Please forgive me

This really should be a time of great rejoicing in Cub Nation. Please don't get me wrong, I WANT the Cubs to win, just as much if not more than any of you.

I have just been hurt so many times. Even the dumbest dawg starts to flinch the 35th time his drunken master swings at him with a baseball bat. I am looking for the chink in the Marlins' armor, the one sign that we have this under control. I knew we matched up well with Atlanta. There were so many expectations on their head, and their fans suck dick.

But the Fish are the complete wildcard, and not just in the standings. You don't know which school of Fish is going to show up. On paper, we should beat these assclowns. I could not believe they beat the Giants, I could not believe they kept pulling ahead Monday, and I couldn't believe how little embarrassment they showed last night.

I don't see the flaw. They shouldn't be here in the first place, so how can any of us point to something in their makeup and say - "HERE!" We out-point them at nearly all positions, but curiously, they are stronger up the middle - C, 2B, SS, and CF. Well, maybe not SS, if Babe Gonzalez keeps it up. Damn, someone find out what brand tortillas he's been eating, and get a whole case for the rest of 'em.
