July 26, 200718 yr Yeah, maybe it is time to blow this thread up and forget it existed. Maybe we can start a love for the Cubs thread.
July 26, 200718 yr Author QUOTE(briguy27 @ Jul 26, 2007 -> 02:53 PM) ... I think you missed the joke. Starting a similar thread would cause the Cubs to collapse into suckiness like the Brewers have since this thread opened.
July 26, 200718 yr Author I am so pissed off right now. Come on Cubs ... start sucking :fthecubs The Cubs are the best team in baseball right now. It won't go on forever, will it?

It won't go on forever, will it? They're the best team in that division, and it's not even close. They have two guys in Zambrano and Lilly who just won't lose now, and they have a pretty strong bullpen that's avoided blowing games lately. And of course, we had to know that J. Jones would end up contributing to them after they tried to get rid of them. At this point, I've given up on them not making the playoffs, and I'm just rooting for the teams they'll have to play to upgrade at the deadline. Recent injuries to Peavy, Young, Lowe, and Beltran are the types of thing that I hope we don't see a lot of down the stretch.

Well if there is a good side to the Cubs making the playoffs, maybe Mr. Reinsdorf allows Kenny to spend a little more this off season knowing that you can buy your way into contention and attract fans.

July 27, 200718 yr Well if there is a good side to the Cubs making the playoffs, maybe Mr. Reinsdorf allows Kenny to spend a little more this off season knowing that you can buy your way into contention and attract fans. Flub fans thought the same thing after we won and they ended up in last place. ARe you even a Sox fan these days, or just an anti-Cub fan?
July 27, 200718 yr QUOTE(Brian @ Jul 27, 2007 -> 11:31 AM) Bought a Brewer hat at LIDS today for 10 bucks to irritate my Cub fan friends. haha me too
July 27, 200718 yr why not, all the Cubs fans were quick to buy Detroit hats last year, even though half of them couldnt name a player on that team. Hell, I picked up a retro Brewers bp jersey last week when I went up to Miller Park for Chorizo Day. Now there's a concept I cant get enough of, a day at the ballpark to honor a mexican sausage. Sweet bobblehead though.
July 28, 200718 yr cordero coughs up lead in 9th and brewers blow six run lead to lose first game of doubleheader at st louis
July 28, 200718 yr QUOTE(lord chas @ Jul 28, 2007 -> 04:35 PM) cordero coughs up lead in 9th and brewers blow six run lead to lose first game of doubleheader at st louis My mom grew up in St. Louis, is a die hard Cardinals fan, and despises the Cubs more than anyone. I told her "if the Cubs win the division, you can blame your team," after that today.

Except the Cubs play in a much weaker division. At best they are the third best team in the AL central. As much as last year sucked, we still would have made the playoffs in the NL.
July 29, 200718 yr A mod really needs to merge this thread with the regular 'catch-all' thread or just delete it altogether.
August 1, 200718 yr Brewers were like 2 for 14 with RISP last night against the Mets. Lucky to pull that out.
August 1, 200718 yr So while it was closed the Brewers win in a way they have been losing for the last two weeks and the thread is reopened?
August 2, 200718 yr Watched the Brewer game last night. They just don't have enough to keep the Cubs down. Saddens me to say it, but the Cubs should be three games up on them in a week. Either way: Go Brew Crew!
August 2, 200718 yr The cubs will make the playoffs, the division is just that bad. The NL east teams are beating on the NL central pretty bad right now, and the cubs are just the least bad team in their division. Of course who knows what will happen in the playoffs.
August 5, 200718 yr Wow, the bottom of the 8th and top of the 9th in the Brewers/Phillies game was some of the most exciting baseball I have seen all year. Bottom of the 8th, Fielder hits a 2 run homer to put the Brewers up. Corey Hart robs Iguchi of a game tying homer. Rollins flies out to end it. GREAT game.
August 5, 200718 yr QUOTE(Sonik22 @ Jun 30, 2007 -> 10:16 PM) Brewers have always been my favorite NL team! I just wish we had FSN north here in Chicago! As someone who regularly made the journey up to County Stadium to catch the Sox vs. the Brew Crew, hearing that comment makes me feel OLD!!!
August 5, 200718 yr Went to Miller w/ my Dad this evening. We sat behind home and I was pleased by the outcome.
August 5, 200718 yr QUOTE(Brian @ Aug 4, 2007 -> 09:49 PM) Corey Hart robs Iguchi of a game tying homer. Yeah, I watching the game and I was very torn by that... rooting for Iguchi, but very glad the Brewers won.
