Discount tickets 8/12-8/14 in Atlanta
rynesrevenge0206 replied to Irrelevant Dude's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Thanks for the link! This save some some dough! -
You had better believe I'm enjoying this. :)

Yeah girl.

He was booed in the first home series because by the time they finally played in Wrigley he was already 0-the season (0-16 I believe). Did you really think the fans booed the new player because he was black??? [-X Golf clap. I chuckled. I know, because Chicago hates black people like Michael Jordan, Ferguson Jenkins, Ernie Banks, Andre Dawson, Walter Peyton, Sammy Sosa (in the heyday), Billy Williams, Bill Clinton, and Ced Landrum. Wait a minute. I never said that Chicago hates black people. I said that Jones got treated like crap by the fans, which is true. I remember him being booed his first home series with the Cubs. And I thought that I heard a hand full of people made racist comments to him.

Did he seriously forget the words....

Nor does a complaint necessarily have to manifest into a post.

My god looking at that lineup is just brutal. As much as Hendry and the Cubs take a beating I am sure glad those days are gone. I laughed at Buford's name, but then I saw he was above .290 with 10 HRs at the start of June. I really don't recall EVER getting that of production out of him!

You probably don't realize what kind of a market we're dealing with here. My Sandberg collection doesn't even hold up against a lot of the collections that are out there. Check out Craig's Andre Dawson collection here: http://s87.photobucket.com/albums/k133/Loyalty32/Andre%20Dawson%20Collection/

Thanks buddy! I trade over at thebenchtrading.com. I've tried every site and it's easily the safest and has the most baseball activity that I've seen anywhere. Check it out!
-
Is that all Sandberg stuff??? Either way, I was thinking about getting a shadow box to display my retired Cubs autos, but I'm not sure if I want to do that just yet (not really an apartment thing to do!).
-
Yeah, the amount of Sandberg cards out there was at about 1,200 different when he retired in 1998, and they only made 2 new ones from 1999-2001, so it wasn't too bad. Then suddenly in 2001 the card companies realized there was a demand for retired players and from 2001-2007 there's been 2,300 new cards issues and most are expensive autos and cards numbered 1/1 (yeah, only ONE person in the world can have one). I dabble in the new stuff, but the old stuff is more fun, and finishing all of his playing year cards is a slightly more attainable goal. As far as actual value, it's hard to say. Sandberg has a VERY strong following on eBay, and all of his autos get 45-60% of Beckett and most of his game used will get 40-55% (most players are considerably lower). A lot of the tougher cards from 1982-1998 will be anywhere from 40-1,000% (literally) of Beckett value. For instance, the 1984 O'Connell Ink is listed by Beckett for 75 cents, but I've only seen two on eBay in the last 2 years and both went for $15. Some of the new inserts would only get 25-40%, so that brings the collection down to earth. If I were to sell it all on eBay over the course of a year (you have to spread it out so you don't flood the market), I'd probably get $3,800.

I've been collecting off and on since '95 (5th grade), and over the last two years I've been very active on trade sites and I've been able to put together quite a collection considering my budget. Over the winter, I decided to scan my ENTIRE collection (1,300 + items), and I thought some of you might be interested. I have it set up in two ways: 1. List (by year) - There's a "PIC" link next to each card on the list. http://www.freewebs.com/bzickefoose1/sandbergcollection.htm 2. Photobucket (also by year) - Autos and Game Used cards are in their own galleries. http://s154.photobucket.com/albums/s276/bzickefoose1/Cubs%20PC/Ryne%20Sandberg/ You can also see what other Cubs autos/game-used I have here (sorted by player): http://s154.photobucket.com/albums/s276/bzickefoose1/Cubs%20PC/ Enjoy, Cubs fans!

Steve Stone: White Sox Radio Color Man
rynesrevenge0206 replied to salukifudd's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Hahaha. Nice memory! -
One major point I forgot was that his OBP also nearly identical form 2006 to 2007 (.346, .347). That stat AND the ABs being about equal makes my point a little more valid.
-
I was checking out Shane Victorino's stats since I'm in the middle of an off-line draft with lots of time between picks, and I was surprised by a few things: 1. While his at-bats stayed about the same from 2006 to 2007 (415 and 456), his steals went up from 4 to 37! That's just a ridiculous jump. 2. You would think that 33 EXTRA steals would really improve his runs total, but it only went up from 70 to 78. Considering he also increased his HR total by 6 in 2007 (accounting for 6 of the 8 runs), the 33 extra steals really made ZERO difference. I know most of us already know that steals are overrated, so this isn't anything new, but I was astounded at the minimal difference that resulted in such a hike in steals. The only thing I can think of is maybe he got moved around in the order, but I don't know where to look to find if that's the case. Okay, back to work!

Anybody Watching Games 1 and 2 in Atlanta?
rynesrevenge0206 replied to rynesrevenge0206's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
They don't have a ton of sports bars in the ATL? Not really! There's one next to Turner Field but it's horrible. There used to be a Chicago-owned and themed bar here but word on the street is it closed. -
I know I'm mostly a lurker on here, but I was wondering if anyone was watching the first two games at a bar or something in Atlanta? (I remember a decent amount of boardies being from here) Anyways, I was thinking ESPN Zone, but they close at 11. Jock's and Jill's closes at 1 am, but if the game goes longer than 3 hours, I feel like we'd get kicked out. Anybody have any suggestions???
-
Man, his ERA is almost under 4 now. NICE.
-
Who are you listening to? MLB.TV has the Cards announcers. They were complaining that Miles should have gone because Soriano slipped and he doesn't have a good arm. This was just a few innings after they praised Matt Murton for him arm in right.
-
Cards announcers: "Soriano doesn't have a very good arm" :shock:

Scott Moore 2 out RBI single puts the Cubs on the board. 1-0

Ryan Theriot=Bench Player. Period.
rynesrevenge0206 replied to KingCubsFan's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
I totally agree. I realize that, as Cubs fans, we have to look at everything in realistic terms, but how can you not like what this kid is doing up here? You can't argue with the 10 steals or the solid defense. I think the one kind of minor league player that has a shot to surprise at the major league level are scrappy, quick players with short swings. Look at Furcal's minor league stats: 987 ABs 3 HRs What does he do in his first year with the Braves? 455 ABs 4 HRs Just 3 years later he was up to 15 HRs. Also, Scott Podsednik before call-up: Minor League: 13 HR/2,300 ABs Major League: 10 HR/first 580 ABs There is hope! -
Oops, that was the second batter.... STILL!
