Rowand44 Posted July 3, 2006 Share Posted July 3, 2006 (edited) QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Jul 2, 2006 -> 08:42 PM) I'm always happy to win a series, but think about how close we were to losing it. I'd like to know how many times this team has given Buehrle a lead, only to see him give it RIGHT back. Our very good pitching staff gave up a LOT of hits to one of the worst offenses in baseball. Well, the starting pitching is definitely a concern right now(who woulda thunk that'd be our main concern this year) and that obviously continued this series. I don't buy the "we were close to losing this series argument" we're going to win a lot more one run games and be "close" to losing a lot of series now that our bullpen is pretty damn good. Still, I really was worried about losing this series because this was the Cubs world series, and this was the last thing they had to play for this year. By the way, it'll be nice to play american league ball again. I got a feeling we're going to gain some ground this week.

MinnySoxFan Posted July 3, 2006 Share Posted July 3, 2006 (edited) I find myself agreeing with Greg Hibbard a lot of the time. It's hard to find normal, rational, non-over reactionary, non-homer but critical fnas on team message boards, but if there is one, it's probably him.

Butter Parque Posted July 3, 2006 Share Posted July 3, 2006 I'll take the 2 out of 3 but It sickens me to see cubs fans feel any joy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swingandalongonetoleft Posted July 3, 2006 Share Posted July 3, 2006 (edited) It was nice to hear them shut their pie-holes after Juan's shot, but who in the hell is Angel Pagan? How do you let this man get not one, but two shots off you in one game? And I know Z is a good hitting pitcher, but come on... After the game, there was a guy on the Redline that just wouldn't shut the f*** up. There were old people and children on the train, and he was just letting it rip in the most profane manner about how the Sox lost to a pitiful team, and that equates to them sucking. He was politely told to shut the f*** up several times, but it just wouldn't stop. He didn't even look liquored up. It's not indicitive of all Cubs fans, but it just goes to show how bitter and jaded some of them are with the Sox taking it all, and then going on to a hot start, while the Cubs dwell with the roaches and rats near the bottom of the s***hole that is the NL Central.

WCSox Posted July 3, 2006 Share Posted July 3, 2006 QUOTE(Greg Hibbard @ Jul 2, 2006 -> 05:42 PM) why is it that our offense "destroyed" one of the best pitchers in the NL, but Buehrle "wet the bed" The ball appeared to be carrying well yesterday, as it's not every day that pitching staffs give up a combined nine jacks in a game. Zambrano, Perez, and Uribe's homers weren't exactly smoked (especially Neifi's) and may have been deep fly-outs in other ballparks without the wind blowing out towards CF. That's not excuse Mark's awful pitching, but Zambrano's performance was far from his norm as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
