8-2: Cubs (Z!) @ Phillies (Padilla) 6:05 CT, CSN, WGN 720

[Brian]

OK Z, you wanna win, you gotta do it yourself.

[Outshined_One]

Tried fouling that off and hit a weak chopper.

 

Nuts.

[Coach C]

*sighs*

[Blueheart05]

Padilla is up to 106 pitches

[brinoch]

I really hate streaky offenses. Really hate them.

You know it's bad when we're counting on pitchers to win games for us with their bats against 5+ era pitchers who suck donkey-balls.

[OldHappyCubFan]

God, I wish I was born a Yankee's fan.

 

 

This is beyond frustrating. Beyond insanity, and painful to the depth of the soul.

[Omar]

Big series. Philly is right ahead of us in the WC race. Padilla is very hittable this year. Win, cobs.

 

True. He is hittible. He is also 5-9 with 5.45 ERA. Or in other words, he will own the Cubs.

 

Guess I was right :o

[Brian]

Make it quick Carlos, big bats are up.

you base your offense on the HR and this is exactly what you get. We need some revamping in the off season.

Yeah but Padilla's been very good over his last few starts.

[DivineBovine]

I hate to blame the ump for a really bad day for the offense, but that ball on TWalk with men on 1 and 2 with 0 out a few innings bad changed the game. TWalk gets the count to 3-1, likely walks because Padilla couldn't get anything over the plate, and even the Cubs probably score after that. That friggin pitch was 1 foot outside and was a ridiculous call.

His ERA is in the low 2's in his last 4 starts.

[Omar]

Abreu with a double.

[Blueheart05]

Leadoff slice double for Abreu

[OldHappyCubFan]

I see a big inning for the Phillies.

[Brian]

I KNEW Abreu would be right in the middle of the PHillies winning.

[SwisherSweet]

This is officially the "pass the buck" offense. Once someone gets on base, either ground out, hit a fly ball, or on a rare occassion, move the runners over, or on an even more rare occasion, talk a walk, just pass the buck to the next guy so you don't have to be the one to follow through with a basehit.

[katway]

Whenever it looks like we should pull the pitcher out for any reason in a previous inning, the other team always burns our pitchers in the following inning. I hope this isn't another example of that.

[Omar]

I see a big inning for the Phillies.

 

*Puts Tobasco sauce in your eyes*

[Blueheart05]

I see a big inning for the Phillies.

 

 

Do you ever have positive visions? Just asking...

[TrueBlueCubFan]

the negativity & pessimism in this game thread is too much for me. I'm out!

True Cub fans are optimists!

[Omar]

I remember one time a bat flew at Wrigley and the player got it back. Forgot when, and who it was.

[Brian]

WHERE WAS THAT

[Blueheart05]

Burrell with a great AB

 

Runner on 3rd with one out
