I think going on the road will help this team

Blah blah blah
They choked and will get beat on Sat. for the sweep. No heart, complete and total collapse.

Just 1 F***ing year, can they show up for the playoffs!!!!!!!!!!!!!
thank god...
… mariotti’s gone so tomorrow i don’t have to read whatever he would have wrote about this game.

Remember Bluto...
“Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no! And it ain’t over now…”
It’s not what you want, obviously, but it ain’t over. I hope you get some well deserved rest. The Cubs have had a great season and it ain’t over!
We just can't hit playoff-quality pitching
The hitting disappears against good pitchers with a good plan. And we can’t afford to play Fukudome. Johnson works for me, but Pie would be better, too..
Maybe we need to watch tape of the Phillies putting away Sabathia today. Could learn a thing or two.
Turn out the lights
The party’s over!!!!!!!!!
I want to know why this team didn’t show up for the playoffs!!!!
Sorry Al, but this FUCKING sucks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Boy.... Is it more quiet here
or at Wrigley?

Infinity.
I added the extras, and the Infinity, just in case I missed any other times when I needed to say it.
Come on guys, let’s go! We’ve been down worse than eight runs in the ninth before and come back (I’m trying to be an optimist).
I can't imagine
how painful it must be.

should be 5...
how he didn’t get an error in the 2nd inning on the hit-&-run is rediculous….he gloves it, he gets an out at first. Bad decision by the scorer.
BELIEVE!
it would have been a tough play
only thing he could do is knock it down and keep the runner at second
Alright guys and gals
off to bed…. Let’s bring it back to Chicago for game 5 and the NLCS! GO CUBS GO!

ah I remember opening day with him in the lineup against the reds
double down the line to start the game. good times…..good times
why the hell do I remember that?
triple
Murton 3 run HR in that inning too.
BELIEVE!
are you sure?
actually I think you are right…must be a little foggy. That truly was a season to forget
Wow
Theriot will cause the riot with his suckiness tonight

i know this seasons not over
but the Cubs seriously need to get a big time bat in the middle of the lineup. A big time consistant bat.
At least the Frank TV
commercials are funny.
BELIEVE!
hes just awful
Im completely dumbfounded how he got his own show
Okay, just so I understand it... in your wildest fantasy, you are in hell. And you are co-running a bed and breakfast with the devil.
between this year and last
there has been one of his commercials on every break. I hope he can pull in somewhat of a decent rating
and oh the irony of me
getting picked in the NLCS raffle. This team has surprised me again and again this year. I just dont see how they can pull wins in LA off. God I wish with all my heart they can.

even if we win games 3&4 and then come back to win game 5….
i really can’t forgive them for tonight’s home performance and what they’ve done to us loyal fans — really!

The only silver lining
if the Cubs lose Saturday, I won’t have to listen to this terrible announce team anymore…

It's not over until it's over....
Hiroki Kuroda will be pitch in Game 3 – Dome loves to hit against Kuroda (.300+ ave and 4 homeruns in Japan, and 2-for-3 and a RBI this year), but I don’t know he will be in the lineup on Saturday.

When I was leaving home it was 2-0, then in my car on the way to a meeting it was 5-0, now 10-1…Maybe our hitters will relax now, I see it’s 10-3

This bunch is not ready for prime time, period. Spit the bit, couldn’t handle the immense pressure. Best team in the NL, my ass. Sorry to say but they choked, too many uncharacteristic errors to call it anything else.

The magic has gone bye bye..........
that was not the team that won 97 games…..that was the team that was scared of post season……..or there really is a curse of some kind……..I don’t know but wish I knew what it felt like to feel good during a post season……
Realisticlly the Cubs have weaknesses, every team does and the damn offense has just disappeared.
I could see the D costing us a game because to me our D is poor, especially middle infield, but the poor showing by our top hitters that is extremely frustrating.
I think the unbalanced schedule can hide a weaker team, too.
If Harden wins
then Lilly on Sunday? Never know??
BELIEVE!
never know
but we need fielding, pitching and hitting
I dont have high hopes all three of those can come together from what they have shown
If it happens then it has to start with shut down pitching and tight D.
I know I said no chance above but hey, we have another game to play, let’s try our best.

It's easier to take these losses in terms of the next day effect...
…I took ff work the day after in 2003, that was far more painful. This is very painful, but it’s more like “the posers were not that good” rather than a few outs from the WS.
no one blames you man.
