If Seattle finishes off Texas tonight, the Cubs can clinch a protected draft pick with a loss...so there is that anyway.

 

To me, this is the most important storyline of the day.

[Larry Horse]

I wonder what WGN will do for a tribute video?

 

If it's symbolic of the season, they won't have one.

 

The season from Hell is almost over!

 

I swear, it's like some people have completely forgotten anything pre-2007.

 

Yea.....remember that World Series title? That was awesome.......

 

I guess as a Cubs fan I should be content with a division title.

Way to completely make up something nobody said.

 

I was just pointing out that personally I don't think in the grand history of all things Cubdom this was anywhere near "the season from Hell."

2006 season: THAT was the season from hell.

2009 season: Frustrated as hell.

Pretty much, hence my "nobody remembers anything before 2007" comment. It's not like we have to look back too far for a truly horrendous and classically bad Cubs' season.

If you really think that 2006 was the season from hell..... then take a minute and consider these factoids.

 

• * At 66-96, this wasn't even the worst CUBS team of the decade.
  * Since their last pennant in '45, the CUBS have fielded 16 teams that finished with a worse record than 66-96; including two 59-103 campaigns back in the 60's
  * For two full decades (1947-66) the team's AVERAGE record was 69-93. Now, technically, that is better than 66-96.... but come on..... we're talking 19 losing seasons in 20 years, and 10 in a row.
  * From 1960-62 the CUBS' average season record was 61-96.... and they did this with a middle of the order of Williams, Santo, & Banks !!!!
  * The 2006 CUBS finished in 6th place. From '47-66 the CUBS finished 5th 3 times, 6th twice, and lower than 6th place 15 times !!
  

 

Now, I'm surely not trying to argue that 2006 was a good season; clearly, it sucked hind teat ! But to refer to 2006 as the season from hell leaves people with this one burning question.............

 

 

What the hell do you know about Hell ??????

 

 

:flame:

[Sammy Sofa]

I'm not saying 2006 was the worst season. Lord knows I've witnessed plenty of them that were much worse in my own lifetime.

Yeah, I know you're not. After I made that post, I realized that I really quoted the wrong poster.

 

Also, I wanted to thank you for the kind words above. :hello:

You're a trooper and a saint, Fred.
