Whether or not the Cubs win this game, the sentiment still stands.
Postgame thread – non David DeJesus editon
He's got a two day head start on you, which is more than he needs. He's got friends in every town and village from here to the Sudan, he speaks a dozen languages, knows every local custom, he'll blend in, disappear, you'll never see him again. With any luck, he's got the grail already.

Yeah, this is one shittly played game.
i’m starting to see why the Brewers aren’t doing so well.
Great bunt there. Great situation for bunting. Way to completely waste an out. What the fuckity fuck?
ugh
@ josh:
What drives me crazy is that the Brewers knew a bunt was coming. Why not take advantage by swinging?
@ ACT:
banana
@ ACT:
I have no answer. Not a fucking clue. Straight stubbornness on the manager’s part is my guess.
Wow. That was about the worst offensive performance I can remember.
EDIT: I mean, except for all the times where they got RISP and struck out 3 straight times, which is at least once a game.
I’m not drunk enough to enjoy this game.
Was it just me or did Garza seem like he didn’t even want to be out there. he seemed annoyed to be pitching to me. I missed the first inning, though, so maybe he had reason.
@ josh:
Maybe he wasn’t 100% back from his flu bug
So…is Dolis hurt? Or does he just suck?
@ Rice Cube:
Maybe we’ll find out he’s sick too
TOOTBLAN
TOOTBLAN!
That was Theriot levels of inept baserunning
@ Rice Cube:
A Brewer’s TOOTBLAN?
Shit, stepped out and missed the exciting shitty play!
@ josh:
Imagine that.
Castro took a walk!
I fully expect him to get a caught stealing next.
Did anyone else just notice hell freezing over?
They can’t figure out if they want to win this want to lose it.
Has LaHair gotten to 40% K-rate yet?
@ josh:
Maybe he felt a wee bit embarrassed about the last at-bat in which he swung at a pitch that bounced several feet in front of the plate.
@ ACT:
Dude. You are a prophet.
@ mb21:
They’re bringing in Kerry Wood. That tells you all you need to know.
Oh THERE’S the Cub TOOTBLAN.
@ josh:
Soooo predictable.
@ mb21:
Yeah, good call. Garza seemed like he couldn’t have cared less what happened. The rest of the team seemed to follow suit.
Castro is a poor percentage base stealer. It blows my mind that he’s always given the green light. I’d never give him the green light against a lefty pitcher or a good catcher.
@ ACT:
(dying laughing)
@ ACT:
Can you tell me the next set of winning lotto numbers?
@ SkipVB:
Yeah, I’m really going to share that info for free.
@ ACT:
Hey just guesses. That’s all he does.
How is it that the Cubs have a positive baserunning score on FanGraphs when they’re so terrible?
They’re only in the 11th inning. Len acts as though were on the 16th or 17th or something like that.
@ ACT:
I’ll give you a cut
How do you walk Aramis on 4 pitches?
@ mb21:
Also that every pitcher has thrown 15 days in a row before this game instead of an off-day
Can KW equal Bartolo Colon’s consecutive strike performance, but with balls? Might take a few games.
Wow, Kerry can get out of any jam, as long as one of the opposing batters is a pitcher.
This game will never end.
@ mb21:
That’s because they have like zero pitchers
@ Rice Cube:
Tony Campana.
@ Rice Cube:
Reedz can pitch, right?
@ SkipVB:
He may in fact be able to throw the ball from the mound to a target 60 feet, 6 inches away. Pitching might be more difficult.
If Gameday is right, we only have Soto on the bench and Lendy Castillo in the pen.
@ SkipVB:
And Milwaukee has no one left but starters.
@ SkipVB:
Let’s get three outs so we can get Vinnie Chulk again
@ SkipVB:
Brewers have their last nine on the field. Maybe they have a starter who could go?
@ josh:
I just realized that’s what you said. Derp.
@ josh:
More fun to have a position player pitch, doncha think? Adds to the quality of the game.
@ SkipVB:
If you want it to turn into beer league softball
Guess if I were Roenicke, I’d move Braun or Aoki to the IF and have Izturis pitch. If he gets hurt pitching, nothing is lost. Then put a starter in LF. Or maybe Aoki can pitch.
@ Rice Cube:
I thought that’s what this game was!
YEAH. More Vinnie Chulk
@ SkipVB:
I tried doing this a couple times in video games. Both times my position player threw two weak fastballs and then the computer randomizer thingy said they tore a ligament (dying laughing)
This game might be over by now if both teams didn’t insist on playing smallball.
More crappy smallball!
@ Rice Cube:
@ ACT:
Beer league. All the way.
I have to go to bed soon. this game is bullshit.
Lendy = Marmol+Wood
Never been so happy to hear Pat say “It’s all over.”
@ SkipVB:
I take it back. Lendy = David Patton
???
So…anyone hear about Bryce Harper’s little bat accident?
http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/2012/05/12/bryce-harper-receives-10-stitches-above-left-eye-after-slamming-bat-into-wall/
This game would probably still be going on if they told Aramis to lay down a bunt.
Marmol ——> DL
Coleman —–> Cubs
I think Coleman is probably the 3rd best reliever in the pen, pending a successful bullpen test
(dying laughing)
