That funky motion Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 QUOTE (kev211 @ Jul 23, 2009 -> 08:07 PM) Huh, most of my cub fan friends texted me saying that even as a cubs fans Buehrle's performance was amazing. Guess I'm just friends with smart cub fans. Yes they do exist. Yes, my friends also. I was a bit surprised! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigEdWalsh Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 I only have one Cub fan friend. I try to not associate with those people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigruss Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 Its been hard to avoid them in my life, all my best friends are Cubs fans and Ive learned to accept it, as they actually know baseball so our conversations are actually meaningful and respectful. Ive met dumbass Cubs fans and its pretty easy to make them stupid if they try to rip on the Sox. I usually have more knowledge about their own team anyways.

bjm676 Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 I have not heard a peep from them yesterday. I'm sure it was killing them. But who cares. My Sox fan friends (the true baseball fans) were the ones happy and excited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 (edited) Nice defense by the Reds so far in the first inning. The Reds are probably going to finish this year 20 games below. 500. Good thing for them they didn't try to make any upgrades. And wow, does Cueto absolutely suck in the first innings now.

fathom Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 It's ridiculous the amount of umpiring calls the Cubs have received over the last few months.

When the actually have to face real teams and not one of the worst teams ever (nationals) and another cellar dwellar, they will come back to Earth.

Yes inner division games hold a little more importance but whether we won the last three or Detriot it is going to be a close battle with them all the way to 162 if not more.

Not that I can recall. I think Cubs are 4-2 against them this year, and Pirates lineup will only get weaker in the next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
