View Full Version : Cubs-Diamondbacks Game 2
I figure I can start a different thread for each game in this series, since there's probably only gonna be two more of them left, tops.
I BELIEVE!!! :D
Anyway, we're already in postseason form with runners on base. Which is to say, scoreless. And since Ted Lilly is Ted Lilly, he walked the leadoff hitter. Gah.

Lilly is looking horrible, but just made Stephen Drew look worse.

I swear, Lilly needs to find some frickin control.

Thank you, Lilly. Cubs give you a lead, and you give it right back.
So who was saying that Lilly isn't shaky?
At least we managed to have a lead this time.

You gotta be kiddin me. Get an out, plz.
maybe if we'd have had all three outfielders standing within five feet of the wall, that might have gotten held to a single.
And that's why we're the Cubs. :mad:

What a great 3-0 green light. I've been seeing that a lot in the playoffs, and I really don't understand it.

A Gold Glove LF or CF makes that an out.
Apparently, playing more than three extra games really f*cks with the guys' vacation plans.
Oh, and Frank Calliendo can suck a dick. F*cking unfunny waste of pie.

i think my 13 year old could have made that catch, but he's a pretty good outfielder. :)

Freakin' Doug Davis? The guy is a horrible pitcher, and if the Cubs can't beat him they don't deserve to even play game 3
tommieharris91

Well, at least that hit came on the first pitch, instead of the tenth.
It's almost like Lilly is trying to encourage our offense by showing them how easy getting hits can be. "Look, guys! See how many hits they're getting?"
Jesus H. Christ & Associates, make it stop.

He's left-handed, so he becomes Sandy Koufax against the Cubs.
OMG a DP. Amazing!

Frank TV looks worse than caveman.
Soto is doing everything in his power to keep us in this game.
Sadly, whereas we only have one guy giving good effort, Arizona has an entire team that's playing like they're not retards.

And he just K'd.
Apparently he got the memo in the dugout between innings about getting a good tee time before it's too cold in Chicago.
that was like a slow motion dive in real time...

I can't hang with this tonight; it looks like it will end around midnight, and i need some sleep; keep the faith guys!!
with Lilly at the plate, you almost have to ask "who's swinging who?"

So, how many "There's always next year" signs are we going to see in Chicago next game?
tommieharris91
10/4/2007, 10:37 PM
Actually, with Lilly at the plate you can just tell the other 8 guys on the field to get ready for their half of the inning.
way to hustle to the bag Lilly...

When did Augie Ojeda become good?
So, how many "There's always next year" signs are we going to see in Chicago next game?
at least one...
My buddy is going to game 3...and he's a white sox fan.

So explain to me how Ojeda's not out for going outside the baseline? He clearly had both feet outside the second parallel line; that was a bull**** call

He still sucks

Well, I guess if they won, they wouldn't be the lovable losers anymore...
So explain to me how Ojeda's not out for going outside the baseline? He clearly had both feet outside the second parallel line; that was a bull**** call
because the rule is somewhat confusing
Any runner is out when --
(a) (1) He runs more than three feet away from his baseline to avoid being tagged unless his action is to avoid interference with a fielder fielding a batted ball. A runner’s baseline is established when the tag attempt occurs and is a straight line from the runner to the base he is attempting to reach safely; or (2) after touching first base, he leaves the baseline, obviously abandoning his effort to touch the next base;
So it really has nothing to do with the lines on the field...

A STRIKE!

well i'm done, and so are the Cubs; freakin' pathetic.

Well.....Come on Lou, you pulled your pitcher for 6 innings, one run, what are you going to do now?

Okay, but it's still a blown call IMO; he cleary went out of the baseline to avoid the tag, but it wouldn't matter anyway as bad as Lilly is sucking.

10/4/2007, 10:49 PM
This is unbelievable! 3 1/3 innings pitched, 80 something pitches!
Okay, but it's still a blown call IMO; he cleary went out of the baseline to avoid the tag, but it wouldn't matter anyway as bad as Lilly is sucking.
yeah, but it's pretty much umpires discretion as to where the baseline gets established...
thats a call that you aren't going to see very much past little league.
F*ck it; I'm going to bed. I'm not gonna lose any more sleep putting myself through this torture.
Sooner_Havok
10/4/2007, 10:58 PM
OK, four runs....this is do-able...Oh right the Cubs....I bet the Rockies-D-Backs game will be pretty good!

Can we get Z to hit tonight?
Ted Lilly is Steve Bartman with a roster spot. :mad:

Top 6th, Ward comes in to pinch hit with men on 1st and 2nd. Has a great AB, and hits the ball HARD to straightaway center for a 2-run double, making the game 8-4. It kinda makes last night's moves look even worse.
So Kerry Wood comes in, and the commentators start talking about Wood & Prior and "the saviors of the Chicago Cubs franchise". Bleh.
Oh well, at least getting swept in the divisional round won't sting nearly as bad as choking in the NLCS.
