BCB Infiltrated by kids?

Seriously, it is getting just silly around here. I read these fanshots and fanposts and I usually enjoy the discussion that follows, but anymore it is getting embarassing. Are there just too many children posting on this site anymore? Look sometimes people say some ridiculous things, or take a completely irrational stance on baseball and the Cubs, but that is what makes things unique. For all you kids on here bantering back and forth and trying to prove some kind of point, knock it off please! I know it may be a little early for this lesson, but they will teach it to you by the time you reach 5th grade. If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all.

Bleed Cubbie Blue Who is to blame for this mess?  Vote!

 

By now we can all pretty much agree that no Cubs fans are happy with what we have seen out of our beloved Chicago Cubs this year. What I would like to ask you, is who do you feel is the most responsible for this disaster of this 2011 Chicago Cubs team? Most likely there is more than one reason for this teams' lack of success, and in all reality, we know this didn't just happen overnight. But if you think about it, who or what is the most to blame for the overall seeming failure of the 2011 Chicago Cubs? For injuries, vote "The Players."

How fitting the first 3 game sweep is done by the Astros.

Go ahead, release your anger here. Spew the vitriol, go on a tirade.

OT: BCB/SBN Freezing up Internet Explorer

Is anyone else having trouble with BCB occasionally locking up Internet Explorer entirely when trying to load the main page? I have experienced this at Work (WinXP) and at home both on my XP computer and my Vista computer. It only happens from time to time, and most of the time the main page loads fine, but other times, when it has happened, it locks up Internet Explorer to the point that I have to manuall kill the iexplore.exe process in Windows.

Just in case anybody likes to bask in Cardinal sufferage. I have to admit, I kinda did enjoy reading this a bit. It is the post on Viva El Birdos after that ugly game 2 loss by the Cardinals. Their moderator had to lock the thread so no one could continue posting because it got that bad.

I guess for some reason the ump must apparently be some sort of fan of the Cubs according to Hawkins.

Bleed Cubbie Blue D-Lee Poll: What do we think about him now?

On Saturday, in the fourth inning, Derrek Lee pounded a home run on the first pitch.  Sunday he hit a grand slam.  There has been a lot of debate recently about the decline and such of Derrek Lee.  Is he out of his slump?  Is he still in decline?  Were  people too quick to say he's declining so early in the season?  I have my own opinion, so here is a poll that should hopefully show what everybody thinks now.  My guess is many people now realize that they spoke too soon, and some might even feel embarassed for the things they said about Lee.  One thing is for sure, we definitley like the outcomes of these past few games, and we all hope it will continue.

Poll
Derrek Lee Hit a home run one game, and a granny the next. What do you think about his performance now?
I was completely wrong, Derrek Lee has still got plenty of power and potential.

Those were suprising and all, but I still think Lee is in decline.

I never doubted him a bit, he started off slow, but he is in his groove now.

Bleed Cubbie Blue Cubs/Wrigley promotions Aug. 29 and 30.

I've searched but cannot find the promotion info for these dates.  Bob mentioned some sort of 10 item food donation for the 29th and receive an autograph.  Does anybody have any additional information?  Also I haven't heard any sort of promotional info for the 29th, but was just wondering since I'll be there these two days.

Bleed Cubbie Blue Cubs fans are classy!

Hey, I've been noticing a lot of angry spirits on this site lately.  What is the deal?  Listen, I know it is very hot outside, and that makes people grumpy, but let's continue to keep our site classy.  We are all Cubs fans so we have no reason to hate on each other.  Don't be a maddog, just sip your bluekoolaide and don't try princefieldersdiet because we all know that being a mad, fat, dehydrated guy on a hot day makes us grumpy.  Trust me, I know from experience!  Let's do a better job of being peaceful so Al doesn't have to be the violation police.  Also if you've ever been to the Evil BCB, we don't want to end up like them.

Bleed Cubbie Blue OT: Where to stay, what to do in Chicago?

My wife and I finally scored 2 tickets to see the Cubs at the end of August.  We are going to stay 3 nights in Chicago.  We are from out of state and we are pretty much clueless about what general area we want to stay at, so maybe you can help us.

All we know is that we will see the Cubs game and we want to eat at Giordano's.  We also want to hit up the Wrigleyville bars after the game.  Any suggestions where we should go?

We will not be driving, so train or bus would be our preferred method of travel.  We have been to the Sears Tower and Navy Pier etc. several years ago.  We want to know what is a "must see" or "must visit" in Chicago, as well as what general area we should get a hotel at.  Any tips or advice for us to help us have the best stay in Chicago would be very appreciated.
