This had to have been the worst series for this team in years.

Agreed. I can't really add anything, except to say that this series was arguably some of the worst baseball the team has played since 2006. Lackluster in every respect, sans a few good bullpen innings.

Considering every pitcher we faced (including the bullpen and closer) had ERA at 7.00 or above and we scored 5 runs in three games, this might be the worst series I've ever seen the Cubs play -- offensively, at least.

The Pirates ERA going to the series was 6.71.

Fucking incredible. So, as a team, they've been giving up close to 7 runs a game. WE SCORED 5 RUNS IN 3 GAMES.
Pathetic.

I've tried to watch hockey a few times -- including a playoff game this year. It just doesn't do much for me.
Don't tell anyone - cigar - 05-07-2010
I have watched more hockey the last two to three weeks than I have in my entire life. I have really enjoyed it as well. I have caught myself screaming after a few goals already.

I am right there with you Butch. I watched the first two periods of the game a couple nights ago and I was bored. It seems to me that it is one of those sports that is much better to watch in person.
Don't tell anyone - PcB - 05-07-2010
I'm not sure how anyone can be bored during a hockey game, especially considering the amount of baseball they watch. Hockey has something going on every second of every game. If you're gonna get bored watching a sport, wouldn't it be baseball? Don't get me wrong, I love both sports but baseball moves way slower than hockey. Mound visits, pick offs, a pitcher just pitching slow all happen in one at bat. Sometimes an AB can take 7-10 minutes. If you're gonna get bored during a sport, it's gonna be baseball.
