JerBear50:

Cubs and White Sox are two of the highest ticket prices in MLB, and they are both staring at 100 loss seasons.

Bears are staring down another sub-.500 season, draft and free agent signings be damned.

Lebron isn’t signing for the Bulls, who have devolved into an uncoachable mob.

No Blackhawks until October.

I’m sick of supporting all the losing franchises in this town. If you have any other ideas please share them.

It is hard to contribute anything, including heart when you aren’t even allowed in the dugout, let alone the field. Players like Zambrano, who act out get treated better than players who do what is asked of them.

@DVXPrime - Just because it's Pride Week doesn't mean you need to go talking about soccer on here.

As long as we are airing our feelings in public over Zambrano, there is one thing I have to get off my chest�

�The ball that Milt Pappas threw was clearly outside�

There. I said it. I feel so much better now.

@santo10 - That's fine. I'll just hate him twice as much so it all balances out.

I just can’t bring myself to be even a little pissed a Zambrano for this, I hate this team so much this year for how terrible they are that I don’t give a shit what happens in the dugout. Sticking him in the bull pen is still a shitty idea, Z pitches close to 200 innings every year and has a decent career win record. Gorzelanny got over 200 innings once, and has an overall losing record and higher career ERA. I get that this is all a push to get him to wave his no trade clause, but I feel like its a huge overreaction.

The Big Z is a big zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. This organization is a disaster. I just punched myself in the balls for being a long time fan of the Cubs.

The only thing Big Z has ever cared about his himself. He can pretend that he was trying to fire up this team, but he’s not been in contact with the team who have reached out to him. Even Silva, his only real friend on the team, wasn’t happy. Either was Soriano, who has also reached out. The other players? Well…They weren’t ‘pumped’ up. They were pissed. At him. He didn’t pump the team, he alienated himself and embarrassed this team and himself. Don’t be fooled otherwise.

Looks like they are trying to piss off Z enough to wave his no trade clause. He hated being in the bullpen, and now they just moved him back there. I would love to see him, and just about every current Cub gone, but can they really get anything for these overpaid players?

It is time to press the reset button on this era of Cubs, but with the bloated contracts and no-trade clauses, it is easier said than done.
