  1. One loss and all the good feelings generated over the past week and a half are gone, huh? LOL I don't know if was the loss itself last night, or the way we lost. The bottom of the 8th was some of the worst baseball I have ever seen in my life. Even the very best teams in the league will lose games looking awful...and the worst teams will look great in some games. It's inevitable with a 162 game schedule and the nature of the game. Last night's game doesn't tell me anything I didn't know about the team before the night began. Thank god for you. I tell myself that everyday.
  2. Having 2001 Sammy and 2005 D-Lee is pretty solid.

  4. Funny thing is, after the signing went on there, I felt obliged to go on there and warn them about how bad it was gonna be. I got flamed to no end, outside of a little support from a couple of more SABR-oriented fans.

  6. Juan Pierre is just so bad at baseball. It amazes me that he even has a job in the majors, let alone a job as an everyday player getting paid $9 mil/year.
  7. My run ends at 5-1. Hopefully, I don't start another game thread the rest of the year... or, at least, not until the playoffs.
  8. Yea, Ryan Dempster completely sucking in the 9th had nothing to do with it. Or Jacque Jones being beyond useless in the 8th. Or the fact that Soriano drove in the third run or threw a guy out at home in extras. This one is all on Soriano, folks. I think you're taking my comment too personal toward Soriano. Jones, Murton, Demp, lots of people sucked. However, he scores that run in the 1st, we wouldn't have even been in extras. Dempster holds the lead, we wouldn't have been in extras. See how that works? Yeah? You just added another reason. See, I'm not DISAGREEING with it like you are mine. You stated that Soriano's failed tag up was THE losing run. Sounds like a pretty absolute statement to me.

  10. Yea, Ryan Dempster completely sucking in the 9th had nothing to do with it. Or Jacque Jones being beyond useless in the 8th. Soriano's failed run STILL was the losing run. So where many other bases loaded and men on third opportunities. But point is, He scores that, we win. Just pointing out that, when you don't take the runs you are given. THIS can happen. This is a ridiculous argument. I can say the same about Dempster giving up the lead in the 9th. How are you trying to pin the loss on one play when the entire team sucked for most of this game?
  11. The pitching sucked late, regardless of the amount of runs they gave up. They were in jams in just about every inning. Eventually, it's going to catch up to you.

  13. Only the Cubs can be so adept at snatching defeat out of the jaws of victory. It's been real guys. The game thread run ends. :x
  14. Nah, the law of suckness has to catch up to us sometime What exactly would you call a WP in that situation if not "suckness" catching up?
  15. I don't think the bum threw a strike that whole at bat. I hate Scott Eyre.
  16. This might be a stupid question, but can you attempt to steal on one of those soft intentional walk tosses? I mean, I can't see why you couldn't, since you can even reach out and hit it (ala Miggy).
  17. And Riot's BABIP will climb again.
  18. Of course, against a lefty, Jones comes though with the worst possible outcome. Anybody see that coming?
  19. Sure seems like there's a lot of former White Sox relievers in this game.
