I have faith that the Cubs will come back.
My Mom told me that being a Cubs fan was a great test of faith.

She didn't tell me about the heart attacks,
but she did tell me that it was great going to a WS game (in 1938), and she was sure I would get the same chance some day.

There's plenty positive:
DLee and Soto going yard.
Felix ripped a tough pitch.
Actually I guess that's about all...
In Bo I trust.

No.
Really, you can talk about Lee and Soto's HR you're not going to win many games having two positives. Look at the cons, Soriano and Ramirez did squat again today, Lilly was awful, Howry got ripped, Hart might as well have watched people steal bases, Pie can't hit a cut off man to save his life. This is unacceptable. I don't want to hear any crap about it being "being game number 2", mental mistakes like not hodling someone on and giving to much of a secondary lead, and not hitting cut off men is not acceptable in game 2 or 152. Why on Earth would would you send Ramirez with Fukudome up. I dont' care what the situaton was, he's not fast enough, and doesn't run enough to get a good jump. This team plays like a bunch of old men. Why in the world is it that every team seems to hit the ball. Why is it that terrible teams can score, but the Cubs can't. We couldn't advance runners if the Brewer's were wearing blindfolds high on meth. I know its early, but how can it not be concerning when you look like absolute rubbish against a team you should be jumping out of your pants to play. Give me a break.
Its funny, you spend most of your life gripping a baseball. And in the end, its almost always the other way around.

Nice bullpen, huh.
So when does this advertised wondrous strength of the Cubs show up?
Two games and all runs via the long ball. STILL can't manufacture a bloody run to save our lives.
by MDBNIU on Apr 2, 2008 4:41 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
Yep, after two games they can't manufacture a run
Ai-yi-yi.

Not Bruce...
We better call this a night... it's pointless to try to convince these people of what a baseball season is. Sure we didn't win, but at least we're not invincible like we'd think we'd be if we had won both games. I feel like coming back 2 weeks from now and saying I told you so.

I take it
you weren't in here last season? It can get really depressing listening to some of these guys.

You...
are correct. I'm thinking after the first two games, I'm not gaining as much from these game threads as I thought I would. Sad part is... we are all here because we love the Cubs. But I'd like to see some insightful commentary if possible.

And you're right, sue, if things keep up like this, it is going to be a long season (and I'm not talking about baseball, either).
Do some people just like to be miserable?

from Al to start another game thread on game days so maybe I will tomorrow. Hopefully you will join us in there. I can't stand all of this doom and gloom crap.

Agreed
Being realistic is fine. They certainly aren't off to a good start. That's obvious.
But extrapolating that to a disaster of a season and making judgments based on two games is ridiculous.

why does this game have the feel of a major league team against a group of 6 year olds

in what way did we look like an actual team today, that game was pathetic and tomorrow has the
potential to be much worse with dempster pitching

theriot and fontenot were kinda cute when they played well last year
but they are not major league players by any mean, get people on this team that know what the hell they are doing, we need wins.

I'd say ah well too
But Dumpster's pitching tomorrow. Not good chances. I think the winning streak will have to start with Houston
