I want to personally apologize to all of you for the recent Cubs losses

Over the last 9 games, 5 times I avoided seeing the score and then listened to the gameday archive while following the game threads here. We won all of those, often quite dramatically.

The other 4 of those last 9 games, I just checked the score after the fact and did not listen to the game — and we lost all of those…

my bad… ;)

Soto to the plate.

I'm a Cubs FANATIC. They are my team, through thick and thin. When they play over their heads, and when they play under the gutter. When they win the division, and then get swept in the division series. When they get no-hitters and when they blow no-hitters. And some day, when they go all the way and get those rings. This is the kind of fan I am.

Judd is done.

whew. Soto takes outside, 2-1.

I'm a Cubs FANATIC. They are my team, through thick and thin. When they play over their heads, and when they play under the gutter. When they win the division, and then get swept in the division series. When they get no-hitters and when they blow no-hitters. And some day, when they go all the way and get those rings. This is the kind of fan I am.

McCarver is an idiot

I could not believe his reasoning for why Lou left Dempster in.

On the other hand, it could have been Joe Morgan playing the idiot.

That Lou was probably letting him stay in to maybe get the decision, because the Cubs expected to score some runs for him and get him the win.

Good story.

Yesterday at the game I was booing Ozzie. The old lady next to me gave me a dirty look. I said, sorry I just don’t like him. She responded with “how can you not like him, you can’t understand anything he says!”
