Can I tell arcubsfan to [expletive] off in all game threads or is that ban worthy?

 

Not if we all do it. This should be our "I AM SPARTACUS"-moment.

Going to the game tomorrow from the Quad Cities. About a 3 hour drive normally. How much will Bears traffic change that, how much earlier should I leave?

 

just leave now why not

 

i second this

 

Going with someone who works 3rd shift tonight or else I would.

ok i'll actually try to be helpful

 

if the trip normally takes you 3 hours, i'd leave at least 5 hours before. worst case, you get there a bit early and hit the bars before the game.

lol went for my weekly look at the WSI cubs thread/forum and the consensus is the cubs are peaking way too early

i was so drunk i barely remember that

 

after the first inning i started drinking HEAVILY

[badger1679666666]

I remember only the "Kerry wood plays long ball" call

[Guest]

i wish we had those clips in HD. pretty sure that game was broadcast in HD...FOX did it back then.

 

i remember because i had an HDTV but it didn't have an HD tuner...so i bought one just for the playoffs and returned it afterwards.

Magic Number = 5

Totally thought we were going to the WS after that dong. Is it weird that woody is my fav cub ever?

This might be the happiest I've ever been as a Cubs fan

@LangoschMLB: Added wrinkle in this #cubs - #stlcards drama? Several #stlcards players scheduled to join #cubs in Motte's corn hole fundraiser tonight.

Every once and a while I watch the HRs from Woody and Alou in that game. Even though I know how it ends, both still give me chills.

[Sammys Boombox]

I've said it here many times. That Wood HR is my single greatest sports memory and I've enjoyed two Super Bowl titles.

I dunno, game 5 and its afterglow was like a dream.

Yeah, what's happening right now is [expletive] fantastic, but for anyone who can remember game 5 of the 2003 NLDS, or hell, after game 4 of the NLCS of 2004, this doesn't even compare. Everything was going right; the team was stacked and seemed set to win then AND going into the future. I remember just being so ridiculously happy about those playoff wins; never felt like anything like it over any other sports win.

the nlcs game 4 afterglow was just incredible. especially because game 4 was a blow out.

 

 

zambrano, prior, wood just needing to win one game. come on.

The 2003 playoffs will always be tops for me until we win a pennant.

These memories are turning a happy day into a sad day.

I was at Wrigley for the clinch in 2008 and that was just an incredible feeling. They were on such a damn roll.

yeah. i mentioned it before, but if/when the magic number gets down to one going into a home game this week, i'm gonna try to snag tickets on stubhub. only game i have left of my tickets for myself is saturday's.

 

also i was in wrigleyville for that one, but not at the game. i think i watched the final out at trace.
