Cubs and the postseason

Be sure to wear your seat belt because it is going to be a bumpy ride.

Been a real long time since I've been to Wrigley. I've heard and read (might have even said myself), some negative stuff about the Cuub fan base.

I have to admit, I've been locked in on the tube watching the Cuubies the last few weeks. The shots of the fans during critical points of the game, seem to show them as very attentive and passionate regarding what is happening on the field.

Are these the real meal deal Cuub fans? Or is this a good touch by Arnie Harris.

You've got to love the "Arnie cam!"

.......

Look closer and you will see that half of those fans are about to tip over from being insanely drunk.

The bottom line is we love our Cubs and have a great time at Wrigley, insanely drunk or otherwise. Cub fans just get it.

No....they don't!

No World Series appearance since before anyone the age of 62 was BORN....let alone old enough to enjoy it!

I like the cubs but can't stand the majority of the fans. The only way I go to Wrigley is if I get free tickets. That field is nothing more than an oversized bar. I don't know what it is the fans get other than a tremendous alcohol buzz as they are leaving. The other night Soriano throws out a man at home. the next at bat he strikes out and the fans boo him. I don't think half of you know how to watch much less play the game.

If you just adopted the Cubs as your team and you were originally from Baltimore area; you are use to not playing in October.. Lou Pinella took the job with the Cubs because he wasn't required to work in October...
looks like he is in for a ride and a pay raise

Cub fans are great fans- especially during the Cardinal series....but...they always seem to get their hearts broken and the slogan of "Wait until Next Year" applies to the Cubs again

The way the Brewers outfielder misplayed that ball yesterday can only mean one thing: it is the Cubbies year!

just get in the post-season and anything can happen. look at the white sox end of season flop two years ago that somehow turned into a world series winner and the cards last year.

End of Season flop in 2005, and somehow turned it into a WS winner??? sure the Sox made things VERY interesting, but they did go 8-2 the last 10 games of the season, had 99 wins and won the division by 6 games...then only lost one game in 3 weeks of October baseball. Where is the flop. BTW flop means failure, and the Sox sure did not fail.

19-3

And a World Championship!

That is what the cubs are chasing.

The Sox set the bar....VERY HIGH.

1906 baby!

how many were arrested at florida state pen this week? 2 or 3, i'm will to bet 8 next week, who is that snoring over there, hey wake up bob

Well, I guess some things never change. People tend to make too big a deal out of things positively or negatively.

Cubs aren't chasing the sox of 05 in any way other than trying to copycat the champs of the last few years in the sense mediocre teams winning it all.

The last two seasons have proven that the sox winning in 05 was just the luck of the draw, not the product of design. Maybe the cubs can be so lucky this year.

Arne Harris has been dead for six years now--way to stay current

The Sox followed '05 with a 90 win season. It was not "the luck of the draw". They were a good team. Their pitching staff went south. It happens. No one wins every year. Some don't win ANY year.

Thank you. I'm not much of a Cuubs Fan. But, I think the tradition of the Arnie Cam lives on. If I keep seeing what I'm seeing watching the Cuubs on TV, I might have to change teams.

In 05 the Sox were playing very poorly down the stretch. It took a couple big wins in their last showdown with Cleveland for them to get the momentum back. The pitchers were very good during the season, but got super hot in the 'offs. No one will ever see four back-to-back-to-back-to-back complete games again.

If the Cubs can get to the post, who knows. But they've got to win their division first. Brewers just beat the Braves, Cubs up only 1.5 games.

And don't forget, I think the WS Cards won only 83 games in the regular season last year. Again, another example of getting hot at the right time.

Heavy rain tonight in Cedar Rapids for the PG Kernels tournament this weekend. Its coming your way.

Gotta love beisbol.

Hope it dries out soon. Hi to our buddies on the Racine Hitters club and good luck to them. And tuzi, what exactly is a Cuub?

Yeah, it's set high at every corner tavern in Bridgeport! LOL.

The big question is, HAS THE BARTMAN WATCH STARTED?

Oh yeah Coach...there's posters and flyers stuck to everything on the Nort' side...

GW4SALE, simply put, YOU ARE THE BEST!

I don't care about what's happened in the past,or who has led by X number of games with X number to play. IMO, the Brewers will win out, especially with a suddenly inept San Diego team wrapping up their season. The Cubs will have to win 4 of their next 6 games to clinch this thing. I hope I'm wrong but this isn't over yet. JMO.

Rosy? Tortured party of one. Rosy? Your wheel is ready.

"Tortured party of one", highly doubtful. This party, unfortunately, is being attended by multitudes of followers.

I'd never seen the wheel before, interesting device. I guess if you've got a back back it might prove useful. Certainly more agreeable than the "rack".

rosy,

This so called torture should be fun,excitement,anticipation,glee and general merriment.

At least thats how we did it in 05.

This cub thing is such a burden.

There in like Flynn!

Relax, this is the good stuff.

0-3 in the NLDS!

Rosy? 'Goat herding' party of one. Rosy? Your 'Billy' is ready.

Come in off the roof rosy,fbdad and you other cubbie fans!

The Brew crew pulled another late inning collapse in the most hilarious of divisions.

Rosy? 'Bullet dodging' party of one. Rosy? Your 'Magic Number Three' has been found and is ready.

3 in a row to the bad year fish.

This is not how the Sox did it!

it is exactly how the cardinals did it last year.


the semiholes tim tebow

Cubs will win the division....Losing 3 in a row to the Fish isn't difficult at this stage of the game..but losing 3 in Cincy would be a disaster...BUT....SAN DIEGO WILL PREVAIL IN BREW TOWN...CUBS WIN...cUBS WIN..CUBS WIN... DOESN'T MATTER HOW YOU DO IT..IT ALL STARTS OVER WHEN THE PLAYOFFS BEGIN

Rosy? 'Empty creel' party of one. Rosy? Your 'State of Florida fishing license' has been inactive and is now revoked.

As The Coasters sang it perfectly 50 years ago: "why's everybody always pickin' on me?"

'cuz. It's your year rosy.

tim tebow and the gates bite the dust VS 2-2 Auburn.

After the Noles, the South Florida Bulls are clearly the States best team!

Nice timing as usual,FMB.

Rosy? 'Frequent Flying' party of one. Rosy? Your 'Flight of the Phoenix' is ready. Please bring your tray tables to their upright position.

Will the cubs have a crash landing.

Seems the movie's plot is similar to the cubbie quest.
