  1. Ive now changed attitudes from "Cubs deserve to lose this" to "Jose Ascanio deserves a win now"
  2. And we don't have 2005 Derrek Lee to freshen us up either though we do have 5 or 6 Neifi Perez's
  3. This team is really really really bad How they aren't at least 10 games under right now shocks me This is flashbacks to 2005, they aren't 2006 bad yet, but they are 2005 bad
  4. I'll set the stage. Its 2008. The Cubs have won 97 games. I really couldn't see anyone beating the Cubs in October
  5. I really wish they would stop letting Marmol set up blown games I mean its pretty obvious when he doesn't have his control, just take him out after the first walk
  6. Clearly the Rockies employ Neifi Perez because thats teh last time i saw that happen
  7. i really really hope we beat up on the newbie pitcher please do it for once cubs
  8. kinda sucks for gregg that he has to get 4 outs in his last 2 outings still doesn't forgive him for that horrible outing last time.
  9. i havent been following the Bears hardcore but I'm startled and horrified to see that Craig Steltz could be a starter for this team
  10. One game out of 162!? YOU TROLL I HOPE YOU DIE
  11. No sort of win tonight will make up for last night. That game was just too brutal. I don't even care, this is 2005 redux, I know I sound annoying and unnecessarily negative, but its looking more and more like its going to be a meandering .500ish team So whatever, last night killed any hope I had for this season.
  12. I say yes. He wants to be the biggest superstar on the planet. Just imagine what it could do for his legacy if he was able to turn around that decrepit franchise. Its all about ego. Its hard to see exactly what his real drive is. Some people think he comes across an egomaniac, some think he comes across as pretty humble. I think he's somewhere in the middle. I've read he pretty much still hangs around Akron with his old friends, his mom and his GF and kids. Yeah, he does a lot of commercials and gets a lot of exposure, but I dunno if he actually really wants to leave. He has a nice set up in Cleveland, and is basically king of Ohio. (Ohio sucks and I'm from there so take it with a grain of salt)
  13. Just win the game you bunch of losers
  14. This is easily one of the worst managed games by Lou Piniella, and I really need only point at the Marmol substitution after a Theriot error while Wells was cruising and has like 80 pitches
  15. they're a game over .500. I'm not saying I'm not following them, I'm just saying don't watch them they are a pain in the visual spectrum
  16. As if the point couldn't be made further THERE IS LITERALLY NO REASON TO WATCH A CUBS GAME DON'T DO IT, DON'T PUNISH YOURSELF WITH THIS
  17. Whether or not Lebron stays i think depends entirely on how they do next year. If he's happy with the progress they're making (especially if they win the championship) he'll stay. If he were a free agent at this exact moment, I'd wager that he stays as well. If they make another early exit in the East next year, theres a chance he'd leave. But would he really want to go the mess that is New York?
  18. It might be time to downgrade this season's expectation from 2004 status to 2005 status hello roller coaster .500 season and 3rd or 4th place
  19. There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that Milton is gonna own us for however long he'll be out there So we're gonna need a good outing out of Marshall again. Poor guy, he should have a guaranteed spot already in the rotation. Woot, i'm quoting myself in arrogance
  20. There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that Milton is gonna own us for however long he'll be out there So we're gonna need a good outing out of Marshall again. Poor guy, he should have a guaranteed spot already in the rotation.
  21. yeah he actually adds something to this team unlike his evil counterpart, Aaron Miles
  22. Since when is 64.7% good? And he's only up about 5% from his season/career averages which is only 1 out of 20 so he hasn't really improved that much. Relax. In the last few Orlando victories he was nailing free throws, he seems to have the typical big man "if-I -concentrate-real-hard-I-can-make-em" free throw attitude. Its a damn shame everyone in the NBA isn't an automatic 80+% at free throws anyway
