8/8 Idiots (Z) @ Astros (Oswalt) 7:05 PM WGN

[inari]

I'm gonna tune into the Sox game and listen to Steve Stone. This should be fun, Steve Stone is a genius. Just ask him!

 

Yeah, I stole that from MJ&H.

[anabiono]

wow, these boys really picked a horrible time to spiral

 

i am still barely clinging to the hope that it isn't an out-of-control spiral

[Sosa21MVP]

Times like this make me wish I still had a prescription for Xanax.

 

You should be able to go to a psychiatrist, tell them your a Cubs' fan, and receive an unlimited amount of Xanax.

 

 

Vicodin, please.

 

Nice. I had a good amount of those about a year ago when I had my appendix out. 8-)

[Fred Hornkohl]

D Lee flied out to right field

[CubmanPi]

I'm starting to think the Cubs are using wiffle ball bats.

 

Are they even bringing bats of any kind w/ them to the plate?

I don't think they're wiffle bats, just because I don't think they would break as easily as Z's did.

Don't you get it - that was a fake winning streak they were on.

[Soul]

Think I will pursue other interests for awhile. This team threatens to put me to sleep hours before my bedtime.

[TMan92]

And that ladies and gentlemen is our cleanup hitter. Horrible.

[E.J.]

Cliff Floyd is just terrible. Horrible. Horrible. Horrible.

i don't believe that

Yep, this is starting to border on the macabre.

[Cynosure]

Floyd is awesome... LOL!

[Sosa21MVP]

why the hell does a major league baseball player have a listed phone number?

 

R Oswalt might not stand for "Roy."

 

You know back when I was a kid and made prank phone calls me & my buddy called this random person in Columbia City, Indiana with the last name Mantle and joked around about talking to Mickey.....old lady was real serious and said "oh he don't visit much anymore" or something like that. Always left me wondering if that was really a relation to THE Mick. :lol: And yes this was before he passed away.

[CubsBears29]

15 hits and 3 runs after 23 inning in the Juice Box.

 

Cubs better save some of this explosive offense for the rest of the season, would hate to run out too soon.

[TruffleShuffle]

cliff floyd was a terrible signing, for multiple reasons

[CyHawk_Cub]

cliff floyd was a terrible signing, for multiple reasons

 

But he brings intangibles like niceness, leadership.......and umm, niceness

[NomarSammy]

Biy, i am really with you there. I am really growing tired of watching him play. Seems like that hunger he was playing with early is gone and now he looks more like one of Dusty's boys.

 

Man, I just cant take much more

 

 

Cliff Floyd is just terrible. Horrible. Horrible. Horrible.

[Sosa21MVP]

Yay

[CubsNSkers07]

woo hoo cubs we are awesome!

[CubsBears29]

And that is my exit cue. Time to find something else to waste my night on. Again, I envy those of you can keep going through this torture, in hopes of some fake rallies.

 

Laterz all.

[CyHawk_Cub]

If Z starts mirroring the rest of this team, we're cooked...

[Fred Hornkohl]

Berkman homered to left center field

[anabiono]

dude...AWESOME

[WrigleyinEngland]

The joke is i knew we were done at the deadline, if any kind of injury hit the lineup we were dead. Hendry got us no help and now i'm watching the '06 cubs, seriously when are we going to just admit guys like Cedeno,Pagan,Ohman,Jones,Floyd have no place on a ball club chasing the division. I don't think we'll even finish above 500. and ther's another one......
