Cubs could have all but finished off the Braves, did not cash in!

Hampton on the ropes in the first down 2-0 and the bases jacked with no outs, and THATS ALL THE CUBS GET IS TWO? Not a good sign for the Cubbies, you have to finish off these opportunities...Hampton will more than likely settle in and the Braves will even this thing up now...WOW! Golden opportunity and the Cubs blew it!

 

[SrMuny]

Has struck out 6 straight now..........

 

[MondoMan]

make that 7

Wonder if lots of takers on Atlanta in series now. Seen +170 today.

To Eric Karros great job of not coming thru in the clutch!

1st inning bases loaded he strikes out on 3 pitches...

3rd inning 1st and 2nd, he grounds into the dreaded 1,6,3 DP ! choker,lol...

 

[gopherbob]

it really hurts when you have the over.

 

[Journeyman]

There is still time atleast but not looking good...Could have easily been 5-0 heading into bottom of 1st...

has been Moises Alou he is 7 for 44, lately. Hitting around .160.

Smoltz coming in for the 8th and 9th. Hmmmm.

[kNOcKout_8]

Figured that Smoltz would blow it... Gagne seems to be the only one who could do this 8th/9th combo. Everyone else is stumped....

Fastball, fastbal, fastball.... get something else working.

 

[wilheim]

SMOLTZ - YES.
