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

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

I don’t understand what’s going on.

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

YOU CAUGHT THE BALL

just looked depressed after that catch.

wheres your thread, i want to be in that one

and support Z!!

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

now only if the infield played that good

GREAT JOB Z……………………. GREAT JOB><

because it only has the crowd noise, no commentary by annoying announcers.

deserves a good bottom… GoCubsGo!

need to get some momentum

it.

SCORE SOME RUNS PLEASE

might be left with a steering wheel and a headlight at this point

I’m not declaring this series/season over, because until its over, its just not over. However, we all know what is approaching very quickly: a fall from grace that no one really saw coming. It was 6 months of some of the best summer nights I’ve ever had. WE REALLY did believe this was different. The only thing I can take from this, is what I said during the Houston series, in which they looked a lot like this, and were then swept, sending us into a small tailspin. This team is not cut out to play in a tough atmosphere. They don’t have the metnal toughness.

I understand that the Cubs have come through with some pretty wild comebacks over the span of this season, however when were their backs really against the wall? Comebacks in game 108 are quite irrelevant when it comes to the postseason. Its a mental game. Its what you bring in your heart to the ball park when you get punched in the mouth. Do you stand up and fight back? Or, do you tighten up and lean on the other players in your lineup?

This team, with the given leadership (Lou, Lee, Soriano) is not going to win a World Series. They don’t have the guts. If you step away from the emotion its clear to see they’re way too tight. Lou is a chair thrower. Zambrano is a chair thrower. Its clear the way they have performed in the post season. The tighter you wind up, the harder you snap.

I fully understand that this isn’t last years team. But look at the core of the team, and its management. Its the same. I’m not calling for heads, but something needs to happen. Something needs to change, where the attitude of this team needs to be adjusted. Call me what you want, I’m not being rude. I’m not swearin, I’m not calling for heads to roll. I’m calling for some leadership to be brought to this team. They clearly need it.

not sure why everyone is after him. One of the few on this team that is executing

no way in hell

2 errors………WTF

we couldve taken them

make you wish they didn’t play a single regular agasint the Mets?

This isn’t Z’s fault by any means, but this team is done for this year. Lou screwed up last night, but this one is on the players.

What good is having the best record playing in the best division in the league if you play like this? At home, no less.

I had a bad feeling going into last night’s game, and now I have a pit in my stomach. What a waste of a summer. I don’t care what anyone says about how the season isn’t lost if they don’t win the WS. If they don’t even win a game in the postseason, it’s a waste of a summer. It was fun at the time, but I’m about to take down my Cubs flag and put the Bears flag up.

Baseball season is over.

some jack daniels. get them drunk as shit. Could only play better

I just want the bats to start doing something.

of getting out of it

Now kick some ass in the dugout and make things happen on the field!

to start the rally of the season

and I fucking suck

How can you not like that, compared to Dempster yesterday?

I still like the Geico caveman commercials.

hes just been night and day

i would be sitting in my seat with a unique pissed/nervous/and feeling a emotion only cubs and red sox fans can experince

LETS GO CUBS!! LETS GO CUBS!! LETS GO CUBS!!

didn’t hit into a DP!

Manny is a butcher out there, he will make things happen for us

DP for Lee.

DLEE there

LETS GO CUBS!!

go Twolves

I can’t watch any more.

a shot at it

IF this ends the way it seems it’s going to then Hendry needs to make some changes in the offseason. Just making the playoffs isn’t good enough anymore. We need 2 solid left-handed bats and a premier starting pitcher. The team we have now reminds me a lot of the Astros teams in the late ’90s – great during the season but they never had the bats or dominant starters to do anything in the playoffs. This offseason will be an opportunity to show that we are a large market team committed to winning it all not just hoping we get lucky like the White Sox.

That being said I hope they turn this thing around and prove me wrong.

about right.

He launched that

Shit

SCORE SOME FUCKING RUNS

Keep Me Away From Sharp Objects

2-0 were it not for the errors

his team got fucking outplayed and he has made some shit decisions. I just wonder.

Could anyone really see this coming?

we’ve still got 5 AB’s left — nothing is over yet

derrek lee fucking learn to play baseball.
Aramis Ramirez learn to fucking field the ball.
Ryan Theriot i fucking hate you
Kosuke Fukudome go back to fucking Japan cause the shit that you did this year is embarrasing.
Zambrano get a brain learn to pitch in pressure.

Remember the 84 Paders…let’s one’up them

but this is bad

this team will choke under any pressure whatesoever. just thank god that life isn’t all about baseball because if it was then i would have been gone. I might just never be a cubs fan after this year

i’m just shocked out my mind this is just unbelieveable

they have to lose twice for me to go anyways
so why not the first two

Dome…. What happened to him?

I’m usually a positive person. I have supported the Cubbies all my life. But I gotta tell you that right now I am pretty pissed. They are choking again, just like last year.

The optimist in me says, “Hey, remember the Marlins in 2003? The Cubs had them down 3 games to 1 and just needed that fourth win. The Marlins pulled it out, and went on to win the World Series. The optimist in me says, "Hey, maybe the Cubs will win Saturday and then the next night, and then the last game to go on to the Championship game!”

The realist in me says, “Nope. We suck. Our suckiness is a disease that infects every player to wear the blue pinstripes.”

Am I still a Cubs fan? Yes. Am I still pissed? You betcha.

too late to matter
