Better play well on ESPN tomorrow

 

No offense, but tomorrow will be a Cub lovefest on there unless the miracle happens today.

They have nothing to lose going for the sweep.

Our only hope is to show maximum balls and somehow tie this game.

Odds of that are probably 1,000-1 right now.

Edmonds checked his swing, he should be out!

Massett at least looking like he cares. Thank you Nick for saving the pen today. Well Javy likes big games and tomorrow will be the biggest of the season thus far for momentum purposes, gotta hope he brings his A game. If he throws like he did against Pittsburgh, we'll be seeing another one of today's games.

We better hope they trot Marmol out there so he can walk and hit the bases loaded.

Javy likes big games? That's a new one.

I bet people have the same thoughts about Floyd and Danks.

You know, except that Danks is like 23 and Floyd is 25....Dempster is close, only like 30.

Jim "Babe Ruth" Edmonds just walked. :rolleyes

Oh boy, three run homer here and I turn off the TV.

It'd be too sick to imagine.

As RockRaines and a few others were stating in the Cubs thread, Dempster's seemed to have found the "fountain of youth". Maybe it's the same magic that Soto and Gallagher (who went from throwing 91 mph last season to 95 mph this season) found. I'm always suspicious of older players that bounce back from surgeries and seem to have found a lot of success. It's also a reason that I think we'll see older players hit the wall more quickly in the past, as players that don't take performance enhancers will age like they're actually supposed to (case in point, Thome).

I'm very skeptical of Soto. He's doing things in the majors that his numbers in the minors wouldn't suggest he ever had a chance of doing.

I am talking about how he says he likes pitching in big games.

Maybe we should think about adding some pitching? At least there's going to be some impact pitchers available.

Don't be skeptical of Soto...be certain.

Quit nibbling, Masset. Go after the hitter. If he homers, you join today's homer club yu don't get executed.

Didn't Massett own the Cubs last year? We should have given him a spot start this series, and we should give him one the next.

This is like taking a public flogging.

11-5. Sigh, this is gonna take a hit on our team ERA.

PUT IT ON THE BOOOOOARD....YESSSSSSSS

I'm really sick of this. It's difficult to come back when we're continuing to give up runs.

Care to reconsider that? He's pitching like a scared pussy right now.

FWIW, I apologize for saying fire Ozzie now. I was caught up in the moment. He is doing a terrible job this weekend so far, but on the whole this year, he's been good.

his remastering of the line up that lead to that hot streak earlier in the year was genius.

He's facing the Cubs offense, in a 10-5 (now 11-5) game, the wind is blowing out- tell me you wouldn't be doing to same.

He did like crap yesterday, you can't blame him for today's game. It's Contreras' job to pitch at least 5 innings.

I wish big leaguers would think about the importance of Game One of a series.

Why didn't we win 7 or 8-1 yesterday???

Stupid overpaid veterans who know better.

That game should have been broken wide open against Lilly in the middle innings.

f***.

The sad thing is the wasted opportunity we had earlier this year. We could of put up a lot more wins if our offense didnt suck. We would have a large cushion we could ride while we face the cubs. That and our one trick pony offense is going to be our deathfall this year. We are letting everyone back into the race, and we dont have the minors to pull off a trade to get anything.
