LLL..... ...............I can't stand to post losses against the cubbies..... LWW. After yesterday's game, I'm kinda fed up with our stros. How were we shut out by the Pirates over 18+ innings?!
LWW A high-scoring game loss today would be ok with me, if it can help get our bats going and then we go on to win the next 2.
MadMax, you know me man....from all the damn posts I make every series. I never lose faith, I feel we will win 2 out of three. So, I feel we will win the series. I say 2 out of three, because I think there is a better chance of Wandy being struck by reality rather than pitching a nice game, which he is capable of....periodically. I'll be around, every game, every out, every pitch. hell, I was around till about 10min after last night's "game" at MMP. Man, that one really hurt. I bleed orange. Go Stros!
That's why I don't like to call them fans. We're up in the wild card and playing great (not now, obviously) and you've got idiots coming in here and whining. Of course, they're probably just trolls who get their kicks off trying to piss people off on an internet message board. But my optimism will not be diminished. Playoffs baby!!!! BTW: WWL
The last couple losses are defnitely hard ones to take (Sat night being the worst of the season for me) and I have to believe they do have a big effect on fans and the players themselves. Losses and slumps are going to hit every team, but the good ones are able to pull through it. This team has been through a hell of a lot more than this before. The confidence is lacking right now, and we need to get it back. All it takes is one good win though to get right back on track, and the Cubs are just the team to do it again. The Cubs are the team that jump started us last year, and it's time slap them upside the head once again. This time I want to see Roy make Michael Barrett cry WWW
LWL. Zambrano alwayes domiantes the Stros and Roy still seems to have a dead arm. Offense will continue to struggle with Burke in the lineup.
I dunno about this series. Cubs have begun to hit better and our O sucks right now. Roy needs some time off. Poopoora needs to get off his fat ass and get another bat too.
