In all seriousness, is there a bigger joke than those absolutely embarrassing

[cboy4]

PAYROLL: $135,050,000

THIRD HIGHEST IN MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL!

RECORD: 41-42, only four games from dead last place Pittsburgh

[Forkboy]

1. Yeah, you and Upton bragging about voting constantly and still having Pablo not make it.

[Jack Rabbit]

2. It's a threesome

Cboy, Upton and Trumad are the oldest 12-year-olds on the DU Sports forum.

[Forkboy]

4. Thank God I'm 14.

;)

[KamaAina]

10. There has been a definite high school vibe to my life these past couple of months

:(

[cboy4]

12. Now Jack Rabbit, why is this OP not valid?

This Cubs team, by all accounts, was said to be the most complete squad in the NL if not baseball.

The Phillies are clearly beatable, because their pitching is atrocious.

So the Cubs were a lot of people's favorites this year.

I want to know what happened, besides Rich Harden's ERA ballooning to over 5.00

[trumad]

15. Gee thanks Jack for lumping me in with the Doucebags...

Ya old fuck.

[cboy4]

16. hhahahaa

:spray:

[BulletproofLandshark]

17. I have NEVER seen Trumad beat a dead horse the way those other two can.

They're in a class by themselves.

[Jack Rabbit]

18. When he stops beating those two like a dead horse

. . . and he stoops to their level whenever he does, I'll reconsider.

Meanwhile, as a former resident of the city that is the jewel of the Pacific Coast, I find Trumad's way of getting under their skin every bit as juvenile as any either of them has ever done and much more offensive.

[trumad]

21. Well as a former resident of "Frisco" myself...

lighten up....

If I want to call it Frisco, I'll call it fucking Frisco---and it upsets your tender sensibilities---tough Shit.

[Capt. America]

3. I agree. I gave the Cubs 25+ years of my life but after last year in the division series

I said "no more". They are dead to me. I don't wear any Cubs gear any longer nor watch them on TV or listen to them on MLB radio. I told all of my family and friends that I am finished.

By the way, the Cubs proved to me that they are true morans (DU spelling) when they signed the train wreck Milton Bradley for 3 years, 30 million. Enjoy jackasses. There is a reason that tool has been on 5 teams in as many years.

[Onceuponalife]

20. You're deserting your team?

Not a real sports fan. I think cboy will back me up on that one.

[Capt. America]

22. WTF? 25+ years isnt enough? What have they ever given me but pain. BTW, I got rid of the Browns

in waaaaaaayyyyy less time. About 3 years and it has been liberating to have calm Sundays. In fact, I don't have a "team" in the NFL and I only watch the playoffs if interesting.

[cboy4]

23. That's part of life being a sports fan. Upton and my Giants were eight outs away

from beating the Angels in 2002 when they collapsed in the World Series.

And what's worse is I let my guard down and started saying to myself that they were going to do it.

That made it more painful. Up 5-0 in the bottom of the 7th and they couldn't hold on.

I cried for two days like someone in my family died.

And I still think I wake up in the middle of the night.

And just when I start to ask myself, why do I do this to me, it's spring training again and I'm as excited as a little boy and can't wait for the season.

Nobody ever said sports was kind. Nope, it can break your heart.

[inthebrain]

5. Barry Zito getting 18 mill a year.

[Upton]

6. "Ollie" Perez getting 12 million

Sheffield getting 14

Santana getting 19

Billy Wagner getting 10.5

[inthebrain]

9. Sanata worth the 19

Perez getting 12 I'll agree with.

The Mets are not paying 14 to Sheff.

Wagner was worth the 10.5.


You fail.

Wanna explaing why Arron Rowan makes more than Wright?

[Upton]

14. Everything I see

says Sheffield is making 14 million this year...Seems you're not fully informed.

And Rowand is making more because Wright, since he's gone off his special "diet":eyes:, has turned into a weakling..

[Upton]

19. yeah..take a look at Rowand's catch tonight

with one out in the 9th inning, saving Jonathon Sanchez's no hitter and you'll see why makes more money than Wright.

[Jack Rabbit]

7. The Chicago Cubs have not won the World Series in my Dad's lifetime

Dad celebrated his 98th birthday on June 1.

[Upton]

8. Obviously the Mets

Chokers have the SECOND largest payroll in baseball, are 40-44 and losing 3-0 in the 7th tonight.

Jeff Francoeur‎ can't work miracles

[cboy4]

11. By the Reds!

Now that's a good team! :sarcasm:

[cboy4]

13. I will have to correct myself. Of course there is.

The Chokers.

Let's see if David Wright hit a homer. Nope!

40-45, 2nd highest payroll in MLB

[Jetboy]

24. Cubs win.

[Jetboy]

25. 2 in a row.

[cboy4]

26. Good, I like seeing them beat the Cardinals and Brewers -- for now --

to knock them further behind the Giants in the wildcard.
