You walk into a thread where the last little vestiges of possible hope — a sweep of the Cards — was crushed and expect us all to be sunshine and light?
He insists on using the same crappy players (Heilman, Miles, etc.) and then when he finally wakes up and realizes he needs to make a change he puts in guys like Patton last night or Scales for the past 2 weeks.
If something’s gonna happen next year, I think we need a new manager.

We've just been Aaroned.

Pat & Ron: "He chased a bad ball"
I can’t even summon the will to comment. Oh, I guess I just did.
Zeke - September 18, 2009
hes bunting, could be worse i guess
jesus christos - September 18, 2009
And he did it successfully.
Thank you Mr. Miles. Now catch a cab back to the hotel.
Zeke - September 18, 2009
Aaron Miles failed to suck
Weird.
Clutch16 - September 18, 2009
since he isn't a product of our minor league system
He knows how to bunt.
nji232 - September 18, 2009
but sucks at every other aspect
of the game
bheidge - September 18, 2009
well yeah
he knows how to bunt, that is it
nji232 - September 18, 2009
Or maybe
McClellan felt bad for his old teammate and threw the ball where the bat was
bheidge - September 18, 2009
keeping a ball in the infield is his specialty.
he has worked on it all season
LAcarl519 - September 18, 2009
Nice "jump" graphic!
Vermont Cubs Fan - September 18, 2009

Damn
I hate the fucking Cardinals
bheidge - September 18, 2009
Come on Baker!
Zeke - September 18, 2009
You know the pitcher is throwing strikes
Why keep looking at them?
nji232 - September 18, 2009
Yessss, McClellan
Pitch to the Muffin Man!
Clutch16 - September 18, 2009
Uh, oh. Gregg throwing in the pen.
Zeke - September 18, 2009
and pujols will bat in the bottom of the 8th
awww shiii
jesus christos - September 18, 2009
When is he due up?
Just so I can prepare for Gregg’s latest home run.
Vermont Cubs Fan - September 18, 2009
hell bat 4th
jesus christos - September 18, 2009

there was a time when this did not scare me.
eswan9 - September 18, 2009
Hey, he's pitching for a contract!
eswan9 - September 18, 2009
thats an insult to pitchers everywhere
I dont know what the fuck he is doing when he is up there, but its not pitching
bheidge - September 18, 2009
hes throwing fastballs down broadway
thats what hes doing
jesus christos - September 18, 2009
sarcasm meter missing?
eswan9 - September 18, 2009
no
jesus christos - September 18, 2009
Baker out 6-3. 3 outs.
Zeke - September 18, 2009
Did I miss something?
anything wrong with Guzman?
bheidge - September 18, 2009
Reaggravated triceps
Day-to-day.
Clutch16 - September 18, 2009
oblique strain, right?
Lou = oblique
LAcarl519 - September 18, 2009
No, that's Lou=obtuse.
Zeke - September 18, 2009
his arm is very weak
nji232 - September 18, 2009
the 1 time the cubs try small ball
they fail horribly
jesus christos - September 18, 2009
Well, gird your loins and chinch up your trusses Cubs fans.
This is going to be a toughie…
Zeke - September 18, 2009
OK
Clutch16 - September 18, 2009
Picture fail?
All I see at work for this is a red X.
Vermont Cubs Fan - September 18, 2009
I see an atomic wedgie.
Zeke - September 18, 2009
You're not missing much
Quit working! It’s Friday night!
Clutch16 - September 18, 2009
I'm off in about half an hour.
Vermont Cubs Fan - September 18, 2009

eswan9 - September 18, 2009

THANK GOD.

Cheese boy singles. Here comes Poo-holes.
Zeke - September 18, 2009
I was chastised for referring to Prince Albert by that name
LAcarl519 - September 18, 2009
I'll refrain from here on out. How 'bout Prince Albert in the Can?
Zeke - September 18, 2009
I've got no problems with it
may too much Pujols love around here
bheidge - September 18, 2009
he prefers to be called "Your Lord and Savior, Albert Pujols"
jesus christos - September 18, 2009
How about
Best Player in Baseball and Someone I’d Give My Taint to Have as a Cub?
Worf - September 18, 2009
when your done sucking his dick
I could use some lovin too
bheidge - September 18, 2009
ok, I realize that it's past bedtime for the little kids (except on the left coast)...
…but that’s still pretty inappropriate.
ballhawk - September 18, 2009
And here comes Kevin Gregg to pitch to Albert Poo-holes
Dear God in heaven, why, why, why?
Zeke - September 18, 2009
im sorry ted
jesus christos - September 18, 2009
Obviously
We were all really, really bad in our former lives.
Clutch16 - September 18, 2009
We were all Charlie Manson?
Ugh.
Zeke - September 18, 2009
Where is Guzman?????
Vermont Cubs Fan - September 18, 2009
oblique or triceps or something
jesus christos - September 18, 2009
Gregg in to face Pujols
This is a joke
nji232 - September 18, 2009
If I hurry, I might be able to get down there in time to catch the home run...
ballhawk - September 18, 2009
In Springfield?
Clutch16 - September 18, 2009
You won't have to.
Poo-holes will hit it all the way to Chicago. :(
Vermont Cubs Fan - September 18, 2009
problem is, my throw-back wouldn't make it past Belmont...

Just stand on your front porch now. It'll come...

What now? What language are you speaking there fella?
Zeke - September 18, 2009
I don't know.
I’m not fluent in that language after what happened in August.
Vermont Cubs Fan - September 18, 2009
"Gregg retires"
sounds just as sweet…

Ba-da boom. CHING!

Vermont Cubs Fan - September 18, 2009

and proceeds to k
im glad hes a starter
jesus christos - September 18, 2009
You're saying the scales have fallen from your eyes?
Zeke - September 18, 2009
Let's hope Jake finds a good fastball to hit here
nji232 - September 18, 2009
or even a crappy one...
Zeke - September 18, 2009
how about a ball into Big Mac land?
LAcarl519 - September 18, 2009
Heil-mol

Jimmyeatworld - September 18, 2009
We won't have to worry about that.

Vermont Cubs Fan - September 18, 2009

what the hell?
He almost got picked off the first time, what the hell is he doing?
cwpettis - September 18, 2009
Riot was pretty determined to get picked off there
Worf - September 18, 2009
He succeeded admirably
Clutch16 - September 18, 2009
And he succeeded very well...
Zeke - September 18, 2009
He did well, then..
Vermont Cubs Fan - September 18, 2009
dont worry

What would Blanco do?
Not that. (provided he could get on base)
cwpettis - September 18, 2009
Well, this could be quick...
Zeke - September 18, 2009
And, sadly, it was.
Vermont Cubs Fan - September 18, 2009
Yep. You could smell it coming.
Zeke - September 18, 2009
you know as much as i rag on soriano bradley fontenot gregg and heilman
i actually have more uh… anger directed towards theriot. funny, huh?
jesus christos - September 18, 2009
funny- ha ha, or funny- strange?
Zeke - September 18, 2009
i just dont know anymore...
jesus christos - September 18, 2009
funny - sad?
bheidge - September 18, 2009
He has the ability to succeed
And squanders it mercilessly.
Clutch16 - September 18, 2009
good night friends.
see you in 2010.
Scrapptastic - September 18, 2009
Enough already
I’m sick of “season’s over” posts every day for the last month and a half.
Not Bruce Froemming - September 18, 2009
Get over it
Worf - September 18, 2009
Talk about
someone who should take his own advice.
Not Bruce Froemming - September 18, 2009
OVER!
Worf - September 18, 2009
God, are you
an insufferable jackoff.
Not Bruce Froemming - September 18, 2009
Dude...
You walk into a thread where the last little vestiges of possible hope — a sweep of the Cards — was crushed and expect us all to be sunshine and light?
THAT is insufferable.
Worf - September 18, 2009
No
There really wasn’t any hope coming into this game, anyway. But I get it, some of you enjoy being miserable. Well, you get your wish.
Not Bruce Froemming - September 18, 2009
I'm sorry we don't meet your standards of cheerfulness
Don’t worry, we’ll all strive to live up to your lofty standards. Why don’t you go polish your halo and fluff up your cloud and wait?
Worf - September 18, 2009
I know what you can go polish
and it sure ain’t a halo.
Good night.
Not Bruce Froemming - September 18, 2009
Door. Ass.
Don’t let one hit the other.
Worf - September 18, 2009
don't you mean "Ovah"?
ballhawk - September 18, 2009
I"m not sure Hawk
was able to muster even that tonight after an 11-0 pasting.
Not Bruce Froemming - September 18, 2009
No, it's not enough already considering...
I haven’t posted anything on here regarding “season’s over”
Pull your head out….IT’S OVER….we aren’t going to make up 10 games against the Cardinals or 7.5 in the wild card.
Done. Finished. Period.
Scrapptastic - September 18, 2009
I came to terms with the fate of this season a long time ago
what took you so long?
bheidge - September 18, 2009
Screw off
I know the score. I don’t need to be reminded of it 30 times a day, thank you.
Not Bruce Froemming - September 18, 2009
seasons over!
bheidge - September 18, 2009
OVER! OVER OVER OVER OVER OVER OVER OVER
Worf - September 18, 2009
Then quit
watching and posting. Why put yourself through the torture?
Not Bruce Froemming - September 18, 2009
Because I'm enjoying talking about 2010
And I happened to be able to catch tonight’s game in its entirety.
Unlike you, I don’t feel the need to bitch and moan and put on my cop’s hat.
Worf - September 18, 2009
Ha! Now that's a laugh
You’re one of the biggest idiots on this board.
Not Bruce Froemming - September 18, 2009
Pot, meet kettle

TEH SEASON. ITZ OVER!
GFY!

Thank you Aaron H.

who is effing terrible
Nunyabidness - September 19, 2009
Well, this game sucks
Let’s recap
Every single Cards mid-season acquisition contributed to this victory.
Worf - September 18, 2009
And every single
Cubs off season acquisition….. uhhhh….
Hilary Lee - September 18, 2009
So they did very well in doing what they were supposed to do.
Can’t fault them for that. It’s their job.
Zeke - September 18, 2009
when do the Cubs players start doing theirs?
Nunyabidness - September 19, 2009
Walk off HR Cards.
YEAH BABY!

Vermont Cubs Fan - September 18, 2009
Well, goodnight all.

Good luck tomorrow.
I won’t be around to talk college FB with you, but I’ll check to see how you guys did when I get back.
Vermont Cubs Fan - September 18, 2009
night Zeke...
good luck tomorow.
sue369 - September 18, 2009
I've had enough of Lou
He insists on using the same crappy players (Heilman, Miles, etc.) and then when he finally wakes up and realizes he needs to make a change he puts in guys like Patton last night or Scales for the past 2 weeks.
If something’s gonna happen next year, I think we need a new manager.
cwpettis - September 18, 2009
Who
should have been pitching instead? Suggestions?
Not Bruce Froemming - September 18, 2009
Kerry Wood
Of course
Clutch16 - September 18, 2009
perhaps you?
Scrapptastic - September 18, 2009
I think I'd be about as good
as Heilman was on that pitch, actually.
Not Bruce Froemming - September 18, 2009
ROY HALLIDAY
jesus christos - September 18, 2009
Frank Viola?
bheidge - September 18, 2009
Marshall would be my best guess.
Vermont Cubs Fan - September 18, 2009
Maybe Marshall or even Marmol. I know it’s not a save situation and you might “need him later” but you’ve got to get to “later” in the first place.
cwpettis - September 18, 2009
Can't use Marmol
and Marshall was worked in the Brewers series.
Not Bruce Froemming - September 18, 2009
why not
why CAN’T we use marmol?
Nunyabidness - September 19, 2009
The curse

They were both in the game
And we lost. Coincidence? I think not.

We've been Aaroned tonight.

Oh, if only we could be Erined instead...
Well some of us, that is. Others would probably want to be Geoed… ;-)

The Aarons suck
