I remember the Saturday night after game 4, my dad breaking down in tears because he believed we would be win the series.


Makes me think your dad wasn't a long time Cubs fan.

I was so excited after game 4 that I didn't even give a shite that they lost game 5. I knew we had Prior and Wood and that there was no way they were losing both of those games at home. Post game 7 was the most depressed I've ever been after a sporting event, including walking out of the Superdome after 1/9/12.

And I really thought 2008 was going to be the year. I thought Karma was finally catching up with the Cubs with the 100 year deal. I still blame Crane Kenney for having the priest bless the dugout before game 1. frick that guy.

Game 4 was just so wonderful. The granny by Aramis, first by a Cub in the playoffs ever btw.

I really wish that as a fanbase our trips down memory lane weren't about how we pissed away a golden opportunity.

I'm a Cubs fan, but a bad one. I haven't really payed attention since they ripped out my heart and shite on it in 2003. I still have a place in my heart for those 80's and 90's teams though.

Cuba history of awful SSs since make me wary of Castro.



Are you thinking of Fidel Castro?

Starlin isnt Cuban


and how can you say we pay way too much. He's 23, locked in until 2020, and is making about $7mil per year.

Elvis Andrus just signed an 8year extension that will pay him double that.

overpaid? Cuban?

Stupid auto correct. Supposed to be "Cubs" history of bad shortstops.

I don't think he'll continue to perform. I sincerely hope he can turn my opinion of him around.

If you had any ability to comprehend you would realize it was a typo and that he probably meant Cubs...keep up the hard work at being a dick though

Well... When we haven't won in over 100 years there is not much to talk abt! I remember a time when I was a Saints, hornets, and cubs... I didn't know what success felt like (even thought I might even be cursed) until the Saints came through

I somehow view the tigers championships different from a professional championship (not less just different)

Alot of players on the DL but if we can go 4-3 to open Wrigley ill be happy.
As far as expectations, id like tosee us hovering around the .500 mark.

Since all you want to do is pick fights with everyone you disagree with, I'll go ahead and point out your dumbass comments as well.

shite, he's only 23. He's already led the league in hits, is a 2 time All-Star, HRs, RBIs and steals have gone up every year, and he's durable; longest active games played streak in the NL.

If he tightens up his defense and takes a few more walks, we are talking about one of the best players in the MLB.

my bad.

honestly i dont see what past SS have to do with him. He led the league in hits as a 21 year 2 years ago and last year was pretty consistent. His defense hasn't been good but will only get better

Castro is overrated. We paid way too much. Way too much



That was a very team friendly contract. I really wish he could draw a fricking walk, but he is well worth the money. His current level of play warrantsa the contract, and he will only get better.

Samardzija looks fantastic today, but it is the Pirates.

There's one for the Castro haters... Should be close to routine for a player getting paid as much as him apparently
