nightmare inning and Wolf was pitching a pretty good game, had good control if this gets outta hand, start plunking the batters, start with Soriano
Well, we got jobbed, then we got drummed. That pitch that Lee hit to the wall was a GREAT pitch Lee just got his arms extended and belted it. DD
Im still in Chicago watching this travesty at Shoeless Joes. I hate Chicago, the Cubs, Cubs fans, and Bud Selig. This is ridiculous.
well this sucks. sure glad we are playing these at home where we are a better team in the midst of a playoff push. seriosly, this sucks donkey balls.
the good news is... there seems to be some new snorgtees pics. how many people have gotten on base with 2 strikes?! This is so frustrating.
If we end up losing tonight, the key will be to forget about this game, get some rest and take the game tomorrow. Getting smacked like this may turn out to be a good thing if it fires our guys up for the remainder of the season. Yes, I'm trying to put a positive spin on this disappointing game.
For the record I knew home field advantage is important in baseball lol apparently more important to the Stros
A lot of questions have come up about Cooper as a manager this season, especially early on. How he handles these guys over the next couple of days will say a lot about his intangible qualities.
LET'S GO ASTROS! LET'S GO ASTROS! LET'S GO ASTROS! This team has come so far over the last month that I refuse to let the last few innings get to me.
Did yall see the guy with the "Thanks Bud Selig" sign that they showed on WGN? The reason why the Cubs haven't won anything in 100 years? Karma.
stop b****ing about the where the game is played, its old news. Its not valid excuse for the astros to be getting merked.
Cubs at home: 51-24 Cubs on the road: 37-34 Cubs on the road not counting Milwaukee: 33-34 Astros at home: 43-29 Astros on the road: 37-38 Yeah, clearly where the game is played has nothing to do with the likely result.
Im with stros on this, its messed up where the game is planned. The Astros could of used this to fire them up, instead they just flat and uninterested. Might want to use this as an excuse not to play well. I don't care where you play at if you don't hit the ball, you don't win. If you misread balls your going to lose. Whether the game was at Houston or anywhere else the Astros would be losing this game. They are rusty and looking like the old Astros for the first half of the season.
I would agree with that, but it would be the same had they played this game anywhere else including Houston.
Not one to make excuses; at the end of the day, they still have to play the game...but don't you think they could be a little tired considering what we all had to endure yesterday. So not only do they still have to play a game today, but they have to travel to way the hell up north to do it. The leauge basically did everything it could to please the Cubs instead of the "home" team that had a hurricane rip through it's city. At the end of the season, if they don't make the playoffs, I certainly won't use this series as a reason why; but I do think Selig made an absolutely horrible decision.
Yes I agree I am just bored of hearing this as an excuse. They could play this game in many many cities but chose it where we are trying to compete for a wild card spot. I am just saying it is what is. As for fair or foul it is definitely fair. But right now we are getting worked badly by Zambrano.
