9/27 - CUBS (Trachsel) @ Marlins (Olsen) - 3:05 PM CT WGNTV

[kente777]

The funny thing is, there's still a chance we can clinch tomorrow.

 

We're the Cubs. Chances & reality are worlds apart.

 

If we were to back into the playoffs & play like this, I can just imagine what Wrigley Field will be like. Boos galore.

 

Yeah, best to keep that from happening. I can just see a weekend meltdown coming.

 

Instead of one inning, it'll be one series.

[Soul]

Am the only one not really upset about this?

 

I guess I've been conditioned to expect this malarkey from our team.

 

No, if the Cubs blow this, it will be legendary by even our standards.

 

I am freaking furious.

 

By the time the Brewers clinch on Sunday you'll be so emotionally spent it won't even phase you.

 

Been there, done that. It's deja vu all over again with this bullcrap team. Over & over again. And round & round we go!!

exactly, this is the definition of choke

 

i guess next years webster's dictionary can finally go ahead and put the cubs logo next to the definition

 

pg. 123

 

choke - to never come through in the end...i.e. the Chicago Cubs

 

yay

You've just simply prepared yourself for the inevitable before the rest of us.

 

I think it comes from the misfortune of growing up as a Cubs, Saints, and Rebels fan.

[cheapseats]

how do you get swept TWICE to the marlins.

Damn this all to hell.

 

Marquis - Trachsel

[Little Slide Rooter]

These guys pick up momentum like a team of 90 year old ladies.

[XZero771679666304]

Fake playoff run.

 

Oh still feel like we'll make it, but these damned soap droppers will let the Brewers catch us first.

 

If the Brewers take the division, I'll go freaking nuclear. To tell you the truth, I rather lose to the Cardinals. At least they have done it to us before. No the johnny-come-lately Brewers with their arrogant jackass fans who act like they can actually remember the last time the Crew even had a distant whiff of the playoffs.

 

No, F U Milwaukee.

I'm with you, I figure the Cubs will get bounced in 3 anyways if they do make it.

 

P.S. I still think they'll make the playoffs.

[moorecg]

This hurts too much.

UGHHH

I guess I've been conditioned to expect this malarkey from our team.

 

I'm not upset. I pretty much saw this coming after the Cubs dropped the first game of the series. Marquis and Traschel? Bleh.

 

The Cubs have Zambrano, Hill and Lilly pitching a series against a Reds team missing Griffey and Dunn. If the Cubs suck bad enough to blow that opportunity, then it's not even worth my time getting upset about it.

[XZero771679666304]

This hurts too much.

 

Hurts? I am too bust with my white-hot-fury-of-a-thousand-suns anger to feel pain.

 

I won't hurt until Monday, assuming the Cubs blow this thing.

[Omar]

Tomorrow's match-up is Z Vs. Arroyo. What's that... The 5th time this season they've faced off? This will work out well. It always does.

 

Cubs lose 6-5.

[Little Slide Rooter]

Right now, I'm skipping over panic straight into pure hatred.

 

I know you're not supposed to wish bad things on players here, so I wont go any further.

[CubsBears29]

Please tell me Lou will throw Trachsel on Monday if we have to play a 1-game playoff!

 

We need that valuable experience in a game like that!!!

You're thinking of Z and Harang.

QFT!

[UMFan83]

I've tempered my expections down from "witnessing a Cubs world series appearence" to "witnessing another Cubs win"

 

3 more chances boys.

[Little Slide Rooter]

I just hope that when the Cubs finally blow this thing, they'll have the decency not to show their faces in Chicago again until the Spring. Just have the grounds crew clear out their lockers and ship their belonging to them.

[CubsBears29]

I should have known better than to get a bit too overconfident after last weekend... when will I ever learn with this team!?

 

:cry:

What, no "Nice Choke Job" parade for them!?

This man speaks the truth.

[3Dog]

We live and die by the streaky, inconsistent offense.

Nope, next year's home opener will be Heimlich maneuver day.
