I think the Baseball Gods demand a sacrifice from NSB to allow the Cubs to resume winning. Someone needs to be banned, or Da Bum has to be unbanned

i think we banned another weirdo homophobe and that seemed to help last year (actually i have no idea when exactly sontensei or whatever was banned but i think it was august?)

[davell]

 

No Contreras two days in a row?

[sweetpeteman]

Montero is batting 5th...

 

 

So, fire Joe Maddon?

it was after the last giants in late august and he was flipping out because the cubs lost to madison bumgarner

Was he a homophobe? I forget what he said, I just remember he was generally a moron.

[Cubswin11]

I don't care if most guys don't like him, I want Georgie back

To be our designated smiler.

I think he needs a little more time to bake. His line between AA and AAA during his rehab assignment: .118/.200/.118, 2 BB/9 K, in 20 PA

he called us all a bunch of "maggots" and some other stuff

Joe's clearly trolling now with Montero in there and Contreras not playing again.

I bet Joe says something like 'look Willy started 34 games in a row, he's been a warrior for us. you know this is really the first time he's had a chance to rest since getting called up so we're giving him a couple of days to just breathe. he'll be back in there tomorrow'

That 2008 team was behind in the division in late July? I have no recollection of this

 

OH i See, this is about their relation to the current team

They were tied at one point, I think. Then the awesome sweep of the Brewers happened. (Still probably my favorite regular-season series)

He had the Allstar break and he's young. Montero sucks.

He's played baked for 2 seasons now.

I know we had a slim lead going into that series. My favorite is probably the 5 game set vs the Cardinals in 03 but that sweep is second best.

That 4-5....is Maddon drunk?

The last 2 games, now this......Get ejected and go have a nice dinner Joe.

[Sammy Sofa]

I blame heatstroke.

[davell]

I blame heatstroke.

 

You called it back when we got him. That he'd drink himself stupid at some point.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

Miggy has actually been hitting the ball the past few games. Willson has not.

 

also Joe is horsefeathering weird

[Cubswin11]

Obligatory lineups don't matter much, but I agree this lineup is ass. If he's going to start throwing weird lineups out I wouldn't mind seeing something like

 

Fowler CF

Russell SS

Bryant LF

Rizzo 1B

Zobrist 2B

Contreras C

Baez 3B

Heyward RF
