7/20 Cubs (Lilly) @ Phillies (Lopez) 6:05PM CSN/ESPN

[Flames24Rulz]

Maybe Butters wasn't that far off when he said we'd be down 15-0 in the 5th.

[hardcorecubfan]

That is unforgivable. Billy Williams must be throwing a shoe at the TV and saying "GET OUT OF MY FIELD!"

Ok...for the love of god

[Cubs Fan In NY]

9 might be a little tough

[DiamondMind]

It's hard to defend Soriano anymore. I felt bad when he's struggling, but this is just lack of focus and effort. I'm done.

GODVERDOMME

[Derwood]

GODVERDOMME

 

I know that one! :-)) :-))

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Just to rub a little salt on it, while all that was happening, Mark DeRosa got his first hit as a Cardinal.

[laurens]

I don't see them coming back from this deficit like they did against the Rockies last year.

isn't it funny how some people just come out of the woodwork when the cubs lose? no posts during the washington series but the cubs lose a game to the phillies and oh look, they're back.

[Cubs Fan In NY]

Comeback is on! 8-)

cut us a break, it was a weekend and we had to-do lists to finish

[erik316wttn]

Isn't it just like the Cubs to get you believing again and then completely suck a dick like they have tonight?

 

I just had the feeling when Ibanez was up in the 1st that they weren't getting out of that inning unscathed.

[hardcorecubfan]

Wasn't it the Phils we came back from an 8 run deficit to change our whole season around a couple years ago?

Such is the game threads, and such is the reason why I rarely visit them anymore. They're full of sensationalism and hackeyness.

Wasn't that last year? And weren't we already comfortably ahead in the division? I mean, to my knowledge, we've never actually beaten the Phillies (or the Diamondbacks), but that's apparently what happened.

I love the game of baseball, but the Cubs are definately starting to make me hate the sport. The superior pitcher going into the game gives up 9 runs, and a pitcher who should be pitching int he Mexican league is holding the Cubs to 1 run. These games make me hate baseball, sometimes.

[erik316wttn]

Was it Philly in which Barrett made a really boneheaded play at the end of the game, and the winning run came in to score from 3rd?

 

I think I've forcibly evicted the other details from my mind.

on the espn boards there used to be white sox and cardinal fans who would only show up to make fun of the cubs when they were losing, but they hate the cubs, so i understand it. i guess i just don't understand the mentality of people who troll the team that they root for.

The Washington series shows nothing in any capacity. This series against a top team is quite different.

Hey Len, that's not Bart Simpson.

No it was a cpl years back and we won 13-12

I'll be standing at attention patiently, awaiting the moment the Cubs impress you.

they could've won the world series last year and he would've said "well of course the cubs won, the rays had never even had a winning season before this year, and the cubs' payroll was three times as large."

I can't stand the philly phanatic.
