Don't underestimate that though. It's part of baseball and always has been. That said this is the most frustrating kind of a loss. An inferior opponent and you've left men all over the bases. 2 more well timed hits and this game is 5-3. Disappointing.

Wow! I can't believe Conteras just stood there and let 3 strike pitches just go by him! Totally not like him.

If you listened on radio, Ryne Sandberg mentioned that in his day, hitters would have made adjustments to all this shifting. Pete Rose always looked where the fielders were playing and hit it where they werent. He said modern day players are pull hitters and all they do is pull into outs. Schwarber hit a grounder up the middle which he said, that was a base hit off the bat, but this shifting and no adjustment makes outs.

Cubs had plenty of chances, squandered them away. Guess we see what tomorrow brings with the Lackee one, over under is 4 home runs.

Sorry but Rick Hahn made the Sox season. These games are meaningless regarding the big picture.

Yes they are meaningless but the cup is your goal for the next few years, no chance to compete so just spoil the Cubs

I actually came on this board and wished the Cub posters luck and encouragement last post season. I could give a shit about the cup. I can't speak for other Sox fans. I want Seth Beer not some meaningless win during a full blown rebuild.

So much could've been done but they chose the status quo.....you got a very unremarkable defensive team out there using the shift and you don't bunt into it. It's a one run game...run their junkballer around out there a bit, see if he can cover the mound to third. Just some very unremarkable game play on the field and in the dugout. You're not gonna hit a bunch of homers every day...good teams find other ways to win.

No they did not. The Cubs are a joke and couldn't beat that Little League team. I have no faith that the Cubs can win three in a row against the Sox. This Cub team is such garbage. I'm so mad at what happened yesterday.

And more breaks headed the Cubs way just like last year. Kershaw and Stras hurt again. It's just one game, but man the Cubs blow by not being able to beat the White Sox.

Only positive is that perhaps Gonzalez gets traded now.

A lot of that falls at the feet of Joe. Players have toe execute the plan, but clearly Joe didn't bring in the right plan.

I dont really understand the cup for a 4 game series. If the league wanted a cup to be meaningful they would have an odd amount of games.

Other than the Sox who are still trying to find respect in the town they play in....the so called Cup doesn't add up to a pile of crap. The only Cup that means anything in this town has the word "Stanley" in front of it.

Normally I would agree, but I believe the players wives, girlfriends, side bitches and future children find cups more important.

This cup should be sponsored by nutty buddy and be shaped like a jock.
