I think this is the most posts we've had before a game since opening day.

Yesterday's thread was up to 7 premium pages before first pitch I think.

Wow, that quite a large avatar. It's as if Matt Murton is actually in my house.

 

Are you from Des Moines?

Maybe the most without an off day in between games - which the Cubs had before today's game?

[JockJones]

I propose we start a designated soul list. Given the undisputable evidence that God will trade cubs wins for NSBB souls, we must oblige.

 

Sign up to commit your Sundays to God and keep the streak alive.

 

Who's first?

I already go to church on Sundays, so that's 1.

me too, chalk another up

 

I'm already going this Sunday but you can count me in.

The thread was up the day before, though, it's not like we had a huge amount of extra time.

True. This thing is gonna be up to 10 premium pages by the time the game starts tomorrow.

Hey Cubs, listen to me... DON'T SUCK!

[Balsa]

I want 10 in a row so Bob and Len have to switch facial hair.

[Omar]

Yeah.

 

I think they made that deal in 2005. I hope they still remember it.

[Schwarber Fan]

Marshall's is going to have to be on the top of his game. 2 or 3 runs could win this one.

 

GO CUBS!!

[Texasflood]

Grrrrrrr-I just went to tape tomorrow's game, and what do I get? "Mets vs Phillies". So I went to make sure the listings were correct, and I found that the Cubs-Brewers game is being shown on my Fox Spanish affiliate, so I was happy again. Then I went to that channel and found that I do not have it. So a game I was looking forward to watching is no more.

 

I feel your pain brother. I pay for MLB extra innings but I've pretty much resigned myself to never being able to see the Cubs on Saturday. Regional coverage sucks (usually featuring the Lastros or Rangers). If they're not featured either the Mets or Yankees are next in the rotation. This regional coverage by Fox is just a pain in the arse and shuts out Cub fans who don't live in the MidWest.

Seriously that avatar is messing up all the pages.

 

DAMNIT MATT

[Andy]

I don't think I can rationally comprehend how awesome a Cubs win today would be.

 

Hey Chicago, whaddya say, the Cubs are gonna WIN today!

CUBS               269 1198  0.183

I have no problems with this lineup. Let's make it 8 in a row!

[Mizzou]

Wow, I didn't realize how great Marshall has been this year.

 

There's a guy who has truly been awesome in nearly 100% of his starts!

[Bull]

I propose we start a designated soul list. Given the undisputable evidence that God will trade cubs wins for NSBB souls, we must oblige.

 

Sign up to commit your Sundays to God and keep the streak alive.

 

Who's first?

I already go to church on Sundays, so that's 1.

me too, chalk another up

 

I've tried it. I'm a minister. Trust me it doesn't work. He's just not a Cubs fan.

I did my annual "oh crap it's Sheets" today, only to then realize Marshall has been better (in a shorter amout of time obviously). It was very, er, refreshing :lol:

[anabiono]

if the cubs sweep this series...i will quit smoking as soon as the final out!

 

i am already close...but...it will probably happen sooner if the cubs sweep the brewers
