Derrick Lee sucks.

THIS may be an overstatement. Guy's about to hit his 300th career homerun.

Actually, the Cubs don't suck this year either. They are top ten in the league in average, obp, and slugging.

AND they're 11th in ERA.

The fact that they have to play in the same division as the Cardinals hurts, but honestly obamaismyuncle, you couldn't be more wrong about it.

i don't think Cubs suck, but i have them on the ass-end of a parlay with the Yanks, and i'll tell you what, i've been waiting all day for the kick in the pills. my bad beats don't discriminate much, but they seem to come a lot when i back or fade the Cubs. same with backing the Tribe. i think i'm better off with totals on those teams and just rooting for them to win without risking bankroll. that said, fading Morton + Pirate bullpen is never a bad proposition.

let's be honest - Obama is a Sox guy. this isn't surprising.

[milwaukee mike]

mebaran can you name another sub .500 team that is consistently as big a favorite as the cubs?

so yes they have a decent team but they're just terrible on the wallet if you're backing them this year

cubs so far this year (not including another probable loss as a fav tonight) -547
pitt +185
mil -670
houst -945
stl +595
cin -25

Exactly.
If you are trying to bet on the Cubs ML in ANY year, you will get screwed. The line is usually WAY off the true line since they are such a popular bet. I'm a Cubs fan, and I find myself betting against them a lot more than on them...and I have no problem with that. I just laugh all the way to the bank...as long as the Cubs have a wildcard shot that is.

Been a Cubs fan since I was little.

I stated already, though, that I have no problem fading them and getting such good lines on their opponents.

You can't argue that they are playing badly this year.
You can't argue that they aren't a very popular team.

[obamaismyuncle]

Soriano is trash too.

[mebaran]

You're right. Their chance at the playoffs this year is laughable. The NL is SOOOO strong this year. I have a feeling come All-Star Weekend, the NL destroys the AL

[The Inevitable]

Well... final score 4-2 Pirates over the Cubs. They just gave me an unnecessary L. Seriously though, the Cubs should have won today. There is no way Pirates should have beat them because they're supposed to be the worst of the two. I would chase Cubs, but I think I'll cut my loses here.

Please God, let the buccos sweep the cubs tommorrow!!!!

[orangeheaven]

Well Cubs sucks on the road and at home. Make that 103 yrs pls. They dont have Ace and BP, bats are cold.

[Brock Landers]

Please God, let the buccos sweep the cubs tommorrow!!!!

Fukking Pinnella should just resign, Don Baylor, Dusty Baker, ETC...anyone could do the same nothing he is doing with this team. They need a total revamp

[Chi_archie]

cubs would be fine, if fukin Lee and Aram were hitting anywhere near their weight......

sweet Lou can't hit for his corner infielders..... otherwise

where is the problem?

too many to name, just about everywhere you look

[Chi_archie]

just give me 3 areas of concern.... outside of what I named (aram & lee)


you don't really know what you are talking about

[Brock Landers]

left field, fukudume, ss, 2nd base, ALL the middle relief, Ted Lilly, 19 Million dollar setup man, Not playing Colvin every day

come on archie, this team is going no where fast.

[Chi_archie]

go look up fvck u do me's stats.... go look up fontenots stats, go look up the relief stats, go look up Lilly's stats.... go look up the guy that starts ahead of Colvin's stats...


you are projecting problems that aren't there... YET....

like I said, you don't know what you are talking about

hey i still like going to games, and i hope we can go to a couple. But i have to respectfully disagree about this bunch, they blow.

[Chi_archie]

yeah Soriano and fukudome are only 3rd and 5th in the Nl in OPS right now..... but yeah I'm prob wrong...


they are the reason the cubs aren't winning....

not to mention fontenot's .300+ BA

not aram and d-lee..... and i'm sure aram and d-lee will continue to hit about .190 as a tandem all year



and hey the Sox's starting staff is alot better than the cubs, we know that too
