Mayor Daley and Gov. Blagojevich will be in attendance! Who would've thought?

[NCCubFan]

Last year it was televised on WGN. Hopefully they'll do the same again this year.

They will, per Len and Bob on today's broadcast. I don't know if there's a local/national discrepancy, though.

[David]

So who is going to this thing?

[UMFan83]

So who is going to this thing?

 

I'll probably bite. I went last year and it was ok.

[David]

i'd be more inclined to go if the players were going. i think the red sox players went to theirs. :?

 

i might tivo it though

[Roast]

So, I get out of class at 11:50 which means I could go but i'd be probably about 10-15 minutes late.

 

Unfortunately my girlfriend is still sick and I have to do some stuff for her after I get out of class. how lame.

[KPet]

I would definitely go if some of the players were going to be in attendance.

 

As much as I want to hear Mayor Daley make some lames jokes at the podium and cheer on the Cubbies, I think I'll pass.

Why are they doing this at all? Did they do it all of the other years? Seems to me like an unnecessary event - does anyone really need a Cubs Pep Rally?

I don't know about all the other years, but they did last year.

It's on CSN right now. As usual, Jim Belushi is an embarrassment to the memory of his brother.

It does. I mean, imagine a Tampa rally. It'd be pathetic.

This year's seems pretty lame as well.

Yeah watching this is like hearing the same thing over and over... boring

[cbbryan]

I miss Harry!

[inari]

I'm sure everyone's dying to hear from Sean Marshall and Micah Hoffpauir.

 

Oh, okay, they've actually got good players.

No one really roared until DLee walked out.

[BCVM22]

Gott un Himmel, what has Belushi done to Go Cubs Go?

[inari]

And it ends with Jim Belushi ruining Go Cubs Go. Good times.

[BCVM22]

And the sad thing is that if they kept the drum beat and got even a half-decent singer to do this, it would probably be palatable.

[David]

damn i would've gone if i knew players would be there...

 

 

and yea, every team does this... same as last year

[inari]

With the confetti falling like that, it's cool to pretend this is a World Series parade.

 

Is that sad?
