Official "2008 Cubs World Series or Bust" thread!
 
Congratulations to the 2008 NL Central Champs. Back to Back!

As a lifelong fan, I am pleased with the playoffs. It's our first back to back playoff appearance in 100 years. However, I will not be satisfied unless they win it all. This is most likely the best team in franchise history. Let's enjoy the postseason ride in here Cubs fans.

Go Cubs Go!

The best on-going saga in sports is the Loveable Losers not winning a World Series. I say keep the story alive for future generations.

I say watch some soap operas if you want on going saga's.

This is definately the best Cub team I can remember. I am just ready for the play offs to start.

PShabi 09-21-08 06:21 PM

Blow it out your ass. Seriously.

Penguinfan 09-21-08 07:32 PM

Come on, we've already put up with the Red Sox ruining that part of the fun.

Let the Cubbied lose, they're more popular as losers than they would ever be as winners.

PShabi 09-21-08 07:37 PM

"Loveable Losers" has been out the window for several years now. Cubs fans will turn on a player almost as quickly as Philly fans nowadays.

Cubs fans today want a WS pennant and that's it.

Cubs win WS + Cuban buys the team = the most popular franchise in american sports. Hands down.

Penguin,

You know baseball is rigged, right?

Reel Deal 09-21-08 11:31 PM

This is the year. I can feel it.

Good Luck Cubbies, I'm still hoping the Brewers can somehow get in, but I don't know what the fuck happened to them.

JDMcNugent7 09-22-08 07:06 PM

cubs suck they'll blow it like always

jillaj 09-22-08 07:33 PM

you know what you can do too.

jillaj 09-22-08 11:07 PM

btw you should thank marquis tonight. He kept you guys in it.

jillaj 09-25-08 10:21 PM

So Shabi what do you think the rotation order should be? If Z wasn't a mental midget i would put him 2nd or 3rd and put Dempster 1st. But I don't know if he can handle that.

I wish Ward could get his head out of his fat ass. I don't know if he will make the playoff roster with how bad he has looked lately. At least Hoffpauer looks to be a stud and can be the lefty coming off the bench.

jillaj 09-25-08 11:21 PM

Well according to this it is Dempster starting the 1st game.

PShabi 09-25-08 11:25 PM

I'm glad they are going with Dempster. He's been rock solid all year round and has quickly become one of my favorite Cubs. A true "gamer." Honestly, I can't decide if I would go with Harden-Zambrano or vice versa. If Dempster wins game 1, I'd like to see Harden go in game 2. I know they will most likely set the rotation early and give both pitchers a chance to mentally prepare.

PShabi 09-28-08 05:08 PM

Wonder what time Pujols and LaLoser tee off tomorrow?

PShabi 09-28-08 05:08 PM

Bring on the Dodgers.

PShabi 10-01-08 02:51 PM

Here's to the start of a long, fruitful October for the Cubbies. This is OUR year!

:cheers:

Got the new sig goin' Shab... let the countdown begin!!

Go Cubs!!!

Kurn 10-01-08 09:19 PM

Shabi, your boys better get off their donkeys. I do not want to go through October hearing "Mannywood!"

jillaj 10-01-08 09:52 PM

Dumpster needs to cleans the piss off his leg. Maybe he can stand next to Soriano who can air dry it for him with another bullshit attempt at a hit.

jillaj 10-01-08 10:15 PM

Good call dumbass.

Reel Deal 10-01-08 10:33 PM

This just in... another Dodger batter gets a free pass to 1st. Fuck.

PShabi 10-01-08 10:57 PM

Easy, ye of little faith. Dempster, who has been our ROCK all season, did piss his fucking socks. That was embarassing.

They played with their assholes puckered up all night. Now we're in a must win game tomorrow with a volatile big Z on the hill. He better be the "good Z" or we're in deep shit.

It's going to be a long day at work tomorrow waiting for this. We can still do it.

P.S. On top of a shit game, I went to In n Out for a burger afterward and when I came out, some asshole had hit and run my truck in the parking lot. Cursed.
