[Roast]

Congrats, you swept the fish. Too bad you couldnt do that in 03, losers.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

We still suck.

 

I like winning, bet they can't do it again.

[Sparkle]

This game cannot start soon enough. I am in Real Baseball withdrawal and I can only imagine if they didn't have the rainout and we had to wait until Friday.

 

Stupid Cubs. Win!!!

[ctcf]

This team makes the 1962 Mets look like World Champs.

Go CUBS !!

Edited July 13, 2005 by Fred Hornkohl

[badger1679666666]

With the Lefty, Here's the lineup I'm guessing:

 

Hairston ®

Walker (L)

Lee ®

Ramirez ®

Barrett ®

Burnitz (L)

Murton ®

Perez ® (since cedeno will never play)

Prior ®

[USSoccer]

as long as they keep 1-6 in the order the same, I'm happy.

Go CUBS !!

 

Aren't they undefeated on days you didn't post stats? :wink: :P :lol:

[WindyCity]

The Cubs are playing about .200 ball in games that I attend in person regardless of day, time, or venue.... Seriously.

 

.....anyway, you guessed it -- I will be in attendance for this game. Sorry folks -- the winning streak stops here.

 

I also have tickets to another 9 games in the second half, so I am single-handedly taking the Cubs out of Wild Card contention.

 

 

 

 

 

 

(hopefully, all this negativity continues to work in reverse folks!)

[Omar]

Days off suck. Im bored as hell today.

[Brian]

Days off suck. Im bored as hell today.

 

Yep, I'm even more anxious for tomorrow since it starts the 5 days of free MLB Extra Innings.

 

5 straight days of watching baseball all day! 8)

It's back? I thought they only did that in the beginning of the season. I hope they do it to mine too. I have DishNetwork. I want to watch the Red sox/Yankees games.

[Brian]

I know DirecTV has it free for those days.

 

Yanks/RedSox will be on Fox on Saturday and ESPN on Sunday.

Yea but the game Clement is pitching (against Randy Johnson) will be on Friday... A game not on ESPN nor Fox.

Last Thursdays doubleheader loss to Atlanta for their 8th in a row....ugh
