Go Cubs!! Win my first ever game thread start!

[JimSorgi]

Don't make me sick Cubs.

[Butterscup1679666578]

Win you bleepin' bleeps.

[rickrolled]

we were playing the Phillies the day we acquired Nomar.

 

I assume this means Dunn to the Cobs is definitely happening

[CyHawk_Cub]

Note to the Cubs offense: remember, Eaton is NOT a left-hander...

 

Note to Marquis: ehh, forget it, you won't listen anyway...

[E.J.]

I predict a 45-43 victory for the Cubs in this game.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Just win, bitches.

I demand the slaughter rule ahead of time just to save everyone the evening.

 

I'm willing to sacrifice Marquis to the gods if necessary.

 

The OLD gods.

[CubmanPi]

I really hope Marquis finds his off-speed stuff again and regains his early season studliness, but this thread being started with a picture of him in his Cardinals uni surely can't be good juju.

We SHOULD win this game.

[IWU_CUBS_FAN]

We SHOULD win this game.

except that doesn't mean we will.....JUST WIN cuz that losing BS SUCKS!

[Carlos Zambrano]

Agreed.

[TysonCBulls423]

13 hours until the deadline...I'm feeling lucky! Cubs get Church, Cubs win, Glavine wins 300, and 1st place! Go CUBS!

[inari]

I really don't want to start a game thread tomorrow, so don't suck Cubs!

[A New Era]

Guess we'll already know. Or if they are good at keeping secrets. They could announce possibly church during the game. Either way, Go CUBS!! . . . . . plz.

The trade would have most likely been announced before the game seeing as the deadline is at like 3 or 3:30 EST, and the game is at 8:05 EST

[soccer10k]

Please win, Cubs.

[Rob]

What idiot decided to air the game on WCIU the day of the trade deadline? I'm sure the Nomar deal alone boosted ratings for that first game by a bunch. What happens if we trade for a big name and nobody gets to watch that magical first game?

What idiot decided to air the game on WCIU the day of the trade deadline? I'm sure the Nomar deal alone boosted ratings for that first game by a bunch. What happens if we trade for a big name and nobody gets to watch that magical first game?

 

Idiots.

 

What happens if we want to watch the game and not have it look like 1972?

See, I don't even know what WCIU looks like; so I don't know if that's a rip on WCIU, CSN, or WGN.
