This game is at the Jake.

This game is at the Jake.

 

Got it.

We suck.

[E.J.]

Johnson has an ERA over 6, which guarantees that he'll own us. I look for another game added to the losing streak.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

I have to admit, for the first time since 2003, I've more or less have lost interest. I'm watching less and less of the games.

 

I still keep up with them, but for the most part I make no effort to make sure that I'm watching when the games are on.

I'll still keep up with the Cubs, but I think I'm gonna start following the Red Sox more. At least they understand the value of a walk.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

I still watch more of the Cubs than anyone else, but my second favorite team the Rangers is drawing more and more of my attention.

[UMFan83]

Lets go Injuns! (Wait, that's not offensive is it?)

No more than Redskins are....

[Drew Doughty]

meh, i've started watching dodger home games. Vin Scully is amazing. the cubs still catch my attention, though I watched more world cup than cubs today.

Just spell it "Engines" in order to play it safe. No one will ever know.

[Big Fergie J]

I was planning on going to a game in this series as I don't live very far from Cleveland. Was gonna check out the Rock and Roll HOF then a game.

 

But I decided why the [blank] bother. I love baseball but if I can't bear watching this team on TV for long I don't feel much like driving to the Jake and witnessing this [blank] in person.

 

Guess I'll just wait until I'm in Chicago next month. At least then I can BOO with the other CUB sufferers.

Go CUBS !!

[Andy]

I won't watch, and I won't care.

[soccer10k]

I won't know how much interest I've lost in the Cubs season until after the World Cup final on July 9. Even if the Cubs were in first place this year, my interest in the Cubs wouldn't be as high as normal right now solely because of the World Cup.

That's not 100% true for me, but I will say that the World Cup is making it much easier on me. I can be excited and passionate about a team that doesn't completely suck - you know, it takes my mind off of baseball for a little while.

[NorthsideAvenger]

Man, what I wouldn't give to get the remote control from Sandler's new movie "Click." Man, to be able to fast forward through the season, right now.....

I was thinking that a couple of days ago. Man this team is flat our terrible. It's sucks that it's only mid june and the season is over. I've paying attention to the minor leagues more then the Cubs. It's a car wreck of a year. When you see the Marlins win their 8th straight on a 14 million dollar payroll you just have to wonder when are the heads starting to roll?

GO NATIVE AMERICANS!

 

The way the Cobs have been treating Marshall of late, I expect him to throw 8 shut out innings before taking the loss because on an unearned run in the 5th.

 

Cubs lose 1-0.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

Cubs lose, 3 billion to nuthin'.

 

Losers.

[Balsa]

I think Marshall gets the win today by virtue of THE POWER OF POSITIVE THOUGHT.

[C.C.]

We gotta win sometime don't we? Cubs win tonight 5-3.

[Balsa]

Plus, I have Marshall on my fantasy team....

[Sammy Sofa]

We gotta win sometime don't we?

 

Why start now?
