    Is Olsen the guy who grew up a Cubs fan and was actually outside Wrigley (with the mobs behind the bleachers) in 2003 when they played the Marlins (who he had just been drafted by, I think)?

    What's wrong with Crane Kenney sticking around?
  3. David
    lol run differential BABY
  4. David
    Eh... "only" 106 pitches. Damn you impatient Cards...
  5. David
    Wow. Yost has no regard for CC's arm. Did he not get the memo about CC's playoff "performance" last year?
  6. David
    Don't worry guys. They'll find a way to lose this one. They're the Cubs.

    I was bringing up 1984 and 89 more for the people in their 20's like me who either wouldn't have been alive or wouldn't have remembered it much. The 85 Bears, for instance, mean nothing to me, honestly. I was 2. The 2006 team that lost in the Super Bowl means a lot more to me. Whether the Cubs had won a title in 69 or not, I'd feel the same way I do about this team. And we're much better off than most team's fan bases these days. It was more a vent/rant in response to when people act like the Cubs have never won just because they've never won a WS. They don't always find ways to lose or whatever it is people like to say (especially when this anecdotal crap is used in reference to regular season games, anyway). They've had some great teams, some pretty good ones, some mediocre ones, some very bad ones, and some terrible ones, just like most other teams. Hell, these days, like I said, we're among the teams that actually has a chance in hell of contending for/winning a WS. There are a few teams that can't say that much. Every single year.

    Top of my head, I'd guess the Giants, but I dunno. Dodgers 21, Giants 20, Cardinals 17. Should've known that. I totally forgot how long those teams had been around. ](*,)

    Yeah, well, after living through the '84 debacle trust me I would rather have won. Yea, I'm glad I wasn't around for that...but our generation of fans definitely got our own version of that in '03. I can honestly say I didn't need to find out what it felt like. The subsequent disastrous collapse of that pitching staff (which would've made us a playoff powerhouse for years to come) over the next few years was the cherry on top.
  10. David
    Just out of curiosity...prior to 2004, when the Cardinals tied us, did any NL team have more NL pennants than the Cubs?
  11. David
    You're absolutely right. You honestly believe that? Would you have anymore satisfaction as a fan if the Cubs had managed to pull one out in 69 or 75 or 84 or any other year? Who the hell cares? 84? You bet your butt I would have more satisfaction. Well yea, you. But I'm pretty sure he's a younger guy, which is why I tossed that in. :wink:

    Neither could I, so I was like, "Screw it," and went with what I knew offhand.

    Losing is what this team does best. After all, they have a reputation to uphold. seriously? When did you start following the Cubs? Once again. THIS team refers to 2008 no? Not that it matters. The Cubs have 16 pennants, over 10,000 wins, a well over .500 all time record... but none of that matters because they haven't managed to win a WS in 100 years. Does anyone honestly care about the WS drought? I've been watching the Cubs for 13 years. I don't care what they did before then. Those of you that have been watching for 30-40 years, I understand the frustration, but that's still nowhere near 100 and there are plenty of teams that have been more futile over the recent past than the Cubs. I'm pretty sure nobody here has been waiting anywhere near 100 years for a championship. All the 100 years crap is just media and fan nonsense. It gives other team's fans (bogus) ammunition to talk trash. That's about it. If they had won a WS in 84 or 89, I'd be no more satisfied or happy as a Cubs fan than I am right now. Case in point, Brewer fans can talk all the crap they want about 100 years, but I'm pretty sure a lot of them haven't even seen a postseason series in their lifetimes.

    Nice inning.
  16. David
    How should we react? Are things going well? I think there is plenty of reason to be concerned. There's more reason to not be concerned.
  17. David
    wat?
  18. David
    I guess Lou really did pull him into his office and tell him to start hitting more home runs.
  19. David
    Nope. DLee went deep.

    When you troll a message board, you're a troll. You only ever post here about ONE subject. Hell, you couldn't even help yourself from including Soriano's name in your last post.
  21. David
    He ran the count full, fouled off two pitches straight back, and swung and missed at one pitch. All in all, I would hardly call that a bad AB, despite the result. Granted, I know I just did the same thing, but there's really no point in attempting to reason with this troll.
  22. David
    It was, what, a 6 pitch AB? Give me a freaking break, man.
  23. David
    How many times this year has Lilly faced someone who throws less hard than him?
  24. David
    Sori with a very unadventurous catch.
  25. David
    You're right. It's terrible to have a ~.900ish OPS batting first and getting the most PAs on the team.
