''Lou's going to keep his job. We're going to go to the playoffs. You can mark the day I said it, today.''

 

 

If they don't, we know it won't be due to a lack of his effort.

[Derwood]

pretty risky thing to say for a guy with a stress fracture

Bless his heart, he means well.

 

But I'm wishing Dempster would have pulled him aside and talked to him about making bold predictions.

[Old Style]

I love Byrd's attitude, but he's obviously way off on this one.

I don't know about way off. Lou is going to keep his job, and you can mark down today as the day he said what he said. 2 out of 3 ain't bad.

[bhogg]

he's as full of [expletive] as a thanksgiving turkey, but I'm glad he has a positive attitude.

[Guest]

Any chance I can get the lottery numbers for tonight?

 

But honestly, I just hate it when a psychic ruins the surprise.

[UMFan83]

Obviously it doesn't make me think we can make the playoffs. But it's good to see there is definitely still a good deal of confidence in that clubhouse.

[Sammy Sofa]

Or maybe Byrd is a terrifying madman and his delusional insanity is tearing the clubhouse apart.

[Garwilly]

Your Thanksgiving sounds terrible.

Oh man...this had me laughing.

LOL reminds me of the Happy Gilmore line, "I eat [expletive] like you for breakfast."

[DiamondMind]

I love Marlon Byrd in the gayest way possible. Wait, that didn't come out right.

[erik316wttn]

Erik guarantees a drug arrest for Mr. Byrd sometime soon.

wanna put money on it

[RedFlash]

The force is strong with this one.

 

 

Unfortunately, he hasn't been a Cub long enough, so he still has optimism. Good for him.

I love Marlon, I really do, but I don't see this as much more than posturing. After all, what is he supposed to say? "We suck and we're not going anywhere"?

 

If he guarantees a playoff berth and is completely serious he's on something more powerful than Ozzy Osbourn could have ever dreamed of.

[cubbieblue12]

Marlon Byrd is my favorite Cub.

[wvcbxl]

We're going to go to the playoffs.

 

Note the absense of time-specific information.

As in what year.

:wink:

Come to think of it, he doesn't say anything about actually participating in the playoffs...... just being there.
