The Cubs are Cursed!! :)
In my franchise yesterday rich hill was pitching a no hitter on pro then in the sixth inning he gets hurt.Wuertz,howry, continue to pitch without giving up a hit then in the ninth I bring in dempster he gets the first two outs and then I give up a seeing single between ss and 3bthen he got the next guy I won 1-0 against the pirates. I won a wildacrd %30 chance for pitching a shutout woot!! great game just wish I had got the no hitter!

Re: The Cubs are Cursed!!
They BOTH suck for me. I've had 5 blown saves this year and am 3-12 now! I just blew one last night. Happens all the time. THe bullpen is terrible....hmmmm, sounds familiar. I give this a 10/10 for being a true sim!PSN: JISTIC_OS

Re: The Cubs are Cursed!!
I have Marmol as the closer too, though the Chicago papers are reporting that Pinella is leaning towards Wood as the closer. Marmol has such wicked stuff though.
But it doesn't matter in my franchise who the closer is. After starting 4-4, I've managed to drop the next nine games in pretty much blow out style. I've suddenly lost my ability to hit and pitch.Comment

Re: The Cubs are Cursed!!
Spot on Jistic, I'm 6-19 in my chise, with quite a few blown saves by Woody. I thought I had turned a corner with him after 3 saves in a row. but it wasn't the case. I really hope this team isn't reflective of the real team.XBL Gamertag

Re: The Cubs are Cursed!!
The only guys hitting for me are Lee and Soriano though. Although I've given Murton the start two games in a row over Fukadome since we faced lefties and he went on a tear including 1 HR.PSN: JISTIC_OS

Re: The Cubs are Cursed!!
I started out 0-5 with the cubs. howry was the culprit of two blown saves against the ****ty Astros. I HATE losing to Houston! Luckily, the Pirates and Reds are aweful in my season, so I swept both series. I lost 2 of 3 to the Phillies though. That is what scares me, I'm beating the crappy teams, but so far the good ones have hand-cuffed me. I decided to stick it out with howry as my closer and he's converted a couple saves. But, i'm thinking by May, i'll be ready for a trade. Something about howry, I just don't trust.
Wood has been superb thus far! He's gotten me out of bases loaded jams a few times. Lily really struggled his first start of the year, giving up 5 earned runs in 4 innings. but his second chance, he reeled it in and went 7 strong innings to pick up the W. Dempster has been horrendous for me as a starter. His ERA thus far is 11.56! I've noticed, you can miss with good pitchers and some what get away with it, but with middle to lower rated pitchers, you'll get hammered. I don't mind though. Maybe i'll stick Marquis in the rotation if it gets too bad.Comment

Re: The Cubs are Cursed!!
To top off my winless nightmare, 13 in a row, I lost Dempster for the SEASON after he tore a groin muscle in the sixth inning of a two hit shutout. Marmol ended up blowing the save. Man I suck at this game! This feels like too many of the nightmare seasons I've been exposed to as a life long Cub fan. Will I ever learn?Comment

LOL, i recently had a nightmare about the cubs season. they were playing like crap and were 13 games back at the all-star break. I just remember thinking, damn, half way thru summer and the cubs are already done. I was pissed. Here's to hoping for a good yearsorry about your ****ty season. lol

Re: The Cubs are Cursed!!
I finally started my Cub franchise. Lost 2 of 3 to the Brewers. Fielder was filthy. 9/13 in the series with 2 bombs. I salvaged the last game of the series when I brought Fontenot in for a struggling Theriot and he delivered a two out RBI single in the 8th to score Soriano.
How is Smardzja ( I know I spelled it wrong) progressing in you guys' franchise?Comment

Re: The Cubs are Cursed!!
I've started 12-0 with the cubbies. Had four extra innings wins though. Hasn't been easy, but I've had the cubbies rolling. And I've got Wood as my closer and Dumpster in the starting roation.Check out my updated 2017 blog on building a high school football video game:
