    Once again, we need hitters who don't swing at everything.

    Bullpucky. My argument does not require that Lilly had time to reflect. It requires only that Lilly have spent time training himself to control his reactions. actually, no. Testosterone + Nerves + Embarrassment + Hugely important situation + no self control = violent outburst Lilly has been on of the best pitchers at controlling his externalizing behaviors this year. Getting pissed off at giving up a 3 run jack is pretty understandable. I think the entire Cubs team and their manager are playing tight, playing not to loose, if you will. They are taking pitches they should be swininging at and swinging at pitches they should be taking. You just can't do that sort of thing and expect to win a playoff game. Especially Soriano, it is one of the things that got him traded from the Bronx a few years ago I think you're 100% right. They've been playing tight ever since the Marlins series IMHO. They didn't look tight in the Cincy series. They managed to win one game and then the race was over. They didn't have anything to play for @ Cincy.

    The way we're approaching ABs, honestly I would never throw a fastball or a strike to these guys. They'll get themselves out. Davis did not have good stuff yesterday. We handed him outs just like we've been doing many times this year with mediocre pitchers.

    If you told me Lee & ARam would suck in the NLDS, I'd tell you we won't be winning it. Unfortunately that is coming true. Either Lee & ARam start to play better or it is quite simply over.

    As I said, now watch as DD magically turns in to Cy Young. This pattern is all-too-familiar with this team.
  7. Soul
    That's the end of that. Think it's time to switch the channel for awhile, maybe Lilly will stop sucking while I'm away.

    How long before this organization infects him and he becomes just another low OBP free-swinger?
  9. Soul
    I would but I can't. I'm not enduring a hangover at work tomorrow for this, you bet on that.

    Everyone else will be watching the World Series, a.k.a. the ALCS
  11. Soul
    Now watch Doug Davis magically turn into Cy Young.

    That's what you get for being optimistic. There is a very fine line between optimism and stupidity. Always remember, every time you think the Cubs will do well, just tell yourself "They're the Cubs" and you'll come back down to earth. It's an 85 win ballclub that played in the weakest division in baseball. Frankly most years they would have been out of it a long time ago. Upset? Yes. Suprised? Not.

    Luck? I watched them win a dozen games this year by getting the big hit just like that. Did that look like luck to you? It's called getting a good pitch to hit and driving it when you have a scoring opp.

    4-2 now, Byrne just crushed that one. Lilly's got pretty much nothing.
  15. Soul
    Well you keep giving up walks and not throwing strikes that's what happens. I'm not sure why people are suprised. I felt that one coming a mile away. Do you folks realize this is how the DBacks made the playoffs in the first place?
  16. Soul
    All fears realized. God that sucks.
  17. Soul
    Lilly you are scaring me. Please stop!!
  18. Soul
    Much fear rising.

    So Chris Young. He hits .240. I've never seen us get him out, it seems. How can this be?
  20. Soul
    Dear Cubs: THAT IS HOW YOU MUTHA FRAKKIN BUNT.
  21. Soul
    God the DBacks are friggin cheaters too. Thank God Lou wouldn't put up with this crap.
  22. Soul
    Oh my God this is not happening. NO!
  23. Soul
    Looks like Ted's not going to be able to be sharp tonight. Damn it all.
  24. Soul
    Fixed.
  25. Soul
    He's basically Sosa without the bulk.
