  1. This series has proven at least one thing to me. There is no god. At least no loving god. Sure there is. He loves the Padres, and the Giants, and the Braves, and the Marlins, and the Diamondbacks, and the Dodgers. I had a Cardinal fan friend try to tell me he understood how I felt. His frame of reference: Getting swept in the '04 World Series and how nervous he was during their pennant-clinching win in Game 7 of the 2006 NLCS. I stared at him incredulously. LOL. St. Louis fans can not possibly know anything about this. Jeff Weaver's performance in the 2006 World Series. End of story. That one game is more luck than the Cubs have caught in every postseason game they've played in the last hundred years put together.
  2. Mizzou game + rum is doing the trick for me it seems. Yeah, unfortunately my school is never on TV and is already done smoking their opponent today. Maybe I'll pop into my Coors Lights...
  3. Oh yeah, we'll keep coming back. I love baseball too much. Even if I could somehow give up the Cubs, I'd want to follow the sport anyway.
  4. And now Fontenot is hurt. Someone please make it so I don't care about baseball anymore.
  5. Seriously, dink and dunk hits all over the place. We don't have any of them. The playoffs are a load of BS.
  6. The playoffs are a joke. 97 freaking wins, far and away the best team in the league, and we play two bad games and we're all but done. Screw that.
  7. When 2 runs score with 3 outs having already been made, yes, we're going to get pissed at the umps. Get pissed at the crap offense, not the umps. There was no concrete evidence that the tag was applied before he got to the bag. Meanwhile, Edmonds and Derosa with worm killers in the infield. This team is choking, period! Well the ball beat him. The Cubs continue to be the only team in the majors that doesn't consistently get that call. And he was out. The thing that sucks about this is that no one outside of us will remember how good this team was for six months if we lose this game or series. They'll just remember the crappy October games You don't know that though. You only know the Cubs get bad calls because you watch all the Cubs games. I'm sure if you watched 162 Royals games, you could say the same thing that they're the only team in baseball that doesn't get calls to go their way either. You are right about that, and yes, sample size, but teams that play us sure seem to get that call a lot when it's unwarranted. Most of this is hollow whining though.
  8. I hate Ronny Cedeno, but he needs to be our SS next year. Ryan Theriot is just plain not good at anything except hitting singles. And that is not good enough.

  10. When 2 runs score with 3 outs having already been made, yes, we're going to get pissed at the umps.
  11. Seriously, the game of baseball must not like us. I don't know how else to explain it. Ludicrous that this crap keeps happening
  12. And the umps handed LA 2 runs. Wow.
  13. Get a double play? What the hell??? Dick is the best announcer in the booth tonight.
  14. Darling completely ignored the video and decided that Aramis tagged his shoulder. What baloney. I love when announcers fail to use the tools they have.
  15. He was out. That's bull [expletive].
  16. I emailed the Cubs on this fact and they have yet to respond. They should have done something. Rally towels are impossibly stupid.
  17. Early-inning scoring opportunities that go unused have not been a good omen. It really sounded like Stockton said "the Ducks" and not Cubs...am I alone?
  18. He came in to the Game 2 thread and talked about how Zambrano wasn't really that good and would probably break down any day and some other stuff. Normally it wouldn't have been a big deal, but the fact that he brought it up from basically nowhere and did it WHERE he did was a death sentence for their posting career.
  19. Ron Darling just said "4 RBIs apeach". The fun continues.
  20. 31-0 Cardinals. First shutout of an opponent since 2000. Man, this winning thing feels great.
  21. When does TNT coverage start, since it's pretty clear this game isn't ending before 10?
  22. Ball State has shaped right back up with a 21-point second half while allowing no points still. BSU 24, Toledo 0 with about eight minutes to go. Cardinals will go 6-0 for the first time since 1965 and will almost certainly break into the polls for the first time ever. :D
  23. Didn't decide to go to the game?
  24. I'd be perfectly fine with the Brewers making it. Whether the Cubs win or lose I want them to win their series.
