wtf is up with our cubs?

absolute zero · 07-26-2008, 04:50 PM

is this just our regular 2nd half collapse? I've been working a lot and haven't been able to catch the games, but for those who've seen the past 6 or 7 games, what's going on?

Gorilla Nasty · 07-26-2008, 05:19 PM

Hate to say that I told you soooooo

Now it's all out and youuuuuu know

P-nut · 07-26-2008, 06:19 PM

blew 2 leads on back to back games, ouch

psunit · 07-26-2008, 08:35 PM

Sabathia has been a beast for the Brewers. Cubs needs to start worrying a bit.

Your Idol · 07-26-2008, 08:41 PM

i briefly caught a little bit of the game while i was at best buy today. although i saw the highlights from the one from yesterday on sportscenter...and wow that is unacceptable. throw the ball over the catcher during a pitchout...lol...that cost them the game right there.

Old Soul · 07-26-2008, 10:09 PM

The offense is still on break. Lou Piniella has mis-managed the pen something serious the past few games... going with Samardjiza - in his debut, in a 2-1 ball game in the 7th - and today letting the Marlins see Sean Marshall for 3 straight innings. Lou needs to get his shit together... he can't make them hit, but they have given him a lead going into the 7th in 3 of these recent losses.

Bob Howry sucks.

Harden has been phenomenal, racking-up 10 K in all 3 starts, but they are playing pussy with him. I hope they let him loose by september - we are going to need it... our pen is so fuckin shaky.

I'm definitely worried about the Brewers, who look to tie us today... they beat our ass when we go heads-up, so we need a nice lead going into september... not likely, though.

The offense carried us early-on, and they have been off-track for about 2 months now... especially Soto and Kosuke, who were integral to our early success.

brewers > cubs

Old Soul · 08-06-2008, 04:49 PM

Cubs about to be 46-22 with Soriano in the line-up. THAT'S what was wrong with us. Bobby fucking Cox, the faggot.

Gorilla Nasty · 08-07-2008, 08:59 AM

Cubs are the shit of the shit organization with their 100 years of no chips despite being usually the best team in the NL. Don't get me started on the home run chase of your boy Juice Sosa. I hope Cuban buys them so the legacy of not winning continues, look at the Mavericks reputation and tell me Cubes isn't fit to own the Cubs.

Old Soul · 08-19-2008, 02:52 PM

Cuban leads the bidders at 1.3 billion and it's up to the owner-majority-vote pretty much whether he'll get the Cubs or not.

If he surrounds himself with the right people the possibilities are endless, being in a salary cap-less sport.

We're like 16-5 since this thread, Zero! Haha

absolute zero · 08-19-2008, 04:28 PM

i know, i like our powerful offense, and our ability to time our hits so we can get them in bunches. i also love how we get major productivity with 2 outs.

our rotation is still solid. it doesn't look like we're slowing down and we're keeping the brewers and cards away.

Old Soul · 08-20-2008, 12:44 AM

Harden on 6 days rest = prolly the best pitcher in the league

The Franchise · 08-20-2008, 05:30 AM

the Cubs= Choke artists...

you'll be pissed next month...

Mark Eaton · 08-20-2008, 10:47 AM

you pieces of shit are playing good ball, i hope you handle the brewers in your two remaining sets so we can backdoor our way in and destroy your hopes of a world series
