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.

I am not going to calm down and no one on this site should be told that by anybody.

We are REAL Cubs fans. Not the 38,000 out of 40,000 rich business fuckers who pack Wrigley Field who do not know a damn thing about the Cubs. Not the ones who say “Go Cubs”, wear the apparel and yet, do not follow this team on a daily basis. We expect collapes at any moment. I am not saying the season is over. I am not saying the Cubs are going to fall. Going into September, they will have a 4.5 game lead on the Brewers. However, the Phillies have proved that they are a BETTER team than the Cubs. Like it or not, they are and it wouldn’t fucking surprise me if they run away with the NL title. As of right now, they are the best team in the league. They should of won the first two games rather easily and we got lucky winning them.

Even though the Cubs still have the best record in baseball, the fact of of the matter is that the Brewers are right on us STILL.

People come into my work and tell me to calm down when the Cubs are losing and some of these people do not know a damn thing about baseball. I am tired of it.

Bob Howry and Ryan Dempster doing some acting. Maybe “Brown Spot” Bob has another job once he gets let go by the Cubs.

When someone has a no-hitter/perfect game going, do not say they have one going. That is why they show the boxscore after every inning to tell you what is going on. I understand the commentator is suppose to inform but that is one thing you do not do.

He has been doing this for the last couple years and he has done it almost every time Harden had one in the early innings. He did it again Wednesday night when Lilly was pitching. At the end of the 5th inning, Len said that Lilly had not given up any hits. In the beginning of the 6th, Lilly gave up a lead-off double. Coincedence? I think not.

It is not coincedence that when an announcer mentions it, that all of a sudden a pitcher gives up a hit or walk. It happens 99% of the time. During a White Sox game on the radio earlier this year would be an example would Gavin Floyd was pitching one. Chris Rongey mentioned it then seconds later, Floyd gave up a hit.

Maybe I am too superstitious but the proof is there.

I like Len a lot and he has gotten better over the few years but seriously, SHUT YOUR FUCKING MOUTH when there is a situation like a no-hitter or perfect game.
