It doesn't feel like it'd take much to completely silence the crowd in Cleveland. They have just about as much PTSD as we do with this stuff.

My anxiety sort of went down once we were down 3-1 and stayed down even last night, but is peaking today!

Geez, between you and brinoch it really is reunion week. Hey, if not now then when? I just haven't had the kind of time I used to have to be so active in message boards but man oh man is checking NSBB out taking me down memory lane!

Oh man, I haven't posted on NSBB in a LONG time but seeing this game thread is special. Never thought I'd see the day.

It sure has been a while. I have serious doubts anyone remembers me but I see a lot of familiar names. Coming back here to help level out the anxiety of waiting for game 7. Not sure why I stopped posting - internet usage in general went down. Go Cubs. Couldn't have imagined this moment back during the times when the biggest Cubs highlight was the Jake Peavy thread in transactions.

Yeah and executed too!!!

Re: Bourn - can someone tell me why he's not Juan Pierre? I don't mean that in a snarky way, I'm just trying to understand his value.

The female Green Bay fan who we can hear screaming so much makes this much worse.

I'm ready to have my mind changed, but the discussion was about the 2013 Cubs compared to the 2012 Cubs. I would certainly hope that another 12-18 months will make a difference or else the FO has been really fooling us. Actually, I think most people thought the Cubs were closer to a 75-win team last year. Hopefully they won't underproduce this year, but I would imagine there will be another sell off at the deadline which will bring the win total down again this year. What, don't care to get into the specifics where you're proven totally wrong? Keeping this at the forefront.

If you were looking for proof that some posters don't bother reading before chiming in on every single topic in the history of the universe - here's your answer.

So nothing came of that Brett Jackson move?

I lost it.

Bummer. Seemed too good to be true, I guess.

When Jim Hendry encountered a stalemate, he ate it. Is that because he's fat? If so, I get it.
