Aramis's voice is much higher than you'd think it would be. It always cracks me up for some reason.

 

not as funny as Neifi's

I have had enough of this BS. The Cubs have had a horseshoe up their you know what's for the past week and a half now. This is so unbelievably disgusting it's nauseating. Since Cubs fans will be reading this, I will recap for them just how they have gotten all the breaks lately.

 

Wednesday, September 12th @ Houston- Cubs lead 3-1 entering the 9th Astros get 1 back on a run scoring Triple by Mike Lamb with 0 out. With the score 3-2 and the tying run on 3rd, the Cubs get a lame groundout to the left side of the infield that doesn't score the run. A Walk to Palmiero puts runners on 1st and 3rd. Dempster then proceeds to get a ground ball that is bobbled but recovered in time to turn the game ending DP. If Munson beats the throw, the game is tied and the outcome could've been completely different. No, it was not just making good pitches from Dempster, it was a VERY fortuitous bounce that the bobble was recovered just in time to turn the DP. Cubs win 3-2.

 

Friday, September 14th @STL- StL trails 2-1 in the top of the 9th. Jason Isringhausen enters the game with the bases loaded and Daryl Ward PH. Isringhausen makes 1 mistake and Ward clears the bases with a Triple to put the Cubs up 5-1. Prior to this game Izzy had only allowed 2 ER in his last 10 appearances. Cardinals get two HR's in the bottom of the 9th that would've been the game winner(s). The Cards then proceed to load the bases with two outs trailing 5-3 and Aaron Miles in a key spot swings at the 1st pitch and grounds out to end the game. Thanks Aaron!! Cubs win 5-3.

 

Saturday, September 15th @ STL- 1st game of a DH. Braden Looper absolutely baffled the Cubs for 7 innings. Leaving the game having retired 17 straight. Cards up 2-1 going to the 8th. Ryan Franklin comes in for the Cards and Walks Cliff Floyd(after a VERY questionable pitch called for Ball 3). He goes 3-2 to Alfonso Soriano, and then serves up a 2 run homer. After being baffled all game long by Looper, they hit one pitch and win the game 3-2.

 

Wednesday September 19th vs. Cincy-maybe the turning point of the season. Reds Cubs tied 2-2 and the Reds have a Norris Hopper on 2nd and two out. Encarnacion hits a pretty soft single to Left and the Reds inexplicable send Hopper around to try to score. Soriano makes perhaps the easiest throw to home he'll ever make the rest of his career to get Hopper by 50 ft at home. Of course, the Cubs score next inning and win the game 3-2.

 

 

It's the Cubs year apparently because they aren't NEARLY as talented as the Brewers, yet they will probably win the division and go to the post season thanks in large part to a lot of fortuitous bounces the last couple of months.

What a bitter d-bag. Every team gets lucky and gets bounces. It's the teams that capitalizes on them that wins.

I have had enough of this BS. The Cubs have had a horseshoe up their you know what's for the past week and a half now. This is so unbelievably disgusting it's nauseating.

Note that the Cubs didn't give up more than 3 runs in any of those games. Probably the most important thing those games have in common.

 

Hey Brewers, you don't want to lose the division? Don't go below .500 two straight months is a great way to start. And don't blow 13 three-run-plus leads to lose the game.

 

No sympathy from here.

The Guy's got a point - for the last 100 years, the Cubs have been definitely getting all the breaks. :roll:

What a bitter d-bag. Every team gets lucky and gets bounces. It's the teams that capitalizes on them that wins.

I really don't get what's so hard to understand about the magnitude of 162 games. Every damn team in the league has gotten lucky bounces, and every one of them has been robbed. Each and every team has earned their current spot in the standings, Brewers and their Yosts infection notwithstanding.

Someone needs to tell Brewer fan that talent alone doesn't win championships. It's also about heart and character.

[Andy]

Seriously, though, if the Brewers hadn't bent over for the NL in June and July and most of September, the Cubs are probably a good 7-10 games out right now. Take care of your own business, then you can whine.

[inari]

Again, I've never met a Brewers fan I liked. As much as they seem to take pride in calling us yuppy frat boy bandwagoners, I doubt many of them were following the team before this year. Pot. Kettle. Black.

Cubs coming on strong in September. The win today gives them a 13-8 record for the month. Edited September 21, 2007 by Bruno7481

Hmm...seems like Theriot should have been in the 2 hole today.

[DiamondMind]

It's weird, but Ive found myself growing more to respect the cardinals (but still hate them) and just flat out 100% dislike the brewers. at least the cardinals dont bitch and whine if we beat them, and vice versa. its a respectful rivalry. not with milwaukee though.

 

 

Oh, and I hate ryan braun.

Never mind the ball's bad bounce off first base for the lead off single in Houston or Hopper's ridiculous catch at Wrigley to rob Ramirez. Am I forgetting something? Oh right, Carlos Lee's diving catch at Houston and Pujols being out of the lineup for the rest of the year. Yeah, Cubs only catch good breaks.
