Re: Wait 'til Next Year...Cubbies Fans Unite!
 
Whatever team I root for loses, and usually in a big way. Whatever team I least want to win will usually make it to the middle of the playoffs, often going all the way to the Series.

So, what's it worth to you guys to have me go full-on Cub hater this year? I usually root for the Cubbies but if I root against them then maybe, just maybe ..... :D Back in '04 I turned against the Red Sox (briefly) and look what happened. :r

:r Yeah the Padres aren't tough to beat, but the Cubs need to win where they can. I feel bad for Dempster, he has pitched good this year and his team hasn't won for him. I see the Cubs moving him if they keep losing, at least by the deadline.

We need bullpen help. Wood retiring was a start, now Marmol needs to go.

Marmol has good stuff, however, no control from what I've seen.

Theo will get a couple of years I'm sure to rebuild, before the bums get restless.

As long as Ricketts doesn;t raise the price of beer in the bleachers, all will be ok.

Yeah I know what you mean Tom:D I'm just hoping the Sox can atleast stop this slide their on... And that the Tiger's bullpen/starting rotation blows up and keeps them behind the Sox:r:r

Bad news for sure, Sox need to survive till the break, and hopefully Kenny can pick up some help. Hell we need a starter, maybe Dempster wants to come to the Dark Side

Still baseball in Chicago Sean!!

Looks like the rats are jumping the sinking ship on the northside though.. Dempster still not moved yet.

Is Epstein gonna sell the rest of the major league roster if they clear waivers?
Cleaning house is a step in the right direction (for the future anyway).

Theo messed up on the whole Tyler Colvin trade, he seems to be messing up now with moving his best players now.. The cubs haven't got much value in return so far from what he has done:2

We didn't have much value to begin with.

Marmol reportedly traded. Now he's not. Didn't the Cubs have another deal earlier this year with the Braves reported yet it never happened?

Yup. They can't pull the trigger.
