    Hopefully more so just RF, considering Fukudome sucks.

    According to ESPN the Cubs have exercised their option on Rich Harden for 2009. Idk if it's online because I got it thru my MLB Alerts on TXT messaging from ESPN.

    Or just keep your best players and see if anyone has a water cooler they don't want anymore in return for Kosuke. I wanted Fontenot in there for the last 3 months, especially the last month of the season when it was obvious Fukudome was getting benched. then all of a sudden here comes #1 to save the Cubs in the playoffs, yay!

    The Cubs sure did try to hand the other team a win. They did, three straight times.
  5. zamrambo
    Yeah I definitely only clicked it once. Apparently its my 4 cents.

    The Cubs need to man up. They obviously weren't getting many calls during this NLDS. They couldn't get anything on their own either. No team is going to hand them a win in the playoffs. They have to have the tenacity to go out there and just bury teams like they are capable of. Unfortunately we have to wait another year. But I'd love to see a new kind of theme for this team. We can stop being so 'lovable'. Who cares what other people think, true fans will still be there. We need to just look at the other team as the one things standing between us and our ultimate goal, not just another stop on the way there. This team needs to grow some balls, get some leaders, and just rape the whole league. No holding back, especially after this. /rant. Oh and I find it hilariously ironic that the Lions are starting a Manny Ramirez against the Bears.

    Clone David Ortiz?

    Big time K. Bout time, lets not give up a 2-out run now...
  10. zamrambo
    You'd think we could at least get the umps on our side....
  11. zamrambo
    Certainly depends on what was shaved.
  12. zamrambo
    I thought Maddux was expected for Game 4?

    The really stupid part is that there is only one pitcher in this series that is better than Billingsley, and we have him, but he wouldn't be available for a hypothetical Game 5 because...well, I've never quite figured out that because. the dodgers would be scared to face Z in chicago for a game 5 2 straight playoffs wins under the players belts...confidence back to their normal levels and beyond your dead wrong they wouldn't be crapping their ---SOAPDROPPING--- pants No, the Cubs would be. Billingsley pwns the living crap out of them. The one Manny homer Zambrano is guaranteed to give up would be more than enough to win the game. 17.2 innings pitched. 22 strikeouts 6 walks 3.07 ERA 1.25 WHIP That would be his career starts against the Cubs. Three games to sample from. He pitched four shutout innings of relief against us in 2007. Albeit good, those numbers aren't fantastic. It's not like he's lights out against the Cubs.

    Well, uhhhhhh, that's.....balls?
  15. zamrambo
    That tends to scratch me right where I itch as well.

    Dodger fans had a World Series to celebrate 20 years ago. Not much help to the 19-year-old Dodger fans who get leukemia, is it? Why do you hate the leukemia kids? Instead of hoping for a Cubs win, you should fly down to LA right now and start taunting a children's hospital's leukemia ward. It's the same thing. Ooooh, I want to take this a step further. In order to not sadden anyone with a life-threatening illness, winning and losing in sports should be done away with. Because god damnit, no matter what, someone's going to be happy, and someone will be sad. I vote for "funs" instead of runs in baseball. Everybody just goes out for a little exercise, they get paid in Monopoly and Life money. Oh and the score always end 0-0. because funs aren't runs obviously, so nobody ever scores. And at the end there's a showing on the jumbotron of Little House on the Prairie, just so we all get an extra life lesson. That way everyone can be happy.

    Like the fact that Fukudome must be pretty good in the sack.

    Game 3

    zamrambo replied to ragirag's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk

    Because he's batting about .235 We need to get more hits, not necessarily more homers. We've obviously relied too much on the long ball.
  19. zamrambo
    It's just a pain as a Cub fan. The regular season brings so much joy and excitement and then they just fall on their asses when they get pushed back. In fact they never even pushed LAD in the first place.

    Game 3

    zamrambo replied to ragirag's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk

    1. Soriano 2. Theriot 3. Lee 4. Ramirez 5. DeRosa 6. Soto 7. Fontenot 8. Johnson 9. Harden It's worked all year. If it ain't broke don't fix it. Fukudome is beyond broken. He shouldn't see the light of day until March 09.

    Because what they're doing is working so well. My annual salary is in the low $40k range. I really wish I made six figures and could afford a nicer car, and maybe buy a house sometime soon. Clearly, what I am doing has not been working. So it's time to try something new. Something wacky. Today, in my afternoon meeting, I am going to punch my boss in the throat and take a dump on the overhead projector. I will then hurtle my body down a flight of stairs while singing the chorus to "Shiny, Happy People" by REM. Once I hit the bottom, I will spring up and shout "TA DA!" and spread my arms wide in triumph. Maybe then my fortunes will turn. If you knew you were about to lose your job anyway, those might be perfectly reasonable things to do. The point is, they have nothing to lose at this point so they may as well start acting like it. Exactly. Why should they try harder now? They all have jobs next year with this team, except for a few. What pressure is there exactly to perform? The only ones who really look like they give a damn are Zambrano, DeRosa, and Theriot, as far as regulars go.
