I'm not going to lie, I did absolutely nothing to help the Cubs win today. I didn't do anything to help them lose either though. Which would mean I helped them win. But I said I didn't help them win. Wait, I'm confused. Screw this, I'm getting a beer.

Seemed familiar, didn't it?

 

A team up 3-0 in the bottom of the 8th with the starter mowing down the opposition, and then the bottom falls out.

 

That's what I was thinking.

 

Its called exorcising the demons and it means that the Cubs will ride the periviable wave of sucess for the rest of the season.

No no no. I turned it off in the 7th out of frustration, played some Madden 06', and turned it back on just as Jones hit his HR.

Well, after the 6th, I quit watching completely and did some laundry. I tuned back in to start the bottom of the 8th. Last time I did that.....Michael Barrett won the game with a grand slam.

 

I'm not sayin'.....I'm just sayin'.

and here I was thinking my level of brooding, bitching, and whining finally reached the point where it was so annoying to my family that the Cubs turned it around for the benefit of family values.

 

This sounds like me. I was yelling at the TV "C'mon, how but just a two-run single!!!!!", and then boom, two seconds later, Murton hits a two run single.

 

After that, I was complaining about how Jones is having trouble staying above the Mendoza line, and then boom!

 

It doesn't always work though..... :x

Man, please. I was at that Barrett GS game. I am the pulse oft he Cubs! :wink:

Ok how many of you people are making this **** up? I mean seriously, scratching your back the whole inning!? :lol:

 

I seriously did take a drive. So it was ME!

 

I'm not. I specifically changed Murton out of my starting fantasy lineup for Betemit aout 45 seconds before 6:05.

 

I can't leave him on my bench for the sake of the Cubs, money is on the line.

I changed seats from my recliner to the couch at the start of the bottom of the 8th.

 

Also, so far this season every time the Cubs lose my wife drinks out of my Cubs coffee mug and then they win the next day. I therefore take credit for the team not having a losing streak over 2 games.

I was torn because 24 was wrapping up just the bases were juiced for Matt Murton. Jack Bauer v. Matt Murton.

 

Murton won. And Jack ended up on a plane.

Sorry guys, I'm taking ownershi of this one.

 

Before the bootom of the 8th started I said Murton would get a game tying hit as the sixth batter of the inning. (You ever want to piss off your lady, accurately call something like that)

 

Or you could just run up a big credit card bill.

It was me. I have Murton on my team in a keeper league with weekly lineup changes. I benched him for this week since he was struggling, and that guaranteed that he'd have a big week.
