[rickrolled]

So, you lost 3 of 4 to the D'Backs, eh? Way to go morons.

 

Win, idiots.

[Notorious]

All right let's turn this ship around!!! Save us Matt Lawton!

[LoneStarCubFan]

No. Sense. Of. Urgency.

[E.J.]

No. Sense. Of. Urgency.

 

They're just coasting through until September cause that's when Baker's teams make their big runs. :roll:

[OldHappyCubFan]

Win you bums!

 

 

EARN THE MONEY YOUR BEING PAID!

[Brian]

Z is going deep this game, as in innings pitched and as in he is going to hit a home run.

[Omar]

Anyone else having a boring offday? God I cannot wait until tomorrow.. (aside from Raffy and Vance news)

[badger1679666666]

WIN. And that's an order.

 

Your orders don't seem to work much.

 

:(

[Brian]

oooo start Holly 0-12 with 5K.... 12 AT BATS!! He knows this dude!!

[Coach C]

All right Cubbies. You got a very important road stretch here, starting in Philly, and ending in New York. Both of those teams are in the WC hunt, and given the terrible performance aganist the Diamondbacks, ya'll better get in gear and start churning out some W's.

[Roast]

Win plz.

[chicubs]

Need to start sweeping some good teams or we might as well tank the year.

Wow. So I guess you're saying pitching really does matter....

[jyoung55]

If Hollandsworth and his 0-12 starts against the Flotilla I am going to drive 9 hours to Chicago to slap Dusty in the face. He is not due, he is just a horrible everyday player.

You might want to drive to Philly instead.
