Eddie likes the bleacher expansion....because he still uses typewriters....

 

I guess I'm not a true traditionalist

 

As someone now planning to sell my bleacher tickets for upcoming St Louis and White Sox series, I am against the bleacher expansion as well.

 

How much are you asking for em? Just out of curiousity. :)

 

I dunno. We'll see if my apathy holds up enough for me to actually be willing to miss going to the games.

 

If I did give them up, I wouldn't ask for more than actual costs if giving them to NSBB members.

[Banedon]

I'm starting to lose interest and it isn't even the end of May yet. :cry:

 

If Baker gets fired, but we never get back into it this year, would you still be interested?

[mul21]

We need more stoned people in the booth during blowouts.

 

Or at least Murray or Sucliffe.

 

They should let Len and Bob start drinking after the Cubs fall behind by 5 runs.

 

Why should they wait that long, it's just a matter of time before it happens anyway. Let 'em have fun from the get go.

[badger1679666666]

Are they saying Boo? Or Ryuuuuuu?

[oldstyle81]

sad to say, id love to see them just start throwin trash on the field

[Fred Hornkohl]

Bard walked, Gonzalez scored, Cameron to third, McNulty to second

Len & Bob are starting to realize Harry Caray was a wise man. A wise man, indeed 8)

[Chris]

The good news is that the Fathers won't score again

[abuck1220]

having eddie in the booth was the highlight of the cubs season so far.

 

agreed.

 

I wish PJ was touring on their own. I can't afford the Joint bill with Tom Petty.

 

the whole tour isn't w/ tom petty. i can't remember who is opening in chicago, but it's not him. and since i've been a fan club member since the late 90's, i'm fittin' to have some great seats. :D

 

I should have clarified. I live up in Minneapolis now, and that's a joint bill.

 

I really wanted to go see em at Alpine again. They've played some great and memorable shows there - Ice Bowl, the show in 2003...

 

i was thinking about going to xcel, but it is pretty expensive. i'm kinda disappointed they're not doing a wider tour. last time they even came to council bluffs, iowa. des moines just got a new fancy arena, so i was hoping for a local show. i saw them four (?) times on their last tour.

If baker gets fired, neifi would be the only one terribly upset

[hrowengartner]

There are tix on stub hub going for $9 in the uppers, bleachers are down to $48-55 range for upcomming games.

It would be interesting to see how the team responds, and what the fall out will be.

 

It'll sure be more intersting than it has been.

[Banedon]

Eddie is prophetic.

[UMFan83]

You know with an offday tomorrow, it would be a perfect time ot take care of some administrative things and allow enough time to let the dust settle before Tuesday.....

 

Thats 101 Runs - 32 Runs over the last 16 games.

[Fred Hornkohl]

[JC]

It would have been nice to see someone go out and calm down Ryu after hitting Cameron, but hey, its not like its his major league debut or anything.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

did I hear

 

"Dusty sucks" chant in the background?

 

Nah, "leftfield sucks."

 

C'mon, Ryu!

[Guest]

In this 16 game stretch where the Cubs have gone 2-14, the Cubs have been outscored 100 - 32

 

100 opponent runs

32 Cubs runs

 

Average score of:

 

6.25 - 2

The really sad part is that with a run differential like that the Cubs should consider themselves lucky have two wins. 1-15 would be more in-line with being 70 runs in the hole over 16 games.

Think about Darren. Dusty has a family to feed! :twisted:

[Chris]

Those precious moments figures given out at Wrigley are bringing some cash on ebay. I bought one from a few years ago and would like to get the new one for my wife.

[UMFan83]

There are tix on stub hub going for $9 in the uppers, bleachers are down to $48-55 range for upcomming games.

 

That would be too much for me

[abuck1220]

maybe a brief break for a vedder encore.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Murton grounded out to third, 5-3

I agree. I'm pretty much not even caring about the losses. I really haven't since late last week...I'm willing to endure whatever it takes to get changes made. I hate talking to my Cardinal fan friends, and they are actually sympathetic, as they watch this team being mismanaged into the ground. I think they'd rather have it be competitive as well.

Well if you come up, I'll buy you a beer before the show. That will be after I go to all 3 Twins-Cubs losses.
