That's a lot of money for a guy who can't hit .240, run the bases, catch a pop-up, or count to 3.
History has shown that once you hit the Wrigley "boo list" you are pretty much not coming back from it...
Its sad that Jim Hendry signed him over Ibanez. Lou fucking hates MB and did from the start. As bad as this team is its amazing they are only 3.5 back. They went from leading the league in runs last year to this garbage, and dont tell me its gonna be all gravy when AR comes back (could be August by then), they need major changes immediately.
These guys suck, they are a pathetic display of a baseball team (well not the starting pitching, but everyone else). Despite this we are only 2.5 games out of first.

The friggin yankees scored more runs today than the Cubs have in their last 7 games-Ouch. To be just 2.5 back is amazing, feels like this team should be in last place.

Yeah, it feels like the season should more or less be over.

The fact that both teams suck and this is being played during the week is making the crosstown classic a lot less exciting for me. Well, I guess I'm just not looking forward to it as much as I usually am. Once the games get goin here, I'm sure I'll be into it. Too bad there are 2 day games in the middle of the week.

Yeah, this series is def. lacking the excitement of the last few years. Having both teams sucking ass is probably the biggest reason... :(

Either way...
Go Cubs!
Yeah, I dunno how much baseball we'll be seeing this October in Chicago. But, a lot of things can change before then.
Hopefully they can get the game in tonight....looks like it's supposed to rain most of the night.
Hopefully they get it in. I'm going to the game Friday vs. Cleveland and a buddy and I were just gonna go to a bar and watch the game Thur. Well I went to Cubs.com today and was able to get 2 tickets together in Sec. 38 right by the Sox bullpen and couldn't pass em up. Hopefully the weather cooperates Thur. GO CUBS!!

I'm a 32 year old Cubs fan. Been a fan since 1984 when I was 7. This year, it's the same old Cubs. Underachieving, poor fundamentals, accepted mediocrity, etc. It's tolerated year after year by yuppy-ass Cubs fans that keep pouring into that stadium. You're dealing with morons that sing "Go Cubs Go", possibly the lamest song ever created in the history of man, after every home victory. I watch it when I feel like it, but over the years my trips to Wrigley have become fewer and farther between. Even the TV viewing has gotten difficult to take with true company men, Len & Bob scared as shit to tell the truth about the shit baseball being played. Bring back Harry from the dead, give Steve Stone a call and encourage him to speak his mind, and for the love of God quit singing that hideous fucking "Go Cubs Go" horseshit.

Thank you.
I respectfully disagree with you. Although "Go Cubs Go" is pretty awful, there are many sports related songs that are much worse. Take this hunk of steaming shit:
This series will mark the beginning of the Cubs collapse.....
Then they will get swept next weekend by the White Sox....
I like the sound of that Speedy.
What's the deal with Lou and not having the balls to pull any of these guys playing like shit from the lineup?
He said yesterday that "changes" are coming and today's lineup is pretty much the same. I think he's officially losing his mind. But his press conferences are still great.

I guess it is tough to pull your leadoff man who is making $140 million....
they signed Fukudumbass to over $40 million...
Bradley is at $30 million.....
Soto was rookie of the year last year.....
HE HAD NO CHOICE but to give these guys a few months to see if they could pull it together.....But NOW is the time to change things....
Drop Sorryano to 5th or 6th in the lineup...for starters...
Take me piece by piece..... Till there aint nothing left worth taking away from me.....

Yeah, Hendry has definitely made some questionable moves.
Aramis being out is really killing the Cubs.
Soriano definitely needs to be put on the bench for a few days and then dropped to 5th-6th in the lineup when he comes back.
Both teams are lucky to be in shit divisions and not be that far out of it yet.
But don't worry, the Bears start training camp in 5 weeks!!

Damn Chicago weather!
So as of now the game isn't scheduled to be made up. I sure hope it is at some point!
LOL!
Even as a diehard Cubs fan, I knew he did it...even then.
The guy ballooned up in no-time!
