This was the team I thought we would see all year... Man, was I wrong...
Didn't anyone notice a limp on Sori HR trot because he also didn't come back on the field after the game... I pretty sure they wanted to interview him for player of the game... But he was nowhere to be seen... |

Once again, an opposing team pitches to Pujols (with nobody on) and he hits a walk off last night. Unreal. There has to be a fine in place for intentionally walking the prick. WTF? |

Lee and Ramirez were the only ones who showed up this season ready to play. So sad... |

said by VegasMan :Hileman and Harden have been claimed on waivers. Report says to NL teams but doesn't speculate who. Cubs have till Monday to work out a deal. Looks like they'll both be staying:

Not sure but Dye in right might work for the Cubs. He hits well in Wrigley.

It's damn sad watching this team play when they "at least" have a shot at the wild card. I realize it's a long shot, but at least it's a shot.

Sounds like they've already dealt two of them: Thome to the Dodgers, Contreras to the Rockies.

When the pressure is gone and are nowhere near the Wildcard or division do they at least start to win. I'm curious as to what Rickets motivation will be this winter. Will he open up his wallet and try to buy a championship or try to make a profit for the first couple of years? Ted Lilly and Randy Wells are good to build around. I hope Dempster and Zambrano are just off this year due to injuries..... or whatever you want to call what happened to Zambrano this year  |

Oh and ESPN still says we have a 2% chance of making the play offs.

At least they never really got our hopes up this year. |

They were in 1st place, I think, Aug. 6 and AR had just come back or would be soon... Then St. Louis got an ex cub, can't remember his name and some guy named something like Holiday... Is he any good...?... And then their 1st baseman got even hotter, while pitching which was suppose to be bad was the best in the division ... Since starting out 14 and 5 in Aug. we went down,down hill fast as the birds flew like eagles...and we played literally like baby cubs... Maybe next century...!!!... |
