Replace the "she" with "Cubs" and this sums up my feelings. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NVm3SmyMkFU

you're damn right we do, Harden throws 5 shutout with 110 pitches thrown. Marshall throws the sixth and seventh, scoreless. Marmol and Wood FTW!

Not only am I willing to throw them under, I'm driving. You got a co-pilot for you right here.

If you value your sanity, you'd rethink taking the Cubs as one of your teams. They find new and interesting ways to rip your heart out every single year. I honestly wish I was born a math nerd or something, at least that way I wouldn't have to deal with the annual bout of depression brought on by bleeding Cubbie blue. And no, that's not a play off my screen name. It's just true. No, then you become like me and my math teacher. East Coaster's who just can't pick a winning team anywhere.

teacher's workday? Hit the nail on the head, 2 parent teacher conference days so they get a work day and I don't show up on 0 hours of sleep.

I will not sleep well tonight. But at least I don't have school!

Yes. Please no, no no no no no no no!!!!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Why not? :exploding head: he pitched good today, but let's face it. Dempster has been the better pitcher all year. There is no reason to put an entire season on the line and make a pitching decision based on one game instead of one year. Dempster has a history of coming out of the pen, Z doesn't. Start Z and use Dempster out of the pen if it gets ugly. Come on Raisin, throughout the entire year Dempster has started and has done a suburb job doing it. The Blue koolaid Z love has to stop, his era this year almost hit 4. He is not the same pitcher he once was and instead Dempster has become awesome so we start Zambrano? Blue koolaid Z love? Yes the senseless love of someone who has far underperformed.

I can't go to school on Monday and risk my old middle school history teacher seeing me in the parking lot. I can't do it.

me gusta your optimism. I've been really trying to watch but after Fuku's mishap in the potential rally, I'm here on the PC.

Take it fwiw, on my baseball game on road to the show, my pitcher threw eight shutout innings and Z will follow suit.

Here's how I look at it: The Cubs lost the first game of the season this year. It sucked. Then they won 3 of the next 4. Then they hit the road and won 3 of 4. Then they won 3 of the next 4. They've won 3 out of 4 games lots of times this year. Course the Dodgers have won 2 of 4 lots of times too, I bet. But the point is, no one wants to hear objective analysis right now. They want to bitch and whine with other people who feel as bad as they do, and maybe receive a little hope if it's available from anyone. Going around showing off how uninvested you are in the team may make you feel all superior, but it's probably not helpful to very many people, just in case you were thinking it was. Can people go four posts in this thread without telling me what my emotions are? I know how I feel, and so far it's not what you people keep trying to ascribe to me. This is the Cubs message board. We talk about the Cubs. Statistical analysis has a lot to do with our talk about the Cubs. Until I see a sign that says "no statistical analysis when it looks bad for the Cubs," I'm going to continue to post statistical analysis about the Cubs, good or bad. Still waiting for you to post the statistic I asked for Refresh my memory. Which? I believe that would be what is the all time record of teams losing game 1 of a division series.

Yes, this is the real problem.

Maybe, I am scared more so than if Lilly was pitching. Simply because Lilly is not going to self implode under the pressure. Um, yeah. http://www.chicagotribune.com/media/photo/2007-10/33009601.jpg Saw it coming a mile away, that was him reacting to a pitch he just made, not the situation in regards to the result of the previous game.

That right now has the potential of being the dumbest thing that I have ever heard and I have listened to my fair share of Hawk Harrelson. Unfortunately, you can put your comment on the board as he would say. It's also perfectly accurate. If you think that's accurate, then the statement wasn't just stupid, obviously the person typing it is stupid as well. I know we are all pissed off, so am I. But that was totally uncalled for. You are going to tell me that their was some wise thinking behind his comments? This guy came into the game thread and tried to rile people up and is continuing it now. Either he is a disturber or he is not very smart. Is it so hard to believe that maybe an intelligent person is just infuriated over horrible baseball and is simply overreacting. I'm not agreeing with a thing he said but what he posts late at night on a message board after watching his favorite team perform horribly in game one of the playoffs should not and can not determine a man's intelligence.

Dempster had no command of his fastball and Manny Ramirez hit one of the filthiest benders I've ever seen. Oh and the offense was sleeping. Someone get them some coffee.

They are both to blame.

I guess the food sucked. I know we did.

Damnit I was hoping we would do it.
