    Wow, I go out to play frisbee with a friend, not wanting to follow the Cubs game. It would've been nice to come back to us leading, or at least in the game.
  2. Ski
    Washington has 2 on with no out in the 5th, down 3-2 against the Phillies. Milledge batting.
  3. Ski
    Don't pitchers with a 4.70 ERA have that ERA for a reason?
  4. Ski
    Randy Wolf will throw a no hitter.

    The cool kids are off at the AIM chat. woooooooosh Actually, we have like 3 people.
  6. Ski
    So, a stressfree game would be nice.
  7. Ski
    Okay, I'm stupid. How do you get to the chat? I have AIM up. Actions, Chat, Buddy chat, type in name of chat room.
  8. Ski
    AIM chat up, room name is "cobsquitsucking"
  9. Ski
    Someone should set up an AIM chat, since I won't be able to watch this game.

    Yep. Also, it'd be nice if we won and Philly lost, so we can reduce our magic numbers to 18 and 13.

    I'm saying that guys usually fail because it's baseball and in most situations guys fail more than half the time. "Baseball is the only field of endeavor where a man can succeed three times out of ten and be considered a good performer." -Ted Williams.

    Although I'm deck with the game thread, I hope never to make one until next year. Go CUBS!

    They reattached the fingers, you know. It's not like a table saw left them all mangled.

    CUBS are 48-3 when they score 7 runs or more. Games like last night just don't happen that often. Exactly. It was one of those games. IT HAPPENS. It certainly wasn't bothering me during school today.

    CU- I mean, METS WIN!

    Surprise, surprise...Cubs still have a 99.5% chance of making the playoffs. http://www.baseballprospectus.com/statistics/ps_odds.php From now on I'm on "panic patrol" until people calm down.

    This is a post I made in the reassurance thread: I know some people are panicking (unless that panic has worn off) so I'll try my best to reassure everyone. Going into yesterday's game, Cubs still had a 99.8 percent chance of making the playoffs. BP postseason odds haven't updated yet, but I doubt it dropped much, if at all. Also, please don't assume that just because we're on a four game skid means we're going to go 1-22 (exaggeration) for the rest of the season. Every game is a new game. We've been facing good pitching, and a lot of things went wrong in the Backe game. The offense showed signs of waking up last night, and we have our ace going tonight. I expect the offense to put up another good showing, and Dempster to pitch well. Cubs will win 6-1. Remember that it would take both a great collase by the Cubs and a couple great runs by the Brewers and Phillies to keep the Cubs out of October. So let's just relax, okay?

    I really don't want to have a rainout with this losing streak still going on. Just win this game, and I'll be happy.

    Right arm soreness was exactly what I was thinking. Definitely not panic time.
  21. Ski
    I agree. Highly. This is why I'm not worried.
  22. Ski
    How long have you been a Cubs fan? 5 years.
  23. Ski
    Cubs will win tomorrow. Book it. In fact, I predict a cruise through blowout game with absolutely no stress, that's how confident I am.
  24. Ski
    Geez, calm down until we know if something major is wrong. Also, I'm a big Cubs fan, but I don't let it rule my life. I have more important things to worry about than a game that doesn't affect me in any way.
  25. Ski
    Thank you. I just don't want people to use the slippery slope fallacy, where if things goes tough for 4 games, we are going to finish 4-20. This team has turned it around before, no reason to believe it won't happen again, and better it happen now then later in september or october.
