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!

Sports Illustrated is at it again. We are pretty sure their feature writers are Cardinal/White Sox fans. We all remember a few years back when they had the SI magazine curse on the Cubs. Well, check out the upcoming Sports Illustrated magazine cover with the headline: “It’s Gonna Happen”… LOL! Another year of disappointment is in the works I do believe. Fukudome is solid - but far from enough to break this 100 year curse. Be sure to pick up your copy of this magazine when it comes out as a reminder of why the Cubs truly are cursed!

Cmon Cubbies.  Not everyone is as horrible as the Pirates.  But the Nationals are!  If you are going to be the “powerhouse” of the Central and break that 100 year curse - you have GOT to beat the Washington Nationals for crying out loud.  The bats just went dead in this series as the Cubs looked like the Cubs of old again.  Honestly, they made John Lannan look like Cy Young out there.

Ok, so enough bashing of the Cubs in this series.  Let’s look ahead at what is in store.  Kinda a big week for the Cubbies.  Playing at home vs. the Brewers than travel to St. Louis for a 3 game weekend series.  Not a good time to “quit hitting” Cubbies.  Any thoughts on these series?  I think the Brewers come in and win 2 of 3 in Chicago and then the Cardinals take 2 of 3 at Busch to put a hurtin on the loveable losers.

I can hear all of you sheep now - but the Cubs are still in first place - blah blah.  The Redbirds are just .5 behind with Milwaukee only 2 out.  You just don’t have the team to run away with the division and hide - as much as you wish you did Cubs fans.

Go Brewers… Go Cardinals…

In case you missed the ESPN feature recently, they did a piece on “99 Years of Misery” that goes year by year and discusses the Cubs suckiness. Check it out here.

Unreal Jason! Anyone that makes these sort of remarks should be cut immediately and forced to work a normal paying job! Still glad you have him Cub fans? What a cancer!
