***OFFICIAL CUBS REGULAR SEASON THREAD***

[Hawkeye11en1]

We may score two runs tonight.

Rizzo is hitting 3 solos himself, so you'll get 3 fer sure.

You're so much cooler on the basketball board

Nice comeback by the Cubs. Down 4-0 going to the 9th, Cubs rally. Unfortunetly, a diving catch in CF allows the Rangers to win 4-2. Close.

What a way for the game to end. I thought that was a base hit to tie the game for sure.

 

[pin2win]

little to late but I like how they didn't give up

Woo hoo, Cubs are 4-9, #1 overall pick in 2014 baby!

Too bad there are the Marlins (3-11) and Houston (4-10).

On a related note, who was the relief pitcher that would start from the stretch and stare at 3rd....and then turn his head toward the plate nearly giving him whiplash each time?

Sounds like that idiot Jose Valverde who would then celebrate every freakin save like he just closed out Game 7 of teh World Series.

It is a long season so it is not over yet, after all Cubs got Kevin Gregg and they don't.

I knew they would be bad again this year, but not this bad. They have barely looked competitive in most of their games.

How so?

The bullpen has cost them a couple games already that could have been W's.

Here are their losses:

3-0
4-1
6-5
5-1
7-4
7-6
3-2
7-4 in extra innings
4-2

Fairly competitive in almost all their games so far, IMO.

Mike Fetters. Mark Grace immitated him when he pitched in Arizona.

Being competitive, blowing big leads, losing games late.....sounds awfully familiar.

Im with you that it gets old.

HFN made the comment they arent even competitive this year and that isnt true. All I was saying.

 

[pin2win]

W flag needs to come down. Maybe I jinxed the Cubs.

 

[Jjgoiowa11]

Welp Cubsters, our thorn ellen is no longer with us.

 

[hawktransplant]

It sounds like the Cubs struck a deal with the city to renovate Wrigley Field. About time!

I don't know why people love that stadium so much. It actually sucks. Bad views. old seats and a crappy team.

 

[Jjgoiowa11]

You are right hawkplant but we are a loyal bunch. But good lord 105 years now?? whoaa..

 

[Jjgoiowa11]

Is the Wrigley Field the worst baseball stadium in the majors? Besides the history behind it...
