  1. Or just show how dumb it is to say that "anything but a sweep is a failure." Not saying anyone in particular... don't even know who said it. I love how people who are so stat driven and realists think that a fan on a computer have anything to do with an outcome of a baseball game. I agre fully. People talk about not jinxing something, when the fact is, theres always going to be someone out there "jinxing" an outcome, whether you can hear them or not. Woah, definitely not talking about jinxing or anything. What David said above is on the mark.
  2. Hopefully this will stop our fans from predicting sweeps.
  3. The Cubs have lost 3 straight Friday games. I hate going into the weekend on a loss :(
  4. Please show up tomorrow offense.
  5. Or not. Soto looks really bad lately.
  6. -Geovany Soto walks -Mike Fontenot strikes out swinging Mark DeRosa pinch hits for Carlos Marmol -Mark DeRosa doubles to left centerfield. Geovany Soto to third -Ryan Theriot walks -Alfonso Soriano hits Grand Slam to leftfield, Soto, DeRosa, Theriot score
  7. And for no reason, here's Carlos Marmol!
  8. If we lose this game, we would go to 1-5 on the first game of the month March 31 - L vs. Milwaukee April 2 - L vs. Milwaukee May 1 - L vs. Milwaukee June - W vs. Colorado July - L @ San Francisco August - L vs. Pittsburgh
  9. Dude, we are losing to the Pirates and people are bummed out about it. It's no big deal. They aren't that bad of a team. There are far worse in baseball and even those teams win 40% of their games. How do we know? They just traded off their 3 and 4 hitters along with their LH setup guy. Also, their number 5 hitter and starting SS are injured . We have no idea if they are good anymore.
  10. I hate potentially losing the first game of a series.
  11. I don't feel confident about home games anymore after suffering through that Marlins series offensively and now this game. I need a jolt of confidence.
  12. BTW, Luis Rivas (.259 AVG) = Cub killer
  13. Ugh....we thrived all last series on getting timely hits. Now we aren't getting a single one.
  14. Yet he's one out from a quality start. I can't say that I'm happy with mediocre pitching. I'm just not mad about it either. That's kind of what mediocre is. Exactly. Sure would be nice to not have a mediocre pitcher every 5 days, but when the other pitchers are dominating, I can't complain about 6 IP 3 ER. In fact the Pirates would have to have that performance once a week.
  15. Yet he's one out from a quality start.
  16. It was a lot more fun watching Jason Michaels hitting HRs against the Cardinals than it is against the Cubs.
  17. If we lose this game, we'll be 2-4 against them over our last 6 games.
  18. This team seems kinda dead today. All the sudden we can't hit at Wrigley. Is our scoreboard sign stealing thing broken?
  19. Kinda sucks when you get the pitching performances that we've gotten our last 4 games and then have Marquis pitch anything but brilliant.
  20. Any given day....especially when Marquis is on the mound.
