    I don't love it. I'm tired of it. I'm just emotionally dependent on it. Man, I thought you were more zen than me.
  2. Sammy Sofa
    Yeah, they really talked too much. ... What?

    It would have been nice had the Cubs put up any kind of legit effort though. But they didn't. And this is what happened. It is what it is. The Cubs are getting into the playoffs much more often now than in their last 60 years. It gives them a better chance to go all the way, but it also drastically increases the odds of things like this happening. I'll take that so long as they keep putting a competitive team out there. Eventually, you'll punch through. You definitely have a lot more faith in this franchise than I do. Although obviously not a perfect team, how much better of a team/season can a team have and still completely fall flat on their collective faces? Who knows? A team less good than this one could win it all. That's the nature of baseball. There's no set model to win the WS.

    Getting blown out every game. Sorry, my "no, it's not" wasn't in response to you. It was to someone suggesting the team should be blown up.
  5. Sammy Sofa
    Exactly. Anyone saying this team needs to be blown up is just being ridiculous. They're right back in it as is and arguably significantly better with just 1 or 2 tweeks.

    How do you build a team around "not choking?"

    Good for the Dodgers. They showed up to play and took advantage of the opportunities given to them. You gotta earn it at each level, and they earned this one. See you next February, Cubs. It's a sad end, but it was a hell of a ride this season, and easily the one I've enjoyed the most in my 25 years as a Cubs fan.
  9. Sammy Sofa
    Eh. It's baseball. It is what it is. That's why we love it.

    Despite the anti-climactic ending, I really enjoyed this season. I can't wait until next year.

    omgomgomgomg you got burgers???? I had sorrow Sliders tonight. Holy isht, a run. Holy isht, I've got the runs.

    I'd argue that Aramis completely shutting down is FAR more crippling than Sori's struggles.
  13. Sammy Sofa
    That's how I feel about the entire playoffs. Almost, I didn't quite manage to remove all emotional investment, but I came pretty close and I'm just a little annoyed instead of outright depressed. Yeah. I went into this excited but apprehensive until they could show me that this team could win at least a game in the postseason. Getting swept is ironically easier for to deal with since I looked at this so guardedly. Is "guardedly" even a word?
  14. Sammy Sofa
    Crush it.

    I've got a a weirdly optimistic vibe about this game and the rest of the series after dreading going into the first two. I hope I'm psychic.
  16. Sammy Sofa
    I don't know.

    Zambrano looked great to me until we decided catching the ball was no longer a priority. To me he did well, it was the rest of the infield that let him down. Pretty hard to pitch like an all-star after an all-time crapfest like that. I got home after the 2nd inning shindig last night and hearing the score I fully assumed it was Z's fault. Sorry, Z.

    2003 and 2004 felt like death. With both seasons, I was going nuts waiting for news and updates by the time catchers and pitchers reported for the next go-around. This season certainly isn't going to change that for me.

    Soriano IS the Legend of the Hidden Temple.
  20. Sammy Sofa
    Ironic.

    I think this makes more sense than those who are claiming this team isn't motivated enough or they don't care. Agreed. I think the claims they look like they don't care or "asleep" out there don't make any sense. They look too stressed and almost oddly terrified of the spot their in.

    !!!!! .....

    We're one of the biggest markets in baseball. Just seems to me it's a given the press is involved. Of course, but specifically criticizing the players through the press when you're the manager strikes me as pointless. If you have something to say to the player, say it to the player. Playing the press game just seems redundant.

    I didn't watch Game 3 last year. Just monitor it on the internet and flip it on if something good might be happening. Haha, you do this too? For last year's game 3 I was at a wedding in Ohio and was able to mostly ignore it and get plastered thanks to a fancy-shamncy open bar. The only downside was having to be all suited up in freakish temperatures pushing 100 degrees.

    This isn't Lou "yelling at the players." This is Lou stammering and babbling to the press. Going off on the players TO the players themselves is one thing, but this is just silly.
