[Master Shake]

WHo ever said Sori would it a hr... I have one thing to say to you..

 

 

You forgot what team this was. :(

[jaydee]

heres a novel idea to this idiotic league : dont make a playoff series 5 games. its a 162 game season you mongoloids.

[CDBears1259]

Please for the love of God and all things holy get Sorry the hell out of here. I know that contract is an albatross. I hope this hurts the hell out of this bunch of losers.

i really hate soriano

[NotSoSober]

soriano loves to suck giant [expletive]...what am embarrassment

[Master Shake]

It's been a great year. Too bad it ended this way. I'll be back although I don't know why. :cry:

 

It has NOT been a good year when you come so close just to lose it all.

[TMan92]

I want my summer back.

[JimSorgi]

dick stockton said people thought Soriano was going to lead the Cubs in the playoffs.....who could possibly think that?

[TMan92]

heres a novel idea to this idiotic league : dont make a playoff series 5 games. its a 162 game season you mongoloids.

 

We would have lost in four.

[witty alias]

At least it was a fitting ending. A K on a down and away breaking ball.

[Shyam]

heres a novel idea to this idiotic league : dont make a playoff series 5 games. its a 162 game season you mongoloids.

 

Really? Do you seriously think the team we just saw for the past 3 games would win 4 in a row had it been a 7 game series?

[JimSorgi]

The sad thing is, I knew all along that we would lose. I kept saying we would win, when even from the beginning I knew we would lose. I hate this team.

[Sammy Sofa]

Good for the Dodgers.

 

They showed up to play and took advantage of the opportunities given to them. You gotta earn it at each level, and they earned this one.

 

See you next February, Cubs. It's a sad end, but it was a hell of a ride this season, and easily the one I've enjoyed the most in my 25 years as a Cubs fan.

Now you have to wait all the way until Spring Training to get another opportunity to get after it. That's what is so frustrating is to play 162, win the division, and everyone is excited, and you come into the postseason and even though the stats will say I swung the bat well this series, or somewhat well, the one time I needed to come through for my team -- my team was reeling, and needed one guy to get them over the hump and I didn't get it done. That's something that will stick with me.

 

I don't buy into that "curse" and all that garbage that goes along with this team. We felt we had the pieces to get it done. We weathered the storm in the regular season and went through a tough April and May and were still able to find a way to meet the expectations that were placed on us in Spring Training to win a division. We were able to do that, and to catch Milwaukee, which was the hottest team in baseball. There are a lot of good things that happened. It doesn't matter right now. Stuff goes out the window for awhile, and it's going to take me a long time to look at the positives, even though there were quite a few.

 

To the fans, stay with us. We're just starting. For a lot of guys, it's our first year here. We were able to get this thing going in the right direction and I credit the front office with going out and bringing quality individuals here this offseason. I want to give a lot of credit to the guys who were already here. There was a lot of talent when I walked in for Spring Training; it wasn't just the guys they signed. It's the guys who were already here in D-Lee, and Ramy and pitchers.

 

You almost want to apologize to the fans, because I think they expected more and we expected more, and that's the frustrating part.

 

YES, THAT'S FROM DEROSA'S BLOG LAST SEASON.

[vj9999]

Better team won.

[Master Shake]

Manny should thank the CUbs that we sucked so bad.

 

If it wasnt for our horrid play the dodgers wouldnt hve won

[JGalt73]

if Dodgers fan love their children too....

[Moises a loo]

Manny vs. Red Sox in the WS. Book it.

[Terp]

So glad there's football later today. I don't know how I watched the whole game, that was just bad.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

heres a novel idea to this idiotic league : dont make a playoff series 5 games. its a 162 game season you mongoloids.

 

Best of 7 totally would have made the difference :lol:

[reds44]

Sorry. I seriously feel awful for all of you, and I really didn't care who won this series.

 

Keep your heads up, they'll be back. One day they'll win it and it will be that much sweeter.

[CDBears1259]

Good for the Dodgers.

 

They showed up to play and took advantage of the opportunities given to them. You gotta earn it at each level, and they earned this one.

It would have been nice had the Cubs put up any kind of legit effort though.

[rynefan]

You know what? A year later here we all are. Same old story. In my opinion, ANY of them can go for next year.
