Fire Ryan Poles | Fire Ben Johnson

"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.

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.
