Why The Cubs Need Ryno

I know that everyone’s probably already talked this to death.. but here at Camp Shelby, I’m a few weeks behind the real world.. I know what’s going on in the real world, but my reaction time is a little slow.. That said, this is why I think the Cubs need Mr. Sandberg.
1.  We need a [...]

Notes – 8/27/2010

First off, we at Ivy Envy would like to apologize for the frequency of our posts dropping off.  We don’t want to write about the Cubs, so I can only assume you have an equal amount of disinterest in reading about the Cubs, so let’s call it even.  Here’s just a [...]

Today is the bus trip

After 5 months of waiting, our bus trip to the Cubs game is today.  I’m pretty floored that 56 people will be making this trip today.  I’m glad that we sold the tickets in February, when everyone was excited about the Cubs.  If we would have waited until this point in the season, I’m not [...]

The Nerve of this Franchise

In June, the Cubs went 10-16.  Their overall record is 34-45, 11 games under .500 a week and a half before the All-Star break.  Wax Paper Beer Cup (via Twitter) pointed out today that they are on track to win fewer than 70 games this season.  I could go on and on with everything wrong [...]

Notes – 6/30/2010

Since I’m on vacation, I don’t want to ruin this time of relaxation by actually putting together a thought-out post about this crummy team.  So I’ll just put together a few thoughts here.

Since unloading 12 runs on the Angels in the final game of that series, the Cubs’ offense has disappeared.  Since that game, the [...]

Another reason I hate the 2010 Cubs.

The Cubs were dealt another series loss in Seattle this week, salvaging the last game of the series.  Before Andy and I recorded Podcast 2.15, we were discussing that it feels like the Cubs have had a lot of series in which they lose the first two games and win the third.  So let’s take [...]

White Flag Sans “W”

There aren’t too many good things to say about the Cubs right now.  I watched all of Tuesday night’s terrible game and only some of last night’s equally terrible game.  What the crap is up with Wells?  It’s too bad that Marshall and Gorzelanny are both lefties because it’s looking like Wells should get a [...]
