Thanks, Fred. You're like the Tom Skilling of the NSBB game threads. We might be whining about the 114th consecutive day of dry 100+ heat, but you're there to remind us that there is always a slight chance of rain. Well done, bud! Next year IS the year.

That's three!!! =D> =D> =D>

Done. [-(

Go Fred! Go Cubs! Go Meat!

Well, the most excitement I can muster is seeing a person having to start two game threads in a row... even if the real starters don't show up and Fred fills in. Go Fred. Go Cubs.

Go Cubs. Wee.

Totally off topic, but I just noticed Harry's picture on gameday.

We've had what, 102 years of waiting on the best draft pick... in other words, we're always waiting on the next big superstar from the minors or we get all excited about the once really good guy. You see how that works out. And you know what? Today we get to watch baseball. A team we love. A team we couldn't turn on if we tried. Heck, let's enjoy it now for what it is.

You also said mythical, so I think you're covered. 9 games out. Game thread up before midnight. Let's win 3.

Cubs have me caring again. I actually know when they play tomorrow! Let's go Cubbies!

What do you mean IF the CUBS lose tonight ??? CUBS are 0-6 when they've won their last 2 game(s) in a row Go CUBS !! :wink: =D> Go Cubs!!

Yeah, the W flag definitely needs to fly upside down.

Get on those rally caps!

How in the heck are we only 12.5 games out of first?

Let's play two.
