A fine post, CH. That was the choker game, no doubt. I wonder if Madden had a tighty whitey pajama party to bring the team back from the brink?

The Cubs were lucky in the first two games. The Giants were lucky last night. The winner of the series will be the luckiest team in the next two games.

CH is in everyone's heads with his fine trolling form; although I still don't get the whole trolling thing in general. I guess it's the internet equivalent of arson.

He's not trolling. He's a Cub fan who really feels that way.

Right. Not sure why some feel every fan has to have RFDC-colored glasses regarding their own team or else stop talking about them. It's sort of normal to fear/expect the worse as a sports fan. I'd imagine that feeling may be heightened as a Cub fan.

IMU is worse than RFDC about the Cubs.

It's funny that you guys are laughing about this when this series exemplifies small sample sizes. The Cubs starting pitching has as many RBI as the Giants team. Do you think that the Cubs pitching staff are a better hitting unit than the Giants starting lineup?

I simply think variance is a funny word. I have not been playing the Sox fan Cub fan game for these playoffs.

I think we have a large enough sample size to question if Rizzo has balls. He's sucked in the playoffs.

Getting close. I think he has 60 or so at-bats.

I remember those early 90s Pirate teams who couldn't get over the hump because their best player couldn't hit water if he fell out of a boat in the playoffs . Rizzo is starting to look like that.

It aint the six minutes. Its what happens in those six minutes.

No one cares.

Agreed. Tonight is the night the Cubs send the Giants to the grave.

The Giants have sucked this series and they are lucky they aren't packing their stuff up today so I'm not really sure what you are saying here.

They actually had to go out and play badly. It isn't a sample size. It is how they actually played.

It's how they played within a small sample size.

If you think the Giants have played so poorly, are you saying that they really are that bad?

We have been through this before. I dont expect fans to be all positive and never negative. But CH takes it way too far. He never has anything positive to say. And he has admitted to not being a Cub fan any longer. So he can really shut up.

He's no more negative than you are positive. The yin to your yang. Life needs balance.

I am not all positive. I just dont constantly bitch about the negatives.

Rizzo has been absolutely awful and needs to get his head out of his ass. Maddons handling of the pen last night was terrible. He clearly overthought himself.

The difference here is that at least he has a basis for being negative. The Blackhawks won 3 in 6 years ( same as the Giants) yet in every series they play he thinks they have no shot.

I'll take John Lackey over Matt Moore, this series is over..bring on Dusty n his boys.

I love CH but in fairness to RFDC, CH has said the same stuff about the Hawks. While they were busy coming back in series and winning Championships, CH was calling them out. It was funny but made no sense most of the time.

CH would of told us the 98 Bulls were mentally fragile and would lose Game 7 to the Pacers.

That's just how he fans.

Cubs are different though. 108 years.

This sums it up pretty well. The Cubs are different no doubt and I dont fault people for being negative and expecting the worst from the cubs. 84 and 03 leave a huge imprint that overshadows all series. I get that.

I give CH a ton of crap about the blackhawks but I can handle his negative thoughts there better because at least he is around all year watching every game and he knows so much about the league. Here he convienently shows up in times like this series to bitch and be negative. And he has said more than once he is no longer a fan.

Hey, I'm just enjoying the games in front of me. You're the one who brought it up. Just because it exists doesn't mean you can't enjoy the games.
