Loveable Losers...just getting outcoached

[maxdemo]

Joe Torre vs Lou Piniella.....these are 2 totaly different coaches even though they are close in age...Lou looks as if he is lost, while Joe never shows any emotion..

This is only the Dodgers’ second postseason win in 20 years...20yrs thats a long time and they go and take the 1st game to go upp 1-0....

Cubs are done and will be lucky if they go to LA 1-1.

Still have a hard time understanding why you would get some kind of joy or satisfaction over watching another team lose. Especially a team that has never beaten you out of anything, and whose fans are long-suffering like Cubs fans.

Honestly I just cannot grasp it. I don't really care, but it's just astonishing to me.

I guess better than most RF. I had to work everyday for 2 weeks but the OT was nice. I had a little roof damage so I'm trying to get a new one. Thanks for asking.

As far as rooting against the Cubs, it's easy to do so. I hate them.

this last month was the worst that we have had since we opened 20+ years ago...we only lost power for a few days but ther e are over 35,000 people that are still w/out power and everyone is not spending $$ on the kind of services we offer.

Maybe it has something to do with their fans, who despite not having won in 100 years act like their the greatest team of all time. Maybe it has something to do with the arrogance showed by the majority of their fans.

I live in Chicago and laughed at Cubs fans for the last month. They never learn to way until it happens. You can argue and say that all fans do that but it's a lie. In 2005 the White Sox were clearly the best team in baseball but you didn't hear them running their mouth like they already got to the World Series.

When Cub fans cut back on the obnoxiousness some of the talk may stop. It's just hilarious to see their fans boo the team after one game.

Get off your high horse. I love watching the Cubs lose. I love seeing their miserable fans eat their words because they deserve it. Sorry if this isn't you, but a lot of the fans do behave this way.

This is what you call a knee-jerk reaction.

Bingo we have a winnerope:

 

[D2bets]

Look who's running their mouths now after 1 measly ballgame. Cubs even it up tonight and take the edge in the series right back coming back with Harden and Lilly.

 

[FairWarning]

Sox were clearly not the best the year they won. They got a huge break on a dropped third strike or they are down 2-0 going back to Anaheim.

 

[D2bets]

The best team most definitely does not always win. The year the Cardinals won they simply weren't that good. The prior year they were the best team and they didn't even make the World Series. That is the nature of baseball for sure. It's just about winning the games at the right times and being in the right place at the right time.

Beg to differ. One of the most dominant postseason pitching performances in the history of baseball.

Back to the Cubs and their fans. TH is right on the money. After the season they had, I couldn't believe my ears when I heard the booing after they lost last night. The Cubs and their stupid fans and their greedy ownership deserve another 100 years of futility.

I am not on a high horse. I never have been. I think the Cubs are the best team in the NL this year but have not even said it and have not talked shit. Period.

It's hilarious to see their fans boo after one game? Reminds me of the Patriots last week...

I hate to tell you this, but the only obnoxiousness is coming from Cubs haters. It is true.

But to start thread after thread about it? That goes a little further than hoping a team loses...:think2:

quick glance at Piniella's October scorecard with the Cubs reveals more than a few flaws.

In Game 1 of the 2007 NLDS he lifted starter Carlos Zambrano after six innings and just 85 pitches. The score was tied and Piniella was looking to save Big Z for a potential Game 4. The Arizona Diamondbacks -- clearly relieved to have Zambrano off the mound -- rallied for two runs in the seventh inning off Carlos Marmol and the Cubs lost 3-1 on their way to being swept out of the first round.
Piniella's decision to worry so far into the future was dissected all offseason.

Fast-forward to Thursday.
Dodgers Game 1 starter Derek Lowe indicated he would be open to pitching a potential Game 4 on three days' rest if needed. Playoff-experienced manager Joe Torre was asked if he would use Lowe, and waved away the question.
''First of all, we don't know if there's going to be a Game 4,'' Torre said before Game 2. ''I'm still superstitious in that regard to name a Game 4 starter before I knew there was going to be one.''
This time, Piniella stuck too long with Game 1 starter Ryan Dempster, who clearly couldn't find the strike zone and was not going to recover. After issuing seven walks, Dempster still was on the mound to yield James Loney's fifth-inning grand slam.
Then there is the case of right fielder Kosuke Fukudome. Piniella benched Fukudome down the stretch after his hitting woes showed no signs of being reversed. Piniella returned Fukudome to his lineup for the NLDS -- putting hot-hitting Mike Fontenot on the bench -- citing his defense as the reason. But he put Fukudome in the No. 2 spot in the lineup in Game 1 and got an ugly 0-fer.

How's that dick taste now after your Cubs choked again? Losers, always have been, always will be.

It's people like you that make the Cubs losing even more enjoyable.
