**OFFICIAL CUBS REGULAR SEASON THREAD**

[woodyk1]

If you have been watching the game today, you really know what it is like to be a Cub fan. Jeff Samardzija is pitching a gem with a 4-1 lead in the 9th. 2 outs, and gets a groundball to SS which Castro throws into the dirt for an error. Then a 2 run HR making it 4-3. Here comes Marmol to (gulp) save the game. Let me know when it is over.

3 run lead heading into the 9th. Castro with a stupid error that continued the inning. Now it's a one run lead with Werth coming up and Marmol coming in. Wow.

Why do we do this to ourselves? Walk to Werth. Xavier Nady!

I hate Marmol, part of me wanted him to blow the game so I could hate him even more

Did anyone watch the post game where they are interviewing Smartja(SP?). Some Ahole on the Cubs pie faces him while giving an interview after his first career start win.. I feel bad for him not getting to finish his interview and get his thoughts on a huge career win.

It was Garza. The aftermath is in the pic I posted.

He deserves it for going to Notre Dame.

Samardzija on Garza's shaving cream pie: "He'll pitch well once this year and I'll pay him back."

Obviously you don't pay attention to enough baseball. Its a tradition that many other teams do as well.

Right? Name one team that hasnt done that and the pie to the face is something to be proud of. Complete game or Walk off.

Pie in the face is a badge of honor for a player. A welcome to big leagues kind of thing. Samardzija was really good today and he deserved the pie. I like the cubs rotation, if they can get any offense going consistently and the bullpen is even average, this team could be better than most expected (which is like 70 wins).

Part of me believes it's the pessimistic attitudes of Cubs fans that prevent the Cubs from ever being serious contenders.

Really? Or maybe it is because Jim Hendry ****ed us over with some ridiculous contracts and couldn't use the hundreds of millions of dollars he was given to get a decent team except 07,08.

So Soriano sucks because of the fans? That's new.
