Go CUBS !!

[macuser2]

CUBS are 10-3 vs. St. Louis

 

:D

 

I can hardly wait for Friday.

[WindyCity]

I will be in attendance. First time I will see the Cubs since the fiasco that was my San Diego trip. First time to be in Wrigley since April 30th -- also another disaster.

 

The Cubs are 0-5 this year with me in the park. Go Cubs!

You're due.

[Andy]

I really, really want to see us beat STL again.

[Fred Hornkohl]

I really, really want to see us beat STL again.

 

.... and again...... and again...... and again.......

[CubColtPacer]

I really, really want to see us beat STL again.

 

.... and again...... and again...... and again.......

 

6 times in the next week and a half would do nicely for now :D

[UMFan83]

How many walks for Marmol on Friday? I say 8 BB 1 ER. Cubs win 7-1

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Fred,

 

When do you get back on the road?

[otis89]

I love beating the Cardinals and Astros. Especially when we beat their best pitchers. (That being said, Marquis is not a good pitcher.)

[soccer10k]

I really, really want to see us sweep STL again.

 

Fixed.

[Balsa]

We got this one.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Fred,

 

When do you get back on the road?

 

Funny you should ask..... I'm sitting at a loading dock right now in Alsip, IL waiting to get loaded for beautiful Waxahachie, TX !!

[UMFan83]

Fred,

 

When do you get back on the road?

 

Funny you should ask..... I'm sitting at a loading dock right now in Alsip, IL waiting to get loaded for beautiful Waxahachie, TX !!

 

Uhh, I wouldn't advise drinking before a long trip to Texas...

[sigh] Perspective is everything in life. Some of us consider East Texas to be a short trip, eh?

[Balsa]

Hey Fred, do you load your own trucks or do you use humpers? Do you know how I could get a job regarding the latter?

[Andy]

If the Cubs sweep STL this weekend and Cincy loses at least 2 of 3 to Pittsburgh, the Cubs would be 7 games (or 6.5) out with a month and a half to play.

 

I'm not saying. I'm just saying.

[Butterscup1679666578]

I'm not saying. I'm just saying.

 

“Chicago people are kind of fatalistic, but they continue to hope that somehow, some way the Cubs will shock even them and win it just one time. Their fatalism allows them to enjoy the team's success, knowing that one horrible thing will happen down the line to rip the rug out from underneath them.”

-Harry Carey

 

 

:-D

[Mizzou]

Time for another sweep!

[fiver]

Hey Fred, do you load your own trucks or do you use humpers? Do you know how I could get a job regarding the latter?

 

that's legal in the states? wow...missed my calling.

[C.C.]

I've been thinking the same thing. Can you imagine? Nah! Me neither...

[C.C.]

I'm calling out that Marmol will pitch 7 innings with only walking 3.

 

Cubs win 7-3.

[neely crenshaw]

we are getting excited and talking about contending....which means we should prepare for a butt whipping this weekend!

 

 

 

this is a double reverse jinx buster....
