    Aren't we 0fer in extra inning games this year? This is not a comforting situation.

    It's very good and says the Cubs should be leading the division. It's still quite winnable, and the Cubs could very well win it. Well, since the Stros & Crew haven't been keeping up their end of the bargain, we're still only 5 games back and in 2nd place, coming up on the end of a fairly tough May schedule-wise. I'll keep it in perspective: we're still alright, just need to start stringing a few wins together.

    No point to bashing ARam, true. Also very little point lamenting the slow, inevitable switch to more night games.

    Let's muddy the waters a bit. The Cardinals weren't for real all last year and still won it all :wink: Looking at the Crew lately, we might be able to be pretty stinky and still have meaningful games in September. Isn't that amazing? Two years in a row this division has been nothing short of brutal. What's in the water in the Midwest? I guess if there's one team that's really not coming through, it would have to be us. I mean, we are the one truly high capacity payroll franchise in the division.

    Haha, Fred and his stats... someone mail this to Aramis please! Bruce? ;) Meh, it's probably more due to the fact that he hits better at home, and more of the day games are at home. Honestly, the more night games the Cubs can play, the better by me. I hate being the only club to play during the day on a Tuesday, and missing the game because I have to do silly things like put food on my table. Day baseball during the week sucks. Good for ARam. I hope all the Cubs keep complaining. Let's get out of the damn dark ages for change.

    I couldn't care less if Z dresses down a few reporters and engages in semantics that a few fans don't like.

    Ah, good point in checking the numbers of LuGo versus Dempster. I guess Lou knew what he was doing after all. Still, I object to the number of times that Ohman has been put in to face a decent lefty, while an obvious pinch hit situation is in place. It makes a lot more sense to use him against very good LH batters who won't be pinch hit for, or at the start of an inning when two of the next three batters coming up are lefties. It doesn't look to me that Lou considers Ohman to be a strict LOOGY. On a positive note, that was a hell of a good pitch to Kent.

    There's likely another game being played here. It's called the "if it was my son's own fault then by proxy it is my fault," game. I don't think anyone truly believes his dad is responsible, it is all tongue in cheek.......in response to his pathetic actions of blaming everyone but his own son for the accident and death. I'm actually referring to something deeper. Like, what might be going on inside the father's head to make him bring these ridiculous lawsuits. Perhaps if he can win a settlement of some kind, he can feel better about himself. Many fathers would feel they didn't do a good job of raising their son if he flew off the handle the way Josh did. Obviously I could be wrong, but it's hard to come up with good reasons why such baseless suits are brought.

    I haven't heard it but admittedly I haven't been paying all that close attention. My initial understanding was it would happen last Tuesday or Wednesday, but obviously that was incorrect.

    I don't think anything can be worse than the shaft that the Mavs got last year, but yeah, apparently Lebron wasn't going to draw a foul on that play unless someone actually stabbed or sodomized him. The NBA sucks. As if the officiating isn't bad enough, the resulting flood of ridiculous excuses the commentators and analysts make for it afterwards magnifies the horror by like 10 times.

    Time to switch to documentaries. There's a good one on the Spartan 300 right now. Good night, forlorn Cubbie fans.

    WE HIT LIKE A LITTLE LEAGUE TEAM!!! AAAAAHHHHRRRRGGGHHHH! :evil: :evil:
  15. Soul
    Yeah, now the bullpen will get the loss. Happy day. Well, gonna blow games up when you strand runners @ 3rd with no outs.
  16. Soul
    Gunna get swept, and didn't need to. This team's having its June swoon in May. Sinking like the Titanic.

    Steve Stone is a very smart man. That and Jim Hendry is a complete idiot. Steve Stone is the reason we choked down the stretch in 2004. Just ask Dusty Baker and Kent Mercker. Nice to see that Stone is still in Chicago while those two are (pretty much) out of baseball completely. Stone means more to Chicago baseball than pretty much anyone other than the few Cub legends we have had on the field. That and Harry/Jack. I think that's really sad because it indicates just how bad we've been. But it's true, no matter what his detractors try to say.

    I think they call it 'Cubbie swagger' The organization has for ages valued physical tools and hollow statistics over quantifiable skills, therefore they bring in players from other clubs who fit this mold (Pierre, Soriano, Jacque). Seems like they treat player development more like the NFL, when baseball is clearly more of a game that relies on good skills, and hence good skill development.

    We'll waste these good performances, then later in the year he'll be giving up more runs and we'll be wishing we hadn't. It's pretty much 100% certain that's how it will go down.
  20. Soul
    They probably talk about how they never truly understood why this franchise was 100 years a loser, until they started following them every day.
  21. Soul
    Says 10 on Gameday.

    If anyone ever tries to argue that this offense is good, I'm going to reach through their computer screen and beat them with a stick. Un-freaking-believable.
  23. Soul
    Gonna strand him. Unbelievable.

    ebaumsworld.com and newgrounds.com have their share of laughs as well. ah, good thinking...i have never heard of newgrounds.com i am checking it out right now If you need to ease pain, I find Jack Daniels and some cocaine works good too.

    Hughes is bunk. But hell, if that's not a foul then we may as well call it Lions vs. Browns and collect for PSLs.
