Best line from the whole piece. I place a curse on WGN for making me a Cubs fan. CURSE YOU WGN!

And thank you, WGN, for making me a Cubs fan.

 

Yankees are glad to see those hot Cubbie bats leave town!

6.5 out already, and April is barely half over.

 

On pace for a record year.

 

They're losing 110 games.

 

At least we seem to be able to beat up on the Diamondbacks. Can we play them 120 times this year?

 

Can Travis Wood bat for everybody?

 

Kevin Towers is the NLs best friend

 

Wrigley's birthday, so what do the Cubs do? They pull a Cubbie: give up 5 runs in the top of the 9th to lose 7-5.

GO CUBS!

 

We can't all be like those clubs in the magazines.

 

I'd have been pissed as shit if I went to that game and it didn't end like this.

Cubs are the dumbest spenders in all 4 major sports according to this.

 

That same article ranks the Marlins incredibly high because they spend 20m less that their competitors and only manage to be 10 games below league average in wins.

 

To me, the fact that the Marlins essentially rented 2 World Series titles in about 10 years is one of the most amusing things about the Cubs' string of futility

 

Yeah, but the more emphasis you put on wins and/or championships with the slider, the further they drop. If you put them both all the way up, Oilers are last, Cubs are second to last (congrats on moving up), and Marlins are 88th (out of 122)

 

Went to the Cubs v Backs game on Thursday. Highlight was drinking the 312 and talking to a dude from New Orleans.

 

Oh bought 2 tickets for $10 and sat in section 208 row 5.

 

Can we get that kid out to the park for the "Let's get some runs" every inning?

 

Getting embarrassing...

 

Getting?
