Anyone surprised by the playoff roster? I am not surprised Pie made the roster. I thought Hoffpauir was likely to get Ward's spot until Ward hit the 2 run HR...
I concur...vehemently. And...we can come back! How many series has this team lost so far this year, it has to be some kind of record low for the cubbies! We...
I don't understand the Belushi thing. You mentioned it earlier in the week and I didn't get it then either. Are you talking about the Eddie Vedder song that...
I had some female family members angry at me earlier this year when I stated that the pain of child birth couldn't possibly compare to the pain of being a Cubs...
... than ... On the other hand, I am grateful they didn't wait until game 6/7 of the NLCS or WS before collapsing into typical Cubs baseball. Does giving the...
Well, having been both a cubs fan, and having squeezed two babies (a third on the way), I would say that the pain of being a cubs fan is emotionally worse, at...
Stated much more diplomatically than my sister-in-law. ... (a third on the way), I would say that the pain of being a cubs fan is emotionally worse, at least...
So far the NLDS is 2 games in and the Cubs have yet to show up. I don't even want to begin to talk about those games except to say they were by far the worse...
Going along the lines of Will's posts about the pain we feel, the other emotion I feel is embaressment. Embarressed that I thought this team may have been...

You know...I was a Reds fan growing up as a kid in the 70's and then I met my wife. She is a die hard Cubs fan and I began to realize something. All the time...
Well you're assuming this team is the same team we saw mid-season and it's not. They haven't been good for a month. The team we're seeing right now is the...
It is a great team. Any team can lose 3 out of 5 to any other team. This has been a fine season. There is no doubt that the Cubs can win three in a row, too....
... Not if they continue to give the opposition extra outs and refuse to make the opposing pitcher work. Fukudome's struggles are a microcosm for the entire...
Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Cmon guys. We are Cubs fans win or lose. Harden's going to through a no hitter, followed by Lilly throwing...
Can we just stop the negative posts? Anyone with a brain knows we are in trouble. We can cry, and whine all we want, or we can dig down one more time and show...
I appreciate the sentiment, but the "negative posts" are not as much "negative" as they are realistic. As far as game 3 and Harden - every one of us hopes the...
Will, I know(Well, I think!) you are a great Cub fan, and a very knowledgeable one at that. I am just trying to provide us with a little rah-rah! Lets go...
... knowledgeable one at that. I am just trying to provide us with a little rah-rah! ... Like a Cubs infielder, I dropped my "rah-rah" during the game last ...
... You mean like EVERY Cubs infielder. That was something. You know, nobody has mentioned the catalyst to that whole inning... Torre starting the runner. If...
If the Cubs had to win one game, I would pick Harden to pitch it (I would have said this even before this series). I know he will only go 5-6 innings, but I...
Yeh i agree, the nightmare all started when torre sent the runner and put theriot completely out of position (i guess, tho any good shortstop could still make...
I think lou was just getting tired of being asked about Fukudome and was obviously visibly upset with his teams play, and obviously fukudomes at bats. When...
... How exactly is swinging at 2 sliders off the plate being TOO patient? Not swinging at the 2-0 pitch wasn't the problem. Swinging at balls 3 and 4 was the...
Whoa there Shane... Theriot should have made that play... the ball was essentially over his shoulder and he right there. DeRosa's error was on a ball hit...

Nobody cares because it didn't matter at that point in the game, but how about that foul ball call on the DeRosa ball down the line in the 9th inning last...
