It's almost eerie how every complaint about Dusty has occured in this game. All we need is for Murton to get benched for a defensive replacement. It's been an educational season with you all, if not an exciting one. So very frustrating. It's hard to squeeze that much mediocrity out of that much talent.

[Mark Priors Calves]

Is this blood letting over yet?

[YearofDaCubs]

If i was a player on this team I would start a mutiny.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 5-13 when they trail by 2 runs after six innings.

 

Go CUBS !!

[MeatampPotatoesMan]

patterson just swung at some of the worst pitches of the day. sliders waayyy off the plate. geez.

[LetsPlayTwo]

Won't it be so exciting to see all this again next season?

[J.R.]

I think Brenly has all kinds of anti-Dusty venom at the ready. We need to give him an outlet.

[MeatampPotatoesMan]

Won't it be so exciting to see all this again next season?

 

thanks :evil:

[YearofDaCubs]

Won't it be so exciting to see all this again next season?

If it was up to me Perez, Macias, Baker, and Corey would be guaranteed to be gone.

 

EDIT: Oh yeah and Maddux.

Go CUBS !!

[ToupeeOnFire]

If they are going to do it, this needs to be the inning to get it done.

 

I'm not watching the 9th. Last thing I need to see are the Astros celebrating.

[MeatampPotatoesMan]

love the plate discipline guys. love it. :roll:

[erik316wttn]

We almost forced a 1 game playoff. Almost.

 

Stupid throwing error. We could have forced it.

 

There are some people probably burning the Cubs in effigy right now on the streets of Philly.

[J.R.]

154 games for Neifi this season.

 

So we've basically spotted the opposition three runs 154 times this year.

[ToupeeOnFire]

Looks like Lee will finish the season a hit shy of 200 and an extra-base hit shy of 100. At least he has pretty much locked up the batting title with a .335 BA. Pujols is 0-3 so far today.

[EricG]

Pujols will still get the gold glove. Nice play by D Lee
