I could get used to more of that and less of Marquis.

[UMFan83]

winning 1 game out of every series is a great recipe to go nowhere.

 

O RLY?

 

Hey, we are undefeated in the middle game of the last five 3 game series

[illiniguy]

I loathe losing to these clowns. At least the Brewers have a real baseball team. This is Albert Pujols and the bums, yet here we are.

 

You're a Cubs fan. If anyone should be used to losing games we ought to win, it's us.

 

This probably deserves a ban:

Like I said....

That game probably took years off of all of our lives.

If anyone gets on, we'll have Kosuke. This isn't necessarily over.

Great. Soriano is leading off the inning.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 0-9 when they trail by 2 or more runs at the end of 8 innings.

 

Go CUBS !!

they should be one of the worst teams in the game, so i'm not too upset that they're overperforming and won't land an elite stud in the draft

Pujols was a 13th round pick, so it probably doesn't matter where they're picking.

Isringhausen in to pitch for St. Louis

They don't need to. Crap their 14th round guys turn into Pujols.

[CubsGM]

Soriano down 0-2 again!

[DivineBovine]

When Sori swings at the first pitch, its a ball, and when he takes, its a strike. That's Pattersonesque.

That game was one of the first times I've ever wanted to actually kill a baseball player. LaTroy Hawkins is probably one of my most despised players I can ever remember on the Cubs.

It took a while for my wife to understand how the simple words "Game 6" can piss me off.

 

I should probably seek professional help for this.
