[alexgtp]

What a crappy series for the SOX. Luckily the twins also lost one game over the weekend So as of today we are only 1/2 game out of first.

WTF is up with OZzie's decision to walk a batter to load up the bases!!
DAMn rain on sat screwed everything.

Well this just verified my thoughts that OUR PITCHING BULLPEN BLOWS!!
TRADE MAGS AND GET SOME GOOD BULLPEN PITCHERS!!

 

[dole21]

yup. good games pretty much


Cubs sweep them for the 1st time since 98 i think they said.

 

[VHGTP]

Just because you sell out almost every game doesnt mean you have better fans. By better fans we mean fans that actually know the game. The Cubs sell out not because of the team but because of the atmosphere that Wrigley provides. Many people just go to get wasted and to see Sosa strike out 3 times then hit one out when it doesnt count. Thats it.

Your manager cant win the big game when it counts. He doesnt know how to manage his pitchers, which was seen last year in the playoffs, and why your biggest pitchers went on the DL.

Ozzie, well see by the end of the year how good he does. So far he has done a great job and you cant deny that.

 

[gtphale]

you sox fans really need to lay off of Cub fans not knowing the game. We travel all around to watch our club. Yesterday there was over 20k in Miller Park. You Sox fans just have to realize that your fan base sucks. They are afraid to visit the park and still upset over the strike.

Go Cubs 4 out of 6 vs the Sux

Its the truth!

Ask a random Cub fan who was the third baseman before Aramis. And who was the manager before Dusty. And Im willing to bet they dont know.

Why? Because being a Cub fan is whats in, its the cool thing. You go to be seen on your phone and to get drunk. PERIOD.

Yeah you guys took the series, first time since 1998. The Sox yet are still in better shape in the standings, thats what matters.

And I dont want to hear that its because we are in a weak division. If the Flubs were so good then they wouldnt be 4 games down. PERIOD.

 

[alexgtp]

Well the Sox are only i game ahead of the CUBS in all time meetings.

I think it was 301 to 302.

I read it somehwere today on MLB.COM

SO we have been pretty even.

 

[gtphale]

Rocky stop being a hater. Cubs 5th best record in baseball Sux 12th best. Cubs better record then Sox 2 out of 3 seasons. Cub fans know the game. I'm sure that if I was togo to the Cell I would find plenty of fans there that are doing nothing but getting drunk and picking fights. Cause that is what they do. There is a reason why it is called the Cell.

 

[dole21]

1. Well said Hale


2. Baylor..not including Joe Schmo who got the job after Baylor was fired.

3. and at 3rd base I'll say Bill Mueller..sp?

LMAO ....


why do you suppose their are more Cub fans across the USA ? there are ALOT of Cub fans that have never even been to Wrigley. the Cubs have had more overall success over the years ... when i first got into baseball i was a Sox fan . Fisk , Kittle , Luzinski . ... but i was only 5 what did i know. it just seems there have been bigger names coming from the Cubs organization over the years. i guess you could say fan favorites .

rattle off the big name Sox players over the years that have actually put up some good #'s . refresh my memory please .
