Cygnus Q'ol Posted May 15, 2006 Posted May 15, 2006 Or as the true Cubs fans always say before the end of May, "Wait 'til next year." I didn't want to say it. But, since you did, Look out jimbo, you're within striking range. Oh, by the way, Happy Anniversary guys! May you have many, many more.
Jae Onasi Posted May 15, 2006 Author Posted May 15, 2006 As one WGN sportscaster said, if Dusty wasn't Dusty Baker, he'd be fired by now for the horrendous performance over the last 2 weeks. Here's a Clue, Dusty--if it didn't work the first 8 times, it's not going to work on time 11 or 14, either....It's time to try something different, unless we're deciding in May that we want to be so bad that we earn the #1 draft pick. Ugh. I didn't want to say it. But, since you did, Look out jimbo, you're within striking range. You mean, he was in striking range.... (Jae gives an evil cackle....) Oh, by the way, Happy Anniversary guys! May you have many, many more. Thank you! He'll make it to 17 in spite of his delusions of Cardinal grandeur. Or my delusions of Cub grandeur. I'm not sure which anymore.
Point Man Posted May 16, 2006 Posted May 16, 2006 Thank you! He'll make it to 17 in spite of his delusions of Cardinal grandeur. Or my delusions of Cub grandeur. I'm not sure which anymore. Just check the standings for your answer.
Cygnus Q'ol Posted May 16, 2006 Posted May 16, 2006 Just check the standings for your answer. OOOH! MTFreallyBWY
Cygnus Q'ol Posted June 27, 2006 Posted June 27, 2006 Hope Jae had something better to do yesterday. Brewers were in town!!! 6 -0 ???? (and against Maddux...) Rematch Tonite 7pm central. Payback?
Jae Onasi Posted June 27, 2006 Author Posted June 27, 2006 I told Jimbo last night, "I wonder when Cygnus is going to post on the Cubs thread about the Brewers win?" Heh. I think Zambrano's pitching, so you may be in trouble today. Or not, since the Cubs really suck right now.
Commander Obi-Wan Posted June 28, 2006 Posted June 28, 2006 Or not, since the Cubs have always sucked. Fixed. The Cubs lost.
Jae Onasi Posted June 28, 2006 Author Posted June 28, 2006 Yes, once again the Cubs managed to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. Grrrr.
Jae Onasi Posted June 28, 2006 Author Posted June 28, 2006 What's their record now? Are you nuts? You're ruining my one moment of happiness all year! We're third right now. I'm just not going to mention it's third from the bottom.
Commander Obi-Wan Posted June 29, 2006 Posted June 29, 2006 28 June: Cubs Win! Cubs Win! Cubs Win! You're lucky the Pirates have lost 13 in a row.
Cygnus Q'ol Posted June 29, 2006 Posted June 29, 2006 @JAE. OOOOOHHHH!! That D@MN Derrick Lee! GRUUNNNNPH! Dan Kolb should be sent straight to the minors for that effort. ...meatball right down the middle, as if on a tee. To Derrick of all people. "Here Derrick, you've been away for a while. How about enjoying a nice, game tying, two run homer?" Oh well, another shot tonite. We'll see what Dougie can do. I do love Wrigley field though. I've seen a few games there and it really doesn't get much better. Awesome time. Definately need a designated for that. Why is everyone hatin' on Dusty. He's not the one taking the mound nor do I ever see Dusty in the batter's box. It's not his fault the guys are strugglin'. Hope they work out of it, but not too soon. @Commander PIRATES?!? UUUUUGGGH!! They absolutely detroyed the Brewers last time. I can't disscuss them any further, lest I be banned!
Jae Onasi Posted June 29, 2006 Author Posted June 29, 2006 @Jae, Sorry, I was just curious. Well, if we win 5 and Cards lose 5, we'll be back in single digits out of first place in our division. Yeah, Wrigley's great. Fabulous atmosphere. We usually drive down either to Waukegan (a lot more trains stop there later so the schedule is more flexible) or Evanston. If we go to Waukegan, we get on the Metra, get off in Evanston, and take the L down to Wrigley. If we drive to Evanston, we park in a nearby parking garage and hop on the L there. Then there's not so much of a parking issue, and less driving issues. I love it when the ivy turns color in the fall--gorgeous, except I think we're going to be well out of the race before we get a chance to see that this year. I know Dusty's not the one in the box or on the mound, but he's the guy who decides who is there. I'm not knocking Dusty at all--I think his hands are tied by the guys he has to work with and all the injury problems, and quite possibly the front office. I can't believe they're playing this awful when they have some decent players and pitchers. Poor Ron Santo is just beside himself. I hope they start winning before they give the guy a heart attack.
Cygnus Q'ol Posted June 29, 2006 Posted June 29, 2006 I feel for ya. ...kinda. Take any team, even Jimbo's beloved Cards and start the season without the #1 and #2 aces. Then, take away the #1 run producer on the team and see where they go. (OK, maybe the Cards have a couple more guys to lean on but, they still would be depleted and the bullpen over-worked.) Cubbies were bitten hard with the injury bug's incisors this year. But, guys like Pierre and Perez still haven't given up. The Brewers are trying to breathe some life into a cadaver of an offense with some really young and talented but severely unexperienced players while Lee and Jenkins have been playing good support roles for the noobs. But the pitching, OH!! the pitching...
Commander Obi-Wan Posted June 29, 2006 Posted June 29, 2006 Well, if we win 5 and Cards lose 5, we'll be back in single digits out of first place in our division. Gotta love the fact that we're not even half way through the season.
Jae Onasi Posted July 1, 2006 Author Posted July 1, 2006 Found this article in the online version of The Onion (a newspaper that sarcastically lampoons anything and everything). All of us Cub fans can totally relate. Disabled List Offers Mark Prior Two-Year, $8 Million Extension
Jae Onasi Posted July 3, 2006 Author Posted July 3, 2006 Woohoo! Zambrano gets to go to the All-Star game! And even better--he hit a 2-run homer in the first against the White Sox today to put them up 7-2 in just the first inning. Finally, some offense--winning 15-11 today. Hopefully, they'll keep the offense up from now on. Hey, I need to hold on to my dreams, eh?
REDJOHNNYMIKE Posted July 3, 2006 Posted July 3, 2006 You have dreams about the cubs keeping their "offense" up? Have you discussed this with Jimbo?
Jae Onasi Posted July 3, 2006 Author Posted July 3, 2006 You naughty RJM you. This thread is about baseball, not...well, it's just about baseball.
Commander Obi-Wan Posted July 4, 2006 Posted July 4, 2006 Cubs lost. And the Blue Jays ahve 5 playas attending the all-star game.
Jae Onasi Posted July 4, 2006 Author Posted July 4, 2006 Yeah, the Cubs apparently are doing their best to avoid catching up with the Cards. Sigh.... I feel so bad for Ron Santo. He is always so depressed when they lose.
REDJOHNNYMIKE Posted July 4, 2006 Posted July 4, 2006 Why are they doing their best at that? Seems kind of contradictory to the point of attaining success.
