Default I think I've had this discussion.....

Sorry all you Giants fans, when it comes to the National League, I have to root Cubs. Of course they'll choke again but that's why it's fun - just like in Cleveland, "there's always next year!"

Go Giants
Go Angels
And right now Schmidt is out with an injury. (*)(*)(*)(*)! Our bullpen sucks. But we do have Bonds and J.T. Snow. Seems the Giants have always had top hitters and mediocre pitching.

Default Sounds like us!

The Indians have the same problem - seems like we've never had the right starting pitching. Even in our dream year of '95. Our starters though have been pretty good this year - it's that non-existent bullpen that has killed us.

But lately, we haven't even been able to hit! For a team who averaged almost 6 runs a game for most of the season, we haven't been able to score more than 4 for almost two weeks. Very frustrating - the entire lineup is in a slump.

Default Keep on believing

:ats TB on the head::

Go ahead and believe whatever you want. Maybe it'll work for you. It hasn't worked for us for 56 years (our last series win was 1948 - I know we have nothing on the Cubbies or Red Sox but we feel it too

We've also never won a Super Bowl though and I don't if the Cavs have ever won a title (we came close when I was in high school - stupid Michael Jordan).

Default Question...

The guy in the stands who caught that ball and ruined it for the Cubs...

Has he committed suicide yet?

The last time I saw the Cubs play the Giants, there were a dozen or so people dressed like that guy, all sitting in the same area of the stands.

If I were him, I'd move to Alaska.

I'm loving your new signature quote there rod.

Thanks. I try to please. That's the third one I've had in a month or less.

Another quote that might fit me:

Quotes are a serviceable substitute for wit.

I have a database with over 1000 quotes and it's growing on a regular basis. (I've probably mentioned that before. I tend to repeat myself.)

Here's one I just read tonight

"You mean Jeb, the man so accursed by God he has George Bush for both father and brother."

And by the way, don't you think that poor baseball fan has been pilloried enough? It was in the heat of the moment.

(But then I am not a Cubs fan, so...)

Default Farnsworth goes on 15-day DL

...for a foot injury incurred by KICKING A FAN!!!

No, it wasn't the foul ball guy, it was the kind that spins around. He did this last night after giving up 6 runs.

I feel bad for the guy but ... well, who knows, maybe the rest will do him - and the Cubs - some good.
