You could also point to the numerous other games the Cubs lost over the course of the season as being equally responsible, whether they were losses to the Brewers or to the Nationals. Of course, ut he said that this game does not matter, then goes on to call ME ignorant.

At the end of the year, are you gonna care? If it costs us the division I will If we lose the division, it's not going to be this game that's the cause. It's gonna be the 18 more that we lose down the stretch. If we lose the division by 1 game, splitting the season series vs the worst team in baseball will have had nothig to do with it? Interesting logic. If we lose the division by 1 game, that means we're losing to the likes of the Reds, Pirates, and Astros down the stretch. Those are division teams, that we play a ton of. Those records are much more meaningful than a couple of 3 game series against the Nats. How about this? This game is a tradeoff for the one against the Marlins that we should've lost.... You're missing the point. You sid that it won't matter that we split the season series vs the Nats at the end of the season. If we end up losing the division by 1 game, it absolutely will have mattered. Yes there would be a big collapse in September, but that doesn't change the fact that we wouldn't have lost the division if we took care of the worst team in baseball. All I'm sayin is that this team has not clinched anything yet, so people need to stop acting like we've got things wrapped up. Nope. You're missing the point. One loss DOES NOT MATTER. Doesn't matter if what the margin of win/loss at the end is. It's a collective thing. This loss would matter exactly as much the other 49 this year. To put more importance on this game is ignorant. Okay, let's say we finish one game out of a playoff spot. If we won the season series vs the Nats, do we finish one game out of a playoff spot? Answer me that question please, instead of calling me ignorant.

The Angels have like a 15 game lead. Also the Natioansl are way worse than the Braves

Anybody notice that the par has been pretty lifeless this homestand? That includes the players too. Everyone looks bored.

Keep in mind that the Nationals scored a total of 26 runs during their 12 game losing streak that just ended.

Good thing we didn't pitch to Willie effing Harris.

and i never undersand how grown (?) men (?) literally act like five year olds denied a lollipop when their first place, slam dunk to make the playoffs baseball team gets behind 6-4 in the sixth inning of a virtually meaningless baseball game. yet it happens. We're not a slam dunk to make the playoffs, but okay. looooooool It's highly likely, but nothing is a slam dunk.

Without a doubt. Yes, how dare people expect to win a game against the worst team in baseball after leading 4-0. Ridiculous. feel free to fly off the handle whenever you want. don't be surprised when people say you're being irrational or crazy, though. So you think it's irrational to be upset about blowing a 4-0 against a terrible hitting team by issuing multiple walks? It's irrational and completely ridiculous to say that anything worse than a sweep is unacceptable, for one. Where did I say that?

So you think it's irrational to be upset about blowing a 4-0 against a terrible hitting team by issuing multiple walks? Nope. But I think people can be upset without being irrational. So how was I being irrational? Wow, Derrek Lee just missed 2 straight meatballs right down the middle.

On a day where the wind is blowing straight out, a 4-run lead is nothing. For all the times the Cubs have come back from 2-3-4 run deficits early in the game, one would think that there would be occasions where the reverse would happen. Last I checked, though, the wind is still blowing out, and the Cubs are still the highest scoring team in the NL. Does that guarantee victory? Absolutely not. But it's not absurd. The wind blowing out has nothing to do with walking the bases loaded.

Without a doubt. Yes, how dare people expect to win a game against the worst team in baseball after leading 4-0. Ridiculous. How dare people expect Cub pitching to be perfect every time out, even against the worst team in baseball. You don't have to be anywhere near perfect to hold a 4-0 lead against a terrible offense.

If you're talking about me, I'm here during wins as well.

When does Kosuke start getting booed? Also, Fukudome would e about my last choice off the bench. Sad.

Keep in mind that the Nats just ended a 12 game losing streak last night and we're about to give them a winning streak.

I hope Howry gives up about 5 runs here.

This is pathetic. Now we have to win 2 straight just to avoid a .500 homestand against the Red and Nationals.

Joe Nathan's ERA is under 1 now.

My friend, who is a valet, parked Pavano's car once and said he completely stiffed him on the tip. Pretty funny.

How is it a stretch? Following up an MVP season with a .261/.326/.421 season seems pretty bad to me.
