I don't know how many are watching, but first pitch of the game and the Dbacks are already leading. Oh to be a cubs fan.

[hunter05]

My thread is better. Double after the home run.

[hunter05]

Hill gets out of it, ugly inning though.

Step 1: Kill Frank Caliendo
Step 2: ???
Step 3: Profit

[cannonball 1729]

Is anyone listening to the Cubs' radio announcers? The color guy is awesome - he's given up trying to announce the game and is concentrating solely on rooting for the home team. It's like listening to Hawk Harrelson, only if he were drunk and rooted for the Cubs.

Did he just kill himself? because that DP was brutal.

He sounds like someone just shot his dog. As Theriot made contact, you could hear him shout, "NO!"

[hunter05]

So they start a rally, double play kills it. They start another one with 2 outs, 2 on and Ramirez watches strike 3. Yeesh

[twototango]

Too bad Bartman isn't at the game.

[hunter05]

[Foulkey Reese]

Cubs sure are playing like the 84 win team that they are

[E5 Yaz]

To be fair, he put that one right where he wanted it

This him?

Boo birds are out at Wrigley. Aramis Ramirez just grounded into a DP with 2 runners on to end the inning. He still hasn't gotten a hit this series.

A hit by Livan? The Cubs are high comedy. How did they win the division anyway?

Have you seen what else is in that division?

[stephensjh]

Possible disconnect between Sweet Lou and the Cubs pitching coach. Stockton/Darling are interviewing the Cubs PC as Hernandez is stepping to the plate. Rothschild says he's hoping Hill will get it together and pitch at least into the 6th inning. Two seconds later, Hernandez bloops a single to right and Hill is pulled.

edit: I need to get spellcheck or learn how to type.

Aramis is going after Chase Utley for the most inept post season performance award. Arod would be proud.

I'd like to believe the Brewers would have put up a bigger fight than this, but it is the worst division in baseball, without a doubt.

[ekim colorwaterpit]

Should have thrown home

[twototango]

Wow, he was out. If this was Vintage Lou he would have been going crazy due to that call.

[axx]

looks like byrnes was safe

[ekim colorwaterpit]

He was safe

Well, the award is named after ARod

[twototango]

Jacques Jones getting some vindication. Hit and run turns a routine double play into a double for Jones.

Soriano gets a meatball, and weakly flies out.

[MidnightC]

And Soriano fails to deliver. What a shocking, shocking development!

What color is Lou's face going to be when this game is over?

[shawnrbu]

Marmol in the 5th?

[stephensjh]

Don't despair Cub fans, only $$119 million to go.

[Foulkey Reese]

Yikes this is a disaster....poor Cubs fans

[FoulketoMinky]

I can't help but empathize - maybe they will emulate the history of the Sox - new owner, better management, playoff success. But you have to feel bad for all the little old ladies sitting in Wrigley that the networks love to show late in games.

[twototango]

Wow, that's the exact spot where Bartman was!!!!

[hunter05]

Wow that looked familiar...........

[shawnrbu]

TBS rolls out the Bartman montage on cue. I love it.

[twototango]

Wow that looked familiar...........

The camera angle, the exact spot where it landed... it was 2003 NLCS Game 5 all over again.

[axx]

The angle of the ball looked almost the same too, heh.

[rembrat]

And Soriano fails to deliver. What a shocking, shocking development!

What color is Lou's face going to be when this game is over?

At least Zambrano will be rested.

[Al Zarilla]

Marmol in the 5th?

Kept trying to think of what animal his name reminded me of. Do we have another Rivera - fruitbat on our hands? Nah, he'll never get famous enough.

[Al Zarilla]

Two things:

1. Is there any more of a slob of a pitcher to watch in MLB than Livo? Baseball is a sport, with athletes, right?

2. Is there any slower working pitcher than Livo? Guy with Cleveland, Betancourt, maybe?

[CaptainLaddie]

Wow.

The Cubs have no desire to win this game.

[twototango]

Wow, Derosa hits into a double play to end the inning with the bases loaded. What a back breaker.

[hunter05]

Wow another gut wrenching double play

[fletcherpost]

Come on Cubbies.

[axx]

That was ball 4, wasn't it.

[shawnrbu]

It's unreal that the Cubs let Livan off the hook yet again. He was tossing slop up there all night.

[CaptainLaddie]

And he name is "Livan".

[MidnightC]

OH. MY. GOD.

How the hell do you greenlight 3-1 when the pitcher has issued THREE walks in the innings?! How the hell do you greenlight Mark DeRosa 3-1 period?!?!

[InsideTheParker]

Cubs are doomed. I am no longer rooting for them. Disgraceful hit into DP just now. Doomed, I tells ya.

[fletcherpost]

Oh my fuckin God.

What a fuckin tool.

[Foulkey Reese]

Jesus....that's a nut buster right there
