Chicago Cubs baseball team

I seriosly LOL’ed. To answer your question, I would have to say yes. It’s just never in their favor.

you don’t even know how many times I’ve watched the show’s commercial, because I think that’s the only way I’ll eve get to see that. haha

There were no video games in 1907 and 1908.

I happen to think that commercial is outstanding (particularly the old guy cutting his beard). I also hope that the Cubs, someday and not far off, get this gorilla off the back of the franchise and the fans. They deserve one title, just to experience it.

Going to a Cubs game is like Noah’s Arcade:
People keep on feeding it quarters, even though they know they are gonna lose.

(If you’ve seen Wayne’s World more than once, you know what I’m talking about)

One day they’ll win again… but it’s not going to be this season. So for right now, pretty much.

Humber just threw a perfect game and ESPN Chicago has the Cubs on their frontpage. When the white sox won the World Series it seemed like nobody cared. But if the Cubs won the world series there would be a 10 day cubs marathon on. Why are the Cubs so loved in the city of Chicago and the White Sox get very little respect from the city??!!! I’m sick of this crap!!

Second team in the Second City. You get used to it.

Since the Cubs stink so bad, they just keep talking about there shit-load of a franchise.

Dude, it’s ESPN. What do you expect?

The White $ux and the Cub$ are in the Windy $hitty! Why would you like a team in the Windy $hitty! The Yankees are better as! You should be a smart guy like me with YANkEES PRIDE!
Go Yanks!

Because the white sux are a bunch of thugs. period. end of story.

because they threw the WS that says it all
and many despise their announcer Ken Harrelson

Why do people continue to support the Chicago Cubs? How can they wake up everyday watching a loser and be happy about it? Is it because they were born into a Cubs family? Or is it that they just don’t care if the team wins or loses?

Can someone explain this to me?

Maybe they will finally start winning because they have their new GM Theo Epstein. Epstein built a winner out of the Red Sox before he came to the Cubs so anything is possible.

Well for me they were the first team i started following so i stuck with them

yeah the team is bad but im not going to bandwagon to the Tigers/Yankees ect

They are true fans not just bandwagoners.

Who said they were happy about it?

If you are a fan of a team you follow them no matter what. Win or lose. Deep down there is always that hope that THIS will be the year.

There are those who enjoy receiving abuse.

The chicago cubs have a loyal fan base probably the most loyal in all of baseball.now they have the guys theo epstein,jed hoyer & the scout those 3 gave the yankees a run for there money that created the most dominate team that was giving cashman(yankees general manager headaches when cashmen was buying all the good superstars at that time.jed hoyer change the sd padres into something unbelieaveable without money imagine if they didd had money they could of went very far.read the storys about them on the boston globe all the old storys about them its just amazing how they can change a team.they have a chance to break another curse with the chicago cubs
probablt the best gm that ever came

Ever seen the movie money ball well these guys learn thebphilosphy from billy beane they use that philosphy & its a really interesting story.carl cra

E

while they were getting themselfs superstar potential people that wanted to prove themselves & players that can last them decade

People become fans of the Cubs for at least one of the following -
- Born and raised in Chicago area
- Family are Cubs fans
- Don’t like the White Sox
- Argue with their friends who are Sox fans
- Enjoy going to games at Wrigley Field
- Like ivy covered outfield brick walls
- Many Cubs games on WGN TV
- Prefer thke colors of blue, red and white
- Like the image of young bears – cubs
- Eternal optimists
- Have successfully applied being patient to other factors in life
- Waited this long – might as well continue waiting
- Don’t like the DH, enjoy watching pitchers bat
- Remember growing up with Banks, Williams, Santo, Sandberg, Jenkins
- Will have justification to go crazy if/when Cubs win a World Series
- Enjoy waiting til next year and then saying – I told you so!

It is two things:
1.Tradition. I like the teams my dad likes.
2.It is hard for people to understand who don’t feel like this but some people just love to root for the underdog! I am a vikings fan as well (I am a tortured sports fan…) but for a little while the vikings looked dominate, I almost liked them less just because they were good! I know, it sounds crazy…

A lot of people like to root for the underdog.

Wow, you are truly ignorant. I feel sad that you will never learn to appreciate anything.

Poor kid.

Because some people don’t give up their teams in favor of a winning team.

Understand that these people we call Cub Fans are extremely mentally ill. Their illness consists of them thinking their team is good, thinking they are better than the White Sox, and coming up for excuses as to why they lose. Don’t question why because like I said, it is a serious illness that is practically incurable.

The Same reason why the Pirates have fans, and the Cleveland Browns have fans; do or die; it’s THEIR team…….

Because they are loyal fans. Remember the Giants hadnt won a World Series for 54 years until 2010.

It’s a prediction all right.

This could only happen on a video game

The only near accurate prediction I could tell is that you’re a very biased New Yorker.

Do you realize that for every game a team wins, that someone else has to lose?

The total wins (and obviously losses) in the league should be 2430 (unless someone’s game 162 is cancelled)

You have over 2600 wins listed here. This might possibly be the worst set of predictions ever posted by someone more than 10 years old.

My apologies if you aren’t over 10 years old.

rangers loosing to indians i cant see it, rangers to me are the hottest team in baseball. top 3
1.rangers
2.dodgers
3.yankees.

I think that the Boston Red Sox will NOT be finishing LAST in the AL East. Troll.

I was totally with you until the end.

@Jandy
TROLL! Are you serious. bro? Your the troll. Just take a good look at YOUR questions my friend.

nats won’t win that many games this year, mets will definently not make it to the playoffs, red sox won’t lose 100, and indians won’t win the division over the tigers

Wow! That is a prediction. Yeah you have a couple hundred too many wins in there but I get your point. From someone that has done this a long-time, picking exact wins especially in baseball is very hard and time consuming to make sure all numbers line up correctly. Just picking the order will due most times. Actual records are more fun though. I can tell that you spent a lot of time on this though. Some of these guys are kinda being hard on ya! Anyway, lets get to the picks!!

100 games is a lot to win in the A.L. East this year. I really dont think that the Red Sox are going to be that bad all year long. I think that they will finish above .500. I don’t think Toronto will be as good as you do. They have some real outfield problems with Rasmus in center. I think the Yankees winning the division is a good pick.

I don’t see a way that Detroit doesn’t win the Central. They have just made too many upgrades, and overall the division is poor as usual. I think you can throw Minnessota, Chicago and Cleveland all in a bunch in the middle, with the Royals at the bottom of course. I had more faith in the Royals before the year but horrible start.

I think the Angels will step up and challenge Texas in the West if they can pull it together over the next 25 games or so and stop lossing ground to Texas. Texas will be a hard team to catch up too. I like the Angels over Texas, but could swing either way come games 160 – 162.

I think the Angels beat the Yankees to go to the World Series.

I can’t buy the Nationals…yet. I have to give them one more year to get it all pulled together. Harper will be up by All-Star break, if not sooner. I think the Braves are in bad shape overall. Miami is a crap shoot at this point. They are going to need at least another year. I have to go with the Phillies if they can get past these early injuries. They like the Angels can’t let the lead become to large, too early. I think the Phillies win the division by a couple of games. Changes to the guard in that division are coming for sure.

I’ll take the Cardinals in the Central as well. I don’t buy into the Pirates like you. I think that the Pirates are like the Royals about 5 years ago when they finished aboove .500. I like the Pirates down at the bottom with Houston and Chicago. Reds and Brewers are a toss up for 2nd/3rd. Cardinals win division fairly easy.

I don’t think the Dodgers are this good. Have a lot of surge power early though. I think that the Diamondbacks are a better overall team. I will take the Diamonbacks over the Dodgers in the long run. Another good division though. They won’t get the coverage that they deserve.

I think that things will get screwy come playoff time in the National League. I think the Nationals rip through with the wildcard to take the Cardinals to a game 6 or 7 but will come up short.

Sir Albert plays another World Series at Busch….and WINS at Busch again…

Angels beat St. Louis Cardinals in 5 Games (6 if St. Louis gets homefield advantage)

Good Luck with your picks.

American League East: Yes, I have to agree I think the Yankees and Rays will finish one-two. However, Toronto will have less wins, and Boston will have more. Baltimore looks about right.

American League Central: There is about the same chance that the Indians will win that division, then my hitting the lottery without purchasing a ticket. In other words, no chance in hell.

American League West: The Mariners will come no where NEAR 93 wins! Not a chance at all. They would be lucky to get 75, let alone 93. And the Athletics starting pitching is way to young to produce an 80 win season. Angels will be much better than what they are put at.

National League East: The Philadelphia Phillies will NOT be in LAST PLACE! They might be old, but not that old! The Mets will not come in second, or third for that matter. And the Nationals aren’t going to keep up this progression during the season. They have a fat chance at 100 wins, and a division title.

National League Central: Disagree with just about everything here. Cardinals will not get 100 wins, the Pirates will come nowhere close to 97. The Reds will have fewer than 91 wins. The Brewers will come in second place. And the Cubs and Astro’s records I disagree with.

National League West: Too many wins for the Rockies, and Giants. Fewer wins for the Padres as well.

Now don’t get discouraged. I liked that you put together this display, and I wish more people did it as well. Here are my predictions.

American League East:
New York Yankees – 101-61
Tampa Bay Rays – 91-71

As a tribe fan thanks for the overestimation but i think detroit’s better than the Indians.

They are unwatchable at this point. They haven’t even traded away Garza and Dempster-Which seems like a mere formality given how bad they are. So will they have the worst record in baseball and earn the #1 pick in next years draft?

BQ: Over or Under 95 losses for this group of bums?
killswitch-
I have yet to see a SD or Houston game- But i’ve sat through every Cubs game so far this year and it is hard for me to believe that either of those teams are worse. Up and down the roster is an embarrassment. This team is AWFUL. Not only do they have an everyday lineup filled with guys who have no business as a major league starter, but even when they do get a small lead-that bullpen is atrocious. I think the Cubs have a shot at 100 losses. Especially once they trade away Byrd, Dempster and Garza. I want my $125 back for my mlb.tv subscription.

• over 95 losses
• They are bad, but let’s be real. Look at the Padres, Astros, among some other teams that are even more un-watchable so far. I say they will have a Top 6 pick, but maybe not the first.

  BQ: 64-98.

• I think that they wont be the worst team in the MLB… Look at the astros.
• i think the cubs will have the number 3 pick in the draft, i think the padres will get the number 1 pick and the Astros will get the number 2 pick

  BQ: Under, i think they will have 90-94 losses

• I agree with the second answerer, I’ve seen the Cubs and Padres both play and I think the Padres are a worse team. But they’ll both be getting the top two picks

  BQ: Over 95

• still too early to say

  BQ: 98 losses

• False. They have to compete with the Orioles, Twins, A’s, Astros, and Padres. They’ll finish near the bottom, but I doubt they’ll finish in dead-last.

  BQ: 96 losses.

okay so my family and i are going to chicago heres what we have planned so far:
Cubs Game and going to see the bean. what other fun things can we visit that aren’t like bars or anything but kind of family friendly??

Eat the chicken dinner at the Mellow Yellow restaurant in Hyde Park. It’s the half chicken diinner at it cost 9.99.

You’re going to Chicago and you could only think of two things to do?. You could spend the rest of your life checking out Chicago. I’ve lived in Chicago all my life and it’s been a long one. Things change so often that there is always something new to see. There are a lot of museums to visit but that’s only a small part of Chicago. The list could go on and on so I’m going to include a link that will help you tour Chicago.
Have fun.

http://www.chicagotraveler.com/guide-to-chicago-tours.htm

Shedd Aquarium! sooo much fun!! and a walk in Mellenium Park and Buckingham Fountain…

The FREE Lincoln Park Zoo is only about 2 miles away from Wrigley Field.

There are lots of world class museums. Be sure to see the Museum of Science and Industry, Shedd Aquarium, and Field Museum by the very least. The Chicago History Museum, near the zoo, is also interesting for older kids.

See the Magnificent Mile along Michigan Avenue north of the river.

Tourists like Navy Pier, although I don’t think it’s much more than an overpriced tourist trap.

Take a Chicago River or Lake Cruise. Companies like Wendella and Mercury have escorted cruises. They dock at the Chicago River near Michigan Avenue. There are also fancier lake cruises with meals off Navy Pier.

And just check out some interesting ethnic neighborhoods like Chinatown, Devon Ave between Western and Kedzie, Pilsen, etc.

some really fun things to do in chicago include

walking down michigan avenue—fun to window shop and go into 900 north michigan(shops include william sanoma, j crew, michael kors, and gucci) and water tower place(water tower place best for teens, shops include billabong, victoria’s secret, pink, aeropostale, lush, forever 21, abercrombie and fitch, Hollister, free people, and american eagle outfitters.)

uno’s pizzeria— original chicago style deep dish pizza place. takes a while to get food, but definitely worth the wait.

museum of science and industry— a really fun museum with interactive exhibits and an imax theatre. my personal favorite museum in chicago. a bit of a drive though

face fountains in millennium park— really fun to watch even if you don’t go under the water. only turned on in warm parts of the year.

navy pier— huge ferris wheel and mini golf. inside building are restaurants and tourist shops. Can take really fun boat tours down the chicago river from the pier.

willis/ sears tower— you can get an amazing view of the city from the 107th floor

lincoln park zoo— good for young kids. large merry go round and really fun when its nice outside.

there is so much to do in chicago that I could go on and on and on but these are my favorite things to do that the whole family would enjoy. Chicago is a really walkable city with a lot of really fun quirky neighborhoods with cool shops and window shopping like lincoln park, bucktown, roscoe village, and the gold coast(upscale designer shops). hope you have a great time on your trip!

I just got a feeling this year, Marlon Byrd, Starlin Castro and Soriano are going to kill it!!!!!!

Is this our year in Chicago???? I know we are last in our division but theres over a hundred games right?

GO CUBS!!!!

• im sorry but no…i know your pain and it sucks…but from experience it may take a few more years and you got the right GM to help yout guys get there! theo is a smart dude and so is jed….i love nothing more than to see you guys hold that trophy up!!!!!
• No one calling them “Cubbies” (especially with all corporal letters) will ever have their wish granted. You have now cursed them for your lifetime.
• sorry, but St. louis and Milwaukee (and even Pittsburgh) are better.
• It’s good to be hopeful and optimistic but maybe start smaller, like just start with hoping for a winning season for now.
• I think the Cubs can compete…with Houston for the worst record in the division.
• No, they’re not even going to make The Playoffs, even with 2 Wildcards in each League this year.
• Waaaay too optimistic.

They havent won a world series in like what 104 years? How come they never make any big free agent signings why didnt they go out and sign either Pujols or Feilder and try to improve there OF and get carlos beltran? Improve there pitching and sign mark burhlre, Heath Bell, or maybe keep zambrano? david wrights a free agent adfter this season i think so they should sign him.
Albert Pujols or Prince
David wright
carlos beltran
soriano
starlin castro
mark berhlre
heath bell
etc. wouldnt that have helped the cubs alot?

they’ve had soild players at numerous position in years past….that bartman guy cost em a trip to the world series in 2003…epstein’s a good gm, he’ll figure it out. big money sometimes translates to wins, but you gotta have a core of young guys to be competitive…i love the angels, but would have rather them signed a younger prince fielder than go after pujols….

I don’t know how long you’ve been following the cubs but they used to do this quite often. But the fact is they have a lot of money tied up in players that aren’t very good. They are paying a lot of money to Carlos Zambrano to pitch for someone else and they are paying 20 million dollars to Alfonso Soriano even though he’s one of the worst starting OF in the league, not to mention the bust contracts to Milton Bradley and Kosuke Fukudome that they finally aren’t paying for anymore.

Albert Pujols (32) signed for 250 million dollars, Prince Fielder (28) signed for 214 million dollars, Mark Buehrle (33) signed for 54 million dollars, Carlos Beltran (34) signed for 26 million dollars and Heath Bel (34)l signed for 33 million dollars. That’s a lot of money to commit to players especially given their age or in Prince’s case his weight (which might make him age quickly) and I don’t think adding any combination of them would have made the Cubs World Series favorites this year. And if they weren’t going to win this year when would they? Those players aren’t going to get better as they age. So while it would make the Cubs dramatically better now, it would hang a lot of financial albatrosses around their neck for seasons to come, with no World Series to show for it.

The new front office plans to spend their money more wisely. They want to build through the Farm System and have a good core of cheap young players then supplement that team through FA rather than try to build through expensive older FA’s who will be overpaid at the end of their deals.

They are rebuilding. They are stocking up their farm system so in a couple years they will have young guys who are very good. It would be pointless to sign a big name now, that wouldn’t really help.

They have over the years. Bear in my Soriano is still on his huge contract they gave him originally. Right now there’s no need to start signing big names, they have to build the team from the ground up and just have to suck for a couple years.

I’m trying to get Cubs tickets for this summer and I wanted to know some things:
-Where to sit
-How to get there
-What to bring
And basically just what to do when I’m there. ( I can’t drink so that’s out of the question)

• There’s a bunch of great seats in Wrigley. I went there a couple times and sat on the third base line. Excellent view and not expensive tickets since the Cubs are playing poorly. You should sneak in a couple of water bottles (over priced at the stadium) and be sure to wear a cap and bring sunblock (if your going during the day). When you’re there enjoy the game as much as you can. Take pictures of the historic field. There are tons of restaurants that you can dine at before or after the game. Try to get close to the field and catch a couple of baseballs. You can also try to get some autographs. Overall enjoy the experience and be sure to HAVE FUN!

  I hope you enjoy your first Cubs game.

• Not a bad seat in the house. Next time I go, I want to sit in the bleachers.
