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

A bad game shouldn't change your expectations for the team.

 

But anytime the Cubs lose and the Cardinals win, the playoff odds get a little lower.

Has a team ever came from one back after one game to win it all?

 

Yes. But the odds are a little lower than if they weren't a game back.

It's one day. And as you like to point about our aging guys being injury prone, so is Chris Carpenter. Ok maybe not you, but this board.

colvin and shark on the big club! the 2006 draft was a success!

[erik316wttn]

Is it beyond the pale to suggest sulley off himself for the greater good of Chicago fans?

 

Classy, [expletive]. Real classy.

 

How about you go first?

[illiniguy]

why doesn't this stuff ever happen for us instead of to us?

 

because most organizations don't waste $10m on wide receivers? samardzija got one of the biggest contracts awarded to players in the amateur draft. sometimes the cubs are unlucky but usually managment just does [expletive] things that predictably blows up in their face.

 

Technically they only spent like $750,000 on him out of the draft. He was already a pro when they gave him the big deal.

so he had already started sucking, even better.

The good news is that we wont have to deal with that gut wrenching fake rally in the 9th. The bad news is we're only 1/162 of the way and I'm already slightly annoyed.

[Schwarber Fan]

Baker should be the everyday second baseman.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Anthony Rendon, your table in Peoria is waiting.

spongeworthy was clearly making a funny you weirdos

 

erik, sulley isn't your friend

[Hawk4Hall]

Well...gotta shake this one off. Bad start but the good news is there are 161 games left.

wow, dude, you're a real piece of work

 

[expletive] you

 

But you're the centerpiece of the cosmic conspiracy to punish Chicago sports fans. I think it's pretty selfish of you to continue punishing us when the obvious solution is in place.

 

Maybe not selfish, but at the very least it shows a lack of bravery, and maybe even indicates some cowardice.

yes. It's one day. And you don't change your projection about the team for one day.

 

But that doesn't mean every time you fall back a game, your chances don't lower a little.

Damn you and your math facts!

 

HE'S A WITCH! BURN HIM!!

if he'd have made a funny joke regarding me committing suicide, then i could get into it. but it was just creepy.

 

and spongy isn't your friend, spaz

[Soul]

Theriot: 0-4.

[Little Slide Rooter]

Anyone made a football joke yet?

 

He did give up a touchdown sans the extra point.

Right, I understand. I just don't feel the need to get that worked up about it after one game. Especially since I don't think we are beating anyone all that good this year anyways. Would love to be wrong though.

[SpongeWorthy]

Z can take some comfort knowing his ERA is half of Shark's.

trade this guy to the nfl

Could we sell his rights?

 

The Bears do need some WR help...maybe it could be a win win for both teams...
