The negativity here is astounding. Sure, this season hasn't turned out the way we all wanted it to, but now's not the time to give up. It's not out of reach. Lilly is pitching today. We've still got the most talent, and we've still got time to get it together. I'll give up when Ron Santo does.

 

Wow.

 

God bless the pom-pom wavers.

 

Most of you posters sound like Cardinals fans. I make no apology for still believing they could pull this out. Why even follow the team if you're going to be this negative?

 

To you, it's negativity. To many, it's simply being realistic.

 

I'd be ecstatic if they managed to come back and make the playoffs. I'm not going to get my hopes up though, only to have them dashed.

You don't have to apologize for that, but you probably should for insulting everybody in a manner that makes no sense whatsoever.

[Prizefight]

why do crack heads still smoke crack despite the fact that its slowly killing them?

 

I'm in tears at work between the Simpsons and this quote...great stuff

I'm a crack head because I still want and expect the Cubs to win? I apologize. I thought this was a Web site for Cubs fans.

[Outshined_One]

Loves me some hustle.

In 3 abs he seen about usually what Kosuke would have in one.

Bradley boosting his trade value from "2 packs of Big League Chew" to a $50 gift card to Home Depot. Nice job Milt!

I like Milt and all, but it's hard to find good big league chew. Are we talking grape?

Read back to some older Game Threads and you'll see we used to be ra-ra and optimistic. At this point, like someone above said, a lot of us feel this is a realistic approach to take with this team based on what they've shown us since April.

Only 1 pack of grape. The other is bubble gum.

Why would we trade away the player who best sums up our season?

Miles isn't going anywhere.

[JonnyRed]

Sure would be nice if the Cubs could score a couple of runs for Lilly. He's had all of 3 runs the last four outings...

OK, I see your point.

 

They suck. They're always going to suck.

 

I'll get with the program.

[coldsteel]

Thank god. Do you realize we almost lost out on him to the Cardinals. Now that would have been a catastrophe.

[Butterscup1679666578]

those two people just waved and kissed. [expletive] them.

No one saying they'll always suck etc. But they have been a bad baseball team this year when you consider their payroll and the realistic expectations that people had coming into this year.

 

The beauty of this board and baseball in general is you can enjoy it in any way that makes you happy. If you want to be really optimistic with this team please keep posting as I'm sure some people would love the injection of confidence. If you think that this season is about done, then post things like that. The world is your oyster.
