Ahhh, time for the always fun Cub Fan Post-Season Pucker, where we sit nervously through every minute of every playoff game, waiting for the crazy thing that makes it all go horribly, terribly wrong.
Bottom 1, two out, man on third. My ulcer starts early.

And Big Z works his way out of the jam. Still scoreless as we head to the 2nd.
If the Cubs could steal homefield tonight and Rice could knock off Southen Miss, it'd be a pretty damn good sports night for me.

Hooray! Big Z leads off the top of the 3rd with a double! I love it when your pitcher gets your first big hit.
Of course, I hate it when your leadoff hitter strikes out right after. If they strand him, he may punch everyone in the dugout.

Aaaaaaand...they strand him.
F*ck, I may start the punching.

Guh. That homer the D'backs got may be all they need tonight.
Oh, the unbridled optimism of being a Cub fan.

The Cubs are down 1-0 and can barely get a runner on against Webb, and Rice is in the middle of blowing a 31-7 lead. F*ck you, sports. F*ck you in your earhole.

Good move pulling Zambrano after 85 pitches for Marmol.
Same problem as they've had all year, hitting with RISP.
Yes, this sucks.

Hey, 2 more games until we can say "There's always next season"

Meh. I picked the Cubs to lose tonight. Tomorrow, against an average left-hander in Doug Davis, will determine if the Cubs can win the series. The Cubs can't hit lefties this season, but on paper, the Cubs have the better matchup tomorrow.
Great game by Soriano.
Hopefully he'll start to pick up where he left off in September....like tonight.
Hopefully they'll all start to pick up where they left off tonight. Geez.
The thought that our chances rest in the shaky hands of Ted Lilly really isn't comforting.

Lilly isn't that shaky, IMO. The thought of the Cubs going up against a southpaw tonight worries me. I hope they hit him around, but the Cubs have been awful all season against left-handers.
Well, maybe my opinion is colored by the fact that every time I get a chance to watch him pitch he gets hammered.
Maybe I should just go to bed early tonight.

Sometimes I think I drink alot, then I see, like, the Motley Crüe behind the music, and realize I'm a huge *****.
The game tonight just by itself might put you to sleep.Well, maybe my opinion is colored by the fact that every time I get a chance to watch him pitch he gets hammered.

Anyone else wonder why he pulled Z after 6? And if he knew he wanted to pull him, why not pinch hit for him when the bases are loaded and there are two outs? Zambrano is a good hitting pitcher, but if you are going to yank him after three more outs, why not pull the trigger a little sooner and get a better bat in there?

Well hell, Z got the first extra base hit of the game for the Cubs. And he damn near knocked in a run, but the D'Backs shortstop climbed the ladder to rob him.

Not a good night for Lou IMO; all his moves backfired
