  1. Cubs Bears Sox Suck Says:

    I have not watched a Cubs game this season. Ignorance is bliss….

  2. dvxprime Says:

    Jus’ waitin’ for the Black Hawks/Bulls’ playoffs to start…

    You know what’s PATHETIC? Just like the last few years, this team could easily be .500 or slightly above while being in contention for a playoff spot…instead, the bullpen continues to be the gasoline on the fire. The starters, even in previous years, has always been solid. It’s been the bullpen that is the downfall. It’s sad that this dis-organization, after all of these years, CANNOT fix this problem.

    106 years and counting…

    In 2013, 81-85 wins would have been good enough for being behind 1-2 teams for the last wild card.

    In 2012, 81-85 wins would have been good enough for being behind 1-2 teams for the last wild card.

    In 2011, 81-85 wins would have been good enough for being behind 2-3 teams for the wild card.

    So, be around .500 and barely miss the playoffs and not get a high draft pick? or be in the cellar, miss the playoffs and get a nice draft pick?

    I think I like the second option better.

  5. Cubs Bears Sox Suck Says:

    So what your saying is the Cubs have been “tanking” for 106 years? Makes sense.

  6. chucky Says:

    I see that the fine offense of the Chicago Cubs is on full display again today. Three whole hits. Amazing output.

    Fuck this goddamned team, man. And Genre, you left off some names in that poll. You forgot dork, idiot, shithead, and massive douchecopter. Don’t worry pal, I got you covered.

  7. chucky Says:

    That “Ricky” Renteria sure is a fucking genius. The Cubs, who can’t seem to buy a fucking run has Derwood Barney, who can’t even hit his goddamned weight, starting game 2 tonight at second base. Brilliant fucking strategy you grinning fucking doofus. Fucking go back to San Diego you moron.

    Again, fuck this goddamned team. They deserve to fucking lose.

  8. Pie in the Sky Says:

    Can’t wait until the young guys start coming up. One can only hope that at least some of them pan out…

  9. chucky Says:

    Damn, no kidding. They sure aren’t getting anything from this bunch of losers, pitchers excluded. If I were one of the starts I’d be pissed at the lack of run support.

  10. chucky Says:

    Fuck me. Two games, 18 innings. 0 runs, 8 hits.

    Excuse me while I bash my face in with a fucking brick. This was beyond PATHETIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  11. genrebuster Says:

    What a shitstorm. Apparently it doesn’t take much to make Yeti happy…he’s a lucky guy!

  12. Matt Stairs Superfan Says:

    Hey look…our favorite stat geek has made another cameo.

    Yeti…come on. Don’t you want this team to get better? You want them to continue finishing at the bottom for draft picks? As patient as some of us are suppose to be, the results are coming fast enough.

    As far as your point about wins…did it ever occur to you that if they had that record, some of those wins you talked about would have came against contending teams? They finished with what…65-70 wins? Add 11 more and those ones could have came against teams they were fighting for spots were. But that’s okay…come back when you have more stats on Kevin Gregg, will you?

  13. Yeti Says:

    That’s a fair point, but it would depend on who’s ahead of them. If it’s a divisional opponent, then there would be a decent chance there’d be a large swing, but it’s not guaranteed.

    No, I’m hoping they’ll start to be good next year as the young guys will likely be coming up or already up, and hopefully there’s someone out there they’ll want to sign

  14. chucky Says:

    Who the fuck has voted “Genius” in that poll 3 times? Are you fucking kidding me? Ricketts can be called a lot things. Genius is not one of them.
