8/5 Cubs (Harden) @ DB's Reds (Lehr) 6:10pm CSN, XM-186

[Little Slide Rooter]

I guess Lehr can talk about this game with his shift boss at the Home Depot this time next year.

[UMFan83]

Well that sucks, but I'll take winning 5 of the 6 games against Cincinnati over the last 2 weeks. The loss to Florida on Sunday really hurts now, becuase instead of 4-2 on the trip we are 3-3 and need to split with Colorado to have a .500 road trip. That will be tough to do with the offense scuffling and the Rockies playing really good ball.

 

With the Cardinals playing the Pirates this weekend, its imperative to get the offense going this weekend otherwise we might be in big trouble, losing a ton of ground in both the division and wild card races.

[A-Cal]

glad i went for a walk instead of watching this trash

[UMFan83]

BTW, I guess we can shut up about Bud Norris now huh?

[Friendly Confines]

So this guy had 6 walks and 0 K?

 

Probably throw a 2 hit shutout

 

ehh off by 2 hits

glad i went for a walk instead of watching this trash

Was it a 10 mile walk?

something like that

[RedFlash]

So let me get this straight, the Reds can "battle" hard enough to knock out both Wells and Gorzy in the 8th inning, but the Cubs can't battle enough to scrap across run against Justin "Right Handed verison of Ryan O'Malley" Lehr? The Reds can can score 4 runs in the 9th the last two games, but Cubs can get a single basehit in the inning?

 

I hate baseball sometimes.

[UMFan83]

I blame this game on Aaron Miles. Putting his no hit, no patience, no defense stupid %# in the game demoralized the entire team.

Escape for a weekend to this idyllic state. Feel all the stresses of work and home melt away as you bask in the warming glow of inebriation. All-inclusive packages starting as low as $15.99 plus tax

Meh it happens. The Cubs have been struggling a bit on offense lately, and they ran into a pitcher they haven't seen before that consistently got ahead of the count and was in control of the game. This is hopefully the low point of the Cubs slump and hopefully they start to hit better, coinciding with Geo's return.

I get that, frustrations over losing a game you shouldn't be losing in a tight race. As for the "running into a pitcher they haven't seen before", more the reason to be more patience then they were.

[Roast]

Did we really just get shut out by this lehr fool?

 

jesus, glad I missed this game.

Well I think they were patient. The problem was this pitcher was throwing strikes and getting ahead in the count, forcing the Cubs to have to guess while behind in the count vs. a pitcher they've never seen before.

[UMFan83]

Boy the White Sox sure play good against really good teams. They are on their way to a second straight win over a previously hot Angels team.

[Guest]

Man, it's so strange agreeing with UMFan in game threads. I like the new UMF. :)

[UMFan83]

Hah, last year did a number on me. I decided that all the anguish I had last season resulted in a 97 win season. Helped me put into perspective that days like today would happen and don't necessarily mean the sky is falling. I am not sure why I remained levelheaded when we played .500 ball through June though.
