With a nickname like "Cubbies" What do you expect?
LOL yes I know its the "Cubs"
But lets face it.
Discribing a group of grown men as "Cubbies" doesnt exactly excude a group of killers. Or a bunch of guys one would expect to win anything
Particularly comming out of Chicago
Sounds like a ballet act complete with pink tutus
Now. Change that nickname to somethihg like "The Hit Men"
THEN you could expect something.
Hmmm I kinda like that name
"The Chicago Hit Men"
But the "Cubbies"?
Now I ask you.
If you were to play for a team.
Whom would you rather play for?
"The Chicago Hit Men"
Or
"The Cubbies" ?
moving to chicago this week.
have already sworn the blood oath.
cubbies.

"The Chicago Hit Men" was a nick name given to the White Sox by the news papers or something a few years back.
I'll take the name of a wild animal at any age over a pair of stinky socks no mater what their color. (Socks??? why would you name your team after an article of clothing? Oh yeah, and the New York Knickerbockers, ????)
Soriano broke his hand. I didn't expect the wheels to start coming off until after the all star break. Ohh noes!
We just got WGN on our HD lineup! Saaweet. I hope they still carry Cubs games, its been a while since I've seen this channel.

When the Cards get Carpenter, Mulder, Clement, and Pujols off the DL, it's another Cubs dive.
HONK!

It's not gonna happen...not this year!! :aok
I wouldnt get to cocky. The three best teams in the NL are in the Central (dont believe me look at the standings) They are going to be beating up on each other the last half of the season. About this time last year it looked like Milwaukee had the Central all locked up and you know how that turned out.
Don't be stealing bizz's material now. :lol :lol
I wish I could take credit for that one, I'm not that clever. :aok I saw it on a Tshirt a couple of years ago at a game.
and now a message for you all ...........with love, from uncle reality...

Go Cincinnati!! :rock :rock
Bet, you don't have an old Fred McGriff or Wade Boggs jersey laying around.
WOot! I feel a comeback for the second half of the year! (lol not really but ya gotta have a little faith. :) )
Went to the game today, was a little worried early on as Volquez was all over the place but once he settled down and the bats got hot everything went picture perfect. (I wont comment of the top of the 9th *shurgs* )
Long time no see.Thanks, had my first daughter so she's been taking up most of my time as of late.
Great to see you back on trax :salute :salute
ROX

Argghhhh I knew this was coming, that was a flat out arse kicking. But it isnt over yet, we'll see you boys in September :D
I hope it's in Milwaukee :)
The Cubs are up by 4.5 games in the NL, I'll say it now, Cubs & Angles World Series.
Hell yeah, best record in Baseball by 3 games atm, tonight's game was great, they just killed it in the 8th. Soto was just on fire tonight driving in 7 of the 14 runs. Hopefully this will be the year it all comes together, on the 100th year without one. :pray
BIG Z and the NO-NO :rock Wooo-Whooooo
SWEET!!!!!!!!!!! First Cub since Milt Pappas in 1972.
Let's count 'em down trax. :rock
The only bummer is for the world series I will be out of the country.
Ah well...cruise ships are supposed to have satallite tv.

Why bother? The White Sox will just bounce them if the Cubs do make it that far. :aok
Why bother? The White Sox will just bounce them if the Cubs do make it that far. :aokYeah I don't think the Sox have it this year, more likely it's gonna be the Ray's or Angles. Even if it is Cubs Vs. Sox the Cubs have already shown they can beat the Sox winning 4 of 6 against them this year.

I'm a Tigers fan, but you're on crack. What would give the CUbs the CLEAR ADVANTAGE are Harden, Dempster and Zambrano. To top it off, you have Kerry Wood closing. Figure those three starting 2 games each for a WS. You aren't winning three games against them. It's that simple.
Only one of those I'd take on the Sox staff is Zambrano. That guy is a horse, and he and Ozzie would make quite a pair.
Harden is fragile, Dempster is unproven. Buehrle, Vazquez, Danks, and Floyd are no slouches.
As far as Kerry Woods is concerned: I'd take Bobby Jenks over him any day. :)
I'm not really on the White Sox Kool-aide, I just think they have a better shot than most people are giving them. (They still gotta put away the Twins, which has not proven easy the last few years.)
I'm just doing a community service here, trying to temper Cubs fan's enthusiasm so the collapse will not hurt as much. Come to think of it, I should dig up the thread from 2003 when the Cubs were in the NLCS. Was quite entertaining.
Cubs swept at Wigley, Sox swept at Comiskey (I still have trouble calling it the Cell.)Your right, for some reason I thought that the series at Wrigley the Cubs won the 3rd game.
Enjoy.Great song, I hadn't heard that before. Eddie was at Wrigley a few weeks ago with Chris Chelios, I guess there both friends, John Cusack was there with them too.

Yeah, what a jerk that guy is, what with the knowing the rules of baseball and whatnot. Oh, and the trying to win and stuff, yikes, what a loser.He was clearly out. But that is besides the point. He is an A hole of epic proportions.

Some things in life are political right to the end. If the cubs vs. the Sox ever in a World Series city politics are out the window.You should check out this article from MLB News about a Red line series, and how this will be the first time the 2 teams have both made the post season together in 102 years.
May I please have a heimlich for the Cubs? Again.
not a cubbie fan so I enjoy their misery.That my friends is spoken like a true Astros fan. I'm not myself, but my wife and father-in-law are, I have better taste such as the Braves.
I used to like the cubbies but after some astro games and hanging around the astros boards, the cubbie fans were hands down the worst people on earth.
I'm a little surprised Pinella obviously doesn't have this team ready to play Oct. baseball, "tho hes been accused of that in the past". I'm even more surprised they haven't won a playoff game yet. I'm more of a Sox fan but still I "feel the pain" of Cubs fans This year is an even worse one then 1969 was, and I sure remember that one, the choke of '84, the choke of '03, and the total breakdown of '04.
This year they actually have the team that can, and should, go all the way. But coming back from an 0-2 start against a team as hot as the Dodgers? I dont think thats going to happen. They are probably going to lose tomorrows game and then The Cubs ownership is going to have to break up this team. They cant win in Oct. and theres no point keeping it together.
Problem is they are saddled with some big, big contracts. Soriano?? They couldn't give him away, Fukadome too. Dempsters going to want big money as a starter cause his contract is up now so hes gone. Their catcher Soto, whos had a huge year, is going to want a ton of dough. And others coming off of good years, with contracts up too, are going to want big pay hikes. Guys like Theriot, Marshall, Marmol, Fontenot, and Cedeno.
They already have a huge team payroll of 120 million. And for what? For a team that cant win an Oct. game? I'll bet they have 55 million sunk this year into Soriano, Ramirez, Lee, and Fukadome, and not one of them have an OCT RBI this year. Soriano is batting .111 this Oct, Fukadome is hitting .000, Ramirez .250, and Lee .429 but again no RBIs between the 4 of them. Soriano has a playoff BA of .219 with an OBP of .271 out of 169 at bats in his career during Oct. And this is your LOF? An OBP of .271? Ramirez has a playoff BA of .203 out of 17 playoff games. Lee hit a .242 in 22 playoff games.

I used to like the cubbies but after some astro games and hanging around the astros boards, the cubbie fans were hands down the worst people on earth.Yeah I was at a game at Wrigley against the Astros a few years ago, I was on the first base line, right by the Astros bullpen, about 4 rows from the wall, the whole game all me & my friends did was heckle the Astros pitchers warming up, one of the pitching coaches eventually flipped us off, and they started yelling stuff back at us. This was about a week & a half before that game against the Dodgers, I believe, were that father & son Cubs fan took the hat off one of the pitchers sitting there and started that brawl in the stands between the pitching staff and the fans.
Even worse than red socks fans if you can believe it.
SOX aren't doing much better. Always next year TOOL :P
on the bright side, least the cubs aren't the texans, yuck thats a bad football team.
I'll take a bad Texan team over a Superbowl winning Cowboy team any day of the week and well into the next year.
