Off Day Email Extravaganza: Angry Inner Child Edition

Dear J dot (douche-a-rific handle you've got there, pal)

Alright, I can't take it anymore. If you aren't going to say anything, you spineless bastard, I am. I'll spell it out as simply as I can...

The Cubs suck.

They suuuuuuck big time.

Don't give me any of this "They are still in first place!" BS or "Their magic number has gone down all week!" crap. They are beyond awful.

Have you watched them this month? Throw out Soriano's 3 home runs on Saturday and I dare you to name anything good this team has done in the past week or so. Even that game was ruined by the fact that they turned a 11-1 joke into a 14-9 ulcer-inducer. Nice work boys. Quality.

Everywhere you look, it's a gigantic train wreck. Blown saves. Errors. Missed MRI's. Rally killing D-Lee ABs. Ted Lilly's Home Run Derby. Cedeno. Starting pitchers needing 9 DAYS between starts. Whole SERIES without a single extra base hit. They are an embarrassment.

They aren't that bad, you say? Really? The ONLY player who has actually stepped up and shown anything resembling an actual human emotion since the bottom fell out is everyone's favorite whipping boy, Jason "My October is Wide Open" Marquis. Watching him scream at the home plate ump was just what I expect from a team playing this bad. I want to see the anger. I need to see the frustration, the asshole-ishness. While everyone else was talking about how "we can't get down on ourselves" or "everyone hits a rough patch once in awhile," Marquis is basically giving the ump the finger. Good for him.

"Don't worry," you say.

"We've got a huge cushion in the wild card," you whine.

Well, I know this is hard for your delicate little ears to handle, but FUCK THAT.

What happened to that "take no prisoners" team from August? What happened to stepping on the gas and cruising to the finish line? What happened to making September an after thought? That's all gone. These asshats pissed it away. It's infuriating and I am sick off people like you telling me to stop being a "typical" Cubs fan who wouldn't be happy if we were 50 games up. Hell yes I would be happy! What kind of idiot do you take me for?

My point is this. You and all your "blogging buddies" are idiots. The Cubs suck and so do you.

Sincerely,

Your Inner Child.

PS. Shove the Magic Number up your ass, Tribune.

Dear Inner Child,

You need a hug.

Signed,

J dot.

Go Cubs.

  1. As much as it pains me to admit it, D Lee has become a liability in the middle of the order. He is maintaining a decent average but this power is way down and he is leaving countless men on base. I think it is time to move Aramis into the 3 hole and to move D Lee to either 2nd or 6th.

    Of course now that I have said that he will go on a tear. Here's to hoping.
