QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 12, 2016 -> 10:20 AM) Yeah that is the difference between having Hoyer and Cutler behind center. Cutler has the tools to finish drives, Hoyer doesn't. It was so brutal to watch some of those ridiculous games where a journeyman would throw for 280 yards and the Bears would lose.

QUOTE (Lip Man 1 @ Oct 12, 2016 -> 10:00 AM) 2006 team just off the top of my head. I'd also include the 1917 team, the 1964 and 1983 clubs. Again that's off the top of my head without a serious examination. Mark Agreed on 2006. That team majorly underperformed. The first half of that season they looked like the best thing in baseball.

QUOTE (iWin4Ron @ Oct 12, 2016 -> 01:22 PM) So, Cubbies going to annihilate the nats or the dodgers is the true "??????" mark of the thread. This isn't the NBA. Weird stuff happens.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Oct 12, 2016 -> 06:07 PM) So you're telling me this and this isn't you? Nice broken link there. It's not uncommon. it's the alumni group. https://twitter.com/AustinILLINI https://facebook.com/AustinILLINI And thank god there are creeps out there who go and find people they don't like to make Soxtalk a better place. Creepy much?

QUOTE (chw42 @ Oct 12, 2016 -> 06:01 PM) I found him on another forum. He's a Cubs fan. Just need to look at post history. My question is...why even bother posting on here and basically trolling? There's plenty of Cubs boards out there where you can talk without being opposed almost every step of the way. I'm not AustinIllini on any other forums.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Oct 12, 2016 -> 10:03 AM) It seems like he's had "discomfort" since the day he was drafted. It's always something with him. He's had so many problems, at this point I doubt he knows the difference between what is "discomfort" and what is actually really bad.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Oct 12, 2016 -> 09:35 AM) Is Strasburg officially done for the season? The media makes it sound like he's done, but I'm not sure. He had "discomfort" in his bullpen session.

In before someone calls dpd a Cubs fan.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Oct 12, 2016 -> 12:02 AM) I guess go Nationals? I think your best shot is cheering for the best AL team, honestly.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Oct 11, 2016 -> 11:54 PM) No way this version of the Cubs was going to choke it away. It's too good a team. Our Sox as of now are officially irrelevant until we get good again. I wonder how many Sox fans are gonna flip to the Cubs now. It won't happen with us loyal lifers but some people in this day and age might jump on the winner's bandwagon. GO SOX GO! I'll be honest, if we're bad, it doesn't matter how good the Cubs are. Our fanbase is typical of a mid market fanbase. We pay to go to games to watch winners. And I can't really blame people who want to watch good baseball.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Oct 11, 2016 -> 08:04 AM) Not to mention two new stadiums in the past 20 years. This is so ridiculous. Who needs two stadiums in 20 years?

Cubs vs Washington would be fascinating.

So much for he Cubs not being able to hit. Oh yeah, and Baez sucks.

QUOTE (hi8is @ Oct 10, 2016 -> 11:04 PM) Cubs / Blue Jays World Series I'm not convinced the Cubs are winning this tonight.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Oct 10, 2016 -> 11:00 PM) I personally couldn't care less about steroids but it's amazing how Ortiz gets a pass when nobody else does. We've had our disagreements about Cubs and White Sox issues, but There's no way any self-respecting White Sox fans should support a drug cheat. Arguably one of the best parts of the White Sox is their noted history of being anti-PED usage. In fact, that 2005 team only had one suspected steroid user (Ozuna)

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Oct 10, 2016 -> 10:58 PM) One is a possible HOF, the other a backup catcher. In fairness, the one who is potentially a hall of famer is also a disgrace to the game who helped break an 86 year curse using performance enhancing drugs, but I see your point. But i'm done with farewell tours in general. They're all pretty dumb.

Ross is going to be an analyst or coach somewhere.

The Pitcher batting is kind of hiding the fact that this Cubs lineup has struggled to produce this series.

These California commercials remind me how much I hated traveling to California

QUOTE (soxfan85 @ Oct 10, 2016 -> 09:27 PM) Oh, look...the most brilliant man on the "internet" has arrived! For some reason, I imagine you looking something like this: What if I told you The Matrix came out 17 years ago? I'm actually female.

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Oct 10, 2016 -> 09:22 PM) twas quick but damn so accurate as of now Saw it on twitter. In stitches.

QUOTE (fathom @ Oct 10, 2016 -> 09:18 PM) Well when there would be 3 outs before that at bar, it kinda hurts. Shouldn't you be celebrating at wrigley? It's a road game, child.

QUOTE (fathom @ Oct 10, 2016 -> 09:15 PM) Series over....of course the blown check swing on Russell ends up costing Giants Or, you know, giving up a home run to a pitcher.

HAHAHAHA Arrieta
