Wow. Is there any doubt now that this is going to happen?

That would be me as well. I can't believe some of us are getting sucked back into this.

How about if the Cubs just win this evening and we worry about tomorrow when that day comes?

I'm not getting sucked into anything. I'm just going to enjoy the rest of the season because October through April is a long, long time.

The Cubs are 7 games above .500. Sure, they've underperformed and aren't meeting our expectations...but are they <i>shitty?</i> Man...we've seen some shitty Cubs teams in my lifetime and I don't think this team qualifies.

Meh. This is the most disappointing and unlikeable Cub team I have seen in a while. The only reason they are 7 over is because they have played teams that are even worse than they are for the last few weeks. Coming into this month we were barely over .500. Never fear though because So Taguchi was brought up today!!!

[MW4]

Don't forget, we have 3 more games to play than the Cards, that could be 1 1/2 games right there [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif[/img] ...either way [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif[/img]

I'm not telling you how to feel about this team -- I agree, for the most part. They've underperformed. But they've also had to deal with a ton of injuries, while the Cards have stayed healthy.

All I'm saying is that I've suffered through seasons WAY worse than this one, and still watched most of the games.

Unlike a lot of people on the board, I don't really follow any other teams or sports. So when baseball has an offseason, I have an offseason. I just think about the Winter Meetings and free agency. And this offseason I can watch what Ricketts does. But I always miss having games to watch over the winter. Maybe that's just me, though...

That's fine. I don't have a problem with any of that. I just don't want you guys to let yourselves believe that this team still has a chance. It is over and has been for a while. I am actually very interested in the off season just to see what Ricketts does. I am sure by next April I will be ready for them to start as well but right now....I would almost rather not see a game of the rest of the season. This is by far the most disappointed I have ever been by one of my teams.
