[Fred Hornkohl]

Furcal grounded out to short, 6-3

[minnesotacubsfan]

This has got to be even worse for the mods. They're pretty much stuck here and therefore stuck with the Cubs.

 

tim pays really well.

[obcubs]

fukudome should have been starting against his countrymen. and zambrano should have started game 1. this serious has not been well played, nor has it been well managed

Soriano's postseason OPS, by year: .713, .563, .562, .343, .167

 

That is going to be a dang hard streak to keep up for another year or two.

 

not really. chances are good we will get a lousy owner and never make the playoffs again, for like 25 years or so.

 

 

its a shoe-in really.

 

The lousy owner will be broke.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 6-23 when they get less than 7 hits

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[JimSorgi]

I don't want to watch anymore, but I just have to.

That is my #1 fear for the future.

Does it really matter if all they are gonna do is lay down like a bunch of dogs?

Anyone that has enough money to buy the Cubs is a very rich person.

Martin popped out to shallow right field

My pain would be eased somewhat if, somehow, every one of those godforsaken towels suddenly burst into flame.

[DiamondMind]

I think fontenot is the only person left on the team I dont passionately hate right now

What'd Lee do?

 

Hit into double plays all year. Booted a ball in game one. Hasn't done crap like everyone else w/ RISP. Impotent leader.

Exactly. Why do we *want* them to make the playoffs? Does it ever mean good things? Does it make us happy? No.

 

It's like wanting to see your dog get run over.

[ZiggyTaxi]

I don't like LA. There I said it.

What'd Lee do?

 

That's a great question. What has he done for us since April?

Rich folks are business people who realize that Wrigley will fund the Cubs for a while before they need to put a good product on the field.

Well, he's been pretty good in the playoffs.

[TMan92]

You would think just one person would rise to the occasion. But it just never changes. Sickening.

This ought to make us hit the bottle harder tonight:

 

The Milwaukee Brewers, who missed the playoffs entirely last year because of us and who lost the division to us this year, will more then likely have one more playoff win with ZERO division titles in those two years.

I can't tell if this is sarcasm or not.
