Consider me shocked not just that the Suns beat the Spurs tonight but in the way they didn't. I didn't see SA giving up and 8 point advantage going into the fourth quarter including a 10 point lead with 8:44 to go. You don't see the Spurs give away many leads like that.

You don't recall our bullpen with Alfonsucka or Hawkins then? Well, in a couple years you'll probably be saying, "don't you remember those bozos Howry, Eyre, and Ohman?" It's really that bad. This is definitely in Alfonsucka territory, don't you think? How many leads do they have to blow? Cubs bullpen ERA's: 2007: 3.61 (before today) 2006: 4.04 2005: 4.24 2004: 4.03 2003: 4.16 2002: 4.86 2001: 3.93 2000: 5.17 This is the best pen the Cubs have had in a while.

Um, Delgado is really struggling this year. Beltran is mashing. Walking Beltran is the way to go. Reyes scores from second on a single. It's not Lou's fault Wuertz couldn't throw strikes. Doesn't matter. With the bases loaded and the game tied in the bottom of the ninth, you have no margin for error. A wild pitch or passed ball, game over. A walk or HBP, game over. Any type of hit and the game is over. At least with runners on first and second, a WP/PB doesn't end the game. A BB/HBP doesn't end the game. An infield hit doesn't end the game. Even a hardhit ball to the outfield doesn't end the game (since the OF will likely be playing in in that situation for that very reason). Your margin for error is gone. I don't know about you, but I would rather have Beltran drive home the winning run with a hit than have Delgado get walked with the bases loaded. It was a bad idea to do that.

i hate being right The problem is that the "pour it on" game is almost always followed by the "unable to score" game. At least with that scenario, the Cubs win one of the games.
-
AND THAT IS WHY YOU DON'T BASICALLY INTENTIONALLY WALK A GUY TO LOADED THE BASES!! Idiots. Should have just pitched to Beltran. At least the Mets would have earned the win then.
-
Thank you.
-
Good god he hit that hard.
-
He's going to walk him in. I just know it.
-
Slider.
-
Brewers lose.
-
Ugh.
-
Yes, let's bring Carlos Beltran to the plate with the winning run at second. Brilliant.
-
Yeah Dusty, you think Wuertz is SO good. That's why you had him stuck in AAA for 3.5 months last year.
-
Weeks, Hardy, Fielder coming up for Milwaukee. 8-6 Phillies going to the ninth.
-
Sac fly. 8-6 Philly. 2 outs. 6 runs in the eighth for the Phillies. 1st and 3rd, two out with Victorino coming up. EDIT: 4 runs have been charged to Turnbow and both on the bases are his also. New pitcher for Milwaukee.
-
A long single by Wes Helms. 7-6 Philly, bases still loaded, one out. Rowand up.
-
6-6 in Philly. Bases still loaded, one out.
-
O'Brien continues to butcher his name. It's actually getting funny at this point.
-
Phillies have bases loaded and one out right now. Turnbow is pitching and Carlos Ruiz is up.
-
Double for Theriot.
-
Philly has 3 runs in in the bottom of the 8th. It's 6-5 Milwaukee and Philly is still batting.
-
Well they've already gone 6 innings without any runs so what's another six? Typical Cubs.
-
I assume DLee isn't available to pinch hit today?
-
Yeah Dusty. Henry Blanco and his 49 career home runs in 1976 at bats is a power threat. Idiot.

Neil Cotts says your welcome.
