Good, if we can't win it we might as well pick higher in the draft.

[Outshined_One]

I like this whole "tank for a high draft pick" idea. We need to keep it up!

[Careless]

Wow this game is incredible. I flipped over to CSN just in time for the grand slam. When the Cubs start tanking against the Nationals it is time to put away the desperate false optimism and fully embrace football season. \:D/

I don't know how you can be surprised. Cubs pitcher struggles, is replaced with Heilman, Heilman gets to 2 outs and gives up multiple runs.

Headline currently on Cubs.com:

 

"Cubs in need of rally after Big Z's uneven return."

 

Can't they just say "sucky?"

[illiniguy]

Big game tonight Lee.

[CUBZ99]

Cubs need to quit jacking Miles around and give him more playing time, so he can get his offense together.

[Irrelevant Dude]

Rally time!

[illiniguy]

Damn, how did that not get out?

[Careless]

Hope Willingham is ok. Gutsy attempt on that

[NotSoSober]

Damn, how did that not get out?

 

I thought both Soto's and Ramirez's were out.

[Flames24Rulz]

Just got back from work to see the score. Wow we suck.

 

Was Zambrano just miserable tonight or what?

[coldsteel]

Eddie Vetter can hit better than Miles. Eek! So can E. Vedder. Edited August 26, 2009 by coldsteel

The first pitch is always the best, eh Fonten-O (for 4)

[Schwarber Fan]

No control and it didn't help that Heilman came in and gave up a grand slam

[Little Slide Rooter]

I suppose if ever there was a pitching staff you could make up a 5 run defecit in 3 innings, its that of the Washington Nationals. Not that it matters.

[haubrich91]

So is this the inning where we give up about five more runs?

LOL

I think its time to break out the draft pick standings!

[Careless]

These guys are lucky they're not horses

[NotSoSober]

Worst defense in baseball

[Schwarber Fan]

Yeah lets put more guys on base down by 6

[Schwarber Fan]

Haha, McCutchen walkoff HR for the Pirates over Philly

[Irrelevant Dude]

Someday we'll go all the way, yeeeeeeeeeeeah, someday we'll go all the way.
