Wait 'til Next Year...Cubbies Fans Unite!
 

Have to counter Ryan's Yankees thread with a thread about the lovable losers...the Chicago Cubs.

Here's a place for us to cheer, gripe, and probably cry in our beer in September...

No Bartman's allowed!:D

Went to Reds games as a kid. But thanks to WGN, watched as many Cubs games as I could growing up. Atteneded my first game at Wrigley when i was in 7th grade...1980ish.

Go Cubbies!!

Re: Wait 'til Next Year...Cubbies Fans Unite!
 

Are the Cubs going to be showing the 2 exhibition games at the New Yankee Stadium on Friday & Saturday.

Re: Wait 'til Next Year...Cubbies Fans Unite!
 

Damn, where's the bouncer? Who let the Yankee guy in?

Looks like Saturday's game will be on CSN-Chicago. had to reduce my satellite package, so not sure if it will be on WGN. Maybe someone who has a little more cash can answer...:r

Sporting News says Yanks-Cubs in the series this year.:tu

Re: Wait 'til Next Year...Cubbies Fans Unite!
 

My prediction : Brewers take the central this season.

:)

Re: Wait 'til Next Year...Cubbies Fans Unite!
 

I will take that bet. ;)

Re: Wait 'til Next Year...Cubbies Fans Unite!
 

hahaha

Re: Wait 'til Next Year...Cubbies Fans Unite!
 

Go Cubbies. Unfortunately I'm in Germany, so my exposure to baseball is going to be limited for the next few seasons. Oh well. I have the internet...

Re: Wait 'til Next Year...Cubbies Fans Unite!
 

I hear that my Reds are gonna be some competition for you Cubbies this year. I don't think the Brew Crew is gonna bring anything to the Central division this year.

Re: Wait 'til Next Year...Cubbies Fans Unite!
 

I should stay out of here I guess:D Tom will beat me up:r

Re: Wait 'til Next Year...Cubbies Fans Unite!
 

Astros will be a force in the Central this year. :dance:

Re: Wait 'til Next Year...Cubbies Fans Unite!
 

I have got to get a better bouncer for this thread...:D

Re: Wait 'til Next Year...Cubbies Fans Unite!
 

If theres a job opening for bouncer Im up for it:D Dont worry, no bashing from me in this thread Sean. Have you been to any crosstown series before? Anyone?

Re: Wait 'til Next Year...Cubbies Fans Unite!
 

A little friendly banter between Cubs/Sox fans is all in a days work for us.:D

I would love to go to a crosstown game, but I always seem to be short in the $$ department. Whether at Wrigley or Comiskey, I mean US Cellular. Couple of years ago, my company treated us to the all you can eat/see a game day there. Very nice.

Re: Wait 'til Next Year...Cubbies Fans Unite!
 

Same here, the tickets are expensive$!! Did cubs increase ticket prices for this year?

Re: Wait 'til Next Year...Cubbies Fans Unite!
 

Being my employment status is "fluid" at the moment, I have not checked. Last made a game two years ago. Got to see Roger Clemmens vs Greg Maddux.

If only I could have seen that match up 10 years earlier...:r

Re: Wait 'til Next Year...Cubbies Fans Unite!
 

Nah, I am a Tigers fan for the AL, but I don't hate the White Sox like some of those psycho-rivalry guys....maybe because I didn't grow up in Chicago. ;)

From who, Andy, the voices in your head? ;) :r

Re: Wait 'til Next Year...Cubbies Fans Unite!
 

I used to get WFLD growing up and would have to watch Sox games because my brother liked them since I liked the Cubs.

But as a catcher in Little League, I wore #5.

Re: Wait 'til Next Year...Cubbies Fans Unite!
 

Im not as big into the cubs/sox rivalry as some. I just love the sox and the cubs/sox series is the only time i get in the rivalry mood:D

Re: Wait 'til Next Year...Cubbies Fans Unite!
 

we are just crazy fans in chicago:D and i love it

Re: Wait 'til Next Year...Cubbies Fans Unite!
 

30 clubs 30 days?

Re: Wait 'til Next Year...Cubbies Fans Unite!
 

Did anyone watch those two games this weekend against the Yankees?

Re: Wait 'til Next Year...Cubbies Fans Unite!
 

I did not, but I heard the Cubs bullpen looked brutal. :(

Re: Wait 'til Next Year...Cubbies Fans Unite!
 

Music to my ears :)

We will see about that!

Re: Wait 'til Next Year...Cubbies Fans Unite!
 

Yeah, but it was pretty brutal last season too, and they still beat the Brew Crew. ;)

Re: Wait 'til Next Year...Cubbies Fans Unite!
 

:fu (Air High Five for the ADB)

Wish i could have watched a little of the game. Had my daughters over and I pretty much lose the TV and the PC when they are here.

Re: Wait 'til Next Year...Cubbies Fans Unite!
 

Watched a MLB prediction show on ESPN. All of the analysts picked the Cubbies to win the Central this year. They even went on to say how it was the most surefire selection out of all six divisions.

One even went on to pick the Cubs beating the BoSox in the World Series...

...we can only hope!


It's our year!

Re: Wait 'til Next Year...Cubbies Fans Unite!
 

Ahh, Jordan, you just jinxed 'em!

;) :r

Re: Wait 'til Next Year...Cubbies Fans Unite!
 

Amongst all the jinxes, goat curses, and Steve Bartmans...I really don't think me saying that its our year is going to make a difference if all the superstitious things are true.

If that's the case then the Cubs have no hope...for at least the next hundred years...

;)

Re: Wait 'til Next Year...Cubbies Fans Unite!
 

But it will! Newman!!!


:D

Re: Wait 'til Next Year...Cubbies Fans Unite!
 

Winning the Central...no problem. Getting out of the first round of the playoffs? Well, that seems to be where we need work.

Talking about the Cubbies winning the WS this early is like talking to a pitcher about his no-hitter going into the 9th....You just don;t do it!:r

Re: Wait 'til Next Year...Cubbies Fans Unite!
 

I'm just optimistic. Baseball takes forever, we still have six months to go...

Here I'll change it...


It might be our year!


Just need to win that first round playoff game...and then the second...

Re: Wait 'til Next Year...Cubbies Fans Unite!
 

1 down...161 to go.

Re: Wait 'til Next Year...Cubbies Fans Unite!
 

Soriano leads off the season with a homer.

Carlos gives up one run in 6 innings.

Please, make it last. :r

Re: Wait 'til Next Year...Cubbies Fans Unite!
 

I miss Soriano.

Re: Wait 'til Next Year...Cubbies Fans Unite!
 

He feels the same about you, Ryan. :)

Re: Wait 'til Next Year...Cubbies Fans Unite!
 

Cubbies looked good yesterday. Excellent outing by Zambrano.

Re: Wait 'til Next Year...Cubbies Fans Unite!
 

Damn Brew Crew...:mad:

King James will be in here, to give us a hard time, if he can put his beer and brats down...:r

Re: Wait 'til Next Year...Cubbies Fans Unite!
 

crazy game for the cubs tonight

Re: Wait 'til Next Year...Cubbies Fans Unite!
 

When we left the herf, Cubbies were down 2-0 and didn't look good. Sounds like I need to catch the highlights.

Re: Wait 'til Next Year...Cubbies Fans Unite!
 

You def. need to do some catching up:D

Re: Wait 'til Next Year...Cubbies Fans Unite!
 

Looks like the south siders had a good game today.

Re: Wait 'til Next Year...Cubbies Fans Unite!
 

Finally, their bats have been frozen the last 3 games. I hope they dont go off and on the whole season. Cubbies won, but whats new in chicago? Comeback win from what i saw on sportsnite.

Re: Wait 'til Next Year...Cubbies Fans Unite!
 

Comeback tonight for sure.

Re: Wait 'til Next Year...Cubbies Fans Unite!
 

MILWAUKEE -- Alfonso Soriano made up for another poor performance by the Chicago Cubs' bullpen, smacking a go-ahead two-run homer in the ninth inning to give the Cubs a 6-5 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers on Saturday.

Re: Wait 'til Next Year...Cubbies Fans Unite!
 

:dance::wo:dance:

Re: Wait 'til Next Year...Cubbies Fans Unite!
 

Got lucky tonight. Didn't look good at all for a division or NL champion caliber team. Not that my team looks any better.

Whatev. Even a blind squirrel gets lucky from time to time

Suppan is giving this game away.

Re: Wait 'til Next Year...Cubbies Fans Unite!
 

Yup. Suppan blows every year and we keep him around. He was cubbies best player tonight
