[Little Slide Rooter]

EVERY MAN FOR HIMSELF.

 

TRAMPLE THE WOMEN AND CHILDREN AND USE THEIR BODIES TO SURVIVE.

 

the lone optimist.

 

You're profoundly stupid.

 

You're the one who thinks this team has a chance.

 

You're remarkably moronic.

 

Cant argue with that logic. Im sure you'll go off and dig up a combination of edgy sarcasm and random stats to prove it as only you can.

[Sammy Sofa]

Civility.

 

That time is long gone.

[cubs121]

It's time for back to back to back to back to back to back to back to back to back to back to back to back home runs.

Or, back to back to back grand slams!!! :D

[Fred Hornkohl]

Soriano flied out to left field

[cubs121]

Yay for Lilly!

[bcl412]

It's time for back to back to back to back to back to back to back to back to back to back to back to back home runs.

Mine would be cooler.

(Not that it matters)

[Sammys Boombox]

It's time for back to back to back to back to back to back to back to back to back to back to back to back home runs.

Or, back to back to back grand slams!!! :D

 

We need back to back to back grand slams for a 1-run lead.

[Sammy Sofa]

Cant argue with that logic. Im sure you'll go off and dig up a combination of edgy sarcasm and random stats to prove it as only you can.

 

At least you recognize how helpless you are in the face of such overwhelming dominance.

Yeah but neither is possible with these cubs.. Unless your talking about back to back to back to back to back to back K's

[Sammys Boombox]

Glad to see Martinez is back to form.

[A-Cal]

[bcl412]

In all honesty I still have a bit of hope. The last few games we've been throwing some crap pitchers out there on the mound and it was against two of the best teams in the NL. Hopefully Z and Lilly come back and pitch well and we can beat the bad teams. We're only two back in the loss column (unless the Reds comeback) so it's far, far from over.

 

We're going to have to play well though because the Cards aren't going to slump that often I don't think.

Please, your a student in lincoln park, you should be out having a good time instead of "dominating" internet chat boards. However, I doubt your the "dominating" force in the social scene that you are around here.

I'm sure he appreciates a hapless team against which to ease back in.

After being a Cub fan for sooo long.. I don't want to be optimistic anymore. It's heartbreaking and nothing good comes from it, especially being a fan of this team.

Even if we do leave a trail of carnage between the Reds, Nationals, Brewers, Astros, and Pirates, if it is enough to make it to the post season, wed run right into these guys or the Dodgers, and then this will happen.

[Outshined_One]

Thank God we're playing the Pirates after this.

[Butterscup1679666578]

yeah i dont wanna lose 20-1 in the playoffs. its better to just bend over now.
