  1. 10 total hits in the last 21 innings against Brewers pitching. Their rotation may be "trash", but the Cubs offense is trash, way too often.
  2. This same question could be seriously asked of just about every player on the roster.
  3. If most of this team didn't win the World Series 2 years ago, you'd swear they were wilting to the "pressure" of a pennant race.
  4. Right now, Contreras should maybe only be catching Lester.
  5. Seriously? While Madden has made some questionable moves at times, who really is producing at a good rate and not getting playing time? Bottom line is it rarely seems to matter who gets playing time lately. The whole team right now is very average at best. Very little timely hitting....or hitting period. Starters can’t pitch past the 5th. Relievers can’t get guys out. Defense has been less than stellar. Madden may not be managing at his best, but his players have been nowhere near their best for most of the season, save a couple of players. He put Carl Edwards into a tie game with guys on 2nd and 3rd. What reliever should have been used? An overused Cishek that early? Maybe an underused Strop that early? What reliever makes you ooze confidence?

  7. Hahahahaha!!!!! A mere 8 days ago.
  8. We have been assured many times throughout the season that the: Cubs have the best record in the NL Cubs are on a 93-95 win pace Cubs have a great run differential VBs actually suck and will fade VBs rotation blows and they will fade Cards are a just-over .500 team Cubs offense is one of the best in baseball We, as fans, have nothing to worry about. Bring on Game 1 of the NLCS at Wrigley!
  9. I love the continuous posts each day in game threads: -[fill in the blank player] is gonna dong this inning -[Cubs are gonna put up [fill in the blank number] runs this inning -during a terrible offensive producing game, and down late, "The Cubs are coming back to win this one!" -"[fill in the blank player] horsefeathering blows donkey d!cks, he's so awful!!" just before he homers. A blind squirrel eventually finds a nut, right?!?!? OK, that last one on the list was a joke. But the other, right?
  10. Disagree. VBs will open a lead, say 5-1. Cubs score a junk run in the 8th or 9th.
  11. Very often the Cubs offense is trash. Trashier than the VBs starting pitching.
  12. I was in the visitor's locker room about 10 years ago. It is small....and crappy. It looks like a sh!tty high school gym locker room. F 'em!!!
  13. The weather in DC F’ed over the Cubs last October too.
  14. The ‘sconnies are celebrating tonight. Let ‘em (and me) enjoy it and them bring ‘em back to reality Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. F’ the VBs!
  15. Attempt at a jinx? Ha. Nope. It’s a nice drive so far.
  16. Very nice drive so far in crunch time for the Bears.
  17. Yep, my bad. Got the incorrect info from my main Packer board. Sorry.
  18. So is he out for the season? Sorry, got BS info from another board.
  19. Rodgers with a partially torn ACL.
  20. Lots of whining going on. Sure, the rainouts suck. And maybe MLB execs crapped the bed a bit. But should the Cubs really even be in this position with three weeks to go???? They were supposed to run away with the division if not for incredible inconsistency, underperformance and some bad luck due to injury. Where is Duke or David to tell everyone not to worry?
  21. The opponent’s defense doesn’t matter at all. I’m sure Mitch will light up the Vikings and Patriots when they play.
