My 77-year old dad. He's the reason I have the sickness that is my Cubs addicition. He is worse than I am. Since he and my mom retired, they have spent every March in Mesa for spring training. My dad was like a giddly little schoolboy a few years ago after getting his picture taken with Billy Williams. He actually remembers the 1945 World Series. He has had cancer, heart problems, and is diabetic. Now he is slowly going blind. I want more than anything for him to see a Cubs championship before he loses his eyesight or, worse yet, his life. That's who I want the Cubs to win for.

As I read each post on this thread, I started to hit the quote button and reply with "I couldn't agree more" until I read the next one and saw that the nest person added another great comment. I just feel so lost and betrayed right now. Most of all, I feel bad for guys like Santo and my dad. They deserve a championship. Yeah, I said. I have poured my heart & soul into this team for 30 years only to be disappointed time & time again. Those guys have been through the pain a lot longer, especially my old man. If the Cubs win Game 3, they better win Games 4 & 5, too. Don't get my hopes up any more this season if you're not going to finish the deal.

Is Jesus Fukudome Kosuke's Mexican half-brother? Can he hit? -
SWING THE [expletive] BAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
Ward for Fukudome plz?
-
I'll pee in my pants if the Cubs win this game.
-
That was fair.
-
Jesus Christ. "Strike 2" was nowhere close to the plate.
-
Torre brings in a righty to face Fukudome. What does that tell you, Lou?
-
Why should we be cordial to a ---SOAPDROPPING--- Brewer fan on here talking Howry about the Cubs at this point? We should have let the Mets win. Or swept the Brewers to end the season.

I don't know how much more of this I can handle. And I'm not referring to this series.
-
He's not the only one.

Joe Torre
-
So when do pitchers & catchers report to Mesa?
-
I'd be happy if the cast-offs were limited to DeRo, Dempster, Theriot, and D-Lee. They had the tightest sphincters this series, so they simply have to go. Give Fuku another year. Embrace Soriano's eccentricity and encourage players to emulate him. Sign four guys that, in a psychological sense, most fit the Manny/Johnny Damon/Idiot psychological profile to replace DeRo, Demp, Ther, and D. Just not Manny himself. Too distracting. Bring in Bellhorn as a bench guy (or coach?). DeRo, really? You do realize he's driven in our only runs of this series, right?
-
This is all just some mean joke on Cub fans, right? The series actually starts next week.
-
Got rejected on my 2nd e-mail address, too.
-
:cry:
-
No, that money goes to Alfonso Soriano.
-
Same here. I wish I didn't care... Two more games like last night and I could probably be converted. After Loney hit the slam I sat there the rest of the game thinking, "can I do this for another year?" Ditto
-
I second that vote Where is he going to play? DeRosa can't play right. Can't because of the injury? I still take my chances. And this quote makes it sound as if Lou might as well...From the Trib: Fukudome started in right field and batted second Wednesday night but went 0-for-4 in the 7-2 loss to the Dodgers, which may cause Piniella to change his mind Thursday. "I'm not sure," he said afterward. "Let's wait until [Thursday] and see." This just hours after he said Fukudome would start every game. I say take the chance and put DeRo in RF to start the game.
-
I didn't expect a sweep, but I expected a Game 1 win.
-
I have a sick feeling in my stomach. Please let this day go by fast and let the Cubs score about 50 runs in the first inning.
-
After the 3rd out in the top of the 7th, he said that the game was heading to the 8th as they went to commercial.
