7/20 Rattlesnakes (Webb) @ Chicago Cubs (Marquis), 1:20pm CT

Aww man, I missed the last 4 innings. When I left they were down 2-1. I guess I shouldn't complain, I was getting a massage. :D

Brewer fans a little peeved at Aram and the Cubs winning ways

 

:D

That board is hilarious because you can replace "Fontenot and Theriot" with "Braun and Hardy" and Cubs with "Brewers" and it'll all still work. The Cubs are a much better team than the Brewers and I predicted before the ASB that the Cubs would be in first place by the time school starts, around mid-August. That series at the end of the month will do nothing but extend our lead more.

That's awesome! Very funny! I can imagine what we look like to outsiders when we lose.

[Derwood]

i'm suddenly filled with the urge to sign up for that site and rub it in

It's not coming up anymore, but a while back, when I googled my screenname, two of the first four hits were a Yankees and a Cardinals board quoting pieces of this site following Cubs losses.

I won't be urged to rub anything in anyone's face until after the Cubs are the last team celebrating. This team has a way of making me pay every time I gloat even the slightest bit, and I'm done learning lessons.

Wow - I just googled my screename and it is a porn site :shock: :shock: :shock:

I enjoyed this one:

 

"What on EARTH is it about playing the Cubs lately that makes every freaking team in the league commit errors at a rapid rate, and acquire a sudden inability to hit Jason Marquis?"

Yea, particularly apparent are the complaints about "remember when they used to suck?" and "they're not going to lose again this season." I think both sets of fans have been saying the same things for a month now.

 

It sucks that the Cubs have been playing such great baseball for such an extended period and still can't seem to make up much ground, but I think it's awesome that the competition is between two teams that never have losing streaks rather than being a war of attrition.

5 games in like 3 weeks or whatever is pretty good

It isn't like the Brewers haven't won about 40 million one run games, it seems like lately.

 

Yes, I'm overstating, but it seems like everytime I watch, they win 3-2, 5-4, 4-3, 2-1, 1-0.

[Keener98]

The Cubs have now won 11 straight starts vs right handed pitching :shock:

[98navigator]

Didnt this hot run start when we swept the sox at the cell, or was it a series or two before that?

 

Everyone points to June 3 as the beginning of the hot streak. That was the last game of a home series with AtL (they lost that series 1 game to 2). The Cubs went to MIL for three games and the rest is history.

 

The Cubs are now 29-13 since June 13. That's a whopping .690 winning %

 

EDIT: I meant 29-13 since June 3.

The sweep over the Sox was the beginning of the 7-game winning streak, which followed losing the last two games in Texas, and the beginning of the current stretch of 19-5.

 

A win tomorrow will have the Cubs playing .800 baseball over a 30-day (22 Jun - 21 Jul) stretch!!

 

EDIT - This wasn't contradicting you, just an add-on. June 3 is the start that is commonly referred to when saying that the Cubs are the best team in baseball since ... "

So maybe we should start a pool on Jason Kendalls 1st hit as a Cub? Im calling next Tues vs the Cards

NLDS, Game 2, Kendall hits a GW-homerun to tally his first hit as a Cub, after starting out 0-117. Just a guess.

[CubmanPi]

Is tomorrow's game the national broadcast on Fox? I hope so, since the other options for the time slot are DRays-Yankees and Mariners-BlueJays, though it figures that last week, when a Bay Area game blocks me out, would be the week it's a national broadcast.

 

On a related note, I vote for the new game thread to start.

LOL, I'd be very happy with that scenario.

Actually, it's on WGN (12:05pm start). If it were a Fox game the start time would be 2.55pm CT.

Oh cool, thanks. It doesn't seem like any Bay Area locale carries WGN. Hopefully the hotel I'm getting tonight has it and the gf doesn't mind sleeping in until 1.
