Again i just want to point out something

The 3 teams that Theo and Hoyer had control of over last year all in last place

SDP last in NLW

BOS last in ALE

CHC last in NLC

just saying

 

[ZDemp34]

Wow Brett Myers. The Cubs hitters had no chance.

 

[ZDemp34]

And yet another great outing by a Cubs starter goes to waste because they can't fucking hit ANYTHING

And all the teams Jim Hendry has been involved with are in last place as well. We were fucked no matter what this season.

Eight straight. This is hard to watch if you're a Cubs fan. What happened?

You're new here aren't you...

 

[Rice Cube]

Nothing "happened"...the Cubs were playing slightly better than their talent level and now are equalizing it by playing worse than said talent level. It will all gradually even out.

Any team that has Joe Mather batting 5th deserves to lose.

INREHIFATCRN #3

I'm sticking with Star Trek TNG until the losing streak ends. I went with episode 151 "Timescape" as the inrehifatcrn for tonight. Again if you aren't geeky enough to know what I am talking about here is a synopsis. The episode involves the Enterprise and a Romulan warbird being stuck in different zones of time which move at different rates. The Enterprise and the Romulan warbird are stuck in a zone in which time is moving infinitesimally slow. The Enterprise appears to be under attack, and at one point the ship blows up and then time moves backwards. Here is what I am referring to:

The metaphor is pretty obvious that the roster will be blown up and that we are either stuck moving very slowly or backwards as an organization at the moment. Really it feels as though we are watching the slow death of this season. I feel like I am almost to the fun bad state with the Cubs. Like Picard in this scene:

I liked that episode but forgot what the acronym you're using means

well deserving no. losing yes. I dont think the wording with you was right on this one. they are also rebuilding, no shock that a crappy player is in the 5 slot. if it was a team trying to contend than its an issue.

 

[Capt. Serious]

C'mon the guy wouldn't even be on many teams bench let alone batting 5th.

 

[dabynsky]

incredibly nerdy reference explaining how I feel about the Cubs right now. Just something I've been doing to keep myself sane while feeding my baseball addiction with bad baseball.

 

[dabynsky]

C'mon the guy wouldn't even be on many teams bench let alone batting 5th.

and yet he is outhitting the guy you guys trotted out for the first month and a half at 3B :thinking:

 

[Rice Cube]

C'mon the guy wouldn't even be on many teams bench let alone batting 5th.

Well, yeah. The Cubs are in rebuild mode and they're not going to go balls out right now to get actual MLB players that cost money.
