un....fucking...believable

I’m sorry about my language but this is so fucking cliche.

Theriot can’t make a play, botches a DP
DeRosa can’t handle an easy DP
Lee cant fucking hit or fucking field when it COUNTS

2008 Cubs: Who needs nine innings, when you only need a 7th?

I'll forgive Theriot.

He got outfoxed by a superior manager.

DeRosa and Lee are wastes of space.

DeRosa can at least hit in clutch situations and is a veristile fielder

D-Lee is the opposite of clutch this season. He’s been only really great at fielding and he can’t even do that tonight

Where are the freaking pollyannas. I am about to go over the edge and I might just get banned. Time to take your last shots at DaBard

either way, the results are the same, at least save your energy to give love to those you care about!

I try to be positive...

But give me a reason. I’m just not feeling it tonight, they’ve given me no reasons.

Still time

But it kills me that FIELDING is why we’re losing right now

fielding tonight, not playing good ball at all

derrek lee has got to be traded....

one of the most mental weak players I have ever watched

by cubs2410 on Oct 2, 2008 9:20 PM CDT   0 recs

And what a shame it is...

He has everything but clutch ability.

I wouldn't say that

but he is past his prime, only 90 RBIs as the #3 hitter for the team that scored the most runs in the NL?

by JPetey on Oct 2, 2008 9:21 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Pinella didn't

misplay those routine infield hits.

No.....but he doesbn't...

have the prima donnas relaxed and ready to play … much unlike his counterpart in the 1b dugout

The best defense is a good offense.....Lou Pinella...still hasn't led the Cubs to a post season win

by kcjones on Oct 2, 2008 9:31 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

put yesterdays game on Lou

or at least leaving demp in too long, but not this game, he is fine

by JPetey on Oct 2, 2008 9:25 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

You know, I haven't seen them play like this all year long.

I don’t understand what’s going on.

There’s still time though, everyone needs to stop hanging their heads and play ball!

Hey, it's a new century!

What's the over/under on Cub baserunners the rest of the game

I say 2.

It ain't pinella's fault

this year or last year. This offense falls apart. I know the scoreboard will show the dodgers scoring 7 last night and probably about the same tonight and the focus will be on the pitching. But it is the offense’s inability to give our pitchers any margin of error in the playoffs. and if soriano and lee can’t get it done when it matters then good riddance.

it kinda was last night

not tonight though

Soriano

has at least got a hit tonight… I only took 5 post-season games to do so.

Good to see Z is still fighting.

Hope the rest of the team continues to do so, too.

need 5 runs before recording 21 outs. that can be done, with the right approach and attitude

You know, watching the hot corner feed on the internet is kind of cool

Need a Kerry Wood, 2003, Game 7 Moment

Only one thing will jumpstart this offense: Homer by the Big Z. The professional hitters won’t do. So lets say Z gets 2 or 3 back himself… that will wake people up.

Disagree......

At least got them past the Wrigley’s who didn’t give a 4 letter word that rhymes with truck……

It’s got them competitive…it’s got the fans to care……though….we’re STUCK with a few of these guys for a while…

The best defense is a good offense.....Lou Pinella...still hasn't managed the Cubs to a post season win. D. Lee still doesn't have a post seasson RBI/Run scored for Cubs...ditto for Soriano
