9/13 Cubs (Haren) @ Phillies (Harang) 12:35 CDT, WGN TV

[Schwarber Fan]

This game is absolutely ridiculous in all facets.

[BigSlick]

I'm sorry, you're not allowed to lose the game that Coghlan hits 2 triples and a homer in

 

Figure out a way to win

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Montero has been pretty bad at blocking balls this season.

1 triple and 2 homers*

The end of the season really isn't the best time for these fluky [expletive] games to happen.

Better than in the playoffs.

Does it really matter when they happen? I mean, the only time it matters more is if it is against a team you are competing with for playoff positioning.

Someone with late game swag please make a comment about Edwards getting his first ML win today.

Would they somehow count less if they happened earlier in the season?

It's more frustration at the fact that we could be right on top of the Cardinals and Pirates if we didn't have all these incredibly unlucky losses in the past few weeks.

Is Montero drunk?

seriously, you need to stop complaining about luck with this team. we've been lucky.

 

the only shitty thing worth complaining about is blowing all those head to head cardinal games that we should have/easily could have won over the course of the season

[PrimeTime]

Well this ones over

[Guest]

two out runs suck tho

[BigSlick]

I really shouldn't be that upset but boy howdy have these last two games raised my hackles

[Schwarber Fan]

Game over. 2 win in 7 tries against a AA team. We're gonna have to win probably 6 of 7 against the Pirates to catch them. Edited September 13, 2015 by Rondon Fan

Yeah, and the only thing really unlucky about those is that there were a bunch of them against that one team. Those aren't even unlucky losses. Those things happen. It's just that they keep happening against the [expletive] Cardinals.

Meh. Rough weekend but whatever

Sometimes bad teams play well against good teams. See Pirates and Brewers. It's gonna be ok.

[BigSlick]

lets set the record for lineouts

Yes, with 20'ish games left, we will need to win 6/7 to catch a team that's 3 games ahead of us.

lol. They still have a series against the Cards, too. And a West Coast trip in which it looks like they will face both Greinke and Kershaw. 5 of 7 or 4 of 7 could easily get it done, or even 3 of 7, you goon.

[ARCubsFan]

Cubs are going to really regret losing 5 of 7 to the Phillies when they head to Pittsburgh in October

[UMFan83]

I haven't been able to watch any of this game but from following online it sure seems like there have been a lot of lineouts

[ARCubsFan]

Pirates tie it
