    Sadly I had to start boozin at 6pm cst to make sure I was loaded enough to deal with this shit ass team. Didn't work.
  • No. Sucks A LOT more for Cubs fans. Year in and year out, going to all these fucking games, while the team raises ticket prices (and beer prices) every year, and you don't get shit out of it in the end.

    the frustration has to be devastating.

    come talk to Speedy about the whole fucking fiasco.

    there is NO joy in mudville. none whatsoever.

    Yeah, if they pull that raise ticket prices bullshit next year, I won't be going to any games at Wrigley next year. Enough is enough. They should fucking lower ticket prices after this joke of a year.

    We have already won more playoffs games this year than the Cubs won in the last 2 years. Cubs and their fans got owned tonight and it makes me happy.

    True, but do you seriously think anyone gives a shit about the Brewers? I mean, they do now that they are in the post season. Middle of summer, Miller Park is full of Cub fans, a.k.a Wrigley North. If they even make it to the World Series (yeah, right) it'll be the least rated Series ever (right after the White Sox!)

    Angels? You think they are going to win 3 straight, including the next two in Fenway?

    As for Fukidome ... man, Cubs fans were going to build a statue of that guy after opening day and the first moth of the season ...

    Anyway ... Cubs aren't far off ... their fans should "keep hope alive" ....

    As much as it pains me to say this, and it really, really does, at least Dusty won a playoff game, and series.

    I am going to regret saying this in April, but right now I can totally understand why people rip on Cubs fans. We are idiots.

    We go to the games, we buy the shirts, we watch ALL the games, we keep track of every little news item and stat, we are constantly on the defensive (which happens if you live in Chicago and you're know a lot of Sox fans), and what does that loyalty get you???? Fucked in the Ass!

    I mean, it's not like it's been 20 or 40 or even 60 years since they won. IT'S BEEN 100 YEARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Get it together, assholes! Give your city and your fans what they have been waiting for!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Ugh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So anyway, how do you think the Bulls will do this year?

    Get off the ledge!!!

    I love how everyone wants to get rid of Soriano and Fukudome and the whole team. We are still looking for scapegoats. There is a lot of blame to go around here.

    Bottom line LA played much better and deserved to win the series. Poor defense and no clutch hitting at all. Look at the numbers, this team is pretty damn good and I am not sure what they shoudl change in the offseason. They need to sign Dempster and Wood but offensively what should we do? Get rid of our RBI machine Aram?

    We scored more runs than any team, ranked 1st in RBIs, OBP and 2nd in BA.

    As for Soriano, a lot of people hate him probably because of his $$$. I am not sure I want to dump his 30hrs and 75 RBIS (In the leadoff spot) He missed some time this year too. Who would we replace him with? Manny? Why did Boston get rid of him? He is clutch but he will be asking for big bucks just like Soriano.

    It hurts now but life goes on people. Hey, Forte looks pretty good doesn't he?
