What Just HAppened to the Cubs?
up 3-0, they give up 8 runs in one inning to blow the game. A potential out was botched by one of the fans, who is now being treated like Julius Rosenberg by WGN, of course the botched double play by the Cubs shortly after hurt them much more.
...wow
DO the Cubs answer right back to claim what is rightfully theirs? Or Does the curse of the Billygoat maintain?

Re: What Just HAppened to the Cubs?
What happened to the Cubs? Their infamous post-season collapse curse. And a positive blowout. I mean, they let eight runs score in one inning. If anything, it's gonna be an interesting game seven.Darth Fanboy wrote:up 3-0, they give up 8 runs in one inning to blow the game.

The escorted the fan out with multiple armed guards surrounding him, because quite literally, most fans would have killed him.
But in retrospect, that asshole cost the cubs the game. that would have been the second out, farnsworth would have then pitched the strike out, or anything less than a double would not have mattered, and the cubs would have won the game. that stupid little motherfucker cost the team the game. A fucking postseason Cubs game was ruined by a fucking cubs fan. You cannot believe the frustration. Its, unnuterable. FUCKFUCKFUCKFUCKFUCK>...

That fan fucked it up, but there's no fucking excuse for giving up 8 runs in an inning in the Goddamn playoffs. None. They turn that double play, nobody gives a shit what that fan did.
And Kerry Wood just gave up a 3 run homer. Fan-fucking-tastic.

I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who constantly says: "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action"; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a "more convenient season."

I'm going to bet a 1920s era German Deutschmark that it's going to be Marlins by at least 10-5. Which will suck, but there's a chance that the Red Sox will take out them damned Yankees in their game seven.RedImperator wrote:And now they're doown 7-5 in the sixth. See how that works?

You cannot blame this one guy, he was one of at least a half dozen people reaching out for it, if he hadn't gotten up someone else would have grabbed it. And there is no guarantee they would have won. Any team that can give up eight runs in an inning is not one whose performance I would have faith in.Dark Hellion wrote: But in retrospect, that asshole cost the cubs the game. that would have been the second out, farnsworth would have then pitched the strike out, or anything less than a double would not have mattered, and the cubs would have won the game. that stupid little motherfucker cost the team the game.

You're an asshole. I hate you. Seriously. Anyone who isnt a Cubs fan has no fucking idea how much this sucks. I lost count of how many fucking cigarettes i've smoked over the past two days. Anyone who dosnt get how much this sucks, imagine this: you're fucking a girl, her name is Aphrodite, you are humping her... You feel golden. The best orgasm you've ever had is welling up...

Yes, that was the sort of craptacular blowout people have come to expect from those loveable losers. Now mind you, I'm a Cubs' fan, but when a team gives up eight runs in a single inning, they really have nobody to blame but themselves.Sea Skimmer wrote:You cannot blame this one guy, he was one of at least a half dozen people reaching out for it, if he hadn't gotten up someone else would have grabbed it.

Nothing personal, I just despise Chicago politics and Chicago sports teams.You're an asshole. I hate you. Seriously
If hating the Cubs makes me an asshole, so be it.
GO CUBS! And take the BEARS and BULLS with you.
And as a Steelers fan, I'm suffering a little heartbreak right now myself.

I just saw it on the news, I think that's fucking hilarious, but then again, my hatred of major sports is a factor.
For example, in the current world cup of rugby, I'm an Australian, but I'm cheering for England and New Zealand, just because my country hates them.

IIRC they also have a police guard stationed at the guys house 24 hours a day at the moment. And the fans who were ready to slaughter the guy need to be shot with bean bags, too. that's fucking rediculous. Rules are rules. that ball was fouled. The guy caught the ball fair and square. Tough shit for the Cubs. quit fucking bitching and play baseball.
to quote tom Hanks:
"Are you....Are you crying? Crying?! THERE'S NO CRYING IN BASEBALL!!"
Unless you're a Cubs fan.
and don't go off on me cause i'm not a Cubs fan, I know all about disappointment. I'm a RABID dolphins fan. So suck it up and try again next year. At least you didn't get beat by a suck ass team 62-10.

It is not that guy's fault. He didn't flub the double play. he didn't lob meatballs over the plate and give up a dozen hits in an inning. he didn't totally collapse and give up 8 runs in one inning. HE DIDN'T CHOKE AND DROP THREE GAMES IN A ROW IN THE LEAUGE CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES. The guys on the field did, so if irate Cubs fans are looking for someone to harass they need to look no further than their own bullpen.Chardok wrote:IIRC they also have a police guard stationed at the guys house 24 hours a day at the moment.

Stop fucking whining Cubs. Maybe, you know, the Marlins DESERVED to win?! I watched the entire game last night on my mlb account until 4.50am and I'm so fucking sick of sob stories about the Cubs and this billygoat bullshit that I am glad the Marlins won, because they just get on with the game and don't try blaming one fan for a humiliating series collaspe.
I hope the Marlins win the WS and destroy those Yankee scum in the final.
