So after our woes vs lefties and the constant talk of our failures vs them, we can't even reach base vs a righty.
it was cool when grandal hit a home run and I thought "hey he's comin out of this" and now he's back to normal sucking ass
What is amazing is the degree of just how bad Kershaw is... Everyone is getting what they want with this Cub blowout...everyone, once again, except Dodger fans. But he's so bad, that Buck and Smoltz are making excuses for him. "He's not right...missed two months, etc." To have to do that by these two who have been flogging the Cubs since before this series even, says something. What exactly it is, I don't know...but it sure ain't good for the Dodgers.
He catches, walks and hit HR's Actually just calls bad 0-2 pitches, chases everything, and tries to kill every pitch
and, we'll talk for hours on hours about Kershaw but... the Dodgers have 1 hit and have been awful in some of these games.
you guys you guys are crazy after all he has done you think he sucks in the clutch? the cubs are a good team, great lineup shit happens cant believe you guys want to trade kershaw lol sometimes yall crack me up so much i think you may be trollin
The best pitcher on the planet should NEVER pitch a game like this in an elimination game. He's done this multiple times. 5 runs and counting? Unacceptable. I've been a huge Kershaw apologist. But there is no excuse for this. Didn't even give the team a chance.
And yea, of course the offense sucks. It's filled with streaky, inconsistent players. They are totally to blame as well.
the problem is we know how bad our offense is kersh is supposed to be our ace, our stopper, our rock would be one thing if it was 1-0 but i'm sorry, any pitcher that puts their team in a 5-0 hole is not doing their job you expect this type of outing from maeda or urias but not from you're ace -- the supposed best pitcher on the planet
One explanation for his failures may come off as an excuse but it's possible that CK feels like he has to pitch perfect knowing that one run could lose him the game with his inept teammates and it causes him to press.
You know, I want to believe. I want to say that we have a chance. But year in and year out, we turn out to be so unclutch...so utterly without the balls to survive...that I just dont care to watch anymore. Maybe then I wouldnt care so much how pathetic each season ends. I'm too old for this shit. In the past, I'd say "well at least there's the Lakers" or more recently "the Kings". But it's hopeless with no light at the end of the tunnel. God I'm so depressed.
if we're gonna do something crazy, this is the chance? third time through the order for the top of the lineup
6 more outs At least they made this a relatively quick game and not a 5 hour death march like Game 4 and 5
