Yeah...it's not every team that can give up a lead by giving up 11 runs in 1/2 inning (that lasted 47 minutes)- throwing over 70 pitches.
OK...all Cubbies fans repeat after me:
Well, there's always next year.

This is the year.
They've been saying it since 1923 (?)

Bonderman and Moroth whom were 20 game losing pitchers a few years ago are still in the team too, so it isn't a complete clean slate either.

There are so many hispanics now, its like basically living in Mexico, or at least Miami. I'm in Orlando right now, but I plan to move elsewhere as soon as possible. Maybe back to England yet again.
Prices seem to have risen out of proportion with wages.
There's better beer choices here now and avail of UK stuff.
People seem to have stopped wearing hats.
Sorry, thats cats.

So what have you contributed to the US since you came to the US?
I think that maybe I came across racist in the post. I do not dislike hispanic people, but I am under the impression that they refuse to integrate into society by not learning to speak the english language. Why is it so bad to want to live in an area where there aren't many hispanics???
