What is the one word to describe your feelings?

by SonnyJ9 on Oct 3, 2008 7:43 AM CDT

I would have to say mine is DISGUST. This goes way beyond disappointed, discouraged, or upset, this is truly disgusting. In my opinion this is worse than 2003 and does not even come close to 2007. '84 was disappointing, '03 was upsetting, '07 was discouraging, this is just disgusting.

Really, can you even imagine attending the Cubs Convention this year? For what, to hear about all the hope in 2009? How they learned their lesson in the 2008 and 2007 playoffs?

–verb (used with object)

1.	to cause loathing or nausea in.

2.	to offend the good taste, moral sense, etc., of; cause extreme dislike or revulsion in: Your vulgar remarks disgust me.

–noun

3.	a strong distaste; nausea; loathing.

4.	repugnance caused by something offensive; strong aversion: He left the room in disgust

Perplexed....

…on how a talented team could look so poorly 2 years in a row. That’s all. Not even mad anymore……

Should be an interesting off season....

First word: "Disappointed"

Second word: “Again”

That being said, there is no reason for optimism for the balance of this series, BUT...

you never know. Things are usually darkest before the dawn and all that, but until L.A. wins a third game in this series, it’s not over. Maybe that happens Saturday, maybe Sunday, maybe Tuesday, maybe NEVER.

It ain’t over until the fat lady sings…

(I know this sounds pollyannaish and all, but what else have we got folks?)

But I guess I’ve been hanging out here long enough to accept it as inevitable. Just sprinkle your thoughts and wise cracks as inspiration strikes and ignore the rest.

Why

Why us? What did we do to deserve this. I hate the Division Series. It is too short for having a great season.

by CubFaninStLouis on Oct 3, 2008 8:08 AM CDT 0 recs

Dejected

I had great hope for this team and its ability to outperform. The season is not over, yet, and I will hold out hope until the final out. To imply that this is anywhere on par with 2003 is gross overreaction. 1. the series is still going. 2. The team has lead no series and is still 7 wins away from going to the WS.

I expected better than last year and look for this team to make the Dodgers work for their supper.

I disagree

This team is better than the 03 team and the Marlins are way better than this Dodger team.

Disappointed.

It would have been so much smarter to have become a Cards fan when we moved to St. Louis 25 years ago. Couldn’t do it then, can’t do it now.

HOPEFUL

maybe i’m a dumb ass cubs fan, but isn’t hope all we ever have as fans? somebody will break out of their slump and take down the dodgers single handedly a la steve garvey in ’84.

It's not that you are a dumb ass, but

that you are a fan while the season continues.

Harden

Our ace vs. Kuroda. It’s not over yet.

by dr stabbingworth on Oct 3, 2008 8:55 AM CDT 0 recs

amen .. but

Kuroda owned us last time we saw him. They better have scouted him as best as they can. I hope the Cubs hole up in the locker room and watch the game they got spanked in when he pitched against us. He was a cold stone wall that they do NOT need to beat up on ..

Well, Next Year is here .. and Jack's century's gotta end some time .. GO CUBBIES!

by cubnational on Oct 3, 2008 8:57 AM CDT up 0 recs

Cheated

I watched the Cubs play all Summer and look like the best Cub team I’ve ever seen. Heck, the best team in baseball!

It’s not the losing that hurts so much, it’s the WAY they have lost the first 2 games of this series. They have beaten themselves, first by walking the world and then by not making defensive plays.

What is so disheartening is this is the worst I’ve seen this team play all year. I am in total shock about how they’ve played.

How can it end like this? I pray that they will make a comeback because as bad as they’ve played in the last 2 games, they still have a chance.

And THIS situation is why Jim Hendy traded for Rich Harden.

It will seem like an eternity until Saturday night but there still is hope! They can win 3 games in a row, they’ve done that all year long.

Go Cubs!

Hey, it's a new century!

Frustrated

…by so many things…

Most importantly, the lack of the ability to learn by our current club…including the management in the dugout…not enough time or patience to gripe anymore, everyone has the same feelings anyways…

A lot of good words up there...

this is not at all what we imagined but as hard as it is to keep on hoping, it’s not over yet. like someone said in another thread, i’m going to step back and take a breather today. we need it as much as the team does.
