    just because lee, ramirez and soriano forgot to show up during the playoffs, you want to TRADE them?! talk about knee-jerk reaction there. who do you have that will fill those voids? torii hunter? jim edmonds?

    i'm not as depressed as i was in '03. the cubs have some good, young talent coming from the minors who will make an impact next year. soto, pie, hill, marmol...good guys to cheer for. the cubs really do need a GM who values the power of a walk and a hitter who can take pitches. it'll be interesting to see what happens at the GM position during the off-season. hendry was signed for one season, correct?

    How about the Mets last week? if i knew this week that the cubs were going to play like the mets did last week, i would've been happier if they didn't make the playoffs.

    i've never seem a team crap the bed like this one. the offense left their bats at home (excluding SOTO, of course). grounded into 4 double plays this evening...millions left of base...trillions of strikeouts. just absolutely pathetic on all counts. i've seen the cubs suck before, but i had no idea they would suck this much especially in the playoffs. i know this team had their faults coming into this series, but i'm just dumbfounded by all of this. no fight whatsoever.

    being a cubs fan and living in new york, one of the first (if not THE first) question i get asked about the cubs is "what happened with bartman?" it's like i hang with the dude every day and eat bagels for breakfast with him. did people go up to red sox fans before 2004 and ask them "SO WHAT'S THE DEAL WITH BUCKNER?!" i don't get it. i never had a mental image of red sox fans sticking a buckner doll with needles or camping out in front of his house trying to kill him. why do people think we're like this? didn't the newspapers leak his home address and what not way back when? what a mess that was.

    i'll be making some homemade mac and cheese before saturday's game. i got it off the front page of yahoo! a few days ago. if you're familiar with yahoo!, you know what i'm talking about. with that said, please win saturday and sunday. there's no better feeling to have than butterflies in the stomach on your 25th birthday when the cubs and dbacks are battling it out in game 5 at arizona. something i have been looking forward to for years now...a cubs playoff win on my birthday. for that to happen, though, these goofballs need to win this weekend. in the words of captain jean-luc picard of the USS enterprise... make it so.

    too many first-pitch swings by the cubs which resulted into outs, which has been the mantra of the cubs since i was a wee lad. i knew after the 6th or so that the cubs were not going to pull out a win by the at-bats they were showing. webb was good, not great. zambrano impressed me and lou's call to pull him was correct. cubs could've had koufax in his prime pitching last night and they still would have lost with the lack of plate discipline they showed. cubs need to take more pitches tonight and lilly has to shut down the dbacks. commen sense, eh? of course. go cubs.

    i'll get home from school during the late innings of the cubs game, so if they win and the brewers lose, it is an excuse for me to drink johnny walker black. go cubs!

    he couldn't grasp the reality of his suckiness and released his inner anger on reporters. it was a disgusting sight to see, this suckiness of his. i thought i was done watching it back in '99 or so, but here it is again. his suckiness is like a forever pimple...it will never go away.

    i have 2 bleacher tickets for sale for the labor day game vs. the dodgers. i am selling them for face value + the tax i paid on them. the total would be $75 + shipping from brooklyn, ny (UPS overnight or USPS priority mail w/signature confirmation). i know my post count is a little on the low side next to others on this site, but i'm a good person and one of your own bought tickets for me last season via nsbb. if i don't have any takers for this, they are going on ebay sometime this weekend. i rather sell them to someone here than on ebay, so there you go. mods, if this is in the wrong area, feel free to move. EDIT: spelling mistakes. too early in the morning.

    wasn't ohman the player who almost brought the cubs to an arbitration hearing a few years back over a really small amount...like 20K?

    Konerko has to be the slowest man in baseball, if not the world. I'd like you to meet Sal Fasano. scott servais says hello.

    martin was also known for dropping the "n-bomb" on reggie without hesitation. although he was one of the biggest a-holes in the game, reggie did not deserve to be called that for any reason. for all the stupidity revolving around the tussle yesterday between z and barrett, at least (as far as we know) no ethnic slurs were being thrown around. p.s. i was telling my girlfriend about the martin/reggie fights in bed this morning. funny how it shows up on this messageboard, too. :)

    If we just had an average BP we would be one of the better teams in the NL. that is what is killing me about all of this.

    if only we had a better bullpen. if that were to be the case, i wouldn't mind watching this team or, in my case, listen. after these types of games, which seem to be happening more and more frequently, i question myself on why i wasted 3 or so hours listening to cubs baseball.

    with michael barrett as the lead runner. nice decision guys exactly. barrett isn't know for having wheels.

    making the last out of an inning at 3rd base...especially on a steal attempt. WTF cubs?!

    guiterrez wasn't that good to begin with. his 2000 stats for OBP and SLG are about as fluky as you can get compared to his career numbers.
