Lou should do some thinking on these two days off.

September 12, 2008
"Why bat you third? I like it when you bat lead off Alfonso."

"I like you better when you don't swing at curveballs in the dirt."

The Cubs squeaked out two wins but not without giving us all heartburn. Right now, we are winning ugly but as I mentioned in the last thread, I would rather be lucky than good.

If Lou is complaining about this team sucking ass the last couple weeks, then why doesn’t he make some changes in the lineup? Bench that piece of shit Derrek “6-4”-Lee for a few days. Play Daryle Ward at first and Micah Hoffpauir in right field but take him out in the later innings for defense. Play Reed Johnson more because Jim Edmonds needs a few days off. ANYTHING TO GET THIS TEAM GOING.

Last but not least, Bud Selig is a moron. Instead of canceling the first two games of the series, why wouldn’t he try to reschedule the games in another ballpark like Arlington or St. Louis? This does not make any sense. The hell with the Astros owner being pissed off. The Astros are still the home team so what is the difference? Must be that 275 foot left field that all of his right handed batters hit the ball too.

– I will have a game thread for this series as soon as the schedule is announced for Sunday and Monday.

– Also, credit to refugee Nemo for giving that asshole Kerry Wood’s new nickname: “Kingsford”. EXCELLENT!

I love the game of baseball. It is the greatest game in the world. Since we can remember, the Cubs have been pissing us all off. We sometimes wonder why do we love this team so much?  Why do we still follow this team?  After every shitty year, we come back for more. This team fucking sucks. Did we really think they were going to breeze through this thing? I think we all would agree here that the answer is a sure “no”. Derrek Lee, Ronny Cedeno, Michael Wuertz and Bob Howry are all huge piles of horse shit.

A four game lead in the division and an eight game lead in the wild card with 19 games left. Only the Cubs can blow this thing. This is depressing.

I guess the only positive of the weekend was the Bears winning against the one-legged Peyton Manning. Don’t let that win fool you. The offensive line still sucks.
