    It's going to work anyway. Because everything seems to be working in Milwaukee.

    Brewers are one of the choices. Maybe it's now a different poll or something. I chose the Cards. Most people apparently think the Mets will collapse.
  3. Soul
    Ouch. Gally still pitching well though I think.

    Shouldn't be a surprise. Last offseason they were coming off a Super Bowl run, the year before they were looking to build on a playoff appearance. I don't think they are purposefully wasting the best years of the defense, the problem is they haven't found a quality offensive coach or the correct quality offensive personel. They've drafted RB and QB in the first round. They've spent big on free agent lineman and WR. They just aren't good at picking the right guys and developing them. I have a hard time envisioning this team being in the same picture as the 2005 and 2006 versions, but I'm still somewhat excited for football season. It's not a hopeless season, like the 2005 and 2006 Cubs. They could make some noice. That pretty much nails it. I'm still anxious to see how it turns out, but I'm not going to be driving all the way down to TC this year (for the first time in about 5 years). I'll be seeing 1 game for sure, probably 2. I'm still ready for football, just not jumping out of my seat :)

    OMGZ SO BUSTED!

    Ditto. Im fairly confident that we'll make the playoffs one way or another, but it will be a rocky road, and we wont coast as we once thought we would. However, once we get there, I feel that we can dominate. Zambrano and Harden can hang with any 1-2 in the league, and not too many NL teams have a 3-4 that can answer to Dempster and Lilly. We just have to hope that we can get homfield advantage for the 2 NL series'. If they do win the pennant they better learn how to win on the road. Thanks to Selig... It's the bane of our existence that will follow us through the entire season. Don't need to be great on the road, but being this bad really hurts.

    I'm having a little difficulty mustering up the same level of excitement for the Bears as I've had in recent years. Just having trouble seeing the plan here, the direction. It's like -- OK fine, we have a good defense. When will we get some O on this squad? Why are we wasting yet another year of career off this defense with near-league-worst offense? It's starting to wear on me a little. We need more points being scored on offense, that's the end of it for me. Glad the defense will be good n' all, but that's only half the equation and it doesn't even look like the org is really trying to remedy the other half. Frustrating. And we haven't played a single preseason game yet.

    I have it on good authority that you've started to suck a little. valid. then in the spirit of the title of this thread: yes, i remember when i didn't suck. I've noticed that I'm sucking too much lately too. I need to get it in gear, and quickly.

    Historically, not long. Was it his wrist or arm that was broken? Hand I thought it was a broken finger? I could be remembering wrong, though. IIRC it was one of the bones in the hand that the finger connects to. Yes, I know that's an incredibly medical statement. I just remember his injury sounded very much like something similar I had as a teen. I also broke the same wrist like a year afterwards -- the wrist injury was *much* more intense and required much more rehab for me.

    No, they're trying to strengthen him.

    It's not like we've needed Wood anyway, sadly. If I could pick a perfect time for a blister to form on our closer's hands, it would be in the midst of 4/5 loss period where the closer may as well be handling the dinner plans for the team during the game.

    Maybe Lou has run out of answers with this bunch.
  14. Soul
    Don't play Soriano tomorrow. Especially if Hudson is hurt badly. Believe it or not I am a bit worried about retaliation.
  15. Soul
    That and smoking and drinking. No doubt. Total frog voice on those Rauch K's. Whatever. Apparently he just did a retrospective where he details his hatred for the Cubs *AGAIN*

    Grace has this really annoying habit of taking a young, unproven player and jumping right to a comparison with a hall of famer.
  17. Soul
    Well we've got fake rallies already. May as well add fake silver lining to the mix.
  18. Soul
    Weeknights suck. I've got a good mind to do some heavy drinking tonight, but I can't. :evil:

    Hart's a AAA guy forever.

    Cheer up, we still have the better fans. http://i198.photobucket.com/albums/aa250/soulschizm/alyssa_milano_excited_about_the_cub.jpg

    With the game no longer in doubt, the AC units were turned off, and bingo a homer. See? It all makes sense. :-k
  23. Soul
    How about we post every post as a question until the Cubs win? http://img213.imageshack.us/img213/5436/picture3sr5.png Please no....the Brewers fans did this exact same thing in a game thread last year. How annoying. Did what? Post "we suck" images or post everything as a question?
  24. Soul
    As if football season won't be a complete abortion this year. Yeap. Bulls in rebuilding mode. If the Cubs don't come through we're down to praying for the Blackhawks to come through.

    :rotfl: All you can do anymore. Thanx a million, Cobs! I found this one really captures the emotion of tonight.
