Not sure I agree with the decision to pitch Marmol here

…It is too early.

If we come back and take the lead or tie the score, we are going to depend on Howry or something.

I’ve watched all season and thought this was the best Cub team in my lifetime.

And to watch them not even put up a fight, I am simply stunned.

It just seems like the last 6 months have been a complete waste of time.

I just can’t believe this has ended so quickly and painfully……..

Hey, it's a new century!

Well…97 times this summer it was great. All the wins, comebacks, great performances. Hell it was fun on this board too (ie. Milton (miss it), TWSS, Bill Murray, FIRSTS, and what nots). It was a great season with an extremley disappointing ending

A mystery that will never be answered

How can a team that won 97 games in the regular season play so badly in the division series and lose 3 straight?

easy...walk too many people...make errors...and leave runners on base.

Also taking strikes and swinging at balls will help.

Hey

I got home from work at 10:30 and was really into it. I didn’t have the energy to type and watch. Guess I thought focusing all my attention on the game would help. I had ultimate hope clear through the 8th inning. I mean where did these kick butt relievers come from??? If I had to come up with a weakness on this team it was most of them.

Just craziness. How sickening. Can’t even put into words the other things I feel right now. They just couldn’t overcome the mental part of the game. Everyone had a failure at some point during these three games. Hell, some of them all three games. I will never understand how this happens. Year after year, after year, after year……after year, after year.

to stop. Just wish I knew when.

Glad you are still here :-)

Feels very empty tonight. I don’t blame anyone for calling ti a night though.

A lonely townie bar….by I had the Captain onboard at least

That's good. You can always count on the Captain.

I thought about heading out after the game, but I am on borderline Cards territory. Didn’t feel like getting arrested by the people I work with for beating the shit out of some mouthy drunk Cards fan. Instead I had a smoke while I took down my Cubs flag, grabbed a Coors Light, and got on here.

I live in Maryville, IL

and work in STL… I kept a low profile at the bar…no cubs stuff. Just wanted to drink alone and not hear anything.

That was a good idea then.

I am in Canton about halfway between STL and Chicago. It’s usually fun to be here, but tonight, I couldn’t take that risk.

Where do we go from here...

The offseason should be interesting…

They should compete again next year, but I fear the injury bug. Likewise, I fear that unless the add an impact bat, that pressure will kill the current guys since they have yet to prove that they can do it.

I tried to come up with an answer,

but my brain can hardly digest the ugliness of the last week. Can’t come up with a plan yet.

I like to think that DeRosa, Johnson and Soto are having a drinking contest right now...

and they’re going to destroy their hotel rooms tonight.

Reed

Is probably doing swings with the bat that he never got to use.

Yeah...

What the fuck was that all about? Not even one AB!

We lost because Reed didn't play?

by santoswoodenlegs on Oct 5, 2008 1:18 AM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

Oh God know...

But I think he deserved at least one AB at some point…

Exactly

It’s not that I think that he would have hit some bases empty grand slams. It’s just one more little thing to be pissed off about.

by mkacer on Oct 5, 2008 1:20 AM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

My extra gripe

is that Lilly got put on game 4. It’s too bad. I thought he was a game 3 shoe in. Oh well.

Well...I understand the rational for saving him till LA

Not a homer park…which was his achille’s heal all year.

But he was the best pitcher down the stretch though

Or game 2

I wanted Harden in game 1, followed by lilly and dempster. I like Z and he pitched a hell of a game, but I never wanted him in game 2.

In the end...

It really came down to the hitters and fielders…Nobody swung the bats outside of Dero and DLee. Hardly any walks…too aggresive, failed to take things the other way. No real leadoff hitter to work counts.

True

I just would have felt better going in with a different rotation. Not that it mattered. They could have all pitched 3 run games and it wouldn’t have mattered with our comatose offense.

by mkacer on Oct 5, 2008 1:33 AM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

Agreed

What was Dome doing in there? Sure he mustered a hit, but why not put someone fresh in the show? We will never know.

I would like to think

that DLee isn’t going to “just forget about it” like he just said in his interview. I guess I get what he is saying, but to a me, as a Cubs fan, I want him to cry hard enough he pukes in the shower tonight and then has uncontrolable dry heaves for an hour.
