8/26 Cubs (Hendricks) @ Giants (Peavy), 9:15, CSN

[BigSlick]

Eh at the end of the day I just remember that taking one game in this series, already accomplished, makes it a productive series and stifles any ground the Giants gain on us so I'm not gonna get too worked up on this game.

I don't think about a streak or a stretch of games when I'm watching one, I just think about that one. After the game I may take solace in their previous stretch, but during the game I'll reserve the right to be pissed when we're messing up.

 

for [expletive]'s sake, it's not about being pissed

[Sammy Sofa]

My God, how will the Cubs possibly overcome this gigantic deficit.

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Coghlan tracks fly balls like every one is the first he's ever done, he's like Sammy Jankis the outfielder

 

nice

[Sammys Boombox]

I don't know what's more funny, the people who really do overreact to negative things happening. Or the people who who get all bent out of shape every time someone says anything negative at all about the team because the team is playing so well.

 

Group 1: The game is not over and sometimes major league players make mistakes in the field. Like, how the Cubs got their two runs in the first.

Group 2: The defense has really let down Hendricks tonight who also pitched like garbage for the first inning when the Giants got their first two runs. It's ok to point that out and even voice frustration - even when the team is playing so well.

 

Ok, the people who overreact to the negative things are more funny. But it's kind of close.

Baseball teams lose, yes. Doesn't mean no one is allowed to get upset when they do.

 

this is just another version of your "game threads are for venting" argument.

I don't really see who's that upset. It was a dumb play by Denorfia that warranted negative posts and it was right after the Cubs stranded 2.

Alright miggy, donger into the cove

[Aaron_Kennelly]

My God, how will the Cubs possibly overcome this gigantic deficit.

 

... for the 89th time this year.

how will this team ever score 2 or *gasp* 3 runs in the rest of this game

Still don't get who here is conceding this game

[UMFan83]

you can get upset without posting stupid irrational wrong [expletive]

 

This x100

 

There's a difference between expressing disappointment and being negatively irrational.

 

For example statement like "absolutely had to score there" in a tied game in the 6th inning makes no sense and makes you look silly

still can't believe we amazingly managed to escape that last inning with only 2 runs given up

[Aaron_Kennelly]

It's not about being negative! It's about the woe-is-me, the-world-is-crumbling-around-me attitude, as if a baseball team simply can't ever be trailing in a baseball game.

[NotSoSober]

finally. whe nwas his last hit

[Guest]

Did La Stella change his stance or did I forget it while he had lupus or w/e

 

It's hysterical how he swaggers like a power hitter when he's 1.1 Altuve's himself

[ScrubMD]

Yeah, this is only one game. But if lose to Bumgarner and Kershaw, there's a chance we're only 4.5 games up by Saturday.

[Guest]

HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAAH

[Irrelevant Dude]

Aoki almost took that one in the side of the head.

[Cubswin11]

Hahaaa

[Sammys Boombox]

Hahaha. I forgot how awful Aoki is in the field. Oh, wait, no I didn't.

[Guest]

that can't happen

[Guest]

also La Stella is the best and you all are gonna rue the day you hated on him all year long while he was hurt

[Aaron_Kennelly]

YES!

[badger1679666666]

Are we pinch outfielding for the Giants?
