04/05 CUBS (Zambrano) @ Atlanta (Lowe) 3:05 CDT, WCIU & ESPN

Ballgame. I'm out.

 

This is why I need to stop looking forward to things. It always ends in disappointment. If I think bad things will happen, then I don't get pissed off when they do, and if they don't it's a nice surprise.

 

Ok, who had page 19 of the opening day game thread in the "When will Erik call BALLGAME first" derby?

 

Do you think the Cubs will win this game, IMB? Because if you do I'd like to wager one month of BAN on it.

 

But you're a little man who never backs up anything he says so you won't take me up on it.

 

Well you said you were leaving so I'm not sure you have any room to talk about not standing behind what you say.

 

I'm sorry.... was I talking to you?

 

Excellent.

Those white kicks make Sori look even slower

[Butterscup1679666578]

Soriano-Fontenot is quite the two-man black hole of awful

[Sammy Sofa]

Next step for Soriano: the infield dirt.

Better put Colvin in.

[Cubswin11]

Fontenot sucks so hard

[imb]

I hate IMB so I'm trying to back erik up by finding that post where he said the Cubs would win this game.

 

i hid it in the minor league forum. i made the post 4 months ago

[jersey cubs fan]

My [expletive] list:

 

Theriot, Soriano, Fontenot

The 6-1 hitters are basically a candy shop for a guy like Lowe.

no, this isn't raisin!

[illiniguy]

He was Jim's prize for Sammy though. Can't get rid of him.

[TruffleShuffle]

lol so orel hersheiser has already determined that the cubs' offense is going to be fine and their playoff chances depend on their pitching. nice to see he jumped to that conclusion after 3 innings of play in 2010.

[Schwarber Fan]

try to pull it and you're gonna roll over it every damn time, Cubs

 

and anyone know anything about this Heyward kid? You'd think ESPN would talk about him a bit

[hardcorecubfan]

We knocked the crap out the ball that inning :roll:

[UMFan83]

Kyle I hear what your saying man, and on the surface it seems like it would make sense, but I can't see how your argument that you have to miss bats to be a good pitcher works when there have been far too many pitchers, HOF ones at that, who made a living pitching to contact.

I still think Soto will be OK

Name them. I bet almost all of them missed bats at a decent rate.

he's probably right though. he's actually a pretty smart guy and into numbers and stuff. he can probably see that last years team underachieved a bit, and assuming health, the offense could bounce back quite a bit. he can also see that the bullpen will probably be shaky and that silva and gorzelanny are in our rotation.

[Old Style]

I'll be first to say it. Castro needs to be called up and Colvin needs to replace Soriano.

 

AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH. It feels good to get that off my chest.

[Omar]

Theres something about losing that brings out the worst in us.

I do, too, but even when he's on he's dead meat with a guy like Lowe.

Hahahahahaahahaah!

[bukie]

It would appear the Cubs may not keep up their 15 run scoring pace established over their first 3 innings. Now their only chance is to hope their pitching can improve upon their 36 run allowing pace established over 2 innings to remain competitive for this year.

Come on, this is fun dammit!

 

Where would we be without our loser Cubs?

 

 

Oh yeah, we'd be winning and happy. To hell with that!

we won 97 games two years ago, and threads were worse than this...

 

there's something about posting in the same message board the brings out the worst in us
