Depressing turnout at the Juicer tonight..was wandering the concourse and there is hardly anyone here. I know folks have more going on than baseball right now..but I would figure more people than this would show up just out of people without power wanting 3 hours in AC.
With traffic being so bad this week, maybe it'll be a late-arriving crowd... I hope. Cubs doing their part, up 1-0 early.
I give up. The Cubs pitcher just botched a routine grounder, throwing it to the dugout to give the Mets the lead and put two on with none out. Thanks for nothing, guys -- where was the laydown last week?
How could Cooper have not used Loretta to pinch hit for Bourne with a runner on second and 1 out and a left hander on the mound? It's the 8th inning of a must win 1 run game and he leaves one of the league leading pinch hitters on the bench.
Typical Cub fan. You wonder why nobody feels bad that you haven't won a damned thing since the 1940s.
Who knows, if only we had Matsui and Lee for 90% of the games, and a Oswalt that didn't start out slow.
At least we were there. The Cubs have not won an NL pennant since 1945. "The law of averages says anything will happen that can. The last time the Cubs won a National League pennant was the year we dropped the bomb on Japan." --Steve Goodman "A Dying Cub Fan's Last Request"
With the confidence you have in the CUbs, why have you continually ignored my offer for a tipjar bet? I'll put $25 in if the Cubs make (don't have to win) the World Series and you put $25 in if they don't. This will allow you to become a contributing member.
....we'd have lost the 2005 NLCS. I'm not clamoring for Backe as a #3, because he ain't--but mad props for his 2005 run.
Cub troll. The Cubs are a better team than the Astros this year, troll. The Cubs are a better team than the Astros an average of 1 out of every 5 years, troll. See you next year, troll. And the hate is rollin'. I'm hoping for 90 Cubs losses, as improbable as that is. I'm also hoping for a victorious 3-and-out for the c*bs next week. Completely Useless By September
What kind of Houstonian is a damn Cubs fan, anyway? Typical, too. Disappears whenever the Astros win then shows up after losses to taunt. Maybe he's just bitter after years of abuse because the c*bs are typically the doormat of the National League, and finally this year he can heap some abuse on somebody else for a change. Enjoy your 30 seconds in the sun, troll. The c*bs will revert to their general sucktitude soon enough.
