Well here it is folks. COI has finally decided to roll out our battle cry for 2009. JUST GET IT DONE or JUST GET IT FUCKING DONE, as I prefer to say, embodies our attitude for the year.
We, like many rational Cubs fans, realize that this team has suffered numerous injuries to key players this season. No excuses, JUST GET IT FUCKING DONE!
We also are aware that Bradley is off to a slow start partly because a certain sports writer decided to write some completely rediculous dribble pertaining to Milton. No excuses, JUST GET IT FUCKING DONE!
The team's ownership is in limbo. As time goes by it becomes more clear that the Ricketts family deal will probably fall through, leaving us with the Trib owner Sam Zell who is highly unlikely to approve any major trades. No excuses, JUST GET IT FUCKING DONE!
There are so many excuses out there that can be used to explain why the Cubs are a hand full of games back to teams that they are definitely more talented then on paper. I hope they adopt a similar motto for the remainder of the season because no one is going to remember the reasons they couldn't get it done. People will only remember what a complete disappointment this team was.
I personally believe that it is only a matter of time before the likes of Bradley, Lee, and Soto, put up numbers they are capable of. I also think we can expect at least 3 or 4 more torrid stretchs of Soriano completely dominating opposing pitching. Eramis and Harden will eventually return and Zambrano will eventually make 5+ starts in a row. This will add depth to both the bench and bullpen without the need of a trade. Will anyone else get hurt? Probably, but could it really get any worse then what this team has already endured? I'm guessing not. They sit 2 games above .500 after playing the worst stretch of baseball during Lou's tenure. I don't see that happening.
See...there are tons of reasons to be optimistic. I didn't even go into how the Brewers and Cards are both playing far better then they should be expected. Things have a way of evening out over 162 games. Now we just need this team to focus on what's ahead and not what has happened to them over the last couple of weeks. They are the toughest, most talented team in this division.
NOW...JUST GET IT FUCKING DONE GUYS!
Go Cubs!

Yes! I like what you have to say and am very glad you're still optimistic. There's still four more months of baseball left and the Cubs couldn't have played much worse and yet still the Cubbies are only four games back. The bats will have to come to life at some point. As long as the Cubs stay close they've always got a chance. In '07 the Brewers were in first almost the entire season before the Cubs overtook them. The Cards were great in '08 till they collapsed in September. The season is not over because the Cubs have a bad month of May. Now.... Just Get It F'n Done!
FINALLY, a true rallying cry for the 2009 season!
I'm going to put this on a t-shirt (with the Cubs logo as the "C" in "fucking")
