MLB Chatter 2008

Heads are rolling in Chicago. Kosuke Fukudome has been benched, Ryan Dempster has been moved to the bullpen and Zambrano will start any potential Game 5.

Too little too late, when the Cubs are golfing next week is when they will fire everyone, but that's way too little way too late.

Always next year Cub fans.... maybe....
 
Way to go Brewers! Not that I am necessarily rooting for them - though a Milwaukee / Tamps World Series would be hilarious ratings wise - but I love when a team on the brink fights back and wins like this.
 
Why the hell did the Cubs wait until the fifth to change pitchers?

Don't get me wrong, I ain't complaining, but still...

yes I hope they arnt the only one to do that this post season, still good bye Cubs, I was expecting better from them.

oh well I might get the Dodger / Red Sox I kinda like the idea of
 
It's over. Dodgers win 3-1 and move on. I feel for the Cubs fans here. To say this was surprising is an understatement of gross proportions. What happened?

OTOH, I like seeing the Dodgers move on because of Torre and the way the Yankees got rid of him.... all while the Yankees missed the post season.
 
The sweep is complete. That is just sad. I feel for Cub fans everywhere but man this team forgot they had more games to play or something.
 
Depressing isn't quiet the word for it. Angels and Cubs both should feel disappointed in how short their seasons went (Angels are out yet but...).

It's heartbreaking. The team should be all there next year but something about the Cubs is so infuriating. They have so much talent this year but still couldn't get it going. Zambrano isn't to blame but he does have his good games and bad games. He is a bit streaky. But he isn't to blame. The whole team fell apart.
 
A SWEEEEPPPPPPPPPP!!!!!!!

I can't believe it! I can't freakin' believe it!

This is our first sweep since 1963, and on our 50th anniversary!

Me too, I love it. Where are his damn Yankees? No where! Karma is a bitch Yankees.

And the Cubs are so bad Yahoo has the story twice in the top several stories! Now that's bad!
 
I just don't know what happened to the Cubs. Someone who follows them more closely is going to have to pipe up here. It happens so often that players who do so well in the regular season, just can't seem to break through in the playoffs. It didn't seem to be any one single player. Nobody seemed to hit the ball well. Uncharacteristic errors in fielding. Kurkjian was saying that Hardin hadn't looked too good in his last two starts, but over the long haul he did well.

I really feel for you guys, JKTim, Emh and the rest of Cubs fans here.
 
As a Dodgers fan, I honestly feel bad for the Cubbies. This was supposed to be your year. Century mark and all... and the only reason the Dodgers came out on top of the NL West is because the rest of the division sucked even more than we did through the first half. If the Dodgers weren't in this I'd be behind the Cubs...

As for the Angels... they won the 2002 WS. I got to go to one of the games. I was really kind of hoping for a "freeway series" this year, but it looks like that's not meant to be.

As a Dodgers fan... IN YOUR FACE, SHITCAGO!!! NLCS here we come!

Sorry, but Big Blue hasn't swept in the postseason since before I was born... Lookng to the future, I am now hoping for the chance to make Boston regret ever sending us Manny... though I'd actually rather see the Rays in the series. Those kids have worked damned hard and they deserve a shot.
 
This is shaping up to be a day of sitting in front of my big flat screen TV watching sports all day.

Two potential clinching games along with a full slate of football!

Unfortunately, the Rays game clashes with the Pats later, so I'll have to flip back and forth a lot.

FUCK THIS GROUP OF GODDAMN GUTLESS FUCKING ASSHOLES

Jesus Christ, what a pathetic series. What a pathetic Game 3. They were just trying to hit home runs with every batter. Like when Lee struck out and threw his temper tantrum. Small ball was completely thrown out the window. They weren't trying to get on base, they were all trying to be some Chicago hero.

Fucking Soriano. What a worthless douche. I'm sure glad he's getting $20 million a year for the next half-decade.

Yeah, the Cubs had a great regular season. All that does is mean you get a post-season appearance. This is what happened. Can't blame it on injuries. Can't blame it on home field advantage. Can't blame it on Bartman. Five errors? Not gonna win. Giving up ten runs at home? Not gonna win. Play like a bunch of pussies, shitting themselves all over the field like incontinent two-year-olds? Not going to fucking win.

I've been anxiously awaiting this rant. I must say, I expected more.



;)

After Beckett completes the sweep of the Angels, I'll show you what a rant is...

:scream:
 
The Cubs are like a long-term girlfriend who cheats on you every year.

Except she doesn't just cheat on you. She goes out and finds some street thugs from the projects, and she lets them gang-bang her. She even lets them nail her in the ass. She never lets you nail her in the ass. And she lets them videotape it. And then she swaps out your DVD of Ghostbusters with the DVD of her getting fucked six ways from Sunday, and just when you're expecting to see Peter Venkman, you're looking at your girlfriend with a dick in her ass and a nutsack in her mouth.

And then you get pissed-off, and you get angry, and you're furious.

And then, two weeks later, you take her back.

Only for her to do it all over again next year.

The worst part, now, is trying to figure out what to do in the offseason. The only free agents coming off the books this winter are Dempster, Howry, Wood, and Edmonds. Beyond that, almost every high-priced player on this team has a no-trade clause, and the length and dollar amount of the contract on Soriano is the equivalent of a no-trade clause.

Guh.
