I can't envision any way in which the Cubs win this game.

Well, crap.

The last inning pretty much summed up being a Cubs fan. It will be capped off this half inning.

[BigSlick]

As if the point couldn't be made further

 

 

THERE IS LITERALLY NO REASON TO WATCH A CUBS GAME

 

DON'T DO IT, DON'T PUNISH YOURSELF WITH THIS

 

they're a game over .500.

I'm not saying I'm not following them, I'm just saying don't watch them

 

they are a pain in the visual spectrum

[erik316wttn]

I can't envision any way in which the Cubs win this game.

 

Maybe if everyone on the Braves suffers simulataneous heart attacks and they all die at the same time.

 

Of course, Gregg would be left in to walk the corpses, and we'd still lose.

[Outshined_One]

I can't envision any way in which the Cubs win this game.

 

The home plate umpire turns into a zombie, bites a bunch of Braves, and the Braves have to forfeit.

[kjfoster 1553]

Wow. Just, wow.

 

You're surprised? I'd have been surprised if Francouer didn't homer there.

 

I guess I'm trying to be a little more optimistic than that...

 

I've tried. But getting kicked in the nuts for 6 months per year for the last 20+ years tends to kill any optimism.

 

I like the Cubs just as much as the next guy (see tattoo on right leg) but EXPECTING opposing players to hit home runs isn't really appealing to me.

[big_shooter17]

who is coming in to pitch? i'd almost assume heilman at this point.

[erik316wttn]

Remember when Randy Wells was mowing everyone down? Wasn't that fun?

[illiniguy]

Wow. Just, wow.

 

You're surprised? I'd have been surprised if Francouer didn't homer there.

I agree, but sadly when you have a closer as awful as Gregg and you fall behind a guy who is only trying to jack one, that's usually what you get.

[Irrelevant Dude]

who is coming in to pitch?

Our only good reliever.

It isn't appealing to me, either. It's a learned response. Much like if you kick a dog every time you see it, eventually it's going to cower and expect to be kicked every time it sees you.

[Fred Hornkohl]

[Guest]

Let's just get this loss over with quickly so I can go do something else for the rest of the night.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Diaz, pinch hitting for Gonzalez, singled to right field

[illiniguy]

Throw strikes.
