  1. I remember the same thing was brought up in 2006 as well. We're not the Astros, and we're definitely not the same team. What they did is rare and I don't expect the Cubs to follow suit. I hate seeing the 2005 Astros argument. If the Cubs sign Clemens in May, you may be on to something
  2. Fired? They're getting bonuses from the networks for mazimizing their potential ratings. it's not like the games are all on one network though. You think with games spread across ABC, ESPN and TNT that they could shorten up this first round just a touch. The teams are getting more days off now than they ever did in the regular season. Talk about momentum killers. ETA: The first round is scheduled to take TWO WEEKS if it goes 7 games. It's ludicrous
  3. If I remember right, that's why the Cubs are on CSN+ anyway, because the Bulls bumped them there-the Cubs were originally supposed to be on the channel the Bulls are going to be on tonight. the Cubs were supposed to be on TNT?
  4. FYI, Game is on TNT at 8/7c
  5. many thanks to the genius TV schedule makers for following a WCIU game with a CSN+ game. Oh, wait, the Bulls are on tonight, so there was no way in hell I was watching the Cubs anyways
  6. Your later statement could prove to be correct. Your former statement indicates that you are no more than 15 yrs old. The Cubs had some bad teams in the mid to late 1970s and the early 1980s. This team is worse. Much, much worse. This team may be playing horribly, but you can't possibly say that this collection of players is worse than the teams that featured Scott Servais, Jose Reyes, Scott Bullett, Tuffy Rhodes, Frank Castillo, Jim Bullinger, Mark Clark, Mel Rojas, Kevin Orie or Rey Sanchez
  7. i can't believe they still can't get this opening round right. You would think that moving to a best of 7 series would shorten the gaps between games, but no, here we are having Game 2 THREE DAYS after Game 1. Schedule makers should be fired
  8. you know how some atheists say that people turn to religion because they take comfort in being able to explain away all the unknowns in their life by pointing to "God"? I think Sulley has found his religion
  9. Couldn't that be evidence that curses can be broken? the red sox weren't cursed. babe ruth was a ballplayer, not a witch. a goat, however, is often used in black ceremonies, or so i'm told. i didn't realize that the mythical goat owner was a witch doctor
  10. Well said Wow, even the fans are getting the loser attitude. Sure the Cubs have been playing poor, but to say there is nothing they can do to win is idiotic. The only thing the Cubs are cursed with is a moron for a GM that doesn't have a clue how to assemble a team. The Cubs could get Earl Weaver to manage this team and they would still be in last place. Hendry has to go, it is too bad they let him saddle the team long term before he left. they have a team that should be winning. they're 0-5 in 1 run games and derrek lee has no home runs. weird stuff is happening. you better start believing in curses, becaue this curse is a dilly. Yay for stupid BS kneejerk reactions! Repeat after me: Curses are not real. Now, write that on the blackboard 1000 times. . http://www.simleaguebaseball.com/derwood/einstein.jpg
  11. Just got it... http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v472/DJAXXFAN/ballgame.jpg Thanks, that was clearly not a strike. The ump just wanted to go home. He knew even if the Cubs tied it, they would still end up losing.. so why try? It's figurative. Notice that the ump is not there. I didn't realize it was Pilgrim Hat Day

  13. Just got it... http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v472/DJAXXFAN/ballgame.jpg Thanks, that was clearly not a strike. i think we should play this game under protest. that is clearly not an official ball
  14. if only we had gritty, gritty grinders like Eck and Erstad
  15. Just got it... http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v472/DJAXXFAN/ballgame.jpg i suggest faxing that to the league office immediately

  17. OMG, that's friggin' hilarious. PS. can you make me the .gif if I send you the images? sorry, i don't know how to make animated gif's

  19. i have to say, not being able to watch the game (thus following the game solely in this thread) is rather amusing
