And you should, too.
However, you should ALSO come out to the Nike Chicago Northside/Southside softball game tonight. I’ll be be playing for Ryan Dempster’s Northside team. I may or may not see fit to take a crack at Southside captain AJ Pierzynski.
Until then, complete this sentence with the first word that comes to mind.
“The Cubs are . . . . ”
“The Cubs are…”
an incurable disease.
hey look at that, I’m on your twitter feed right next to this comment
I’m easily amused today
The Cubs are not good right now
sorry, its not original, but really is the first thing that I thought of
“… no longer my favorite team.”
I may like the Nats more now, too.
(This is NOT true.)
You’ve been secretly an Orioles fan for years.
BTW, everyone say happy anniversary to julie! 15 years today.
and to Max Power. Coincidentally, it is also his anniversary!
I’m pretty sure that Julie and Max inspired this.

Outside of the fact that I have a heavier beard than Fred, it’s frighteningly accurate.
The Cubs are apparently at least another year away from a rebuilding year.
I am fairly realistic with expectations in the next few years about the Cubs, but I’m getting a bit bewildered with fans of other teams that can’t understand that I don’t expect and instant turnaround
I wonder where this comes from
If that?
The Cubs are . . making me tired.
Is that why I’ve been so tired lately too?
This may turn you guys into a couple of Van Winkles
Oh c’mon, when the teacher’s off we’re not supposed to get ANY assignments!!! Jeez.
Happy Anniversary Julie and Max!
who is trying to sell Bleacher tickets in August, against the Rockies for $1199? seriously there is a listing for that
I’m so confused
My guess is that it is Tom Ricketts.
Todd Ricketts
the Treasury for the City of Chicago
Happy Anniversary Julie & Max!

The Cubs are… the Wigan Athletic of Baseball.
Harsh…
OK, follow-up answer.
The Cubs are… 16-time National League Champions.
and we’ve been saying that exact thing for 67 years.
The Cubs are, consistent.
If not Wigan, then certainly Sunderland.
I really wish I knew what you guys were talking about.
Actually, no…I don’t wish I knew what you were talking about.
Carry on.
I guess that makes the Sox the West Ham of baseball?
The Cubs are an act of faith.
In the same way that I have faith that I will soon be the ruler of the entire earth.
faith is for the weak.
This act of faith means the result doesn’t matter. We love them anyway. Sorta like having children.
i do not love children.
Except if they’re well-prepared.
The Cubs are…
a t-ball team.
Happy Anniversary to you two!
The Cubs are like a 15 year marriage…they require much patience.
I almost had a heart attack when twitter went down.
The Supreme Court missed a perfect opportunity to finally announce their ruling on the health care law.
why?
Twitter still doesn’t seem to be behaving very well. We’ll probably need to get out the defibrillator for Julie. Kinda sad that this would happen to her on her anniversary.
The Cubs Are….An Abomination..
What’s a twitter, Julie? Is that one of you youngsters new fangled contraptions?
the Cubs are a Gift
Yeah…a gift from hell.
I hate off-days
But everyone gets a chance to regroup on the off days…
The Cubs are….The Cubs….
How much would you guys hate me if I no longer hated AJ?
So you play a little softball with the guy and now your goo-goo ga-ga???
I would imagine he’s that kind of guy. Kind of like how much you HATE him on the Sox, but you’d take him on your team in a second.
I played catcher and he and i were jawing at wach other…. and he was way funnier and cooler than i expected. I don’t know how to feel. My entire existence is in question.
Don’t make me call an exorcist Julie, your speaking gibberish….Take 5 deep breaths and remember you’re a Cubs fan
So should i not post the photo of us hugging?
As long as you still have Theriot, we’ll be okay
Seriously…what a nice anniversary gift you gave to Max…you ditch him and make him watch the kids while you go to play in some celebrity softball game where you end up flirting it up with AJ Pierzynski.
Real nice.
traitor
its not that I don’t want you to like him, I don’t want my White Sox friends to be right about him
so the only solution is for AJ to become a Cub, thus pissing off White Sox fans
no
I will say this–he is just as much of a whiny-ass baby as I’ve always claimed. He whined about everything last night. But, he also laughed when I called him a whiny-ass bitch and said ‘no wonder so many other MLBers hate you,’ so you kind of have to respect that.
You were flirting with him, and you know it.
False.
