" Could not have stated it better myself. Good to see people calling out a sham of a franchise and a sham of a fan base. My recent experiences in Wrigley have been the same and thankfull it is contained exclusively in that one ball park. "

" People are still commenting on this wow! I will give it to Cubs fans for being loyal, but any game I go to at Wrigley, I see more drunk, boisterous, yuppies than any other of the 10 ballparks I have been too - including Busch. There are classless baseball fans everywhere, but Cubs fans are probably the worst. You really do have nothing to brag about and should keep you mouth shut. The Cubs' franchise really is a joke, I don't care if they have won a few years here and there, in the overall scheme of things, they are the biggest losers in the history of sports. "

" I understand the great Razor Shines is now available. His bat currently has more life than any that played three post season games in a cub's uniform. Ironically, he may be able to last more than 3 1/3 innings and unlike Ted Lilly may actually be able to manage to keep his glove on his hand! "

" I see where Kerry Wood earned the distinction of being the 20th player in franchise history to appear in three separate post seasons. I started to wonder how many cubbies could claim to have been a member of a post season team and never make it to the world series? "

Still here? wrote on Oct 18, 2007 9:47 AM:

" I think this story is still here because unlike their rivals in town and southbound on I-55, the cubbies did not take care of their post season business. I am not a fan of any of the big three teams from around here so I can atleast say, without being a homer, the last time either the cards or the sox made the post season, they took care of business and won it all. The cubs, well, were the cubs. "

Over paid wrote on Oct 18, 2007 7:16 AM:

" The Cubs are the perfect example of losers...not loveable losers, but just plain old losers. There is no way it is in the interest of the ownership to have a world series team and success. They are making piles of money selling drunken fools on the curses and "wait til next year" crowd. Every business has a marketing plan and the Cubs plan is perpetual losing. A post season trip every once in a while helps with selling merchandise - which they know Cub fans will burn after the loss and therefore need again when they decide to try and win again. "

" The thing is, the cubs did choke. Not only were they expected to win, all of you cubs fans are the ones who have talked them up so much. If you guys would stop being so arrogant, then maybe it wouldn't seem like them choking. The cardinals however didn't spend $200 and some million dollars trying to bring another world series title back to st. louis. I guess you guys better stop $400-500 million next year. What was your guys' record last year when we won the world series? Oh yeah 30 games under, good stuff. "

" To see all of the Cubs fans being so arrogant about the Cards sitting at home watching the playoffs. Cubs must have short memories, because they have been doing that for the better part of 100 years, watching as a World Champion is crowned. I've never heard a bunch of people be so arrogant for being terrible in my life! Congrats, you've made the playoffs... too bad for you that you'll be sitting right with the Cards fans by Sunday. Of course, without a World Series title since 1908. "

" It's not worth mentioning because it's a part of the business side of baseball. People change jobs and big wigs move on. Maybe we didn't mention it because we're not worried about it. Did you ever think of that? These arguments that Cub fans come up with are getting more and more humorous, yet desperate at the same time. Face it, reality is the Cubs consistantly choke in the post season and the Cardinals have enough World Series rings to let the whining cubbies borrow a few. By the way, a cub is a baby bear. That doesn't mean the fans have to be babies too. "

" Please explain to me how the Cubs are choking. The had the worst record of all the NL playoff teams and they are playing the team with the best record in the NL. To me, that sounds like the Diamondbacks should beat the Cubs. You are probably just a bitter Cardinals or Sox fan. "

" To TO: Correct me if I'm wrong, but I do believe that the Cubs DID WIN the NL division. Isn't that really what this article entails and what these postings are about??? And no it was not luck, it's called skill. If the Cards are supposedly so "good" why didn't they spread some "luck" and win the division...oh yea because they did COLLAPSE, just like you said. You are a moron. "

Fun Fact.... wrote on Oct 5, 2007 3:16 PM:

" There are only around 55,000 people alive in the US currently who were actually alive when the Cubs last won the World Series. These people are called, Centenarians as they have been alive for 100 years. As y ou can guess, this number gets smaller and smaller each year. There is another group called SuperCentenarians which have been around 110 years, but these are a much rare'er breed. "

To: GM story wrote on Oct 5, 2007 3:14 PM:

" Well since the NL Central is the worst division in baseball that is quite an accomplishment. They can win the NL Central all the wish but they will never make it out out the NLDS. It is alway nice to make the playoffs when there are 5 other teams with better records than you, whatta say cubbie fans. Face it the only reason they made the playoffs is due to the fact they take the three division winners and the wild card. If they chose the four best teams, cubbies would be left out and well they should with their showing thus far. "

" There isn't one comment on the story about the Cardinals' GM search. Guess that shows that the St. Louis fans in this area are more concerned about how the Cubs are doing than discussing the future of their team. Or perhaps, they just know that their team has little hope in the near future with a depleted farm system, very little pitching and an offense that consists of Pujols and a bunch of also-rans. It's a new era in the NL Central. The Cubs and Brewers will be battling it out for the title for years to come. Get used to it Cards fans. "

" You cubs fans can beleive what ever you want. The scrubs may have been second in the league in team era but you also forget to state that the they gave up the forth most walks and that the team was was last in the league only had an era of 4.94. You can state stats all you want, the cubs can not win the big game, they have a lousy bull pen and starting pitching is mediocre at best not to mentioned a coach that is useless. The big Zero promised a Cy Young at the beginning of the season and he continues to shoot off his mouth, but he can not deliver. The cubs did not win the division it was just luck that they were on top when the other teams collapsed. Not to mention that they have losing records against all other divisons in the NL, SO I WOULD SAY THAT PLAYING OUTSIDE THE NL CENTRAL DOES NOT LOOK PROMISING FOR THE cubs. "

Aren't there also quite a few officers in trouble for beating the crap out of people and little bar girls? And you think St. Louis is run by thugs. Atleast ours are not in Politics (Gov) or mascarading a police officers. Cub Fans face it. Jealousy is a sickness and you are going to look for any excuse to try and belittle the St. Louis Cardinals just because of your own lack of self esteem. But it's understandable. I would feel pretty pathetic too if my city blamed losing a game on one fan and talks trash to their opponets by bringing up the past. Then again, do the Cubs even have a past worth remembering? "

However, do you know who was second in the majors in team ERA this year?...That's right, the Cubs. The consistency of the pitching got them into the playoffs. Ted Lilly had a bad game at the wrong time. One more question for you today, Which team ranked dead last in team hitting for the 2007 Major League Baseball season? Take your time. "

Mulder will be back, Looper and Wainwright will be worked on more to be consistent 15 game winners. Piniero will be signed to an extension. Still disappointed we got rid of Suppan. "

Decisions that are made by everybody are the responsibilities or consequences they must endure afterwards. I mean, you should understand this right? You are a Cubs fan aren't you? Big waste of payroll on Prior, Wood, Soriano, Jones, Dusty Baker. I bet you the Cubs don't even make it to the playoffs again under Pinella just like what happened with Baker. "

" Wow how insightful. You should really be an analyst with the Pantagraph, ESPN or networks. You forget that the cubs are outmatched and have no pitching consistancy and that their big name players do not perform well in the clutch. And yes the cubs did back into the playoffs. They did not win the NL Central it was who was going to lose the fewest games at the end of the season including the cubs, Brewers and Cards. They did not win the central in the same manner as the White Sox did in 2005. Face it the NL Central is weak in comparrison to the rest of the league. If you took the best four records in baseball into the playoffs the cubs would not have made the playoffs. I also do not care to mention the manager or coach of the cubs because he does not fit into either category as far as I am concerned. "
