After every save (consecutive) you should remove a little bit of the red cirle/cross through. Like in Major League. Man, I just get a split-second flash of a topless cut-out of Dempster. Gah. I tried to find a pic of it for you, no luck. Sorry. I did find this though. Interesting http://www.cubshub.com/postimages/pictures/66.jpg He looks kind of dazed to be declared so studly.

Wasn't he doing well before his early injury last year, too? He seems to catch fire early and them flame out hard.

I figure the Sox did themselves in when they stretched the lead to 3-1.

Yikes, Angel sounds like a less hyper Ozzie.

Great job, Demp. That'll learn 'em.

Good to see Dempster getting back into it after yesterday.

Because Garwilly probably took a stats/probability class and mojo hasn't.... Math is my nemesis.

Not furthering anything here. Just curious as to how? Please just let it go. I'm sorry for my comments setting you off, and I'm sorry for derailing this thread. I'd appreciate a similar response from you and then we just move on.

OK, this is now the "official" reverse jinx thread. If you post here and vent about the Cubs when they're sucking, they'll do even worse.* *Ultimate quintuple reverse sideways jinx.

Nevermind. Not worth the headache.

Doesn't really matter, he still got in there, but the throw and tag were just in time if Ozuna held on to the ball. Can someone check and see if Murton went to the Moises Alou school of Baserunning? So if you HAD to pick a pinch-runner in baseball hell, is it Alou or Jacque?

Way to gun it out, Theriot!

OK, if you're not going to drop this, I'm not going to sit here and let you crap all over me. Yes, I was acting like the game was over once it was 2-1. It's because the Cubs have not been able to win the mjaority of games this year where they've been down by only 1 run. I, nor any other poster here, said anything bizarre or ridiculous in thinking that the Cubs were not going to come back due to these stats, and especially due to them being even worse with 1-run games when they're at home. Nobody said anything that deserved the kind of responses you've been dishing out all afternoon.

In other words, you have no legitimate response besides backhanded insults and pointless hyperbole. A) Being down 2-1 after 6 innings is not a 100-1 deficit. B) Anyone who feels otherwise, is an idiot. C) You have done nothing but indicate the game is over after a 2-1 lead. Therefore, it is overwhelmingly clear you are in fact an idiot. (fronthanded enough for ya?) namecalling = bad. let's not do it. I don't make up the rules, if the first three things are true, then the 4th must also be true. Can you knock it off? If you can't argue a point without resorting to personal insults, how about you don't bother in the first place?

I was craving this so much yesterday. Not sure why, haven't had any in a long time. I swear I've seen a giant plastic bucket in the dugout with the logo on it...if I could find a giant bucket of BLC, I'd be very happy.

Yes, but it's also quite myopic to assume this "norm" is destined to be repeated every time. I'm not assuming it's going to happen EVERY time, but so far this season it's safe to say that it's very, very, VERY likely to happen. It's been far more likely the result than the Cubs actually mounting any kind of comeback. Nice inning by Howry.

I want some Big League Chew.

With this bunch, might as well be 100-1. Well they scored one more, and we scored 2 more. Too bad the score is now 101-3. :roll: :roll: Get over yourself. Tying up this one game doesn't negate all of the other games where they've played like being down 1 or 2 is impossible to come back from. Scoreboard. 4-3. Get over yourself. OH MY GOD!!! WE'RE ACTUALLY ERASING OUR STUPID LOSSES!!!! HOW WRONG I WAS!!! Yeah, single game samples are great. It's why we're scoring 10 runs every game. One game, two games, or ten. It doesn't matter. Being down 2-1, and assuming we're out of it is idiotic. Except that how many games this team has lost when there's a 1 or 2-run margin shows that it's not. This game is by far the exception. Acting like this somehow the norm or indicative of something we've seen reguarly this season is simply wrong. Being down 2-1, and assuming we're out of it is idiotic. Why are you ignoring the very real stat of how many games the Cubs have lost this year not just being down by 2 runs, but specifically only being down by only 1? Why is it idiotic to pay attention that a large of number of posters and analysts have pointed out repeatedly? Acting like this kind of rally is the norm as opposed to a very rare exception so far this season is incredibly myopic.

My reverse jinx powers are both confusing and angering me. I don't like having to deflate when I've got a good fury on. It's not healthy.

Actually our offensive numbers on the year are NOT that bad. And compareable to alot of teams. Look it up. We're still not able to stay in the black wins-wise. Our offensive numbers are inflated by the "feast games."
