Too painful to watch anymore.

[Wild_Cubs04]

I have decided that it is too painful to watch the Cubs play. I refuse to watch/listen to them for the rest of the Season. Do they deserve to have the ratings of their Faithful Following anymore if they play the way they have this year? IMO, no.

 

Yes I am, and always will be, a Cub fan.....but if I want to watch below the Major League level in baseball, I will gladly go support my local Rockford Riverhawks.

 

It is apparent that we should consider ourselves lucky that we are even close to being a .500 team, which, IMO, is ridiculous. With the talent we have, we should be alot better....but talent can't work alone.

 

Go 2006 Cubbies

 

P.S. Mods, maybe this is a Rant, not sure. Move please if not in the correct section.

Eh, I figure I've watched them play this way all year, might as well be there to watch them go down in flames again. They can't play too much worse than they have already. Plus, IF the young guys get to play, we'll at least get to see what the future looks like.

yeah just lower your expectations and wonder how the youngsters would have done if given a chance.

Good point, TY.

I just got this absurd mental picture of Dusty a la Elmer Fudd:

 

"Shh, we're hunting for a Wild Cawd birf... dude."

Well if thats the case then i guess you havent watched that many of the Cubs 2nd half seasons very often. Did i miss something. Were they awesome in the 90's?

 

Only thing sucks is this team is good enough to contend and they arent unlike the years in the past.

Whoever made the Titanic and Dumb and Dumber poster spoofs should do one with Dusty as Elmer Fudd. The mental picture of that is just priceless.
