Hope was in the air as they quickly ran out to a 4-0 lead.
That was soon replaced with despair... as they ended up getting shellacked 15-7.

Introducing: The Cubs Hope-O-Meter
Yesterday, the Cubbies played their first Spring Training game.
Hope was in the air as they quickly ran out to a 4-0 lead.
That was soon replaced with despair... as they ended up getting shellacked 15-7.

Ticket Time Capsule
Sometimes I think 1945 wasn't that dern long ago. And I remember '69 like it was yesterday. '84 and '89 now that is recent history. '98 and '03 . . . painfully close.
Having the good times in Cub history on my mind, one might reckon that I'd recall '07 and '08 - the last seasons spent in the playoffs - well, I suppose you'd reckon I'd remember them like nobody's business. But, I'll tell ya, after this year - after this long and painful year . . . it seems like a lifetime ago since we were good at baseball.
Now please oblige me on this one. Take a gander at this here ticket stub my grandson found while he was fiddlin' through my dresser drawers - no doubt looking for some spending money.
Take a gander at those boys high five-in on that stub. Makes you kind of miss them boys, don't it? It sure as heck makes me miss the winning days. That date there - September 20th - just two short years ago . . . that's when we clinched our division, on our way to a near one hundred win season. Seems like it has been forever and a day, and I sure hope it ain't forever until the winning ways return.
Go Cubs!

Lolly Gaggers
I share the sentiments of the thousands who are not showing up. I've been through my share of bad seasons but this one takes the cake! Good riddance D. Lee, Theriot, Fontenot and whoever else we can unload. I can't even watch this s--- on tv. What a bunch of lolly gaggers. I guess there have been plenty of seasons this bad but not with the payroll. I could always blame the organization in the past but now we just have a bunch of overpayed lollygaggers. Maybe if we spent more time building a farm system than we spend building toyota signs we could have a winning season.
