And then my fingers got cold so i stopped taking pictures.

[Soriano12]

No pics of the Cubs high powered offense in action :lol:

[J.R.]

Good stuff. I hope they win next time you go.

[Roast]

Good stuff. I hope they win next time you go.

No kidding. I've dealt with a couple of tough ones so far this season. But, barring any unforeseen circumstances, I wont be at Wrigley again until june 14th against the mariners.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Why didn't Griffey wear his socks high?

 

Nice pics, Roast, thanks.

[ConstableRabbit]

Again, nice pics. We've been at the same games so far this year. Whenever I go I usually win, so I'm blaming these two losses on you.

Were you cold in the shade, you were prob. pretty close to the Naper. Central baseball team? My 1st Cubs game since Aug. of '05 and this is what they gave me.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

I liked the poster UK more than PingHitter.

It describes my baseball abilities (lack of) better.

It wasn't bad temperature wise, but i had the wind blowing right in my face most of the game which sucked. And yeah, the naperville team was about two sections to the right of me.

Nice pics, Roast, thanks.

 

Hopefully the Cubs who wore 42 will continue to wear the socks high.

[Sammy Sofa]

Nice pics, Roast, thanks.

 

Hopefully the Cubs who wore 42 will continue to wear the socks high.

 

Agreed. Lee looked awesome with the high socks.

[biittner77]

This seems like as good a place for this as any. I caught a little bit of the Pads-Dodgers game.

 

Seeing Juan Pierre wearing #42 then hitting a weak grounder to 2nd, I was really hoping he'd throw home.

 

They're talking about making a new movie about Jackie Robinson with Robert Redford as Branch Rickey. I think they have to get Cuba Gooding JR. to play Jackie Robinson.

[transplanted_suburbanite]

He probably would have sustained an injury.

Nice pics, Roast, thanks.

[Irishoshea21]

Nice pics... but that isn't the WGN booth, really.

 

pat and ron sit up in the press box. That's just a WGN 720 sky box.

[Derwood]

why is Brady f'in Quinn throwing out the first pitch on Jackie Robinson day?

[BigbadB]

why is Brady f'in Quinn throwing out the first pitch on Jackie Robinson day?

 

Because Jackie Robinson wasn't available?

[jersey cubs fan]

why is Brady f'in Quinn throwing out the first pitch on Jackie Robinson day?

 

His PR people have been on overtime since he started plumetting in the mock drafts. The guy has been on everything in the past two weeks.

so the next best choice was a rich white kid from Notre Dame?

It's seriously getting ridiculous. The irony is by the time he started whoring himself out, he'd worked his way back up into the top five in most of the mocks (thanks to his workouts).

 

I'm not happy I missed it though...I always seem to miss when ND people do the stretch.
