    I'm going to the game on Saturday.
    :D

    Can't wait!

    Sitting in the 75 degree sun, drinking some Old Style, watching the Cubbies play the White Sux.

    Gonna be a great day!
    :D

    Nice to see Silva stink it up yesterday. Just cut his fat ass, but they won't because he's getting too much money.

    TRADE LEE AND RAMIREZ WHILE YOU CAN!

    this is a bad team without a 4 or 5th starter, unproven closer (marmol), weak middle relief, a lame-duck manager. don't wait until these stars lose value (sammy for hairston and bags of balls, pie for crap, patterson for nothing).

    this team really sucks.

    Man -- this is the first year in a while I go in with no hope. They did nothing in the offseason and have just as many problems as before...

    I guess if I don't have high hopes my disappointment won't be as big this time? :(

    And to be honest I had no hope for them until they went all Yankees over the free agency!

    But I'll take it... they actually could do something with the moves they made and if they can get Atogwe.

    but that's another thread... I just hope the Cubs have a trick up their sleeve. I just don't see it though - they really passed on FA this year and made no real moves otherwise.

    Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski on the Blue Devils living up to standards of past teams:

    "For a while when I dated my wife, I had trouble living up to the expectations of her former boyfriend. Just judge people for who they are right now. We're not the Yankees. WE'RE NOT, THANK GOODNESS, THE CUBS. It's different. It's college, just give them an opportunity."
  • pureocpureoc Posts: 2,383
    Well it's just about time. Anyone see Tim Kurkijan say on ESPN tonight that "Dusty Baker" is gonna try and find playing time for Colvin, and then have Ravich correct him and say Lou Pinella. Funny stuff. Watched the "What it means to be a Cub" special on WGN, they ended with "Someday We'll go all the way" as the credits scrolled. Good stuff. Let's go Cubs, all though I'm predicting 77 wins.

    IF we can stay healthy, I fully expect the Cubs to battle for the division.
    That said, I also fully expect them to get swept in the first round of the playoffs. :(

    Can somebody give me an update on the Cubs game? Did Zambrano get kicked out yet???

  • pureocpureoc Posts: 2,383
    Thanks for nothing Zambrano. Also another example of why Samardzija should be in AAA.

    Just another garbage performance. This team just isn't good. It's becoming quite obvious we have another Jerome Walton on our hands with Soto.

    Jerome Walton...there is a name I haven't heard in a long time! :D


    Anyways...
    Demp pitched a good game. The pen (Grabow...the fuck!) fucked it up.


    When do you suppose Lee will start warming up?
    I know he's a slow starter but c'mon!!!!

    It is only going to get better....

    Lilly?? He is coming off shoulder surgery. I dont expect a damned thing from him.

    3 rookies in the bullpen? I expect to see what happened last night, happen quite often.

    Soriano? The worst free agent signing in the history of baseball?

    Fukudumbass? 48 million for that guy? Give me a break!

    Zambrano? 18 million a year, and he is a mediocre pitcher, who is a fucking headcase.

    Soto? Ill give him another year. Lets just hope it was the sophmore jinx.


    This year has the potential to be a complete and total debacle.
