Now that was fun.  I go to Buffalo Wild Wings over lunch yesterday to watch a bit of the Cub game… So I happen to be there during that 2nd inning.  Yikes - that was pathetic!  Leiber gave up 4 bombs in the 2nd inning alone which was a franchise record for one inning off of one pitcher (I’d hope).  The Reds went on to bomb the Cubs 9-0 and hit 7 HR’s off of their pitching.  Nasty!

So let me get this straight Lou.  You can take out Rich Hill in the 1st inning after giving up 1 run and no hits (sure, 5 walks sucks but still).  But when Lieber gives up 3 bombs in the 2nd inning alone you can’t take him out?  You have to wait til #4 gets rocketted into the bleachers?  And add insult to injury - Lieber was Hill’s replacement in the rotation when Lou sent him down to the minors.  Brilliant move as usual Lou-ser.  Something tells me you won’t be popping the champaign again this year!

First of all, we apologize for the delay on getting these results posted.  Who knew all this would fall on huge server issues.  Oh well, the important thing is we now have two winners to our Cubs Suckiness contest.  The entries were tallied and the results were drawn using “random.org” to generate the random numbers.  And the winners are:

1) Winner of the CubsSuckClub.com “Cubs Still Suck” shirt is kstolz

2) Winner of the cubs-suck.com “Century of Shame” shirt is white rat

Thanks to everyone who participated by commenting or submitting blog posts. Great work.  The winners will be notified via email - so please respond back ASAP and we’ll get you your shirts.

So much to cover and so little time.  I apologize for the lack of updates this week.  As I’m sure you all noticed, we had some major server issues yesterday and had to perform some upgrades which caused a chain effect of problems.  I think things are back and stable now - so thank you for your patience!!!  Still looking for a blogger or two to help me keep up here at CubsSuckClub.com - let me know if interested.  Onto the fun stuff…

1) It’s TIME!!! Cardinals vs. Cubs round 1.  We will in attendance at Busch Stadium tonight - if it doesn’t rain.  This year is different.  The Cubs typically suck all year and then roll the Cardinals.  This years Cardinal team won’t roll over to the Cubs, so beware Chubbies.

2) How about last night? LOL.  Huge loss in the 9th inning.  Kerry Wood = Ooops. Cubs back in 2nd place so that’s a good thing!

3) The contest… Due to the mentioned server problems - we haven’t put together the results yet.  Look for those to come out later this afternoon and the winners will be notified and posted on here.

4) Major shout out to CardinalsDiaspora.com for posting one of the best posts we’ve seen in a long time.  Don’t miss the Top 10 Reasons the Cubs Suck.  Huge props to them for coming up with this list and giving us some more ammo to use against the hopeless Cubbies.

5) C70 at the Bat is live blogging tonights Cardinals/Cub game.  They have a different website owner responsible for blogging each inning.  Pretty unique.  Head over there and give some of you Cub Hatred tonight if you get a chance!

That’s it for now!
