8/26 Cubs (Marquis) @ D'Backs (Petit?) 3:40 CST on Comcast

[AlwaysaCub]

lol you guys are funny :lol:

 

Do you post here only to laugh at people that aren't blindly optimistic?

 

More like post here to laugh at the obnoxious pessimists.

 

How old are you? We aren't pessimists, more like realists. Optimists are obnoxious.

 

Meanwhile, Marquis needs to hit the showers and the waiver wire fast.

 

What does age have to do with anything? And realists? Are you kidding me? How many times has the season been over already?

 

How many times have we seen the Cubs tank their playoff chances? How many times have we seen the Cubs tank even if they manage to make the playoffs?

 

Losses=Tanks

got it.

 

I swear, rooting for this team feels like being run over by one sometimes.

 

Look, if you prepare for the worst, as often happens with this club, good play is just awesome. If you expect them to do well, the inevitable collapse feels something like death.

 

This was proven true during the Octobers of 2003 and 1984.

Nice wavy mullet, Gonzalez.

The players make up the team. Just because past teams have failed doesn't mean this unit will too. Yeah talent wise they don't look too good compared to other teams but that doesn't mean they are going to fail because they are the "Cobs".

 

Obviously, but please don't act like our negative responses when this team does poorly is somehow unusual or misdirected given how this organization has stumbled time and time again.

5.33 ERA?

 

I'm predicting that he'll get out of the inning on about 7 pitches.

[RegulusBlue]

This team is better when Murton starts.

You haven't been around this team long, have you?

 

Since 2002. Most of the current Cubs haven't been around that long either.

[IowaCubsFan]

It's so pathetic that Jones has been this team's best hitter for the last month.

[Magnetic Curses]

when's the last time the cubs took a series from the dbacks?

[PrimeTime]

This team is better when Murton starts.

 

Yea of course like when he was in yesterday and they lost

[IowaCubsFan]

In this park, no less. IIRC, they're WP is below .400 at Bank One/Chase.

[CubsBears29]

My glasses are tinted blue, but that was damned close. Bang-bang.

[RegulusBlue]

Grace and whoever the other DBacks announcer is are brutal. Grace is just hanging out, but the play by play guy is on par with the Brewers TV guys.

 

Atrocious.

[Alfonso Soriano]

LOL.

[inari]

Honestly? I don't recall one.

That's why they need to bring Gracie over to replace Brenly.

LOL, he had three hits. Enjoy having no idea what you're talking about.

[TysonCBulls423]

Rough inning. We really need a run next inning.

The only point I had is that it's very annoying to see someone make sure everyone knows how optimistic they are during every single game no matter what's happening. You can say bad things about the Cubs, they won't hate you.

[CubsBears29]

I could so see this game ending up 5-4, or 6-4.

[IowaCubsFan]

Pathetic. Three groundouts against a pitcher with a 5.33 ERA.

[synergy]

This team is better when Murton starts.

 

Yea of course like when he was in yesterday and they lost

 

LOL, he had three hits. Enjoy having no idea what you're talking about.

 

And? Floyd had a homer and Monroe had a double. Also, he nearly had a homer himself.

[Fred Hornkohl]

This team is better when Murton starts.

 

CUBS are 17-23 when Murton starts.... 49-39 when he doesn't.

 

 

Go CUBS !!

I kno he did.But how was the team better that he was in the lineup? They still lost.I just like giving the Murton nuthuggers a hard time since they think he's the second coming of Billy Williams
