren't even close.

 

It really does make one wonder if there really is something to this effing curse and whatnot.

 

How do you be the best team in the NL, 97-wins, all those stats, etc etc etc and just completely wet the bed when it comes to the games that absolutely matter the most? This ain't just a mega-choke job.

 

 

I freaked about curses a little bit last night, but at the end of the day its about players tightening up due to the added pressure. The second inning was the ultimate proof of this hypothesis. The reality is only a certain breed of professional athlete can perform when confronted with the stress of having to perform within a very small timeframe in front of a huge fan base in a major media market constantly reminding the that they are "cursed." To date, only the '04 Red Sox had the right mix of carefree, loosey-goosey guys to get it done. Maybe the '80 Phils too. The '05 White Sox? No pressure on them. They're the second team in this city and always would be whether they won or lost. Their fans only care about beating the Cubs.

 

If the Cubs are ever to win anything, they need to model the psychological profile of their team after the '04 Red Sox.

Yeah, if the Cubs come back and win this, I think they will take the next two and win the series. If they don't take this, I'm guessing we get swept.

[17 Seconds]

I can't wait for E3Lee to ground out

[windycityfan]

If the White Sox win tomorrow I'm pretty sure I won't be able to keep my composure.

I might not!

[Magnetic Curses]

there's nothing wrong with the organization. let's stop pretending like the cubs have a bad organization and that's why they fail.

[imb]

IS ANYONE ELSE REALLY EXCITED FOR THE PLAYOFFS THIS YEAR I REALLY CANT WAIT FOR THEM TO START

 

LETS GO CUBS

[cbbryan]

Look at two strikes DLee..............
