I went back in 2007 and promised myself that I wouldn't go back again. Too many people in a hotel that lacks adequate convention space, a bunch of middle-aged autograph hawks, and a fight nearly broke out when one fan accused another of cutting in line to get Alan Trammell's autograph. No thank you. I'd rather spend my money to go down to Mesa. The weekend wasn't a complete loss though. My wife and I got to watch the Bears win the NFC Championship the next day.

"The 2009 Chicago Cubs: Just ask your friend to kick you in the nuts. At least you won't have to wait six months for it."

Or, Lou could just tell his team not to be a bunch of vaginas out there, and to man up and start playing like these games mean something.

The real issue is how the fans not being loud enough obviously affected Soriano at the plate, and forced him to throw his bat at all those low, outside pitches. Lou should be yelling at the fans. :roll:

Yeah, at least they were in those games for the most part.

I was kind of hoping for a meaningless GIDP.

LMFAO. At this point the only thing I can do is laugh. I really can't wait for the postgame show now.

Word. Those guys are getting adopted by me this year I'm adopting whoever wins this year.

Yeah, but they saw 12 whole pitches that inning. They're really starting to come around now.

It's crazy to think of such hypotheticals, but I'd think that Lou would have to kill Z to get the ball away from him.

As good as this team was in the regular season, my hopes were way up this year though. If a 97-win team can't do any better than a three-game sweep in the NLDS, it's just never going to happen.

He does! I thought the same exact thing yesterday. I'm glad I'm not the only one. Uncanny! I thought that too.

I can't wait to hear what nuggets of wisdom Dave "Rah-Rah" Kaplan will have for the fans on the postgame show.

Way ahead of you. I'm already looking forward to winter meetings! The only way I'll be looking forward to the winter meeting is if Hendry dumps most of the gutless a-holes on this team.

Nice 22-hop throw by Fuku there.
