OK A-holes.  It's fixed.  Enjoy the orange links, because I have no fucking idea how to change them.  I basically learned scripting in four days to fix this damned thing. - Andy

If the Cubs' horrendous 2012 leads to the drafting of Colin Moran in 2013, has Desipio come full circle at that point?

Why haven't we been hearing anything about  "The Cubs' Way"?  Are we seeing the Cubs' way?   If this is the Cubs' way, I am not sure that I like it.  I didn't expect to make the playoffs, but I didn't think that the Cubs would aspire to 10 game losing streaks.  On the brighter side, if the Cubs lose today, then a ten game losing streak would look good.
If I had known that I was going to live this long I would have taken better care of myself.   (Plagerized from numerous other folks)

It might be hard to get major leaguers to buy into it. But when Gerardo Concepcion wins the Cy Young in 2014 it'll be Cubs Way all up in here.

A ten game losing streak would sure look good right now.

Dolis has filled Marmol's role almost perfectly.

Nah.  Tell me you didn't at least chuckle at Loss #11 occuring via a walk-off HBP.  

I will admit, however to wondering that if catchers are really athletes, why couldn't that dude who played HS ball with Neil Walker have just jumped, or dove, over his crouched counterpart?  I mean, you know...that's a run, kid, and you're a catcher yourself--you expect to kick the ball out with a little slide do ya?   D'UR.  

Bad baseball, but this is what we expected and, to an extent, what is needed, isn't it?  I honestly can't get despondent over this streak yet either.  They could lose 20 straight* and it wouldn't be as bad as an 0-14 start, so bring it on. Is this the best bad baseball you got?  *pounds chest*

*If they lose 20 straight I'll literally eat a Cubs floppy hat.
Just a sloppy, undisciplined team.  Garbage.

I'm not angry at all. Just mocking those that are. We knew this team would suck.
