Cub fans, it's going to be a loooonnnnggggg year

[Bluzmann57]

I know the Epstein era has begun and they are preaching patience, but two blown saves in two games by the same guys?! C'mon! Seems to me that may be the definition for insanity, trying the same thing over and over again even though it fails every time.
As much as I have liked Kerry Wood and Marmol, it seems that perhaps they have lost it. Yeah I know we're only two games in and the Nationals may be a fairly good team, but can't Sveum (sp) try someone else since he's aware that his team stinks?
Ok ok, I'm done venting; but please Cubs, win one before I'm dead and gone.
One more thing; the Red Sox had an epic collapse last year. The GM? Epstein. Hmmm...

1. I watched both games

You cannot have 8th inning guys and closers who walk people. Disaster.

2. There is still life in you, so repent and abandon the pathetic losers

Too many fine persons have lived their entire lives being Cubs fans. There are certain things science can not explain, and that billy goat's curse from the forties is one of them.

3. It's going to be a long 2nd century.

3 years are already gone.

BTW, I hope to be there in August to see the Rockies.

4. I'd like to see the Cubs win the WS

at some point during my lifetime. By the way, I've been a Cardinals fan since birth, but I will gladly root for the Cubs if it is indeed "their year." The Cards started out slow last season and didn't even play worth a damn until September, then look what happened.

5. been a long freaking life........

at least there's no real reason to even hope this year. Kind of a freebie.......

6. Theo Epstein made a quite a few bad signings and moves that he got away with in Boston

because they were willing to spend money to correct anything. The jury is still out on him as a general manager. I hope he does well.

7. You pay for nothing, you get nothing.

Good luck with Theo, we'll be cleaning up his mess for awhile.
