8/28 Mets (Misch) vs. Cubs (Lilly) 1:20 CT, CSN

[Schwarber Fan]

What's worse, losing to a pitcher named Misch, or losing to a lineup who's better hitter is Angel Pagan?

 

Tune in Friday to see the Cubs do both!

[Little Slide Rooter]

Cubs/Mets = the Yankees/Red Sox of train wrecks.

[RedFlash]

train wreck .v. sinking ship.

 

Baseball fever......catch it.

[KBF]

The negativity here is astounding. Sure, this season hasn't turned out the way we all wanted it to, but now's not the time to give up. It's not out of reach. Lilly is pitching today. We've still got the most talent, and we've still got time to get it together. I'll give up when Ron Santo does.

[Bote McBoteface]

Haha, we lost a series to the Nationals.

[CyHawk_Cub]

Cue the circus music for this series...

weve got the power. weve got the speed. to be the best in the national league. dude, I cant tell you what to think, but its over. Nothing Ive seen over the last 3 weeks sugests to me that even if the Cardinals were to go on a slide that we could capitilize on it.

[Terp]

I don't know why I care anymore but hopefully the Cubs aren't getting blownout when I get back from class around the 3rd inning.

We're 9 games back. I'm pretty sure Ron Santo has given up.

 

Are there ANY examples in history where a team has overcome this kind of deficit this late to make the playoffs?

How far back were the Phillies at this point in 2007 before the Mets collapsed?

In 2007 the Phillies were 7 games back with 17 to play. Made up 8 games in those 17 to win the division by 1.

Wow.

 

God bless the pom-pom wavers.

[Sammys Boombox]

At this point I'm just going to enjoy each game individually. In a month I won't have any Cubs baseball until March, so I may as well enjoy it while I can.

[E.J.]

This dude is 0-8 in his career? Yeah, we're definitely giving him his 1st victory today.

Does Riot ever take a pitch?

[illiniguy]

Last 6 at bats, 6 first pitch swings. Nice leadoff hitter.

[Keener98]

Whats that 6 straight at bats for Theriot swinging at the 1st pitch and making an out?

[Little Slide Rooter]

These Mets seriously remind me of the Indians from Major League. Ive never heard of most of them, and the ones I have heard of I thought were long out of baseball.

 

And why the hell are Soriano and his gimp knee(s) in the lineup?

[E.J.]

Thanks Francouer.
