It's not panic

just frustration. Really, all they need to do this month is play .500, and it’s — the division, that is — is taken care of.

So far, oh-for September.

The only thing keeping me (kind of) sane is

knowing that they all slump at once, and for the most part all snap out of it at once. The Sux went through this earlier this year; now they can’t miss the ball if they try. I’m just hoping against hope that they snap out of it before they lose too much ground to the Brwewers.

Rest assured, the Cubs are well in the leasd for the wildcard, so winning the division is meaningless. I think we all need to keep that in mind.

The White Sox were horrible in September '05

They had a 9 game lead in the division, ended the season with a 1 game lead. Correct me if I’m wrong. If the Cubs slump like they did, they’ll likely barely make the wild card.

Here's a motivational joke for all you ledge jumpers out there

Two guys, “Chi” and “Mil”, go camping. They’re in their tent sleeping, when all of a sudden a loud crash wakes them up, followed by the sounds of something rather large foraging through their camp. Mil starts to whimper and cry “oh my god, what is it?”

Chi sticks his head out of the tent, takes a quick look and then comes back in and says “It’s a bear. Grizzly from the looks of it.”

Mil starts to whimper and cry even louder “oh my god, we’re going to die…”.

Chi sits there for a moment, and then starts to put on his shoes. Mil looks at him and says “what are you doing? are you crazy? You can’t out run a grizzly bear”

Lou looks back at him and then calmly states “I don’t have to outrun the bear. I just have to outrun you…”

“Take me out to the ball game,
Take me out with the crowd.
Buy me some peanuts and cracker jack,
I don’t care if I never get back,
Cause it’s root, root, root for the CUBBIES,
If they don’t win it’s a shame.
For it’s one, two, three strikes, you’re out,
At the old ball game.”

At some point you have to stop chalking it up to “we just got beat tonight” or “we ran into a good pitcher tonight”. We’re going to see nothing BUT good pitchers in the playoffs, so they have to get their heads out of their asses and remember how to hit.

One of the Houston games

(frankly, they’ve blurred together) it seemed like everytme we hit the ball it got caught. Or we made more solid contact than they did but they found holes and we found gloves…

I just don’t know HOW you change that. Its frustrating.
