Meaningless factoid but this makes the 3rd season in a row that our first loss of the season was a walkoff

[Ding Dong Johnson]

when a loss threatens to bring you down, think about this lineup from opening day 2014:

 

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Damn, Morrow won't be available tomorrow either.

 

[Cubswin11]

Damn, Morrow won't be available tomorrow either.

 

So Strop, Cishek, Duensing and maybe Carl available?

[Andy]

Damn, Morrow won't be available tomorrow either.

 

I suppose it would look silly to complain about not using him before since Butler was so good, but that really makes it kind of horsefeathering stupid that we didn't use him before

Didn’t they talk about being careful with Morrow when they signed him because of the arm injuries? Seems pretty simple to just bring him in when he warms up. Oh wait, I forgot that we had to save him for a save situation that never ended up happening.

Yeah I think Joe or one of Theo/Jed specifically mentioned they wanted to handle him like Davis, if he gets up he comes in and pitches no questions asked. They didn't want him warming up multiple times in a game and not using him and avoiding the 3 in 4 days, etc. Well, Joe broke that rule first time he had the chance. Should've just brought him in, in the 9th or 10th then gone to Butler.

It's just hilarious that a guy who threw 2 pitches and didn't pitch the day before is unavailable because he warmed up too much.

It's crazy that's it's taken this long before people realized that warming also entails throwing pitches.

The fat lady finally sang and all I have to say is

 

[Sammy Sofa]

Sure, that was disappointing. But it's already a new day and it was only game #2, so I'm all in again, like:

 

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Damn, Morrow won't be available tomorrow either.

 

So Strop, Cishek, Duensing and maybe Carl available?

 

And Montgomery.

[David]

guess the white sox fans will still be able to take comfort in the cubs not going wire to wire and not having 4 straight playoff CG after we win the world series this year
