Milton walks
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.

he made the inference that a lot of negativity comes out when the Cubs are not winning
and you told him to shut up. Since then you (and many others) have made several negative posts, seemingly proving his point. So I’m just wondering why you told him to shut up.

it has nothing to do with lazy players
I don’t think the players are lazy. Its just a badly assembled team to begin with, and when you have injuries and underperformers a small problem becomes a disaster. No real leadoff hitter, no team speed, no bullpen, and unexpectantly, no team power.

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.

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.

Riot
pulls another one foul. 3-2.
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.

All year we have failed to take advantage of our opportunities
Eventually, we’ll find ourselves in 4th place! Oh wait, we’re already there!!! We are a joke.
