I want that Scrappy figurine

 

[Joe]

clemens deserves the nl cy young. HES 42 YEARS OLD.

 

[Desperado]

damn I'm going to the saturday game [my only game all year! ] and I'm missing Roy AND Roger going for their 18ths. bah...we had tickets to sunday's game but they changed it to a night game so my dad said it was too late and changed to saturday...now we have seats 38 rows up 1st base side in the outfield, instead of 10 rows back in the right field seats...damnit this is for my birthday too.

 

[Miguel]

I want scrappy too.

 

[Desperado]

Cards have lost their last three series.

 

[Mrbob]

:lol I gave up on the season 3 weeks after the all-star break. Any team's two best hitters go down and you know it's over. And If the Sox were in first by 12.5 games I'd still be pulling for the Cubs to choke this hard. I always do.


But seriously, answer the question. Why must you continually flip flop? I mean...pretty much every main poster in this thread's team has had a really bad run. No one even comes close to you. You seem to take losses just like the cubs players.

Where the Cubs go, I go. This is the most painful year I've ever had as a Cubs fan. I want them to lose because many players on the team act like jackasses and they piss me off but they are my favorite team so I want them to win. I get conflicted. But now they seem to finally have gotten over their stubborn "US AGAINST THE WORLD" phase so I can cheer for them in good conscious!

 

[Eminem]

Nice reply. You got lucky.

 

[Eminem]

ichiro walks 3 times? laaaaaame

 

[Cubsfan23]

Haha, Giants only 2.5 back of Dodgers. Looks like we will see a Dusty/Giants NLCS like we were supposed to last year

 

[Mrbob]

Are the Dodgers fading away?

 

[Joe]

 

[J2 Cool]

Are the Dodgers fading away?

stupid stupid trade. Dumb Dodgers. Everyone knew it. You don't screw up a first place team

 

[Meier]

The Dodgers have been a bit streaky all year. We'll win a few in a row.. count on it.

 

[Mrbob]

Red Sox are gonna sweep all three in the Bronx.

This is great for the Cubs though. Dodgers/Giants close. I'd prefer LA to beat the crap out of San Fran but as long as they take each other out the Cubs should be able to win the wild card as long as they take care of business. Sept 20 in Florida is gonna be a big day. We need to at least split, but we can gain some major leverage by winning both games of the double header. Both Houston and San Fran have off that day.

 

[davis]

Pleade let it be Red Sox vs Cubs in game 7 of world series, baseball could never top that.

 

[Guileless]

"We don't throw at .260 hitters."

It's on, bitch.

 

[Joe]

 

[Joe]

 

[evil solrac v3.0]

ok joe, we get it. (still exciting but these events get annoying fast) red sox fans get too revved up and some yankees fans dont get excited enough. dont know why though....

 

[Mrbob]

Guileless, where are you dude? You gotta post a picture of Zambrano or you might break the streak!!!

 

[Mrbob]

Time is of the essence. Less than one hour till gametime. I will not let Guileless let this team go into a tailspin. So here we go:

LETS GO BIG Z!

 

[Guileless]

lol, I forgot! 4 Cub pitchers on GAF, 4 Cub victories! Thanks Mrbob. Zambrano's going to be throwing rocks tonight.

DirecTV people, I heard that the game will be on ESPN Alternate.

 

[Joe]

 

[Mrbob]

Damn. Cubs game isn't on WGN. Which means I can't watch it.

Well, looks like I watch Red Sox/Yankees.

 

[Lathentar]

Clutch Hitting in the 1st by the Red Sox!

 

[Joe]

DUQUE YOU SO NASTYYYY

 

[Mrbob]

DUQUE YOU SO NASTYYYY

Yeah that was a beautiful home run by Damon!

Damn! That's another foul home run! El Duque is getting lucky tonight!

 

[Guileless]

@#$% rain delay in the Bronx.

Cub game is on ESPNa, Channel 213.

 

[Joe]

this rain delay is such a buzz kill. it'll be good for the yankees though who seem to be a little too excited about this series.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

why can't baseball players play through rain? Pussies.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

didn't Bronson Arrooyo get the memo about white guys and cornrows?

 

[Joe]

i dont think they'll be able to get this game in. yanks better get 2 or 3 runs this inning just to make sure.

 

[Joe]

THE ONE FUCKING GAME I CAN WATCH THIS WEEKEND AND ITS GONNA GET RAINED OUT

and duque's pissed. when duque's pissed, im pissed.

i feel sorry for him, he wanted this game BAD.

 

[calder]

Holy shit, all year I've had some Boston TV station that shows Red Sox games and I NEVER REALIZED IT. I also have a Chicago station called WGN that shows Cubs and I think White Sox games, and I never knew. And the Mariners and Mets' local affiliates (ok, no one cares about that). I could cry when I think of all the games I would have watched if only I'd known I could! All those summer afternoons stuck watching the Jays shit their unis in front of an empty stadium, or even worse the 2 or 3 times I tried to force myself to watch an Expos game on The Score. Dammit.

Of course, I realize that I could be watching the Yanks/Sox play just in time to enjoy the rain delay.

 

[Mrbob]

Woo! Derrick Lee 3 run blast in the 5th! Cubs up 6-0!

Last night Aram night. Tonight is Derrick Lee night! He has 5 of the Cubs 6 rbis!

One thing I have started to notice are the amount of walks Cubs players have been taking lately. Very impressive. Those solo home runs are now becoming 2 and 3 run shots because this team is taking many more walks than they did earlier in the year.

 

[J2 Cool]

Boom! 6-0 Cubs. Taking out mediocre teams with dominant pitching and hitting like we need to.

 

[Mrbob]

WTF. That ball Ginter smacked hit the yellow line!! Isn't that a home run?!?!


GO SHEETS!

 

[Mrbob]

OMG Zambrano just hit a home run for the Cubs too! :lol He crushed that ball to center field!! Over 400(!!) feet!

 

[rc213]

=

Dodgers are officially in full blown Meltdown mode, everyone stand back!!! LOL

 

[J2 Cool]

I'd love to see Prior, Wood, Zambrano, and Maddux turn it on. I know last year Wood had a fantastic September and Prior continued his 2nd half streak to the end. I think Zambrano can throw right up there with them guys though and they should really install some confidence and avoid falling apart. It's just a matter of time until we get hot

I just dont think we'll ever completely have our ship sink with so many aces on one team. Someone will keep it afloat and with the talent we have we're bound to start some streaks.

har har har! 5 game streak ties Cubs with Giants for longest active streak in the NL

 

[Joe]

i just wanna take this time out to personally thank the seattle mariners for releasing john olerud.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

John Olerud "put the Mariners on the map"? :lol Yeah, it wasn't Griffey, or Arod, or Randy or even Edgar or Ichiro, it was that skinny guy in the hard hat.

edit: holy shit Manny!

LMAO! Cairo ran all around the fuckin bases! Stupid yankee!

 

[Lathentar]

Crazy ending to the Astros game. Posednick with an apparently game tying single, then gets caught in a run down with a man on 3rd then he breaks home and the Astros get him in a pickle and finally tag him!

 

[Joe]

at least put the yankees game in a little box in the corner...fucking idiots.

 

[CorruptionDee]

at least put the yankees game in a little box in the corner...fucking idiots.

the game is on cbs.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

i don't know if its already been posted here, but supposedly there is rumors that the husband and wife from Oakland that were involved in that bullpen "brawl" during the A's/Rangers game were making fun of the pitchers stillborn baby, in which case i retract my statement. No only did they deserve a chair to the head, but also a blowtorch to the genitals so those pieces of trash are unable to reproduce.

 

[Joe]

time for quangormo!

why isnt quantrill in?

 

[Joe]

tanyon sturtze just pwned the red sox :lol

 

[Cubsfan23]
