so what. drunk frat guys also start "let's go cubs" chants when the cubs are getting blitzed 12-2. would it have been ok if it was still drunk bleacher bums from the 70s?

the cubbies hate is a part of the "smart" sports movement. hate people who mention the goat. hate people who mention bartman. hate hate hate.


the people who criticize that crap are just mad their soulless team has/is nothing.

Old enough to recognize the difference between stating facts and making threats.




No, that is incorrect.

At least 4 people (DS, NSD, Walkrman and myself) of the regular like 9 posters have asked that it be changed.





Im not either. Do what you want. Call them Cubbies.

Face it, dude, you're an outlier. The un-douchey Cubs fan. Just like dolphin is the sharp Pole and I'm the sober Irishman.

That is certainly not their team name. That is the name of the organization that runs the Chicago Cubs team. Having "Inc." in the team name would be pretty lame.

RPB just received your acceptance. Nothing else in his life matters anymore. You don't know how happy you made him. We'll never hear the end of it in COC chat.

This is truly all he ever wanted.

Are you sure because you read it on Wikipedia?


The team's moniker (Giants, Cubs, Rangers) is usually referred to as a nickname.

Who fucking cares though. This is getting sillier than usual.

and then you go and find another team and you'll always hear about that like you're a fucking joke cuz you went elsewhere. midaswell keep 'em on ice like your hookers is what i say. the expos will rise again! why do you think our slogan is "vive le expos!"? whats up tampa?

Actually, JORR and I agree on most baseball stuff outside of Cubs and Sox. We've shared a fantasy team for a couple years. But yes, I was looking for his acceptance as a baseball fan

Fact. Jon Lester is 0-2 with a plus 6 ERA in 4 starts this year.

i've got dibs on "the dickless pornstar" and i've yet to have anyone go "so you're telling us you're a woman?" so at least they're hopefully thinking somewhat metaphorically.

Lester spells his first name wrong.

btw if any of you dipshits ever played fantasy baseball you'd know lester's MO is to have an ERA of like 5-6 circa mid may and then by the end of the year he's down to 3.25 like magic. last year and that one 4.50 ERA season were exceptions, but i put last year on "he finna get paid" more than anything else. now whaddya know that's all sorted out and lester sucks in april again. who knew?

that said he still ain't starting game 1 of the 2017 world series.

Hey, I have pointed out the streaky thing several times.

That is where he reminds me of Buehrle. He looks bad for a few starts, then great for a bunch and ends up with a good record

Dexter Fowler CF
Jorge Soler RF
Anthony Rizzo 1B
Kris Bryant 3B
Miguel Montero C
Starlin Castro SS
Chris Coghlan LF
Jason Hammel P
Addison Russell 2B

Castro and Soler need to swap. Soon. Yesterday.

A nickname is a nickname. If you care as much as RPB seems to, you're doing it wrong.

Who cares? If it has to do with baseball on the field, I'm interested. Everything else is just colorful noise.

Great inning here so far. A walk and then three straight hits and we're up three. Two out offense is a thing of beauty. Oh, and Soler is two for two. What an idiot I am for suggesting the guy needed a day off to clear his head.

I also hate the term "Cubbies"

I lump that in with "Go Cubs Go", Ronnie Woo Woo and the 7th inning stretch.

This Rizzo guy is pretty good.

Kevin Millar is fucking annoying.

Bleachers are coming along nicely.

Yes he is. The whole seventh inning guest singer shit should have ended long ago. Bullshit.

Outstanding effort from Hammell tonight. That, along with Rizzo continuing to be the man makes for one happy Cub fan. Let's keep this thing going tomorrow and pick up another series win!

You've argued in favor of it as long and as much as I've argued against it. You care a lot.

As I've said numerous times now, its fine I will call then the Cubs and everyone else can call them whatever. I've shared my opinion.


They won!!!!

I didn't bring it up though.

I wake up in the morning, and I don't know which terrible opinions God is going to have me fight that day. But I go to bed knowing that I did the Lord's work.

But yes, the Chicago National League Ball Club, Inc. is playing really well. I'm going to try to purchase some more Chicago National League Ball Club, Inc. merchandise.
