The cubs are the biggest joke of a 135 million dollar team ever put on the field. I hope you losers endure another 100 years of this stuff, worst fans in all of baseball. Do you really think that being loyal to a terrible makes you great fans? All fans teams have loyal fans and would never root for another team, no matter how bad their team is. Luckily most all other teams do not have to wake up each morning and realize that they are a cub fan.

It must be agony waking up each morning realizing you live on the south side.

Cubs wouldn't be losing all the time if Hendry didn't dump Derosa. They gotta do everything in their power to get that guy back STAT.

How many playoff games did the Cubs win with DeRosa?

Anyone who thinks the Cub are going to make the playoffs are nuts. Lou has lost it, he just sits in the dugout and does nothing... Back up the truck and start with Jim and Lou and Soriano. See you next year.

Remember "Sweet Lou's" first week or two with the Cubs, when it seemed like he might quit less than a month into the season? He can't handle adversity, even with a team that still should win the division.

A tough one, but we will be back. Z's win was a lift.

Bring on the White Sox!!

[bottomline is-]

aight...

the one thing i miss about last year was knowing even bein down three runs, that we would win.

i miss the turnstile effect that we would have when we led the league in big run scoring innings last year when it seemed like we had hit after hit after hit followed by a big hit.

i swear every home run we have hit this year has been a solo shot...

we lead off three of the first four innings with a double...NONE OF THEM SCORED

another great outing by a starter wasted...god if only we had ARAM

Well, this is shades 2004 when we all thought coming off the stunning loss to Florida the Cubs would retake the Division and make another run.

Instead the team looked good for awhile, then folded. Prior was never the same after the game 6, 7th inning meltdown.

This season is Dempster who is in post-season form already, a bullpen that has got to rank near the bottom of the league, and just horrible, horrible defense.

Sadly Lou cares nothing for pitching and defense. All he wants is runs, runs, runs and this team is one set of rally stoppers.

When you look at guys on other teams who have low averages but large RBI totals, that a clutch hitter. What the Cubs have is guys with decent averages but low RBI totals.

Lots of hits with no one on base. This team sure nows how to get guys over to third and then not get them in.

This years team has some "great" Chemistry, sadly it's the bad kind where they find different ways with different guys to lose games.

If the Cubs are going anywhere this year, they are going to have to make a move period, onwership in flux or not.

[Papasblues]

CUBS SUCK...

[WBrown Memphis]

You have no leadership, your manager is afraid of Soriano, the defense is terrible, and no one knows how to bunt. That all equals a terrible team, which this one is. And you can't trade because not a team wants anyone this cub team has, and there is no money to take on salary. So, here is your team. And for some reason, Soriano keeps starting every day and batting leadoff...UGH.

140 million just doesn't get as far as it used to does it? oh and also little leaguers .....a lesson in that the more money you have, the more wasteful you spend it.

HEhehehehe, good thing they are not in a strong division!

[Japs are Crap]

Cubs would be a 4th-place team in Japan, where all the players are slanty-eyed sissies like Gookadummy.

[Reeeeeeed]

Maybe instead of batteries we should all throw bottles of soy sauce at Jap Crap.
