Texsox Posted October 2, 2004 Share Posted October 2, 2004 I love it when the cubs are playing for pride I haven't followed them much, besides Sosa being Soso, who else is to blame? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackie hayes Posted October 2, 2004 Share Posted October 2, 2004 The only thing that would have made this better is....if Alou was out looking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danman31 Posted October 2, 2004 Share Posted October 2, 2004 I haven't followed them much, besides Sosa being Soso, who else is to blame? Dusty Baker. Let's put it this way: When Baker put in Remlinger in the 8th when the Braves took the lead I said to my dad, "Uh oh, Dusty Baker is making a pitching change. He must be wrong." First batter JD Drew hits a 2 run double and goes on to score, 8-6 Braves. Lack of a closer- Borowski sucks and Hawkins can't save a game for his life. Lack of consistent hitting- They have a lot of power guys like the White Sox, but nobody on base to keep a consistent lineup. As us White Sox fans have found out the hard way, power hitters go through hot and cold slumps. The Cubs' offense hit a cold slump at the end of the season. Obviously, I would be foolish not to mention the early injuries in the season. However, the same can be said for the Astros. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texsox Posted October 2, 2004 Share Posted October 2, 2004 Thank you. I followed the Astros almost by default. It's the most "local" of teams by me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CubsSuck1 Posted October 2, 2004 Share Posted October 2, 2004 Hawkins has also been pitching pretty bad. :fthecubs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Critic Posted October 2, 2004 Share Posted October 2, 2004 Obviously, I would be foolish not to mention the early injuries in the season. However, the same can be said for the Astros. This is a good point. The Astros have been without Pettitte and Miller for a while lately, while the Cubs have been healthy, with the exception of Nomar and Ramirez's groin strains. Fact is, they CHOKED away the WC by losing a slew of one-run HOME games to "inferior" teams over the last week. Simply amazing how poorly they play the game.

Jordan4life_2007 Posted October 2, 2004 Share Posted October 2, 2004 LMAO, OMG, What happened? I turned the game off when they went up 6-2. I turn to espn news to see at the bottom "Cubs elminated from post-season." I f***IN LOVE IT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Critic Posted October 2, 2004 Share Posted October 2, 2004 Don't forget about the Angels. Also a good example of a team overcoming adversity. INSTEAD of using it as a crutch. Which is what the Cubs do best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Tizzle Posted October 2, 2004 Share Posted October 2, 2004 When looking back on this last week, it's truly amazing when you observe the circumstances which led to their collapse. IMO, this years fall tops last years monumental Game 6/7 choke. The Choke Factor: - 5 straight losses. All of which have been at home. - 2 consecutive 12 inning losses - LeTroy Hawkins blows two straight saves with 2 outs and 2 strikes on hitters. - Dusty Baker. Has he made one successful bullpen move this last week? - Offense: Shut down by the dismal (Cheat has posted stats which prove their ineptness) Cincinatti pitching. Corey Patterson and Derick Lee have been horrid in September There's likely more factors leading into the collapse. Feel free to add on any I may have missed. IT'S FUN!

You pretty much summed it all up. I'm the biggest Cubs hater there is. But I thought they would atleast get to the playoffs and then choke. But good god.

AngelasDaddy0427 Posted October 3, 2004 Share Posted October 3, 2004 Can you get the pic of the guy and his kid smiling as the cubs were entering the end of the game and they were down by 2. That was a funnier pic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
