Care to dig yourself any deeper? :shovel:

moeronn

Like I said, I'll be happy if they take 2 - even though I originally thought it was a 3 game series

Yumcha

ChiSox are in first place still, so, STFU...

gocubsgo55

Pirates. I am sitting here in my apartment with 3 Cubs fans and our friend who's a Pirates fan. Let's just say we're having a lot of fun with him

Scottman111

I still don't see how anyone can be loyal to that franchise.

Yumcha

The Pirates...? I believe your nemesis, Jonesi is a big fan of theirs...



Prepare to get your butt kicked, Scottgirl...

Scottman111

I don't think he would disagree, Mr. MIA

Yumcha

What...? I can't go on vacation...?!?

Scottman111

Uh, no. Only if you live in America do you get those.

Now go root for the Blue Gays.

moeronn

Hey, just because football season is starting, doesn't mean this thread should die.

gocubsgo55

no, but the Cubs are dying, so I will stop my posting here

moeronn

They're still 4.5 games up, with the best record in the NL. Worse comes to worst, they'll at least get the wildcard

And, yeah. It's easier to post when your teams magic number is single digits .

Yumcha

Well, the fact that Harden's "not feeling comfy" which eerily reminds me of MarkPriorKerryWood-speak for "I'm injured"...and Big Z has some issues with his elbow.


Roh oh.

Yumcha

BUT...on one positive: THANK-YOU BLUE JAYS!

IlliNorge

You should thank the Twins. Brutal display of baseball.

gocubsgo55

I am actually cynically SATISFIED that the Cubs are hitting a slump. Why? Because often times those quieting teams get hot right when they need to, and win it all; Cards, White Sox, D'Backs. Similarly, the Rockies (although they didn't win) and Marlins are 2 examples of hot teams at the end of the regular season. The Cubs WILL make the playoffs; mathematically it would take the biggest downfall in baseball history to not allow that.

Doom878

White Sox/Twins is going down to the wire. Sox have some key injuries.

Scottman111

Might be going to the Cubs/Reds game tomorrow night.

Yumcha

Well, the longer it stays this close, the more it may swing towards the Twips' favor esp. if it comes down to that pivotal series at the Minny.




Than again, I do recall how the ChiSox slapped around the yappy Indians in 2005 in the final week.

Yumcha

Cubs 19 Pinks 1...

Debating whether or not I should take the gf to see the Rangers/BoSox game tonite...
$6 tickets (will move to better seats), $7 beers, $4.50 Hotdogs, $4.00 Peanuts.

can't think of anything else to do tonite

Scottman111

Not with me sitting by their dugout begging for a ball and screaming all of my life problems at them

Scottman111

^ My badgering wasn't enough


We showed up just in time to watch Soriano hit the 1st of his three HR's, then Marquis rubbed alcohol in the wound with one of his own


Oh, and it was easily a 5 to 1 ratio of Cubs fans to Reds fans...probably more

Yumcha

Oh quit your whining...at least you didn't watch your closer blow the game.

Why, if it weren't for the fact that my Bears have a better record than your Bungals today...I'd be so, so, so...ANGRY!

Scottman111

Pfft, you're always angry


Angry and jealous of me and my teams

phipark

Just a thought, why do the Dodgers play Andruw Jones? The guy is friggin horrible. I understand that they paid them $10 mil a year or whatever, but playing him won't win them ball games.

Just a rant because I'm a Matt Kemp fan.

Dodgers better make the playoffs to have that Manny trade work out for them. They could do damage there because they have depth in the outfield. That team in an AL ballpark with a DH would be a nice lineup.

Scottman111

Yeah, I don't know if it's a pride thing or what. I guess they were thinking he was going to turn it around, but it's already this late in the year...he ain't never turning it around.

And did anybody not see this coming? I remember in the off-season when he said something about not working out and eating whatever he wanted because when he was too skinny the year before and it was taking away his power

I don't think I've ever liked him since he came up.

Scottman111

Oh, and that sucks for the Mets fans about Billy Wagner. Think they'll make a run at K-Rod in the off-season?

moeronn

Angels just clenched the AL West.

Yumcha

Well, if K-Rod does one more finger point into the sky and scream, I hope some giant seagull on his wide-opened mouth.

C'mon...it's a freakin' save. You'd think he won Game 7 of the WS or something.

Yumcha

Wow, the ChiSox bullpen made it interesting tonight.

moeronn

I don't see any seagulls flying over the stadium...

Edit - I waited for it... was almost hoping along with you

Yumcha

to BIG Z...!!!


First no-hitter by Cubs in 36 years!

Mokos23

i guess the no-hitter makes up for the Bears choke earlier today.

gocubsgo55

AHHH!!!!!!! I could have gone to this game! A friend from back home in Chicago, myself, and another RESPONSIBLE student decided that class tomorrow and homework for those classes was far too important.

Yumcha

YOU DORKO!
