after 100+ years of losing, they're still not over it!

This picture made my afternoon ... Thanks!

...because the near (and perhaps distant) future will not treat you kindly.

there's a cubs can, sitting in the corner of VEB, ready to pounce! bad thing is he hasn't had any footing for 100 years.

would they be able to gloat if they did win? of course, that's a given, but i like to think that the cubs have gone from a decent team bringing up players from their farm system into a money powerhouse and buying their talented players.

I also think that zambrano will never win a cy young award, no matter how much my cub friends say he will, he's good but not award good.

that look on her face says it all... the moment of realization... her team is cursed

Cubs fans. After saying this ("One of my best friends is a Cub fan") , for the most part, they annoy the living he!! out of me.

Case in point. At a karaoke bar with my '34 Dizzy Dean jersey on. Some douchebag Cub fan comes up to me bragging about the Cubs, and while I agreed that yes, the Cubs likely will be better than the Cards this year; I said this:

"The MOMENT you win the World Series this year (as the guy boldly predicted), the drinks are on me."

Would I do that if I were certain they'd win? Heck no. But as I said to him, the Cubs always find a way to blow it; they simply can't finish the job. Look at their playoff runs (or almost-runs) since the '60s. THEY SIMPLY DON'T FINISH WHAT THEY START. Blame Steve Bartman, the damn Billy Goat, the Amazin' Mets or whatever; at some point, your franchise has to have smell-blood-in-the-water closers, on offense, defense and the mound (and PERHAPS a bit of luck).

Unfortunately, for us Card fans, it is merely inevitable numbers-wise that the Fubbies will win a title in our lifetime. The problem I have with that is the fact that if our team won the next five titles in a row, we'd never hear the end of how great the (fill in the year here) Cubs were.

Reminds me of when the '85 Bears won the Super Bowl. All Bears fans could talk about was how great their team was. Granted, they were pretty good, but as I told a friend:

"When you're team wins four (now five) Super Bowls, give me a call."

One of the best reasons why it's been great to be a lifelong Steeler fan. ;)

Yes, your team has been doing that for...

ONE HUNDRED YEARS!!!

you troll

lets see....other than the cubs and the d-rays....every team clings to the past in some way or another. Cub fans can cling to the future all they want but the sad sad truth for all cubbie fans is we all know what your future holds....cub fans just refuse to accept the logic. Here is logic...logic tells us for the past X number of years the cubs will eventually lose without winning a world series....plain and simple. Thank the good lord above I am not a cub fan.

You don't need logic to know that the Cardinals are fielding a Triple-A team at best come Monday. This is the big leagues, not the minor leagues. Perhaps if LaRussa and upper mgt would stop bickering about who has control of your team, someone will address your obvious lack of talent. You can count the days until your savior, Carpenter, returns, but even a Cy Young winner won't be able to help your team gain 20 games in the standing in 2 months. Have fun battling the Pirates for the cellar and playing the underdog role all season long.

Maybe a AAA rotation...but the lineup looks pretty solid aside from the DP combo. The bench should be strong. And the bullpen should be one of the best in the majors especially when Perez and Motte come up.
