Chicago Cubs

[UCFish]

Exactly. I am not worried in the least. Still plenty of time for me to get worried.

[gocubsgo3822]

we sucked it up today but we will get better

[bothedmbfan]

I'm not worried, I'd just prefer to have one of the all time greats on my team so we can win it next year.

[Tiduwho]

You realize Choke-Rod and the Cubs would be a match made in Hell right?

[saygdbye4134]

good thing there are 162 more chances to not look like fucking horseshit.

[AFurth]

so tomorrow starts the beginning of the real cubs' season

[TheOtherside]

since the Cubs have won their opening day games the previous 3 seasons (and we all remember how those 3 went), i'd say it's a good sign they lost yesterday.

[Tiduwho]

Cubs Win! Cubs Win!


Ted Lilly, yeah baby! Nice debut. 7 innings, 1 ER, 9 Ks.

[Mel4AU]

:thumbsup

[TheOtherside]

that mound visit by Lou in the 9th was priceless :lol

"Throw some fucking strikes!"

[gocubsgo3822]

lilly looked really good tonight. Looked like it sucks to be a hitter tonight. Also it is nice that aramis is hitting since he normally doesnt show up till june.

[DMBCubs25]

Lilly looked great tonight, pretty worried about Marquis tomorrow, were gonna have to slug out a win probably. Nice to see aramis actually run on some routine singles too instead of just jogging to first. Loved the mound visit by lou in the 9th :lol :lol

[Ev42]

very good game, and i loved the mound visit in the 9th thats the coach that we need.

[bothedmbfan]

::mad that was dumb who ever did this is a loser.

[davehead86]

I still feel so bad for that Steve bartman dude. He didnt ruin the game, the team couldnt fuckin pull it together. That guy got a bum deal, a really bum deal.

As for the win today :bounce :multi

And the pitcher looked great, hopefully that mound visit is on youtube sometime soon.

I just listened to the Lee Elia tirade that he had back in 1983. It's featured in that guys' list of videos. Hilarious.

[dmbinchicago]

It's sure nice to watch ESPN and see baseball highlights. Especially when the Cubs win. Lilly will need to pitch well this year, and this was a good start. You know there will be a lot of scoring this year. All depends on whether a couple of guys can have big years on the pitching staff.

[davehead86]

^^
Pitching has been our big weakness of late.

[HolyCow]

Well Ted Lilly was extremely encouraging today.

How about this guy?

He had a lot of good clips on there before YouTube copyright bullshit hiccuped in. Including the 8th inning of Game 6, 2003 that auto-played when you entered...

my dad and i were talking about that last night since the Reds have Alex Gonzalez (not the former Cub, the former Marlin from that 2003 team, but he still reminded us of the latter). Gonzo is so lucky that Bartman got all the attention because if not he would be the goat and go down in history as another Bill Buckner. Bartman got all the shit when in reality he didn't cost the Cubs that game, Gonzo did when he botched that double-play ball. fuck....

it's 2007, 2007, 2007, 2007!!!!

go cubs.

I do feel bad for him, but not very bad.

Also, we might not have wasted $40 mil on Ted Lilly...

[JTRocks]

This guy I used to work with, his brother used to work with Bartman at some consulting firm up until a couple years ago, and he was telling me how Bartmans life has just sucked ever since 2003. He still gets harrased when he goes out and hes even lost friends over the whole thing. Yet he still lives on the north side. I dont know why the moron hasnt just moved to another state or at least on the south side.


btw bothedmbfan: is that quote by the girl who played the pink ranger from power rangers?

[bothedmbfan]

1. I thought he moved to Ohio, but I guess I was lied to.

2. You bet your ass it is, I love me some Amy Jo Johnson.

[Sutmaster6]

Are the Cubs for sale?

[bothedmbfan]

Yep, officially put up for sale 2 days ago.

*Prays to God that Makr Cuban buys the team*

No, Mark would do an even better job than we would.

[Bron Yr Aur]

This is painful to watch. These guys just plain SUCK. 10+ hits and only 2 runs to show for it? And how about Ohman. One batter, one walk, two wild pitches.

[bothedmbfan]

We'll get better in time.

[Tiduwho]

What the fuck just happened? They were winning, Marquis was looking great!

[bothedmbfan]

Bill Murray also wants to buy the Cubs.

Eyre and Howry are the ones that blow the game? Wtf??? That's supposed to be Ohman's job!


Wow, I think we can just about count this season out. Lock the thread.

[DMBCubs25]

damnet this is the same shit that happened last year, goddamn bullpen cant hold a lead to save there lives, i dont see the reds fucking up like that. and by the way soriano were paying you 136 million to contribute, not to do jack shit

[bothedmbfan]

Have we used Kerry Wood yet this year?

[SatelliteEyes]

Have we used Kerry Wood yet this year?

Your Disabled List is using him...again.

He's on the DL along with Prior. As usual.

[TheOtherside]

holy crap people, relax.

[bothedmbfan]

I thought Prior was in the minors?

Also, I forgot that he was on the DL.

Mark Cuban, please, for the love of all things holy(including Amy Jo JOhnson), buy our team.

[kgiles21]

we need help in the bull pen

[Ev42]

cubs won't be sold till the off season, i hope cuban buy the team also

[devilandthelord]

I agree that Cuban should buy the team. They definitely need a sweeping change and Cuban would be the one to do it. I don't even like him as a person, but I hope he buys the Cubs.

Someone has already bought them. I will have to try to find the article.

I've got a fantasy draft starting in about an hour if any of you fellow cubs fans want to join

Wrigleyville (ID# 310261)

Do you mean that someone has already bought the Tribune Co. and by default purchased the Cubs? Cuz yes, that happened. His name is Sam Zell, and he is the one who will almost surely be selling the Cubs.

Yup.. I misread that. Thank you for the clarification.

[DMBCubs25]

I know most people want us to sell to Cuban but I think it would be a much better play to sell to Jerry Colangelo, the mans already won a world series with the Diamondbacks, he has a good knowledge of the game, and has the desire to win as much as Cuban does

i would not mind him, but i think who ever buys the cubs will have to buy the park and cubs separately.

[tedies]

saw this thread and just wanted to say RALLY!! :lol sorry I watched the game today and was so pumped after that Hatteburg shot, I am now ready for the season! Fun little series we had good luck to ya :monkey

My grandpa grew up down the street from Jerry, and was in his wedding... so I hope he buys the team too :)

[davehead86]

I wonder if they are going to keep the park with the same name. It just wouldnt be right if it wasnt Wrigley Field. Im all for change in that park though. I really think they need to add on / demo some parts and make that park more accessable. Its a shit hole right now. But God help them if they change the out field wall or the scoreboard.

I heard somewhere (probably just a rumor) that they wanted to tear down the stadium and just start over.

I think someone would be killed if they did that.

Yeah, just keep playing in that decrepit old shithole. Yeah, its got character and charm, big deal. The Cubs need new digs. You think in 20 years that place will still be inhabitable? How about 50? It's gonna have to be replaced sooner or later, Cubs fans need to stop worrying so much about the ballpark and start worrying about the team.

I suppose it makes sense though, the Cubs do like to keep broken down relics of back when they almost won something, like Kerry Wood and Mark Prior.

A big fancy new ballpark hasn't helped the Brewers much either...:shrug

It sure has helped us watch games comfortably in 40 degree weather in April, not to mention the sight lines are better, there is ample parking for tailgating and it has all the updated amentities.

[bothedmbfan]

Wrigley Field is a huge tourist attraction though.

[SatelliteEyes]

Wrigley Field is a huge tourist attraction though.

eh, the Cubs are the Cubs. They have a rabid (clueless? ;)) fanbase and fans all over the nation, thanks to WGN. They'd sell out every game with a brand new stadium, and you'd all be a lot more comfortable.

[bothedmbfan]

Who says I'm not comfortable when I do go every summer?

[SatelliteEyes]

Who says I'm not comfortable when I do go every summer?

I am comfortable in the summer in Milwaukee too. I will also be comfortable tonight, when it is 30 degrees outside with an even lower windchill. Not to mention when it is pouring rain...or worse, blowing snow. The sight lines are better and the seats are all facing the field. It's a nice place to see a game, I promise. The biggest difference is that we have a tradition of 6 years of losing at our park, and you have a tradition of 100 years of losing in yours.

[SatelliteEyes]

Who says I'm not comfortable when I do go every summer...dodging falling concrete?

Fixed it for you.

Wrigley is lovely. I've only been to Miller, County Stadium, the Cell, and Wrigley, but it's the best experience by far.

[HolyCow]

I don't think people understand about Wrigley. There is something about it. Seeing a ball game there is so special. I have been to a bunch of other parks, but there is just something about Wrigley...

[SatelliteEyes]

Im sure you guys feel all warm and fuzzy about Wrigley, but its gonna come down sooner or later and it is terribly outdated and falling apart. May as well build a better one now.

Clearly, you are Cubs fans and are emotionally invested in the matter so you arent making objective statements. Im a sucker for baseball nostalgia, but the place is a dump.

You're better off turning it into a Cubs Hall of Fame type place/Museum than anything.

"Tearing down Wrigley would be a nightmare. They don't even need to play baseball there. Heck they could open it up for lunch and still get a ton of business." -Wilbon

Even though the Cubs did lose the series...I liked how they were getting production out of their 7 and 8 hitters in Izturis and DeRosa. The pitching doesn't look like it is going to revolve around Zambrano...but more of how the bullpen fairs. This division shouldn't require too much to win it...let's go Cubs! Sweep our way back to Wrigley where i'll be for the opener!

Wow the building debate is a little deeper than i thought.

Basically what I feel, an di think id speak for the majority of cubs fans. As long as you keep the scoreboard, the ivy covered brick outfield wall (even if it is farther out or added onto) and the big Wrigley sign on the front youd have a happy fan base with a new stadium and a great place to watch games with that wrigley feel still.

But that place isnt gonna get fixed anytime soon, becuase the neightbors are assholes and wont let the tribune (or who ever now) buy up their block to expand the stadium, if the new owners can do that then Wrigley would be a top competator in comfort and quality.

Suck it Brewers.

Wow, great seris for the Cubs, nice to see everything clicking well for the Cubs hitting and pitching wise. This seris is locked, and up next is the Astros who havent won a game so far.

Yeah dude. I paid $118 dollars for the season to watch Cubs games.

Apparently I didn't read the fine print that said "oh hey BTW... we blackout weekend day games for no apparent reason. And chances are you'll probably find many more games blacked out than you originally thought b/c they're nationally televised (which they're NOT in Boston b/c no WGN). But hey, thanks for all your money."

I did check gameday often during the game and caught replays, and I'm so upset I missed such a great game :(

Ugh, no kidding. He didn't have anything those first few innings.

[davehead86]

Phil we have a long long way to go. It's only April.

Dont crush my optamism now, if we dont celebrate while were winning then there is nothing to lookforward too.

But i see what your saying and I agree. But honestly barring any major injuries / mental brekdowns this year should go very well for us. Im not calling WS, but making the playoffs would be nice.

just a horrible game, i dont know how we are letting woody williams dominate us like that, truly pathetic, howry and the rest of the bullpen seriously need to get there act together too, theres no way in hell we shouldnt be able to win this division by at least 5 games, and no im not joking about the 5 games either

Hes got a point though. The hittign is there, but the fucking bullpen blows ass except for two or three guys.

This si just bullshit, you can buy as many good players as you want but it still wont produce without pitchers. Im just still holding out hope that the new guys are a little nervous in their first innings and can get it straight after a few weeks.

It's very frustrating. I'm giving them some time though. The baseball season is very long. Hopefully they will turn it around.

Have a good night Phil.

I don't think people understand about Wrigley. There is something about it. Seeing a ball game there is so special. I have been to a bunch of other parks, but there is just something about Wrigley...

I understand that there will be baseball tonight at Miller Park (Indians/Angels anyone?) and the weather has been for shit this week and it should continue through the weekend. Look for me if you catch the game, I'll be the guy behind the plate NOT freezing my ass off and dodging snowflakes while watching April baseball. :cool

I was there last night jacket free. It was in the mid 60s. All I am saying is that Wrigley should be torn down and a better place rebuilt. That's all.

And it isnt a dome. When the weather gets nice the roof opens and we play outside.

Your kiddign yourself if you think that isnt a dome type stadium, while its amazingly nice, that roof blocks so much wind that its almost not an issue.



And there is not one person in here that wouldnt love to see Wrigley torn down, the blocks around it bought up, and re built to better house the fans, while keeping some of the historical aspects of it.

[Tiduwho]

I'll take nostalgia and tradition over a new "modern" ballpark any day. Give me the piss troughs and the old scoreboard. It's what makes going to Wrigley fun. I live in a completely modern society 24/7, why would I need it to be the same at a baseball game?

If they want to add-on, or redo some parts go ahead. But tearing it down and starting over? Blasphemy.

[TheOtherside]

just having this discussion with my step-dad yesterday. keep the bleachers since they were pretty much rebuilt already, keep the score board (it's landmarked as it is so they couldn't tear it down with out a legal fight), rebuild the grandstands and just tack up the old marquee when it's done. let's be honest, the grand stands are dumpy, the outside of the stadium is less than aesthetically pleasing, and although i personally enjoy the piss troughs, they are kinda scary for the uninitiated. the great things about wrigley are the ivy, the scoreboard, the bleachers, the neighborhood, and the sight lines of the neighborhood rooftops and the lake beyond. as long as they don't move or tear down the bleachers, they can do what ever they want.


The only issue would be where they could play for a season while they gutted and rebuilt the grandstands. My dad suggested Miller Park and I thought they could probably retrofit Soldier Field for a season of baseball. I think the Cell would be out of the question, though.

ps - Good news! The Cubs won't lose today!!!

[SatelliteEyes]

I suggested turning Wrigley into a Cubs Hall of Fame, make it a museum of sorts. See if you can buy up some of the land in the area and build a New Wrigley somewhere nearby in the neighborhood. Hell, if you could get public funding for the stadium you might be able to get the land via emminent domain, but it would be litigated to hell and back before you could start digging.

I havent been to Wrigley in years, but if it is possible to keep the outfield section (scoreboard, bleachers, wall/ivy) while destorying the rest and then rebuilding it bigger and better I think that would be a good idea too. You'd likely need more space than you have now, but obviously not nearly as much you'd need to get a new park.

The thought of a Cubs home game at Miller Park makes me want to vomit. See if Soldier can host for a year.

[Ev42]

^ cub games at miller are already almost like a home game. and by the way the asshole that live in wrigleyville will never ok a new field, it took for ever to get the bleachers expanded.

There is plenty of room, it they can fit a spaceship in between the columns at Soldier Field, they could do it at Wrigley. Hopefully not a spaceship, though. There is a players parking lot and an old doughnut shop next to Wrigley on Clark, which would afford them enough room.


The thought of a Cubs home game at Miller Park makes me want to vomit. See if Soldier can host for a year.Why, because Miller would have more than 6 sell outs a year? ;)

No because Cub fans are irrepressible, loudmouthed, collar-popping douchebags and they make watching baseball unenjoyable.

That's the type of response I'd expect from a Cub fan. The Brewers and Cubs are really quite similar. The biggest difference is we've been losing for 37 years and you've been losing for 100 years. Oh, and I was alive the last time we made a World Series. Other than that, the two franchises are a lot a like. Their fans not so much.

I like the Brewers, grew up going to County Stadium more than Wrigley. That response has nothing to do with being a Cubs fan, it has do with the fact I just don't like your condescending attitude – which stems back to the football season when you invaded the Bears thread and claimed to be there for discussion when it was pretty obvious you were only there to trash the team, the fans, and the organization. Which is fine, I suppose, but here you are again, invading another Chicago thread trying to tell us all that Wrigley is a dumb and saying all Cubs fans are “collar-popping douchebags”. We get it; you don’t like Chicago sports teams. I don’t like the Packers very much and aside from the occasional, “Packers suck,” comment in their thread (all in fun), I stay out of there because I’m really not interested in the discussion. Perhaps you need to create a Brewers thread? Hell, I’ll do it for you; I am a Brewers fan after all.

Trash talking is one thing. I was at a game at Old County stadium when I was younger. I was sitting in the bleachers and witnesses a guy there with his 7-8 year old son, in the front row of the bleachers watching the game. 3 cub fans taunted the poor guy for 5 innings while the guy tried to ignore the game and pay attention to his kid. They were calling him a faggot, loser, etc etc to the point the kid was in tears. They eventually dumped a beer on him from behind and the guy and his kid left.

That's not trash talking.

Anyway, this whole thing started about a conversation regarding the obviously old and outdated Wrigley Field. How we got here I have no idea.

7 to 0. That's how it should be EVERY game.

My fantasy team would like to thank Rich Hill for today's performance. He's more than holding his own in a rotation of Jake Peavy, Ben Sheets, Felix Hernandez and CC Sabathia. Keep it up big guy.

nice rotation :thumbsup

Rich Hill is going to be GOOD though. Everyone stopped paying attention at the midway point, but in the second half of the season he was awesome. I had skybox tickets to a game where he was pitching and he was making guys look silly with his curve, he had 10+ strikeouts. He'll be good, trust me.


So far so good. He walked 4 today, but those are his first 4 walks all year (0 BBs in spring training). Career 3 to 1 K/BB ratio ain't too shabby. Him and Ted Lilly are the key to the season.

Zambrano always starts slow. He can't pitch in the cold or on Opening Day. He'll be in form by May guranteed.
