1. We cannot lose today
2. We cannot lose ground today to the Cards
3. No one can get injured (well, highly unlikely)
4. No black cats can run across the field.
5. No game to schedule your activities around (we may have a lot of those a little sooner than expected)
6. No Pooholes highlights on MLB/ESPN
7. The White Sox stand a good chance of getting smashed in Boston.
8. Bradley and Zambrano can't be ejected/suspended or trash the gatorade cooler.
9. Certain goats won't be denied access to the seating area at Wrigley.
10. We won't see Alf butcher any plays in Left, swing at balls in the dirt, or watch him slowly walk back to the dugout.
11. Kevin (no lead is safe) Gregg can't give away the ballgame.

NOTE: Most of the above is blatant SARCASM.
Fat Bastard is an immensely obese, hardly able to walk (weighing a metric ton) gardener and henchman hailing from Scotland. His extreme size endows Fat Bastard with super-human strength as exhibited by his prowess in the Sumo ring from Goldmember. This makes him a formidable enemy for Austin Powers. Fat Bastard is noted for his foul temper, his frequent flatulence, his vulgar and revolting bad manners and his unusual eating habits, which include taste for Human infants (which he calls "the other other white meat") or anything that looks like a baby, e.g. small people. Fat Bastard has been a regular at Cub games since the early 80's when he tried several times (unsuccessfully) to eat the visiting San Diego Chicken.

Chances are I wouldn't care or be paying any attention to anything baseball related tonight even if we were playing.
The offseason has already begun as far as I'm concerned.

I think it started during the PHI series for me. The only game I've watched in the last couple weeks is the one that finally cost Gregg his job.

I really just wanted to post that picture somewhere. this was the first place I found.
Also, it's obvious you don't get it.

I'm with Rok. We're done. No reason to keep watching and I can't actually remember the last time I tuned into a game. It's going to be a very long off season. But I still love you guys.
I'm 100% fine with this. I'm just glad there's an actual plan in place that isn't, "Let's load up on retreads and hope we get lucky." I'm a little tired of that plan.

I can't turn it off just because the season has reach the point of futility. I like winning. I like hope. But I like baseball so I keep watching. I care about what happens with the cubs even if the post-season is off the table.
Maybe it's because I only have a passing interest in most other major sports so nothing comes in to takeover Cubs mindspace but I just can't turn it off till the last game is played.

I feel the same way about other sports, but there is so very little to be happy about or look forward to on a daily basis (maybe watching Wells or Fox develop), that I have pretty much tired of the game for the remainder of the season. I'm sure that once October rolls around, I will be curious to watch a few innings here or there, but overall I don't care what happens.

I just know that in the middle of winter, I'm going to miss having baseball to watch. I always do -- even if it's mediocre baseball. I'm not going to be glued to every game, but I'll still watch.

Make sure you have the MLB network. It was a lifesaver the past winter.

I wasn't gonna watch any baseball, but I'm glad I turned on the Sox game. All I have to say is the 3rd inning was pure hilarity and Hawk was in rare petulant form. Comedy gold!
