A proven playoff hitter like Alex Gonzalez would have been nice... Too bad we could't have had the hitter Alex Gonzalez without the fielder Alex Gonzalez.

2009 Cubs: The Start of a Second Century of Futility.

Nice to see them here instead of "other games of interest. \:D/ They should be included in this week's Pick'em contest. I believe that's based on the AP poll, not the USA Today.

First time in school history. They just beat out Wisconsin by one point for #25.

I am actually sad that it is highly probable that I will never see another 97 win Cubs team as long as I live. I don't care if I ever see another 97-win regular season. I do care if I ever see an 11-win postseason.

Odds I'm still a Cubs fan at that point: 100% -
No, Alfonzo, we won't be patient. We've been patient for years and years and years. No more.
-
I'm not even sure it takes a month. I'm letting the frustration out tonight, and tomorrow life goes on.
-
Somehow I doubt many fans are in the mood to think of great moments of 2008 right now.
-
Not with six years remaining on his contract. The only way to get rid of him would probably be to hire Jeff Gilooly to take out his knee.
-
Hopefully the adult bears can do what the baby bears couldn't.
-
Embarrassing doesn't go far enough. It's completely unforgiveable. ABSOLUTELY NO excuse for losing this series.

Chris hasn't posted since July 8 and hasn't been logged in at all since Aug. 25. This is the second time he's been away for an extended time within the past year. The previous time I believe it was due to family and/or work issues. I'm not sure about this time. I agree we need to know if he wants to stay in the league and, ir so, if he's committed to keeping up with it.

The Cubs are back to their misinformation ways.
NCCubFan replied to Mephistopheles's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Hell without his permission they cant tell us anyways can they? No they can't. And the article mentioned that he didn't want to comment on it, so I don't think it's much of a stretch to think he didn't give permission. -
He actually signed a contract with the Giants a week or so ago. A one-day contract so he could retire as a Giant. That happens all the time in football, but I haven't heard of that very often in baseball.

Thanks for trading him to me in Roadkill. :D
-
The last two nights have shown me the error of my ways. Never again will I say that you don't exist. I believe, I believe, I believe! Now, PLEASE shine favorably upon my beloved Cubbies. Sincerely, Desperate, long-suffering Cubs fan

10th place, a heck of a lot closer to first than last. Not bad at all. -
I'm the one maverick who voted yes so far, but I think the use of the word "content" may be misleading; perhaps "satisfied" would be a better word. I said yes because even a World Series loss would still be the most successful season in my entire lifetime. However, if they make the Series and lose this year, then I'd consider nothing short of a World Series win acceptable for next year.
-
I don't know about all the other years, but they did last year.
-
My second straight loss (I wasn't expecting much this week because I had too many starters out for bye weeks). I'll just follow official NSBB policy: Blame it on CT. :D
-
Actually there are only five people still standing.
-
I'm up 38 but today's Tigers-White Sox game will count (Tootielicious has Granderson and Dye, I have no one). The potential Twins-White Sox game tomorrow will also count if necessary (Tootielicious has Morneau and Dye, I have no one). Gavin Floyd's start won't count for Tootielicious. I didn't even think of those games counting. They don't count in the Yahoo leagues I'm in.

Week 4: Eagles at Bears, 7:15 central on NBC
NCCubFan replied to jersey cubs fan's topic in Other Sports
That was a creative call. At that point, your best friend is the clock, so you call a play that takes as long as possible to run and still leaves the clock running after all is said and done. That play call ate another 5-10 seconds off the clock, so that by the time the Eagles got the ball back, they had maybe 2 plays to work with. Which actually turned out to be one play since the Eagles didn't get out of bounds and didn't have enough time left to spike the ball to stop the clock. I have no problem with that play. It was basically a concession that they considered taking time off the clock to be more important than getting a first down.
