[captainmorgan07]

u and me both

[Larry Schuler]

Why didn't Felipe swing at that strike? It was only a foot and a half outside. He could have hit it. ;)

[KYRed]

What a horrible baseball night. We give them the game with endless errors and poor defense, then we nearly take the game back by getting with 6-5 with the bases loaded and NO outs and can't even sacrifice the tying run in off of 3rd.

Not to mention the Cards came back from 6-0 down to lead 10-6.

Talk about blowing a game!

[captainmorgan07]

atleast foul it off

[GOREDSGO32]

No what makes me most mad is hearing the final out 'cheer' from the drunk loser Cubs fans in the crowd. Guess what, you are still in last Scrubs. Kearns and Lopez HANDED this game to you. I hope we win the next two games 10-0 each.

Kearns and Lopez?

I truly think there's enough blame to go around as they were not the only two players that contributed to this loss.

[GOREDSGO32]

Kearns had the missed ball that cost the team two runs, the differential. And Lopez had a baserunning mistake that probably cost us a run and a blown DP ball on defense that led to those 3 runs coming in.

[Cicero]

What a frustrating loss. How can you not get the tying run in in that situation?

[reds44]

What a frustrating loss. How can you not get the tying run in in that situation?
By not having a runner touch the plate.

:evil:

[Cicero]

Touche :laugh:
