NAH NAH NAH
HEY HEY HEY

GOODBYE!

And dont let the door hit you on the way out.

but not willing to cut all strings so that you keep the possibility of a booty call later on?

but I’m going to. We never had a 8 run come back against the braves, you are probably thinking of the rockies game on May 30th.

Oh and by the way, if you leave now. Don’t come crawling back when we win it all.

he was being ironic and poetic.

I always thought you were fat anyway.

Somebody could probably take this letter, delete a few things, make a few minor changes, and give this to some girlfriend they don’t want to see anymore.

:)

A tad melodramatic, I think. This does not do anything to make Cubs fans look any less neurotic. I’m kind of getting to the point where I wonder if any of the wailing and gnashing of teeth really gets us anywhere.

I am embarassed by this year’s team. Plain and simple. But I don’t just give up on this team. I know for a FACT I’ll stand right back up and back this team 100% next year because that’s who I am.

Why would I do that? This team has let me down time and time again. Is it worth it anymore?

Yes and it always will be.

For those of you that completely cast the Cubs aside for this "emotional distraught" they have caused you I hope you follow through with your word.

I expect to see your ALL of your Cubs memorabilia on eBay tomorrow and I expect you to delete your BCB account, too. Like I said follow through with your word.

The rest of the die-hards and I bid you bon-voyage.

I am, too, getting sick of these posts. It was fine at first as a way to vent but now it has gotten to the point where RANDOM people (this post is this guys ONLY post) just start popping up beating a dead horse.

Dear Cubs

I was listening to the radio one day and heard about you. I never watched a game before in my life and when people say Ernie Banks I think they must mean the Cubs first multi million dollar player and they nicknamed Banks because of the money he made. And who the heck is this Sandberg guy?

I watched the game the next day and saw Kerry Woods close. Wow he must be a new player. Never heard of him before.

Now that you lost I am off your bandwagon.

Bye bye

Typical bandwagon jumping whiny fan

Cubs response

Dear Bandwagon jumping whiner:

Got along without you before we met you and while we will miss the money from the 20 beers you bought per game we will be fine after you’re gone.

And don’t let the door hit ya where the good lord split ya.

One idea will be to post a thread. Let’s have our catharsis and get it over with. And no more catharsis from now on,

We feel bad that we let you down. Many a hot summer day, we’d be sitting in the dugout, enjoying the fine play of our teammates, anticipating the sweet rewards of victory, but yet something was bothering us. We didn’t really know how you felt about it.

We’d wonder, sometimes aloud, how does Jeff Gilleland feel about what we accomplished here today? Would he be truly happy with the way we played, and if not, what could we do to correct it? Oh sure, there were always the 40,000 or so screaming fans in the stands, giddy with the sweet joy of watching winning baseball in the glorious cathedral of Wrigley Field, raining down their adulation on us…but absent your approval, Jeff, it just didn’t mean anything.

Well, Jeff, let me just say again, for the team, we are truly sorry for our failure to do a good job for you. To a man, we feel like, if no one but Jeff shows up to support us next year, why, we’ll still go out there and play like champions, because frankly, you deserve it. We will be sporting our WWJT (What Would Jeff Think) T-shirts under our uniform tops, and we hope you appreciate the gesture.

Looking forward to seeing whether you give a damn next year, Jeff. We’ll be trying our best for you. And if you don’t show, well…we don’t want to think about it. I guess we’ll just have to muddle through with the millions of others who’ll be there. It’s not going to be easy.

Sincerely,
The Chicago Cubs

one more ticket oppertunity for me

hit you in the ass on the way out.

I think you’ve all misinterpreted the author’s point. You are taking his essay way too seriously. Haven’t things been awful enough that you all have to jump on him?

I thought it was a clever angle, and the guy gets flamed.

He’s expressing his own disillusionment in his own way. It may not be yours. To immediately assume he’s a bandwagon fan doesn’t make any sense to me.

He may be the healthiest one here. If knocking yourself on the head with a hammer hurts — don’t do it any more. Problem solved.

Lighten up. I feel as bad as all of you do. Don’t bash this guy. Take your frustration out on plumbing fixtures, preferably — the next time you visit Chavez Ravine.

I didn’t see any full-page newspaper ads from any of the players thanking us for their support, ala Eric Karros’ gesture in 2003.

Flame the 2008 Cubs, not jeffreybruce.
