    He took a hanging slider on the first pitch from Broxton and fouled another one off.

    As long as the Brewers and White Sox stay out. I'm on the ledge as it is. I wouldn't be so certain about that, in the Phillies the Dodgers won't be playing a team tighter than a snare drum. How many hanging sliders did the Cubs miss or take tonight? From Broxton alone I counted 5.
  3. gflore34
    That's the only attitude or approach for success tonight, with such an approach they'll play better and win.

    Win one tonight and the dam of tightness, etc. and all that other garbage will burst.

    Or the Dodgers will continue to clean the Cubs' clock. There would be a run to the bat rack. Harden deserves this start and not to give it to him is a fireable offense. The Dodgers haven't cleaned anyone' clock, I refuse to give them credit beyond not playing as poorly as the Cubs. All they've done is be the beneficiaries of some bad Cub Baseball, nothing more.

    Exactly, there is one thing I've got a pretty strong feeling about - LA better close them out Saturday night. If they allow the Cubs to get one, its going to loosen the Cubs up, they'll play better and LA' will be in for a world of hurt.

    Is this like "if the Cubs win game 3, they will have Zambrano in game 4 and anything can happen in game 5 even if Webb is pitching. We really should win this game, Livan Hernandez is starting!"? Is this like HA, if any team's coming back from 3-0 it's certainly not going to be the cursed Red Sox, and definitely not against the mystique of the Yankees. I've said all along we get swept or we win the series. The bats just have to effin wake the F up. Lou could probably afford to calm his ass down too. I agree, earlier I posted that Lou should get on their asses but, in rethinking, the only approach that may work is Lou telling F*** it, were out anyway, lets just play.

    I think you may on to something there Soul, in fact I believe your solution could work this year. If they take collective approach of screw it were out anyway lets just play - they could win Saturday night. But, more than likely it'll be the tight, squeezing saw dust out of the bats, trying as hard as physically possible approach. Which will result in more errors, poor pitching, hitting etc.
  10. gflore34
    You should. We are toast... As for next year? I'm worried about the continued declines of Soriano, Ram, and Dlee. Uh, I buy into Soriano and D-Lee, but Rammy? Yea, maybe not Ram...Just venting a bit. But DLEE/Sori I'm worried about. I'm not they'll hit enough to get the Cubs in the playoffs then go into their usual dive.
  11. gflore34
    What' really going to upset me is prior to this game we'll read all of obligatory rah-rah nonsense from Lou, Z and the great D-Lee only to watch them go through the motions and lose 2-0.

    We all thought the cubs were a better team than the Dodgers and look how that has turned out thus far The Phillies are benefiting from Milwaukee having a pitcher who cant throw more than 75 pitches because he has been injured all year and another who hasn't pitched on normal rest in at least 2 weeks. The Phillies are also benefitting from players who can hit the baseball. A slight technicality but, yes, it is helpful to have some players who can actually put the ball in play and manage a few hits.
  13. gflore34
    Next year never comes...
  14. gflore34
    Some of that might be applicable to team with even an ounce of pride or fight in them but, these gutless wonders have already shown none of it applies to them.
  15. gflore34
    And, after they dispatch of the Brewers, they'll probably kick the crap out of the Dodgers, by simply catching ground balls. Imagine that, the team that catches the ball has a good chance of winning.
  16. gflore34
    Hell, I'd take them leading after 5 innings, winning a playoff game? I think were aiming just a little too high but, its nice have high goals. Anyone think Lou is upset enough to issue a challenge to these walking corpses? Something along the lines of get your collective heads out of your collective rectums and show some pride?
  17. gflore34
    It would be refreshing and shocking to see Z come out tonight and pitch, let the movement of his pitches generate GBs instead of the more likely scenario of him trying throw everything through the wall. Resulting in high pitch counts, BB's and HR's.
  18. gflore34
    On the other end of the spectrum, its because of that WS that everyone thinks Counsell is good.
  19. gflore34
    Crying because of the other team doing anything is pathetic. The only way I'd cry in baseball is when the Cubs finally win it. I didn't cry, I was pissed as hell, numb nuts couldn't throw a strike if his life depended upon it and what does Lou do? Stick with him after issuing his 7th BB to load the bases, didn't have anyone up to start the 5th, you know I thought Dempster was going to walk in the first run. If that had happened I'll bet the dumb ass still would have stuck with him.
  20. gflore34
    lolololololololololololololol As funny as it may be, its probably not all that out there, he's already shown a tendency to swing at sliders low and outside. Unless someone makes a mistake there's a real good chance he's not going to touch the ball.
  21. gflore34
    The frustrating aspect is they'll keep throwing him the same pitch over and over and over, you'd think Perry or Lou would say something to him.
  22. gflore34
    Depends on whether Z can get his head on straight and keep it that way. So... There's a chance he could keep his head on straight but, lets be realistic, its not going to happen.
  23. gflore34
    Prepared to be embarrassed, given how terrible Zambrano has been lately coupled with the added pressure of the playoffs there's no way he doesn't implode by the 4th. After this latest playoff flop, for the first time in my life, I'm considering moving on, I've had enough. I don't deserve this nor do any of my fellow Cub fans. This was best Cub team I've ever seen and there's a excellent chance they're not going to manage at least one playoff win.
  24. gflore34
    Not against the Cubs in playoffs the last seven games hell, they were mesmerized by a BP tossing Livan Hernandez, think about it, Livan Hernandez.
  25. gflore34
    They're not the same team but, I've zero confidence in Zambrano and Harden the next two. Different year same results. I disagree. I have a feeling Zambrano is going to (female dog)slap the Dodgers. I hope you're right, with Z it's going to turn one of two ways he'll implode by the 3rd or smoke 'em.
