Is 3 runs too much to ask for Cobs?

cubswin2009 · May 23, 2009

Sorry about getting this up a little early. I won't be around much tomorrow and quite frankly, the Cubs aren't scoring 5 to win this.

Stellar thread starting here.

CubbieBum · May 23, 2009

Shouldn't this have waited until after the game?

Cubs could still come back and win tonight. :lol:

Is 3 runs too much to ask for Cobs?

Why don't you just ask them to score 30? It's about the same likelihood.

Little Slide Rooter · May 23, 2009

Maybe this will be the reverse jinx of starting a thread too early when youre winning. I wouldnt bet on it though.

one of the major networks should just carry the cubs season from now on...

it would be a comedic smash hit

i can already hear the couch folks across this country as they lazily drool over one of their favorite characters..."Oh, that Hendry!" <------ this is after a scene of good ole' Jim slamming his face with a Sara Lee pound cake and saying, "Damn this tastes great! Soon enough our balance will pay dividends Lou. Soon enough............man, I didn't put enough butter on this bad boy!"

They have to score eventually, right?

The season's over. Park is closed. Moose outside should have told you.

Little Slide Rooter · May 23, 2009

Josh Greer should be a guy we can come to life against. Hes your typical #5 starter/swingman type of pitcher. The problem is we got shut down by the likes of Piniero, which was demoralizing enough and then were fed into a buzzsaw of 3 straight ace caliber pitchers. I honestly belive we score some runs today, as long as our guys realize that this is not the place to play long ball.

Cynosure · May 23, 2009

Wow the Cubs really suck... glad I have a distraction for at least another week... then I can be pissed with all of you!

Friendly Confines · May 23, 2009

Man, it seems like we are ALWAYS facing Cy Young.

Little Slide Rooter · May 23, 2009

Man, it seems like we are ALWAYS facing Cy Young.

Well we did face 2 CY Young award winners and another that will be a perenial contender as long as he syays healthy. Pineiro was a bad, unexcusable performance. I really dont see this guy shutting us down.

Sammys Boombox · May 23, 2009

2 runs:

over or under?

Outshined_One · May 23, 2009

Maybe this will be the reverse jinx of starting a thread too early when youre winning.

Last time that happened, I believe A-Ram dislocated his shoulder.

So, I guess this will be the game where Soriano accidentally steps on a landmine...or something.

I'm going to say exact.

If he were to hit a home run and step on a land mine rounding 2nd... would it be ruled a double or an out or both?

A-Cal · May 23, 2009

isn't dempster or theriot kind of next in line for an injury?

maybe kosuke?

TruffleShuffle · May 23, 2009

yet another cardinal scrub is putting up a dominant pitching performance.

illiniguy · May 23, 2009

yet another cardinal scrub is putting up a dominant pitching performance.

44 innings 2 runs.

coldsteel · May 23, 2009

There once was a team on the North Side,

They could not get off of the schneid.

Shut out every day,

Santo's hairpiece turned gray!

'Cause on Hendry's prowess they relied.

Hmmm, that's not it.

The day I flew out to the UK was the day this losing streak started. Last time I was in Europe, it was the last week of the 2004 season.

My apologies to all of you.

Well then, get your ass back to the US!
