PrintLast time we did this the Cubs won in great fashion. Let's hope they do it again tonight. They certainly can't have two horrible offensive games in a row can they? Hopefully Soriano finds his way on base tonight and the others follow his lead. I hope Ted pitches a lights out game. Let's do this Cubs!!
GO CUBS!!!

We really need to win tonight, no?
Yes, I agree

anyone watching Yanks/Indians?
Yes. We need to win tonight. We can still come back if we lose, but it will be extremely difficult.
I'm watching
the only problem with that game
Oh
I'd actually be pretty surprised if the Yankees make it past the Indians. That regular season record is pretty meaningless in the post season.
Having said that, the Yankees could still win it all. They're the über-Phillies. Even more offense and not even Cole Hamels in the rotation. The Yankees bullpen is a little better, if only because of Rivera and Chamberlain.
Thanks, Sue!
I know. Sorry!
Actually, we won on Saturday

Long story short...
Lilly sucks, and should be drawn and quartered.
The Cubs, overall, are done and had no business basically even taking the field this season.
Oh, and you would think Aram had murdered and unwed mother and child this morning.
So, here I am.
We're down 2 runs in the 3rd inning facing a pitcher who is struggling to throw strikes and has labored through 3 innings, and some people act like they have never seen a baseball game before.
Because, you know, everyone can make that catch off the wall that Sori missed, and everyone should be able to hit a major league pitcher.
Hell, I couldn't even hit minor league pitching, hence the reason I am here with you fine folks tonight.

Hey guys..
Our guys look totally out of sync tonight. The momentum is definitely in the Dbacks favor, for now. But we all know what happened in 1984. Even if we lose this game, and there is a lot of baseball left to play tonight, we will be going home to our fans in our park.
I remember the Yankees being up on the Dodgers 2-0 going back to L.A. and the Dodgers swept them 4 straight after getting their momentum up at home.
Let's keep our chins up. What I like about you guys is you are not quitters, and I think our boys will show us the same. All we need is one break to go our way and the whole thing changes.

He said the curse of Augie Ojeda, a former Cub utility player that they put in the minors, has come back to haunt them.
Augie is killing us this series, but to say it's a new curse?
Gimme a break...
I heard that oo
by love the ivy on Oct 4, 2007 11:29 PM CDT up reply actions
You people NEW to this team?
Anybody in this thread sit in Candlestick Park in 1989 as I did?
It's the same old shit. There's no curse, there's no goat....it's the failure to pitch, to hit, to execute in a short series.
In the small sample size that exists since 1984, in post season, this team has won ONE series. That's a fact. I can only hope when this team participates in the post season in the future, perhaps the odds start even up. The 'hasn't won in 100 years' is bullshit. It has nothing to do with this team, but that's the storyline for next year.
But the fact is this team has not won in the post season, (in the modern era) and it's NOT going to start this season.
The Yankees have not done well in the post season in 9 years, really -- but nobody brings that to light. It's the 700 World Championships they have that kind of puts any 'slump' in perspective. We don't get to the post-season often, and the Cubs have gone down in flames every time. The failure, combined with the history is magnified out of proportion.
It's awful to see these non-historical teams...the Diamondbacks, the Marlins.....go home champions, as we sit here with our hat in our hand, nose pressed against the window.
And it's gonna happen again. It's hard to swallow.
And anybody who thinks they are going to win 3 in a row is a spectacular optimist that I wish I could be.
I have literally lived and died with this team since 1964. But I know when the party's over.
I have been there, and done that, and bought the book.

It's baseball. If you don't want your heart ripped out, then quit being passionate about anything in life. Divorce your wife if you have one and go live in a cave in the side of a mountain. Don't adopt any pet lizards while there, or they may rip your heart out when a peregrin falcon with psoriasis plucks it off the rock in the bright of day and feasts on it's innards.
I think I speak for any logical passionate fan of any team when I say I will watch until we are eliminated. Down to the last out.
It's baseball. It's not life. If the success or failures of any team cause my heart to be ripped out and spiral into depression, then well...maybe I'm not that kind of a fan that you are.
Personally, I like it that way.
Go Cubs.
Also
Call me optimistic, yeah, I am. Just the way I like it.
Look at it this way...
The NLCS and WS will truly have crappy ratings without the Cubs in the dance, so we get to have that small revenge as we drown our sorrow in our favorite beverage...assuming we don't climb out of this hole.

Hey San Diego...
This is where Lou Pinella earns his paycheck. If he is the kind of leader I think/hope he is, he will get these guys fired up for game 3.
I will never forget Tommy Lasorda saying, after the Yankees went up 2-0 over the Dodgers, and someone suggested the Yankees were going to sweep the Dodgers, and he said, "Sweep my ass!"
That is what these guys need to hear from Lou. The players are really low, their heads are down and they are thinking the "curse" is once again bearing down on them. He has to inspire them, to make them believe again. I know it's a tall order with what is happening now, but that's what leaders do. Inspire Confidence!
by Ken Hubbs on Oct 4, 2007 11:37 PM CDT up reply actions
Yeah...and then Stockton sounded like he's HAPPY
WHAT A FRIGGING MORON!
I left the Michael Vick dog fighting pit
As I see it, I can't get aggitated over whatever happens in this post-season. I always felt the Cubs would NEVER win the WS as long as Tribune owned the team. That will soon be over. Hurray!
The fact that so much progress was made this year, especially given where we were in late June (8 games out), I don't understand the venom (on the other post) about the failure on the field. Whatever good happens at this point would be a bonus.
Otherwise, we have a great base to build on for 2008. Compare where we are now versus October 2006.
In the interim, I'll watch every inning of every game until we win 11 or are eliminated.

hasn't found the lucky spot....
hahaha
Sorry folks...I'm just really tired and the brain
and we ALL know what can happen there... :-)
whoa...
I totally understand
Haha
Of course, Mrs. Cubbie was well in la-la land at 1:30 AM (that woman is a sleeping machine, usually in bed by 9:30 and could sleep through a dump truck full of mitroglycerin barreling through a dynamite factory).
But the Cubs did kind of threaten in the 9th while I was lying in bed, right up until the heart and power of our order came up to quickly kill the rally.
maybe Mrs. Cubbie
It just doesn't make any sense.

Thank you
No calls for riots here. In other words over in the other thread people are calling for death. Yes if a good portion of 40000 start rioting there will be dead people.
Respect for the Dbacks here which they deserve.
No accusations of not trying. Sorry not doing well does not mean you don't try it just means you're outplayed.
The other difference
The lack of class in the other thread is disgusting. The hate for Lee, Ramirez and Soriano is disgusting.
They all want the whole team traded.
You want to really laugh? They want Lee, Soriano and Ramirez benched for Pie, Fontenot and I forgot the 3rd one.
ug.
thanx for this thread though. it's nice to see that there's still some fans around here who are not filled with negativity...
I think
One poster called for riots and not one person called him out on it besides me which means they want riots if we lose on Saturday.

Better than Reg. Game Thread
Hopefully this is all part of some grand scheme to test the faith and hearts of Cubdom. When the Cubs (FINALLY) win the World Series, you never would expect anything less than a victory snatched from the jaws of defeat.
No NL team has ever come back from 0-2 in the 5 game NLDS. Perhaps only a team destined to win against all odds can buck this trend.
The stage is set for tear-filled glory.
Go Cubs.
Good call Sue
I don't share in it, but it certainly was a good idea of Sue's to have an alt game thread.
And, btw, Sue, I would guess Soto's jersey # will change in ST next year so you may wish to wait a bit on the Uni.
It was a successful year, for the most part!

I thought about
I understand how frustrated you feel. We all feel it we just show it in different ways. I'm just more comfortable during games in a less hostile enviroment.
This team made some great improvements from last season and with new owners I think more improvements will happen. Things will get better. We've seen the worst and that is behind us.
I just think this idea ...
Eventually the fair weather posters--and their antics--will drop by the side of the road, but perhaps we should learn be a bigger lesson here: LET'S ALL TRY TO GET ALONG. This is just a game, folks--not a fru-fru country club.
This place is starting to smack of cliqueish-ness that plagued it last winter all over again. I thought that problem left earlier this year ... and I believe many of those same posters who demand a "separate but equal" game thread complained because they felt left out of the so-called hip gang. And yet, we're in danger of it happening again just because.
Holier than thou attitudes just really piss me off. Not everyone likes the same flavour of Kool-Aide--perhaps we should all remember and respect that in word and deed.

Sorry you feel that way Trish.
I am not a negative person by nature so all of it in the game thread is not for me. Obviously I'm not the only one who feels this way.
Al gave his blessing for the game diary. If you feel it's childish and ridiculous then I guess we won't be seeing you in here any more.
Who is having the "Holier than thou"
The biggest thing about the game thread sometimes is there are a lot of posters who only show up here when something goes bad during the game. They say f'n DLee or f ARam etc etc. I don't mind complaining about a play, but I am sure the players are trying to do their best. And most of these posters never have anything to add to any of the non-game diaries. The alternative thread has been pretty cool as far as I'm concerned. Thanks Sue....
