They are better. Not invincible, but better.

[laurens]

Oh come on, this guy's fastball is so slow gameday thinks it's a changeup. If you can kick Jamie Moyer's ass, why not this bum?

It took the CUBS 30 years to win 2 WS..... took the Phillies 126 years !!

So meaning nothing but a vague allusion to the fact that we're cursed or we'll always choke no matter who is on the roster? Or nonsense similar to that? Okay.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Gonzalez sacrificed, 2-4, Taveras to second

[Careless]

K Hill struck out swinging

 

At nearly the exact same moment as Koyie Hill was striking out, Geovany Soto hit his 2nd home run while on rehab with Tennessee.

I don't agree. I remember fans of the Mets, Phillies, and Dodgers all hoping to draw the Cubs towards the end of the season. I think it's because despite having several good hitters and pitchers, there are none that really people stay up at night worying about. Of course most fans are idiots.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Last time the CUBS allowed 2 sac bunts in a game.... Mon 27 July 09 in a 5-1 win ove Houston at Wrigley

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Fred Hornkohl]

Votto struck out swinging

I didn't say "all" or even "most". I get the idea behind some thinking the Phils are invincible, but it's baseball (or even life in general)...the "best" team doesn't always win.

Because the Cubs have proven, even one single time, to disprove that? Okay.

Something about Votto's mannerisms remind me of Ryan Braun
