Well said Rick I couldn't agree more with you.Lets all sit back and enjoy the final stretch to October GO CUBS GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! John (aceman) ......
These guys could have not picked a worse time to start slumping!!! This game is too frustrating to watch. It's been 3 games since they got an extra base hit!...
Yeah, it's been a while...get ready for an offensive onslaught by the CUBS! You heard it here first...they are going into the bottom of the 6th as I write...
Heaven forbid Lee comes through in the clutch! He'd actually be a hitter you can count on. Glad to see Lou and Gerald fixed Fukudome's problems!!! That...
I just wish they'd all go back to being patient and stop trying to hit a home run every at bat....simply pathetic. I hope Lou goes ballistic!!!!! ... From: Tom...
Lee has stunk in the clutch all year. We hear the old cliche time and time again......"it's marathon, not a sprint". Well, they better start running like...
hi, The pitching has been ok. The offense really nonexistent. Are they getting tired? Have we run out of gas? What has happened to Lee? Is Fuke just hype?...
Ramirez does not strike fear into opposing pitchers? Since when? He maybe struggling but there is nobody on this team I would rather see up late in a big...
Roy Oswalt is pitching like an ace again and the Houston Astros are on a roll headed into the final month of the season. Oswalt allowed four singles—all the...
I agree with you. Pick something and leave it. But this sure is a sucky time to fall into a funk, isn't it? Hopefully they can tune Backe up again! ... ...
...in a game, in a season. I swear, the Cubs HAVE to be close to the record. I don't recall EVER seeing a team hit into this many DP's. Tonight, let's see if...
OK, only 3 of 5 innings with double plays now. No chance at 9 DP's (at least not today) but I'm tellin' ya, this team hits into DP's like no other in history....
I'm surprised it'n not over 11.25 against every body. If by some miracle these guys make the playoffs, I hope Howry is left off the roster. ... From: Scott...
Remember the date 8/19/69? The Cubs were up 8.5 games on the Cards and 9.5 on the Mets...this was the high water mark of that season. The Cubs ended up with...

It's the same logic that keeps bringing in Daryl Ward as a pinch-hitter. Neither of these guys have been worth a crap all year, but Lou keeps bringing them in...
I hate to say it but I kind of agree. I know it is just one game and I am hoping the Mets bail us out, but this is easily one of the worst games I ahve seen...
It doesn't matter what went on before, this is here this year, this is now. Get up, walk around the room, take a deep breath. It will all work out ok. Come...
"It doesn't matter what went on before, this is here this year, this is now." Now, no REAL Cub fan would ever write that or believe that. Sorry but you're just...
I'm being optimistic and you question whether I'm a REAL Cubs fan! You go ahead and expect the worst that's up to you, I don't really care, I'll be optimistic...
It's not one game, Nat, it very well may be 4! ... From: Azbearfan34@... <Azbearfan34@...> Subject: Re: DIEHARD CUBS GROUP 8/10/69...and now 8/30/08 ...
We're all a bit upset right now. We're shell shocked as Cubs fans. It's like we came back from a war and 30 years later you're diving for a roadside ditch...
Hey guys, it's 7-7. Not even Howry can beat us in this one. We're finding runs. We're capitalizing on their pitchers. Pull the chute and land softly! ...
Not really, this is a solid team, and one of if not THE deepest team in the majors right now. We happen to be playing a team that historically plays us tough,...
