    Today was such a waste. This could have been the huge test. A team that always beats us was throwing one of the NLs best pitchers - a win could have shown that this team really turned a corner for the home stretch. Instead they crap the bed. The whole damned team. I'm so pissed that I spent all day in anxious anticipation for this garbage. 5-2 is a much closer score than the game seemed to be. Felt a lot more like it should have been about 10-0.

    Lou's justification is, he wants to ride the strong horses down the home stretch. That sounds fine in theory and I have no problem with the idea of thinking outside the box in crunch time. However, when you look at this particular situation any closer, there's absolutely no justification for it. Z has gotten killed by the Reds all year. He's gotten killed by all other teams most of the rest of the season. He has the worst ERA in the rotation, so he's only one of the "horses" by reputation and salary, not by season performance. Against Aaron Harang, the chances of winning regardless of who we trot out on the mound are pretty slim anyway.

    Effing pathetic. Whole stinking team.

    Please score at least 1 run this inning, Cobs. I'd prefer 12, but let's just put something on the board.

    Santo saying KW has hit 95 and 96 on the gun this inning. Too bad he can't hit the strike zone too :x
  6. CubmanPi
    Santo: "I could steal a base off of Will Ohman." :lol:

    They sang Ryno happy birthday after the stretch. I really liked his radio interview too. He could end up being a very reputable big league manager before he hangs it up.
  8. CubmanPi
    With all the HR they've hit this month, they've gotta be spent. They'll score some more runs next week.
  9. CubmanPi
    Yea Strap!!
  10. CubmanPi
    Harang will go the distance on 90 pitches.
  11. CubmanPi
    More 2-out RBIs, mental mistakes, wild Z, etc etc. wtg, Cobs.

    Lou on the pregame said Floyd can probably play but is still tender.
  13. CubmanPi
    Fixed for pessimism. haha, i like it
  14. CubmanPi
    Good to see Murton in there, but someone made the point recently that if they had to choose between seeing Murton or Soto, they'd choose Soto because Floyd has been killing the ball lately. I agree. Not a bad lineup tho.
  15. CubmanPi
    Any lineups yet? Can they start an hour early? My prediction for Z's line: 8IP, 1R, 2BB, 13K But that's only if he sucks tonight. If he's on... lookout.
  16. CubmanPi
    Still 2.5 hrs left. Slowest. Day. EVAR.
  17. CubmanPi
    Ryan Braun and Corey Hart will combine to go 7-10, 3HR, 9RBI.
  18. CubmanPi
    You empty the basepaths because EVERYONE SCORES. Why in the world would you prefer to be down 2 runs with a runner on over being down 1 run with no one on, when there isn't any difference in outs? It's the perception of the homerun serving as the rally-killer. Either way, the guy at the plate has to score, so that doesn't change. The difference is, the runner at second keeps the pitcher in the stretch/under pressure/whatever. I don't know which way I'd fall on this one, but I at least understand the thought process.
  19. CubmanPi
    i like soto just fine. but come on, he's not in THAT league. there are at least 100+ posts that are just his name right now. it's ludicrous Really I've never seen them Me neither. :whistles, looks away:
  20. CubmanPi
    Are you trying to test the Cubs? Not really - I'm sure they could just go claim LaTroy off waivers in time for him to pull off another doozy. I don't put anything past them, I just think the aforementioned game was pretty brutal.
  21. CubmanPi
    The second time Z faced Harang this season, the Cubs took a 5-0 lead into the top of the 5th. By the time the Reds made their first out of the fifth inning, they already led 6-5, which was the final. So I guess one bright side to the game tonight is that if they lose, it can't be TOO much more brutal than that one was.
  22. CubmanPi
    I can't believe this game is still 4.5 hours away. Gonna go eat, drain the snake, pace around the halls for a while, come back, look at the clock, and get pissed that I only killed 15 minutes doing all that. Play some soap-dropping ball!!
  23. CubmanPi
    Your family members really need to be more considerate with their timing. I guess I can't blame them though, the way this race is going. (Sorry if that's not funny, and sorry for your loss. Hopefully it proves to be a bittersweet day.)

    I thought we won the flip vs. the Cardinals, but lost in the event of a tie with the Brewers? I could be wrong, but I thought that's what I heard. http://www.northsidebaseball.com/PremiumForum/viewtopic.php?t=43946 viewtopic.php?t=43946 Nope, won vs. brewers, lost vs Cards. Thanks - I was just about to post that I was remembering it the same way JJD did. Not that it matters much, as the Cubs have done well against Milwaukee in both places, and it would just mean Miller Park gets to be Wrigley North one last time this season. I'm still glad it's Wrigley.

    Still 7 hours left. Losing... my... mind...
