    I love the perspective given by this thread. Not so much the Steve Stone nude pic.

    Ok, I'm watching on Gamecast (keeps me from breaking things during a losing streak). How did Lilly get tossed when he's not playing?

    Is the season back on again now? Does Milton still suck?
  4. bcl412
    Wasn't he signed to replace a traded Khabi but that never actually happened?

    I can't wait until Iowa beats the crap out of UNI in football. It will probably be my next positive sporting event experience that actually will mean something

    I don't know if this series is over yet. This team has fought back plenty in the playoffs. I wouldn't be surprised if they took it to at least game 6 or 7.

    It probably has something to do with the fact that he's a good manager. Have some perspective, think about how the Cubs did the season before Lou got here, look at what he did the 2 full seasons he was here, think of all the attributes about this ballclub that immediately changed when he came aboard. Then think of all the injuries and turmoil we've had this year. No one in their right mind would consider all that, and then fire a manager 25% into the season when his team is above .500 Well, the 2007 team had a lot more talent than the 2006 team. I'd say that had more to do with the increase in wins, rather than Lou being on the bench. I don't see how anyone can see Lou changing the philosophical approach of this teams offense and say that, that didn't have anything to do with it. I don't like the way Lou handles a lot of things but he helped change the team from a free swinging team to a team who prides themselves in taking pitches.

    Not to mention the bad performances have come against some decent pitchers and two of the games were played at PetCo. What does playing at Petco have to do with anything? The Padres sure seem fine scoring runs there. You don't score runs by just hitting home runs. When you score three runs in five games, that's pretty awful. I'm simply pointing out that the Cubs are in a slump and that there could possibly be certain factors contributing to that slump, say good pitching and playing in a pitcher's park. Maybe once those factors go away so does the slump. Point is, this mass panic is worthless until it becomes a continuing trend.

    Yeah thats kinda what I said about. I really wonder what about last year has caused so many fans to feel this way (you aren't the only person I've heard that from...I've read that on this board quite a bit this year and a lot of my friends offline have felt the same feeling). Is it because we realized that living and dying for 162 games just to be swept in a span of 4 days is just not worth it? Or is it because that year just really killed our spirit forever? I think it's because we've tasted regular season success and it doesn't mean much at this point. We want to win in the playoffs now. We've kind of become spoiled. If the team sucks this year and misses the playoffs I'm sure I'll be living and dying with every pitch again next year.

    I love when people pretend that the playoff's aren't a crapshoot.
  12. bcl412
    I don't think we'll make it but for some reason I just don't care that much. I'm not over the last two years yet.
  13. bcl412
    WOW, 4 consecutive shutouts IN A ROW ??? I wonder what those game threads were like.
  14. bcl412
    maybe they can send a message by firing a smaller piece of the organization? someone like roast maybe? Maybe they can set on fire a small piece of the organization. Say, Ron Santo's toupee maybe.
  15. bcl412
    They play fairly well at home.
  16. bcl412
    Hey Cubs. You can break out of this any time now.
  17. bcl412
    Hey, here comes the offense.
  18. bcl412
    I definitely see where you're coming from. I guess I'm just more concerned than you are. Like I said, the offense has been like this to various degrees since last season in my opinion. Just starting to get really frustrated with them, is all. I would like to see some better players, but who's to say Hendry isn't trying to get some. I just don't get the knee jerk reactions to fire coach's (I've done it myself) especially less than a year remove from having one of the best records in baseball. Something that had a lot to do with philosophies instituted by said coach's.

    I don't see how either of those thing will change how the team is playing right now. Doing nothing isn't working either. If you can explain how randomly firing a manager or firing the hitting coach is going to make them play better be my guest. I don't think it's "random". I think there's pretty valid reasons to make those changes right now, wouldn't you agree? I mean obviously firing someone has nothing to do with a teams talent on the field, but you have to do something. This team needs to wake up. Or they are in a slump. Something that happens in baseball over a 162 game season. Especially when your best hitter is injured.

    What am I going to do until football starts?
  23. bcl412
    What the hell has happened to this team? The minute they leave Wrigley they don't score at all. I know Aramis' injury has something to do with it but even the damn Padres can score more than 2 runs in a game.
  24. bcl412
    I ended up missing this one. I hate my life.
  25. bcl412
    So, how many times does this crappy former Cub get big hits against us?
