I think going on the road will help this team

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.

might as well tack on another error
is that 4 or 5?
by bheidge on Oct 2, 2008 11:20 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
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.

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
by bheidge on Oct 2, 2008 11:54 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
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.
