The Cubs scoff at all of you. They are going to have the greatest comeback known to man and win the Central by at least 10 games.

That shit never works for the Schlubs. Come to think of it, nothing ever works for them. Except goats.
Maybe I should sacrifice a live goat?

Hey RWS! I may need your help.

This^^^ You filthy bastages will pay dearly for this. I think they got outscored 25-7 in 3 games.

Just a tiny bump in the road for the eventual WS champs!

Luckily for them it's a 7 game series.

If any pitcher throws Gattis anything but a curve, he should be immediately cut.

3rd place, right where I said we would be. I now call this season again. Between the Braves, Rockies, Rangers and Red Sox, does any other team have a chance? I mean seriously. NLCS and ALCS teams are those four without a doubt. Dammit, Dammit, Dammit!!!!

I still say the nats are uber talented. Especially their pitching. The phillies still have bats and can get streaky. Pretty sure they had one of the best records in teh beisbolz after the all star break last year. I just wouldn't sleep on either of those teams. Combine that with the fact that the braves have lived off the long ball for most of their wins, and I think the division is wide open. I think they are only 3 games up on 2nd right now.

Who Needs Wrigley?

By MATTHEW FUTTERMAN

Just when it looked like the Chicago Cubs and city leaders had reached a meeting of the minds on a $300 million Wrigley Field renovation, team owner Tom Ricketts said Wednesday he would consider moving the team if opponents somehow quash his plans to erect a giant video board above the bleachers in left field and a new sign in right.

"If it comes to the point that we don't have the ability to do what we need to do in our outfield, then we're going to have to consider moving," Ricketts told a gathering at the City Club of Chicagoâ€”just as he began the process of gaining approval for his plan from four separate government bodies. A spokesman for Ricketts said he didn't mean to threaten anyone.

No one in Chicago believes Ricketts would move the Cubs out of his century-old ballpark which, in most years, is the most appealing part of attending a terrible team's home games. But if it ever comes to that, it's probably time to start scouting for new locations. So here are a few ballpark sites to consider.

Milwaukee: Home of Old Style beer, a Wrigley tradition. Having ballgames inside a brewery eliminates the middleman.

The Quad Cities: The Cubs-loving Iowans and Illinoisans from Davenport, Bettendorf, Rock Island and Moline have already built a quaint ballpark (pictured here) that has plenty of room for giant billboards and jumbotrons. Fewer newspaper reporters, too.

East St. Louis, Ill.: Now here's an urban area that's looking for some new investors. It's also right across the river from a town where people actually go to baseball games to watch baseball.

U.S. Cellular Field: Charmless park on the South Side is home to the White Sox, the city's other last-place baseball team. The fans get along really well and would enjoy sharing.

Lower Wacker Drive: No particular reason, other than it's kind of fun to say "Wacker." Also close to Billy Goat Tavern.

Burn Unit at County General: Many of Wrigley's drunk, sunburned Bleacher Bums come here after the game anyhow.

Ryan Field: Northwestern's football team and the Cubs have similar traditions of excellence. And since the Cubs will be done by August, no scheduling conflicts!
