CubsBears29

I just can't get over how hard the Cubs have hit the ball tonight off Johnson and have NOTHING to show for it. And one total nobody on the Dbacks wins it on a wall-scraper. :cry:

Sadly enough, would it really matter any?

I could really use that small movie of Lilly slamming his glove after giving up the HR right now.....

How ironically NOT funny this game has went for the Chicago Cubs offense; 1 of the 2 hits came off a swinging bunt and all the hard hit balls have been caught. That's statistically impossible, but we're doing it tonight. And that's ballgame. Even IF Howry keeps the D'bags off the board here in this inning, we'll hard hit our way to 3 outs to finish it off. Stupid soapdropping................... *walks off muttering*

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! Still don't feel any better! JEEZUS!!!!!!!!

Harden on the bench talking to Theriot and another guy... "Hey, I just pitched my ass off and am probly gonna get an L. Just wanted to say thanks. Stay cool."

Lou was in almost a no-win position there... either he leaves in Harden to finish the inning (which he did), or you bring in Howry and hope that Young doesn't take him deep, effectively blowing the game wide open ["wide open" in terms of how things have gone tonight for the Cubs' lack of offense].

Only the Cubs would waste a game like this from Harden, and last Friday night's game from Lilly to lose either 1-0 or 2-1. I know, I know... game isn't over yet, but you get the point. I could literally scream its so frustrating beyond words. And WTH was B2 to Young!??!!?!!? :-#

Howry up for the 8th. Nice. #-o Unless we go nuts on either Johnson or an AZ reliever in our upcoming half-inning, "ballgame".

And another thing, how in the world did Aramis' fly to left not sneak over the fence?? Looked pretty well hit. Must have blasted on the AC that blows balls back in right at that moment.

Would it be wrong of me to wish ill on Chris Young?? JEEBUS JIMINY CRICKET!!!!!!! He either gets laser beams hit right to him, or runs all over the outfield taking away doubles and triples. FRUSTRATING!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :banghead: [-(

Only the Cubs. Only against a sub-.500 division leader, would the Cubs come to town and watch all 9 opposing players turn into Gold Glovers. On a night their own pitcher is throwing an absolute gem (even giving up the HR and a few 3-0/3-1 counts). Not to mention a bunch of their greatly-hit balls find AZ gloves.

McClung's tipping his pitches. Nice.

Anyone else watching the game on FSN Midwest? Did you see the end of that ad for "Cardinals Game LIve" or whatever it is... that "I'm a Cardinals fan and you can't touch me... cause I'm with my nana!". If I were a StL fan, I'd kill myself of shame after that. :rotfl:

Everybody keeps saying that, but "I'll believe it when I see it".

That is a great post. Nice work. It really does put things in perspective. Still, if only we could have won the opener vs the 'Strolls.......

Like it will matter. I love that Pujols hasn't even went crazy with homers yet and they are hanging around. Wait until he goes crazy. If they and the Brewers both beat us out of the playoffs this year and I am done with baseball. That would be the ultimate kick in the jewels if the Cubs are beat out of the playoffs by those 2. 1 (& Cubs get WC) ok, but both (and Cubs stay home)?? No effin way. The pain of that would be just absolutely crippling.

I said it last night, I'll say it again... Cardinals will defy all logic to either win the division, win the WC, or at the very least, make the Cubs (& Brewers) sweat all the way up until the end. I know, I know, SD sucks ass, but this is just a taste of things to come. I've tried, but I won't deny it any longer.

Going into the AS Break, Cubs were up 4.5 & 5.0. First game back from the break, Cubs will *most likely* be only 3.0 & 4.0 up #-o

1 run on 4 hits does not exactly my fit my description of a "raping". I know, you meant historically, but should have known we'd get shut down or shut ourselves down tonight against a guy we should have blasted all night long - (making assumptions, as didn't see a single minute of the game, only listened to the b9th on the way home).

Despite whatever the facts are as to why JM didn't do the "Legends" thing before the ASG the other night, I'm going to delude myself with the fantasy that he simply couldn't bring himself to stand beside Ryno because of his dislike for him. Thus leaving me conclude that my dislike of Morgan as an impartial analyst can still hold strong and true.

:lol: Scratches out a note to Moehler: "Wear chastity belt to game tonight. You'll understand...." :write: "Nevermind. Ben Gay & Preparation H will probly serve your needs better."

His at bats did. you could just as easily say that anyone's at-bats cost the NL the game. Maybe, but Uggla did seem to come up in most of the big spots. Look at his at-bats Came up in the 8th: 1 on, 0 outs: struck out Came up in the 10th: runners on 1st and 3rd, 1 out. Great scoring chance. Uggla grounds into a double play, inning over. Came up in the 12th: bases loaded, 1 out. For the 2nd time in extra innings, Uggla doesn't even need a base hit to score a run. He strikes out on 3 pitches. Lead off the 15th with a strikeout. The NL really had 2 chances in extra innings. Uggla had the misfortune of being really bad in some of the "biggest" at-bats in the game. Does it mean he's a choke artist? No. But he was easily the biggest reason the NL lost the game. QFT. True there were some ABs and baserunning mistakes by other members of the NL team, but those above mentioned ABs were big deterrents in the overall reason the AL won the contest. Also, none of his Es may have led to any runs or directly attributed to the loss, but he owed Aaron Cook, Miguel Tejada, Christian Guzman, and Russell Martin really expensive dinners for saving his bacon in huge ways, in the 10th(?)/11th(?) inning, when he committed those 2 back-to-back errors that allowed the bases to become loaded with either 1 or 0 outs. (Not sure if any of the outfield assists should have been attributed to his other previous error or not.)

Even though its going to defy all logic, I still think the Cards are going to be right there with the Brewers to prevent the Cubs being able to spend half of September - if not more - to "coast" into October & the playoffs; ie setting playoff rotation, roster, etc. Anything to make us hate StL all that much more.

"The patented 'Cardinal Pixie Dust'... get some!" Oh come on. He has a career .860 OPS, its not like this is really far from the norm. I just meant that when we need the Cardinal players to suck, for our benefit, they don't. :oops:
