    awesome job offense.

    howd the cubs score today? swinging bunt, base hit, double play thats cheaper than a base hit up the middle followed by a home run Only because Lee has been god awful lately. If he would have done anything good in that at bat it wouldn't look so cheap. He did something good. He hit the ball hard. What happens after that is luck. still that could have been a great inning, not a lucky cheap one.

    Yup. At least. In two months when we are running away with the division we will look at this week and laugh All the other NL Central teams are going to die in plane crashes and have to be replaced by their AAA affliliates? the crew is really hot right now

    SECOND INNING RALLY KILLERS Yeah come on guys we have been hitting really well this past week.

    He has some other exam later today, and he'll miss at least a start. http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=3452978 Old news, but thanks. I meant that we haven't heard his MRI results.. It worries me that we still haven't heard anything. It's just like they did with Prior and Wood. Lie and prevent telling the truth.

    Thankfully Derrek couldn't elevate his hard hit ball.

    While I am in no way, or do I support fair weather fandom, I can understand it in this case. Its a team that came into existnce 10 short years ago, and aside from sighing a few washed up big names such as Wade Boggs, Jose Canseco and Fred McGriff, to try and fill the seats, they never relly tried to put a real team together, meanwhile, the team that came into existance the same year won a World Series almost got to another. I go to as many Royals games as I can. It is major league baseball. The Royals have been around since the '60s. Im asuming you grew up around them, maybe witnessed George Bret, Bret Saberhagen, Bo Jackson, and to a lesser extent Kevin Seitzer. Most Rays fans are older than the team. All they've had to this point is Aubrey Huff and broken down old Rocco Baldelli. Those that were true baseball fans must have had a team when The Devil Rays came around, somthey werent really going to switch over just because some new team sprang into existance. it takes time to build a fan base. You assumed wrong. I grew up in Peoria, Illinois. I love baseball, I made the drive to Wichita, 3 hours, monthly to watch the minor leagues.

    You gotta love all the brooms there. Too bad no one cared for this team the past few years. I don't get how you can have a big league team in town and not supoort it.

    nope. now had the crew, well nope. that's just strange that it doesn't make you feel better. ST LOUIS was swept this week. We just got swept and our lead in the standings remains roughly the same. I think you're letting the emotion of your game blur this perspective. Well yeah, but at the same time, I think like many have said the Crew is the real comp for the division. This sweep with theirs has brought them right back into the race. Especially now that we have a first place team for 3 while they play the O's. I hope we are still up 3.5 on them after this week.

    Dude - seriously. Relax. Once the MRI comes back and Z is out for a while, then is it ok to get a little nervous?
  14. illiniguy
    I guess.
  15. illiniguy
    If I was managing and they stole anymore bases and they would pry have some more suspensions.
  16. illiniguy
    we are imploding
  17. illiniguy
    we should just forfeit the Marlins series and save the money of gassing up the plane. We can't win in Florida.
  18. illiniguy
    quick someone wake up aramis.
  19. illiniguy
    My daughter saw that last night and asked could we go. (Of course, one of her favorite parts of Sea World was petting the sting rays.) lord, by the time we(the Cubs) go back there she could be in her twenties.

    Steve Irwin would argue that being cool, were he still here.
  21. illiniguy
    3.5
  22. illiniguy
    What exactly does Fontenot bring to the team? Other than a kick ass mullet?
  23. illiniguy
    3rd inning! I know, but I don't have that good feeling about the team right now.
  24. illiniguy
    sigh. well it took until june, but I think we are gonna lose three in a row.
  25. illiniguy
