Cubs Live! — NLDS Game one – Dodgers at Cubs, 5:30 pm

1. Dempster couldn’t find the plate, period. He got squeezed more than once, but it’s hard to get calls when the rest of your pitches aren’t close. Lowe had a tight zone, too, and he managed to make pitches.

   Dempster rode a carriage into tonight’s game, and it turned back into a pumpkin. He’s still what he always was: a pitcher with good stuff and little control. We were just fooled into believing he had changed.

   And yeah, LA sent their ace tonight, but the next two out of the gate aren’t slouches, by any means. This is going to be a long, uphill climb and I don’t think Z’s a hiker.

2. It is so frustrating to watch this team do so many great things all season and watch the same team fail to show up in the playoffs. In the postgame Lou said this is only the first game, don’t worry about the offense not showing up. Actually Lou it’s the fourth game. I still have faith that we will turn it around. If we don’t then Hendry needs to get guys who DON’T choke in the playoffs

3. Yeah, lets blame hendry for paying too much attention on performance and not anticipating the psychological fragility of the all-stars that compose this 97-win team.

4. You are spot on. That place was DEAD even with the Cubs up two runs early. They even mentioned it on the tv broadcast repeatedly. For game 2, let’s hope Cubs fans sack up and at least act like they want to be there instead of being a bunch of scared pussies.

5. Let’s hope the Cubs stop acting like scared pussies.

6. Dear cliff jumping Cubs fans,

   This is my thoughts about you

   Sack up dammitt. Even those freakin n’er do-wells on the southside lost a game one during their so called playoff run that didn’t happen in ’05.

7. I don’t disagree. Point well taken

8. my execution leaves alot to be desired but the point still stands.

9. Can’t wait to get you awesome Cubs in the playoffs. Fine show last night ladies! I understand part 2 will air tonight . . .

10. GO BACK TO THE OLD FORMAT? JUST TO SEE WHAT HAPPENS?

11. No.

12. But, Brewers Fan, if they don’t make it out of the first- You won’t- Ah, forget it.
