    If you clinch tonight and you need anybody to drive you home, give me a call.

    Oh, I don’t stop at stoplights anymore, they’re too much trouble.

    You suck, Carlos.

    I thought the Cubs played all their games in Milwaukee?

    Felipe batting cleanup? Kennedy in right? Clearly, I picked today’s lineup out of a hat.

    Carlos is fighting himself.

    Not literally, though that’s probably coming.

    Z on September 19, 2008 at 1:30 pm

    I’ve gone from a no hitter to the inability to get anyone out.

    Carlos doesn’t like me very much.

    Wow. 5-0.

    Not so good.

    I saw at EPSN.com that kennedy wanted a trade because Tony wasn’t playing him…balls.

  19. Zambrano
    Zambrano on September 19, 2008 at 1:34 pm

    Giving up 4 hits over 2 games is pretty good. Let’s see you do it.

    I’m the blind guy behind the plate

  21. Jason Marquis
    Jason Marquis on September 19, 2008 at 1:34 pm

    I only spotted the Brewers a 3 run lead in my last start

  22. Big Z
    Big Z on September 19, 2008 at 1:35 pm

    I like my home runs I hit to mean something. All part of the master plan.

  23. Andy
    Andy on September 19, 2008 at 1:35 pm

    Carlos has good movement today, unfortunately it keeps drifting the ball right over the fat part of the plate. He might as well have been putting it on a tee in the first.

    Here we go bitches

    Only 25 pitches?

    Maybe if more fat girls bought my jersey I’d hit better than .200 in September

    I’m seeing some action already.

    We’re going to string ’em along then rip out their hearts and stomp on ’em.

    We’ll leave our shirt tucked in though.

    Am I there?

  31. Andy
    Andy on September 19, 2008 at 1:56 pm

    Well, Carlos will be well rested for his next start.

    What a crapfest this was.

  32. Andy
    Andy on September 19, 2008 at 1:57 pm

    He was throwing in the 90s. His last fastball was 94, but it was all over the fucking place.

    Seven runs won’t win me.

    Only 25 were strikes.

    Meh. Better now than in 11 days.

  36. Lou
    Lou on September 19, 2008 at 1:59 pm

    Carlos tried to walk off the mound before Lou took him out. Lou made him walk back and stand on the mound before he took the ball from him.

    you’re delusional, broski

    Maybe Z’s control really misses me?

  39. Big Z
    Big Z on September 19, 2008 at 2:04 pm

    I guess I’m not back.

  40. Adam Wainwright

    I’ll commence sucking soon.

  41. Andy
    Andy on September 19, 2008 at 2:14 pm

    Struggling after a no-hitter isn’t that unusual, but not like Carlos did today.

    Jon Lester gave up seven hits and four runs in five innings after his.

    Clay Buchholz only went three innings after his, but didn’t give up any runs.

    Justin Verlander gave up five hits and three runs in six innings. Lester and Verlander both lost.

    The last guy to pitch well after a no-hitter was Mark Buehrle who went seven innings, gave up six hits and no runs.

  42. Big Z
    Big Z on September 19, 2008 at 2:17 pm

    Game? What game? I thought they were just going to reshow my no hitter today.

  43. Wrigley Field
    Wrigley Field on September 19, 2008 at 2:18 pm

    I sent Z bad mojo after his comment about wanting to replace me.

  44. Andy
    Andy on September 19, 2008 at 2:19 pm

    That’s exactly how Carlos pitched today. No focus, just kind of slung it up there and when things went bad he just got madder and madder and madder.

    He made Jaime Navarro look composed.

    Clean Shaven Albert Pujols on September 19, 2008 at 2:27 pm

    I look like I’m fucking 55.

  46. Big Z
    Big Z on September 19, 2008 at 2:38 pm

    There are a lot of really smart, cool-headed pitchers that can give up a big inning like Z did in the first and then find a way to battle it out and salvage the game. I think once Z gave up that grand slam his brain was fried and there was no coming back.

    …did the Desipio GameCast change from all ledge jumpers to all hope-crazy lunatics?

    It’s kind of refreshing.

  49. Adam Wainwright

    If there are any more of me left in the jar, I’d prefer that the Cubs save me in case they need one in October, thankyouverymuch. We are a finite commodity, even for good teams.

  57. Irish Yeti
    Irish Yeti on September 19, 2008 at 3:09 pm

    Things could be worse. Single game wise it’d be tough to be worse but they could be. Cubs just need to win 2 games (or Brewers lose 2). At this point, I don’t care if they take their sweet ass time with it.

  58. Eddie Vedder
    Eddie Vedder on September 19, 2008 at 3:21 pm

    Who am I kiddin? Anyone who thinks I have any talent.
