Game 3 (Cubs @ Dodgers) NLDS

Published by kevinryan12 at 8:45 pm under In-Game Thread Edit This

My goodness, they look a little better then they have the past two nights but they still look awful.

It’s the fourth inning right now and here’s what happened:
-Geovany Soto leads off with a double.
-Jim Edmonds grounds out to second.  Soto advances to third.
-Mark DeRosa swings on the first pitch to ground out to third.  This strands Soto at third.
-Ryan Theriot intentionally walked.
-Rich Harden is at bat right now with a 1-2 count… will probably strike out.

I just got home so I’m trying to look up what’s been going on but in the mean time, I get the sense from the announcers that the Cubs have defintiely had opportunities in this game.  They also committed another error to make it six errors in the series.  UPDATE- Harden strikes out.

I see the Dodgers scored both runs in the first inning.  The Dodgers managed to score both runs with two outs, thanks to a two run double by Cub killer, James Loney.

I’d like to think that the Cubs can pull this one out, but time is really running out and there doesn’t seem to be much promise.  Yeah, the game is still early but I can see this Dodgers team piling on a few more runs to chase Harden out of the game.  By the time our bats finally wake up, it’s probably going to be too late.  I really hope I am wrong… but still, remember that even if the Cubs were to win this one tonight, they still would have a long way to go.

Anyway, I’ll be watching til the final pitch.

Go Cubs!

    Maybe Manny won’t be Manny tonight. I’m going to hate to see the Cubs lose it again if they can’t pull this win out.

    I couldn’t even bring myself to watch after the 1st inning. I just can’t believe how awful we were this series.
