you have got to be kidding me

WTF

 

Haven't you heard? All of Illinois south of I-80 has ceceded from the state and has become "East Missouri"

 

I disagree. I'm south of I-80 in Illinois, and I'm getting Cubs/Marlins.

 

You disagree that all of Illinois south of I-80 is now East Missouri? Okay, you win :lol:

 

Down here where I live, everyone thinks they live in Alabama. :roll: I'm being serious here.

[otis89]

See why Walker should start against lefties?

You just had to say that, didn't you? :wink:

[erik316wttn]

It seems like every game lately the Cubs give up a first inning run.

 

Think we can tank it bad enough to catch the Pirates?

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 10-23 when they hit an opposing batter, 50-44 when they don't

CUBS are 12-31 when the opponents steal a base, 48-36 when they don't

CUBS are 11-33 when the opponents execute a sac bunt, 48-34 when they don't

 

Go CUBS !!

[otis89]

Quit praising Neifi. He had a hot streak and hit that grand slam against the Cards. That's all he's done this year.

[otis89]

A 7-pitch inning? Sweet.

The leadoff man is on. I guarantee we won't score this inning.

I know it sucks to live down there, but don't take it out on the rest of us!

You suck, Burnitz.

[otis89]

What? Neifi walks? :shock:

Huh?

 

Just teasing you for a) living down state and b) being very negative. C'mon, the Cubs are going to win the wildcard!

[J.R.]

Good to see that the bonehead announcers have chugged their Neifi Kool-Aid for the day.

[otis89]

C'mon, the Cubs are going to win the wildcard!

 

And how long have you lived in this alternate reality where the Cubs are good?

[otis89]

The leadoff man is on. I guarantee we won't score this inning.

 

Called it.
