Hey, sure glad I just got home for
this debacle.

I
turned this crap off b4 I threw a remote through my big screen
from the mouth of Uecker:
"Am I the only one who’s glad it’s only a 4-game series? If was a 9-game series, I think the Cubs would win them all."
Uhh... got here just in time
to panic, I presume.

It's not panic
just frustration. Really, all they need to do this month is play .500, and it’s — the division, that is — is taken care of.
So far, oh-for September.

They all need to go out after the game tonight and get totally ripped
maybe the hangover tomorrow will make them forget their woes.

Doubt it.
If he does, he might just use him in long relief in a couple days like he did with Harang earlier this season and ruin him…
"It's Happening..."
The only thing keeping me (kind of) sane is
knowing that they all slump at once, and for the most part all snap out of it at once. The Sux went through this earlier this year; now they can’t miss the ball if they try. I’m just hoping against hope that they snap out of it before they lose too much ground to the Brwewers.
Rest assured, the Cubs are well in the leasd for the wildcard, so winning the division is meaningless. I think we all need to keep that in mind.

The White Sox were horrible in September '05
They had a 9 game lead in the division, ended the season with a 1 game lead. Correct me if I’m wrong. If the Cubs slump like they did, they’ll likely barely make the wild card.

In the grand scheme of thing, home field is meaningless.

Sorry, I'm almost in panic mode here
6 straight losses it looks like, with Marquis and Marshall going tomorrow and Sunday. The Reds are followed by @ St. Louis and @ Houston. Z’s out a couple of turns and Harden is being rested as well.
Someone cheer me up. Lee, DeRosa, Ramirez, and Soto will be rested for tomorrow, I guess…..

Worst case....`
4 game lead on Brewers tomorrow.
Believe me….like Demp said, they won’t lose every game in Sept.
The best defense is a good offense
Yeah, that's true
Still got the 4gm lead at least. Did a bit of research. We were on a skid (losing 7 of 11) before we went and swept at Milwaukee. NFL’s starting, and I’m going to Holland on business until Thanksgiving with my wife. Okay cheered up.

Here's a motivational joke for all you ledge jumpers out there
Two guys, “Chi” and “Mil”, go camping. They’re in their tent sleeping, when all of a sudden a loud crash wakes them up, followed by the sounds of something rather large foraging through their camp. Mil starts to whimper and cry “oh my god, what is it?”
Chi sticks his head out of the tent, takes a quick look and then comes back in and says “It’s a bear. Grizzly from the looks of it.”
Mil starts to whimper and cry even louder “oh my god, we’re going to die…”.
Chi sits there for a moment, and then starts to put on his shoes. Mil looks at him and says “what are you doing? are you crazy? You can’t out run a grizzly bear”
Lou looks back at him and then calmly states “I don’t have to outrun the bear. I just have to outrun you…”

Reds put on a clinic about “not leaving runners on base”
The best defense is a good offense
The offense that seems to go away when people are watching?

Too bad for him he couldn't do it the whole season
They’re still in last place last time I checked.
we're doing it to ourselves
At some point you have to stop chalking it up to “we just got beat tonight” or “we ran into a good pitcher tonight”. We’re going to see nothing BUT good pitchers in the playoffs, so they have to get their heads out of their asses and remember how to hit.

One of the Houston games
(frankly, they’ve blurred together) it seemed like everytme we hit the ball it got caught. Or we made more solid contact than they did but they found holes and we found gloves…
I just don’t know HOW you change that. Its frustrating.

To come out of this slump
The offense has to wake up. They are putting too much pressure on the pitching staff.

bothering them a lot more than it bothers us. They probably have put so much pressure on themselves. They’ll come out of it soon.
Not that it matters...

Cripes
Badger, you watch the Brewers as much as I do and I can’t figure out how Sabathia is so dominant. I mean, he has nice stuff, but come on. Nobody can get to him. The Cubs played one of their best games of the season and only got 4 and not all of those were earned. Am I missing something?
You're old enough to remember 1984, right?
Sutcliffe… Sometimes it happens.
He’ll lose a game or two yet, though — and this one ain’t over yet.
He’s had a few games where he’s given up a lot of hits.

I think a chunk of it is the new league
and the whole in the NL lineup for the pitcher, you can get an easy out…
I mean. He’s a great pitcher, but he’s not THIS good.
