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

Cool.

If the Cubs forced a game 5 do you think there's a chance Carlos would get the ball?

 

Yes.

Please no, no no no no no no no!!!!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Why not?

:exploding head:

he pitched good today, but let's face it. Dempster has been the better pitcher all year. There is no reason to put an entire season on the line and make a pitching decision based on one game instead of one year.

 

Dempster has a history of coming out of the pen, Z doesn't. Start Z and use Dempster out of the pen if it gets ugly.

Come on Raisin, throughout the entire year Dempster has started and has done a suburb job doing it. The Blue koolaid Z love has to stop, his era this year almost hit 4. He is not the same pitcher he once was and instead Dempster has become awesome so we start Zambrano?

 

Blue koolaid Z love?

Yes the senseless love of someone who has far underperformed.

 

I'm not dealing with you.

[manbearcub]

nailed it

[CUBZ99]

Its sad that the only emotion I have as a Cub fan for the last 30 years + is to laugh and say, "well that's that Cubs for you".

Dick Stockton is an embarrassment. Seriously. I have some experience, I know baseball, and I can pronounce all the names and interpret all the rules correctly. I can do better than this.

[weis21]

[expletive] the cubs

[splintersag]

Yay, hits.

 

At the very least, hopefully it's momentum leading into the next game, and the Cubs have finally loosened up.

 

Who am I kidding? I want to believe, but I can't.

I know it sucks to lose the first 2 games of the playoffs, but there is no need to ban people from your board for saying that Zambrano has seen his best days already due to arm abuse. I'll say the same exact thing about Sheets and Sabathia because it is the truth. Sad that the forum mods are that obsessive about things on the cub board.

Yet you make a lot less money and root for a team that hasn't won in over 100 years?

[cubs121]

Fake rally time.. btw, man this series is over, you really think we can hit kuroda on saturday? a guy who threw a shutout his last time against the cubs.

Robbed

[Outshined_One]

It hit chalk!

[UMFan83]

Yay, even when are down by 9 runs we are getting screwed on calls. I love it.

[BCVM22]

It kicked up chalk! For heaven's sake!

[Prior4CyYoung]

umps are trying to keep us down lol.

[jaydee]

well that was fair, but the fat incompetent white man screwed it up. shocking. the fat umps never screw anything up. roberto alomar was on the right path

[Irrelevant Dude]

How do 2 umpires miss that call, each from 10 feet away?

[erik316wttn]

I hate baseball, I hate the Cubs, I hate my life and I hate God. All of them can go straight to hell.

 

*sigh* Wait till next year. Again.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Well, at least the Blackhawks are sucking me in with false hope and promises of how that whole lack of centers thing is no big deal...

 

Oh, crap.

:cry:

[Old Style]

That was fair.

Had he said that about three weeks ago in General Baseball, no one would have thought anything of it.

 

Saying it in the middle of a contentious game thread full of pissed off Cubs fan is generally a bad idea.

[Guest]

someone needs to show some emotion on that last play, it hit chalk. I mean if you can't win at least get pissed off and burn off some steam.

[vj9999]

The ump could play infield for Cubs

[erik316wttn]

It hit chalk!

 

Who cares anymore? It doesn't matter.
