I think this team is fine

this is a bad division and the brewers cant play ahead of the pack for long.

tommorow would be a nice win

4/29/2007 12:46:17 AM

RIP Josh Hancock

4/29/2007 1:37:16 PM

RIP Josh Hancock

4/29/2007 2:44:54 PM

8-1 in last 9 games and 2nd place in the central. Now all we have to do is wait for Milwaukee to collapse and cruise into October. And a great comeback win today.

5/6/2007 11:49:05 PM

gg cubs

5/7/2007 3:41:39 AM

soriano at 15 games hit streak and counting

5/7/2007 3:46:57 AM

Why am I not suprised it was you who made this thread?

5/7/2007 4:17:33 AM

i dunno

wtf are you doing in sports talk?

5/7/2007 4:23:00 AM

jamz0r is the brother of someone I know

His bro is a sox fan

5/7/2007 4:57:27 AM

gg Cubs, deserve the day off today before the Pirates come to the Friendly Confines for a midweek series

5/7/2007 7:11:35 AM

fair enough

5/7/2007 3:43:51 PM

good ole Lou is managing his fucking ass off, he had to have used every player on the roster for that game against the Nats yesterday. I think he's starting to put the pieces into place and it should only get better through the season. I hope these fuckers make the playoffs this season or else I won't be watching them again.

5/7/2007 7:02:18 PM

that's the spirit!

5/7/2007 7:45:15 PM

Can the Cubbies make it 6 wins in a row? Find out tonight!

5/8/2007 5:41:48 PM

Crush 4-3 L in 15
Hopefully can rebound tomorrow

5/9/2007 1:21:13 AM

I tried to stay up watching the espn gamecast, but it was so slow in refreshing I finally gave up in the 14th. Glad I did, but damm cubbies back at .500. At least the white sox lost.

5/9/2007 9:55:23 AM

Complete game shutout last night, won 1-0

Had a no no through like 6 innings

5/10/2007 12:54:53 PM

God Dammit.

Mets score 5 in the bottom of the 9th to win 6-5.

Ryan Fucking Dumpster.

5/17/2007 3:43:16 PM

There just aren't words to describe how bad the bullpen is playing right now.

5/17/2007 6:14:23 PM

today was a fucking disaster

so of course the brewers (who are fucking trash by the way) found a way to win

i mean, 7 games back on a bullshit team...lets pick up the fucking pace

5/17/2007 9:22:24 PM

Yesterday was indeed a disaster but nice to see some runs scored against a good white sox defense. Dempster decided to pull his head out of his ass I see.

5/18/2007 5:41:18 PM

bump for a new month to (hopefully) rack up some Ws

6/1/2007 6:22:47 PM

not gonna happen if you keep making those errors and your players keep fighting each other in the clubhouse/dugout

6/1/2007 6:50:11 PM

that shit was funnnnnnnnny! zambrano and barrett should be TERMINATED

6/1/2007 7:42:54 PM

Quote :

"Carlos Zambrano and Michael Barrett may need to go to their rooms on Saturday. The pitcher and the catcher will be disciplined by the Cubs following their fight on Friday, MLB.com reveals. The two fought in the dugout and later resumed their fisticuffs in the locker room. Barrett went to the hospital due to a cut on his lip. Manager Lou Piniella will handle the punishment, team officials explain. Both players will likely be fined, but we doubt either Zambrano or Barrett will miss any time."

6/2/2007 1:07:56 AM

Please contract this franchise. Pitiful...

6/2/2007 3:33:29 PM

i don't see how barrett should be fined, zambrano is the one who was being the asshole, unless its for being a big pussy and getting fucked up

6/2/2007 3:34:49 PM

Sweet Lou got tossed, hate I missed the video of that. I hope it was a classic Sweet Lou ejection so maybe it'll be on ESPN tonite.

6/2/2007 3:39:18 PM

^classic sweet lou, definitely. Kicked the hat atleast 4 times, and started kickin dirt on the umpire.

6/2/2007 3:40:59 PM

It was probably one of the Top 5 ejections in baseball history. He kicked dirt on the umpire like 10 times and kicked his own hat at least a half dozen on top of the classic Earl Weaver style argument.. good stuff.

6/2/2007 3:43:15 PM

i didnt know blood rushed to your face that quickly, lol

6/2/2007 3:44:32 PM

it was a pretty sweet ejection... very nice on the hat kick... but the guy was clearly out at 3rd

6/2/2007 3:45:07 PM

he was clearly out when they played the super zoom camera angle

clearly out by about 1/100th of a centimeter

6/2/2007 3:47:10 PM

it was clear on the regular speed angle too. The glove was down over his hands before the guy made it. Hell, his fingers even popped up over the glove

the ump got it right, I don't get your point... whether it's 1/100th of a cm or 10 feet, the guy was still out and sweet lou looked like a friggin moron out there today

6/2/2007 7:01:19 PM

You don't want to be treated like a man!

6/2/2007 7:30:02 PM

meh. I've seen better meltdowns from Sweet Lou, he's getting mellow in his old age.

6/2/2007 7:44:35 PM

Best Cubs manager ejection in a long time, though

to the naked eye there is absolutely no way you could say he was clearly out

the right call was made, more or less by chance

6/3/2007 9:56:09 AM

good ole Lou got suspended indefinitely for making contact with the ump

http://wral.com/sports/baseball/mlb/story/1465722/

BALLS!!!

6/3/2007 12:41:33 PM

I personally think MLB is going overboard on protecting Umpires. The Umps today are clearly more irritable judging by the number of ejections this week they have gotten power hunger. I actually think officials in every sport are trying to get a more central role in athletic competitions instead of being there to enforce the rules they want there highlights on SC. Not saying what that Lou didn't deserve to be ejected but Umps seem to be quicker to eject on a disagreement over a call. The younger umpires seem to be the quickest tempered and the ump yesterday caused the escalation of the argument instead of trying to difuse it and walk away from it. Just my two cents.

6/3/2007 12:54:46 PM

The way the cubs played today, Lou might not make it back...

6/3/2007 4:06:34 PM

joe girardi for coach

6/3/2007 4:40:48 PM

4 game suspension...no big deal, trammell is perfectly capable

this is a big time series right now and tonight was a good win

6/4/2007 11:59:39 PM

Soriano is 3-3 with 3 homeruns.

I dont know what in the hell has gotten into him lately, but I <3 it!!!

too bad all of those homers are solos.

6/8/2007 8:52:44 PM

Good job Sori! He is just getting healthy again but he has always piled on the solo HRs and not been a great hitter w/ RISP. Just the way he is... but he is a solid all star caliber player year in and year out and has adjusted pretty well to the OF...

Hopefully the Cubs sweep this weekend.

6/8/2007 8:57:56 PM

I sense an alterior motive from a Mets fan ^here^.

6/8/2007 9:00:51 PM

Bullshit call on Lilly getting tossed. It's not like he was throwing at Renteria with the first pitch of the at-bat or the first pitch of the game. Oh wait, that was Hudson yesterday.

"As Cubs prospect and former Notre Dame star receiver Jeff Samardzija warmed up for his season debut in April, the Brevard County (Fla.) Manatees blasted the USC fight song over the sound system. Samardzija is 0-5 this season. The Cubs bought him out of a possible NFL career in January, guaranteeing him $10 million. He has started 11 games this season, winning none, with a 5.75 ERA, a .349 opponents' batting average and only 20 strikeouts in 52 innings. The Cubs moved him to the bullpen last week."
