7/2 White Sox (Cy Buehrle) @ Zambrano (and crap) 1:20 CSN

[otis89]

Cubs suck. That is all. Edited July 2, 2006 by otis89

[Outshined_One]

Just do us all a favor and forfeit the rest of the season, Cubs.

[Brian]

Please change the thread title, this one implies that Zambrano is crap, i think this would work better.

 

 

@ Zambrano (w/ crap)

[soccer10k]

Cubs lose 1-0.

 

Baker starts Neifi who makes an error to cost the Cubs a run. Zambrano pitches a complete game and gives up 0 earned runs.

[texascub]

With the way things are going Zambrano is gonna go 8IP with 22K's and he's gonna hit a grand slam but he'll end up getting a ND as the game is blown in the 9th and the White Sox win it in the 12th.

Final Score:

 

Who Cares to I Don't Give a Damn

[Flames24Rulz]

Let's hope that Rosenthal is right and if the Cobs lose this one, Dustbag will finally be gone.

[A New Era]

Let's hope that Rosenthal is right and if the Cobs lose this one, Dusty will finally be gone.

 

Rosenthal said that? LOSE LOSE LOSE please!!

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAH...

 

I cant wait till we are the worst team in freakin baseball. That will be great.

[Sammy Sofa]

I don't care who you are...root for this team to lose to the White Sox. If there is even a shred of truth to the idea Dusty will be fired if the Cubs are swept, you root your damn hearts out for this team to lose. I don't want a blowout...I want Z to still have some pretty numbers, and wouldn't mind seeing certain Cubs shining through...make it close...Cubs lose, 5-3. Please, God, if you have any mercy...make the Cubs lose, and send Dusty, Clines, Sarge and Rothschild packing.

 

Please.

 

This is what I'm reduced to.

 

Please.

 

*Sobs*

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS have hit 12,001 HRs in their last 19,206 games.

 

Go CUBS !!

Don't worry, you are not alone. :sob sob:. :cry:

[Andy]

I guarantee that if the Cubs lose, Dusty is not fired.

[NorthsideAvenger]

I guarantee that if the Cubs lose, Dusty is not fired.

 

Come on, dude....can't you let us have a glimmer of hope among the gloom and doom. Stop being a party-pooper.

 

 

Let's go Sachs. Let's go White Sachs....(for the one-time only rooting for the Sachs.)

Dusty's post game quote prediction:

 

"Wow. Just wow. I've seen a lot of different ways to lose ballgames but....wow. It just seems that nothing goes our way. This one hurts a lot. We'll get ready and get back out there."

[cubweiser03]

The game is also on WGN. The White Sox crew lead by our dear friend Hawk Harrilson will call the game. With that jerk calling todays game losing is NOT an option.

[Sammy Sofa]

What hurts worse...the rest of the season with Dusty, or Hawk being a douchebag?

 

Priorities, people!

Scott Williamson on the SCORE right now. Good interview, he is talking about how Dusty plays the guys he has confidence in to the detriment of other players. Very diplomatically did not call them "Dusty's Favorites" but guys that Dusty has confidence in. Basically said that Matt Murton is getting a raw deal and should be allowed to work through his slump while playing every day. Also just said he expects to be traded so I think he is being totally honest trying to grease the wheels. Just said he hopes to be traded

I want a players' revolt! Send Dusty and his boy toys packing! Nobody will miss 'em...

You know the fastest way to get off the Cubs is to break ranks and be honest.

 

Good for Williamson.
