you name a pathetic way to lose these cubs teams have done it.
only good thing that happened was the brewers imploding in the 8th inning against the phillies.

Actually, I think they were about the same because I lettered in all sports, and I was a two-time state decathlon champion.

My sophomore year I placed 2nd, and my junior and senior year - I got smart and piled up enough points between myself and second place where I didn't have to run the mile.

Does Lou manage the pen like this every game? I think it's foolish when managers constantly do the lefty-righty switches. The advantage is really minor for the most part. I thought Ohman pitched well (he was hitting mid-90's I think) and thought he could have gotten Lo Duca out.
I think balking in the winning run is worse than walking in the winning run. There's no chance the batter can swing and miss and it's because of an even stupider mistake.Last edited by NYMets523; 05-14-2007, 09:20 PM."I'm happy for [Edwin Encarnacion] because this guy bleeds internally, big-time" -Dusty Baker

"I think balking in the winning run is worse than walking in the winning run."
Hitting a guy with the bases juiced on an 0-2 count to force in the winning run also kinda sucks...I think Willard Hunter did that with the '62 Mets."They put me in the Hall of Fame? They must really be scraping the bottom of the barrel!"

It probably won't happen anyway since the 3 Met pitchers with the guts to hit a batter are out."I'm happy for [Edwin Encarnacion] because this guy bleeds internally, big-time" -Dusty Baker

he could have unsnapped his gloves, dropped them and THEN jog like milton bradley. not to mention its SO commonplace nowadays that its not worth throwing at.

And good to see the bullpen pitch 2 perfect innings. I thought Howry and Dempster earned the good results with quality pitches, and didn't just get lucky. I expected Lilly to be the second best starter behind Zambrano this year, so I'm not too surprised by his continued quality starts.To offset some of the pain of being a diehard Cubs fan, I've learned to also be a moderate Yankees fan.
