[Andy]

Repeating the question, how the hell are we one game out of first place?

 

Maybe we can make it .5?

 

Nah.

[inari]

I think the skid ends today. Not saying we're not going to keep losing after that, but tomorrow will be a win.

[Flames24Rulz]

I have a feeling that the Cubs are going to be shut down once again.

[TruffleShuffle]

probably skipping this one, due to other plans and not wanting to watch the cubs lose again

oh shucks...

 

i am going to see the daytona cubbies in my hometown of clearwater on sunday...so...i will miss about half of that game...

 

oh shucks...

 

color me depressed at the moment

owned by a Ubaldo ?

[CubsBears29]

Cubs get swept this series by a combined score of 54-9.

 

Can't wait!! :(

 

 

 

Ok, slight exageration, but the Cubs have some seriously bad mojo to purge from their systems, and the sooner they started this process, the much better for them and us fans.

[CubsBears29]

Cubs are 1-14 vs Ubaldo, and that one hit coming from a guy who probly won't be playing tomorrow. And the Rocks' players who have faced Lilly are a combined .344 vs him.

 

 

16-2 kinda loss here we come! Saweeeeeeeeeeeeeet!! :cry:

Lilly is also a flyball pitcher in Coors Field.

[Cynosure]

Well tonight is going to be verry interesting it seems.

[soccer10k]

I really hope I have work to do tomorrow so I don't have to watch this game.

[Cynosure]

Then I hope we blow them out so you wish you would have watched the game!

[Little Slide Rooter]

It the Cubs dont hit some homers tonight, they may as well not show up to work the next 2 months.

[Cynosure]

If they don't show up for the next 2 months they might actually do better than if they do :)
