    At this point I'd wait before shelling out any cash for Cub games. This team is tanking right now and what's the point of spending hard earned cash to watch crap night after night? There's absolutely no guarantee the Cubs will pull out of it. I don't care what pythag or anyone else says. They very well might just continue to blow games all year long.

    Absolutely not. Selective means choosing the right pitch to hit regardless of the count, whereas patience means working the count - which in turn translates to two quick strikes and a third one in the dirt swung at. I wouldn't say absolutely not. They are very similar. You have to be patient in order to be selective. It's one thing if you just refuse to ever swing until you have 2 strikes, but I don't think that's what anybody really means when they talk about patience. It's the same thing. Semantics at most.

    No matter how young you are, you still may never witness a Cub World Series appearance, much less a victory. I wouldn't feel comfortable guaranteeing that there is a single person on the planet right now that will witness a Cubs WS.

    Sell for prospects. Everyone except Lee & ARam. Just blow it to hell. This is torture, watching such a heartless club.

    Well, time to bail on this bozo act and play some Oblivion. No sense ruining my entire night on this stupidity. Night.
  6. Soul
    No but at some point the Brewers will quit sucking again. When do they play the Cubs? I think its actually pretty soon. They'll get healthy against us and it will be adios muchachos, if it isn't over by the time the series begins anyway. This club is as dead as dead can be. I've never seen such a soul-less team.

    He never left. Mwahahahaah!

    Wow, not one solitary boo. It's official. The expectations borne from 2003 have gone the way of the do-do bird. Hooray for the return of being comfortable with losing!!

    Yet another Wrigley "tradition" that just makes me gag at this point. Someone save us from this loser tradition.
  10. Soul
    Fire sale. And I mean complete fire sale. We've got to get this noose off our collective neck.
  11. Soul
    Yeah, come on now we all know he's going to regress to suckitude. We hope he's not. We even pray he's not. But deep down inside, we know he's going down.
  12. Soul
    And DEATH STRIKES!!
  13. Soul
    I cringe every time a ball heads for the dirt, because you know Barrett's not going to get his body in front of the ball. It's like Russian Roulette, only with baseballs.
  14. Soul
    The first two games against the White Sox? Was that this year? Wait, I think we've had snow since then right? :wink:
  15. Soul
    And they're on the precipice of taking the lead. Nice job!!
  16. Soul
    LOL, nice throw Rammy. This one's going south. Don't they all go south? When was the last time we played well again?

    so have jorge posada and mike piazza Thanks, I was waiting for someone to bring that up. Posada's and Piazza's teams had a lot more chance of making the postseason without them than the Cubs have with Barrett. Even though those two aren't /weren't the smartest or best defensive catchers, their numbers were better than Barrett's to justify their bad defense and poor plays. Can't say the same for Barrett. I don't disagree. Many times Barrett's been entirely passable, IMHO. He's just playing like an extra special bonehead lately.
  18. Soul
    Well, I appreciate Marquis hanging tough. Very little chance he gets a hit though.
  19. Soul
    Don't complain Angel. That was a strike.
  20. Soul
    We already know Lou's saying it......on national TV. It's apparently not helping. I guess these bozo players don't feel like they have to listen.
  21. Soul
    Wow couple grounders we should have had and suddenly death approaches.
  22. Soul
    At this point this isnt on Lou. Believe me Lou is to blame for some things, but the baserunning isnt one of them. These guys are making little league mistakes. I just think we have a team of dumbasses. If he gets the credit when they win... Oh he'll definitely get the blame if they don't stop acting like 5 year olds on the basepads. But as for whether it's really his fault, that's open to question.
  23. Soul
    Lee is the only damn ballplayer on this team. How do you wear that Cub uniform, watch Lee play every day, and not realize how pathetically poor you are playing? Come on dammit, have some standards.
  24. Soul
    Double for Fonz. Vegas posts a line of 50% he gets picked off.
  25. Soul
    Comcast leading back in from commercial with Lou talking about baserunning. I think even the producers of the TV coverage are sick of this crap.
