Just realized our bottom of the 9th has Johnson hitting 2nd because Soriano's glove disintegrates after 7 innings.

 

Hmm....potent.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

It did not look like he hit it anywhere near that hard.

[jersey cubs fan]

Fukudome makes that play

[Cubswin11]

How does that ball hit off the top of the wall and Soriano's and Zimmerman's balls don't even get to the warning track?

[bcl412]

Dammit.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

At least now my crankiness will be in the Cubs' fan mainstream.

[Careless]

Oh good, we've summed up the season in the first game.

[UMFan83]

Yay for our 8th and 9th inning relievers.

 

Bulls and Hawks on tonight!

[JonJayCutler]

Wow it doesn't even bother me anymore.

[Hawk4Hall]

I knew this before the season started, but this team sucks.

 

Parts of the pitching staff are the only glimmer of hope and the rest of the team is just awful.

 

I hate it that I'm so negative already but this frustrates the hell out of me.

Not even a bad pitch by Marmol, just a blooper.

[NotSoSober]

Is it too late to cancel the Extra Innings package. This season is gonna be brutal

[rocket]

well, it's not like we didn't know this was gonna be a rough year. still nice to see wrigley.

[illiniguy]

It's gonna be a long year. Winning this game 1 to 0 wouldn't have changed that.

[kujay]

Whatever.

 

But it would be nice if our tradeable guys actually play well.

[Soul]

Wow it doesn't even bother me anymore.

 

Yeah, it bothered me back in the 4th inning but now I'm just numb.

[bukie]

Oh, I guess it's time for the hilarious overreaction folks to blow up the game thread. Good times.

[bcl412]

It's weird that one game that's not over yet means this team sucks.

[Careless]

Yay for our 8th and 9th inning relievers.

 

Bulls and Hawks on tonight!

Yeah, at least we've got those teams. Both with their best players missing extended stretches and god knows how prepared they'll be for the playoffs :banghead:

I didn't get MLB.tv this year for that reason. I figured I'd get enough Cubs games on WGN and ESPN and if they're somehow relevant in August, I can just buy two month's worth.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Dear God, and eggs, and Jesus and Santa, and Travolta's guy, and of course Shiva, please let Reed Johnson get on base and Ian Stewart hit the walk-off.

[ManCrushOnNomar]

Incoming fake rally.

[J.R.]

Why get mad? You knew this was coming.

 

This is the summer of doh.

[Soul]

NO CAN'T LOSE THIS.

The fact that this team sucks means this team sucks. One game doesn't change that at all.
