Yes M&M, there is baseball in October & sometimes even November.

Being a cubbies fan it's probably hard for you to believe, but it's true.

To quote an esteemed old member: shut up.

Actually, I've actually had a slightly perverse thrill in watching the Cardinals implode. Where I live it is evenly split between Cardinal fans and Cub fans, and I've gotten a little tired of their chatter over the years. I even saw t-shirts down at Busch this year that touted the Cardinal "dynasty". Huh? It was fun watching the Sox sweep them in the World Series two years ago, and it would be delicious to see them not make the playoffs, after having an 8 1/2 game lead with two weeks to go in the season.

Yep, I'm bitter and grumpy.

C'mon, that hanging curve was out there for over 24 hrs.

Someone HAD to post that response to keep the group's collective self respect.

Sorry it had to be me is all.

Understood.

Just like any hanging curve ball, as soon as I threw it I just closed my eyes and waited...but when nothing happened, I thought I was in the clear. So I opened my eyes just when you casually smashed it back up the middle. You just did what you were supposed to do - wait on it.

And if they do, it'll be everbody's fault but the Genius. If they don't make it, LaRussa will find someone to blame. If he was managing the Christians, I'd root for the Lions(not that I might not do that anyway). He's a dickhead and a phony. Every year his pitchers lead the league in hitting people in the head, and every year LaRussa gives out a phony sermon about pitchers shouldn't be throwing at hitters. Add "hypocrite" to the list too.

Remember this one?---"Gee, I'm sure that my Markie would never dream of taking steroids. You bad sportswriters should leave him alone".

I ain't fond of Houston either. Roger Clemens is just behind or tied with the Professor when it comes to phoniness.....but I'd rather see them sneak in than the Cards.
