Yeah, this is some bullshit.

What do you want to bet in the next year or two, it's called Bud Ice Field or some shit? :x :x

It may have been tradition, but that is a horrible tasting beer!!

So, how about those Bears.

I'm hoping this Bears season will ease the pain of this terrible, terrible Cubs season.


I love the Packers

Keep Old Style at Wrigley!

Nice of us to just hand homefield to STL, ugh, anyone but them in the NL. Buddy of mine was out last night in STL and said Castro was at the casino he was at partying it up, so I fully expect STL to win today and get homefield. Pulling for PIT in the NL.

PJ-Cubs

Happy to say this season is over.

I expected us to be bad but am very worried about the lack of progress from Castro and Rizzo

hey, coming from a cards fan, i just want you all to know that you feel the same way about the cubs as i feel about my blues. sometimes it feels like it is never, ever gonna happen. if it can happen for the shitty rams, it will definitely happen for you cubs fans. you all deserve to win one. you have suffered long enough. and as a life long cards fan, i always say that the cubs will have my full support once they make it back to the playoffs.

if i could ever do it, i would gladly trade a world series trophy for the cup that you all will no doubt win again this year.

I hate the cardinals. maybe more than I love the cubs. but that was a cool thing to say. thanks.

no worries man. a lot of people hate the cardinals. you aren't gonna offend me.

i'm not one of these guys that is gonna throw it in cubs fans' faces. it is a sore subject and it stings. just like when people rub it in about the blues. when i was younger i might have done that, but having been to wrigley and seeing the passion of cubs fans, i could never talk shit on your guys. it only makes me hope that much harder that you all win one.

i was just letting you all know how i feel and that i hope you all get one soon.

adios to the stopgap sveum

Last-12-Exit

I wish they had hired sandberg instead. They could have shit canned sveum at the all star break and grabbed ryno.

cubBEE_girl

Sveum is gone. Not surprised. And I feel the way about his firing as his hiring...which is meh. I feel a little bad for him because it is not all his fault...he didn't have much to work with, but I don't think he was right for that job. So, hopefully he can find something that's a better fit for him and maybe we can just hire the entire Cardinals team from ball boy to office staff and finally have a good team. :fp:



i love the packers.

I agree that Sveum had nothing to work with but he did NOTHING to help the youngsters develop. Rizzo and Castro both seemed to regress this season.

I agree with you on that. Rizzo and Castro have both regressed this season.

couldn't agree less :shock:

mca47

Sveum was just a placeholder until they landed a manager with cred who will coach the Cubs, fail then retire.

I hear Girardi is a top candidate. Always liked Joe, but what could he.., or what could the BEST manager in baseball history....do with this shitty team? :fp:

I do think they need a guy who can bust some ass (or bench some ass) like Joe, but I still wish they went with Ryno. :x :fp:

pureoc

You can't start a rebuild with a new mgr and only let him manage 2 years, that's not enough time. I think we are actually taking a step back by hiring a new mgr and prolonging the rebuild. This can't be on sveum as he was given a shitty team. Wish Rizzo wouldn't have taken a step back, but Castro is just a piece of shit who we shouldn't have signed to a long term deal in the first place. Typical Cubs. Girardi? He only won one title with all that money and talent in NY. He also is the only yankee mgr to miss the playoffs twice in the past 19 years. We should have just hired Sandberg when we had the chance.

SPEEDY MCCREADY

So lets look at Mr. Epstein over the last 2 years.

196 losses? Or is it 197?
He gave Edwin Jackson a Gazillion dollar contract? Jackson lost 18 games?
Castro and his .245 avg. got a long term deal?
Rizzo and his .230 avg. got a long term deal?

And it was 2 years ago when all the Cub fans were giving Mr. Epstein a standing ovation.

And I don't want to hear a fucking thing about the farm system.
I will believe that bullshit, when those players actually make it to the Big Leagues, and produce.

SPEEDY MCCREADY

Baylor was going to be the savior
Dusty was going to be the savior.
Lets bring Maddux back.
Lets bring Ryno back.

And now Girardi is going to be the savior.
The Cubs organization is so full of shit.

SPEEDY MCCREADY

The only POSITIVE from the Theo Epstein era?
There are a lot more empty seats at Wrigley.
Which I am sure makes the owner, ole Jiminy Rickets, just THRILLED.

The Epstein era?

SPEEDY MCCREADY

So lets look at The Cubs situation.

They have a shortstop and a 1st baseman locked into long term deals....Neither hit over .245 this year.
They have a pitcher locked into a long term deal, who lost 18 games this year.
They need a 3rd baseman
A second baseman who can hit his weight.
A left fielder
A center fielder
A right fielder.
4 starting pitchers (Samargarine is a bust out)
2-3 middle relievers.
And a closer.

But have no fear.
Girardi is our new savior!
