    Whew! Sounds good.

    That's a great comeback.

    I'm all for it. I'd love to see him retire as a cub. Sounds to me he really wants to come home. Get it done Hendry.

    It's been far too long that I've anxiously awaited every Bulls game. So fun to have a good team again.

    Minnesota served it up last night. They played like complete [expletive]. Nice for the regs to get some rest last night.

    Rose!

    If this is true, that's awesome. I can't think of anything more fitting. This has to happen.

    Dunn walks.

    If you're talking about the Cubs, we lose Grabow, Samardzija, Fukudome, Ramirez(team option), Silva, and Dempster has a player option. If you're wondering what's available through FA next offseason, the short answer is not much. But, 1B options could include Prince, A-Gon and even Pujols. We aren't getting any of those 3.

    This. I haven't gone in 2 years, but went the 3 years prior and had a blast. Getting drunk talking baseball always rules. Autograph hounds are weird. Why waste 4 hours waiting for a stupid signature.

    And he did it all with full on diabetes. Imagine how good he could've been if he was healthy.

    Damn, this sucks. No matter how bad Ron over the years I still got a kick out of him and still loved Pat and Ron. Won't be the same without him.

    Getting 1000 people to your site one time is not nearly as valuable as getting 10 people to visit your site 100 times, or even 100 people to visit 10 times. To reiterate, social networking is not a worthless activity, but so many people place way way way too much emphasis on it for business. It's also for search-ability and ranking, which generates more traffic. How do you know those 1000 people only visit 1 time? Sure it's not as huge as site optimization (ex. second paragraph), but it helps. Just curious...Why do you think business and websites place too much emphasis on the like button, Twitter, Facebook, Digg, etc... I mean just about every website uses this. I guess we all are just wasting our time, eh?

    That has nothing to do with it. Dude, the point is to create back links to your website. The more back links the higher the ranking and it makes your sight more searchable. When you hit "like" what does it do? It creates a link to the persons facebook that directs back to your page. Now lets say 1000 people hit your like key, you just went viral. You know have 1000 links that link back to your site. Social networking is getting very big. One more tip. In chrome hit CTRL F. Type in Chicago Cubs how many times is this mentioned on your forum home page? Google bots read text and associate the word to your website, thus helps you become more searchable. You should be saying: Chicago Cubs Game Threads, Chicago Cubs Discussion. Ad Chicago Cubs in every single description...etc...

    Or at the very least, to waste a lot of effort making it look like you're savvy. It's not wasted effort if the end results gains you more traffic flow. Better then the alternative of not doing anything, no? The purpose of message boards is to build communities and traffic flow, which in return is more attractive to potential advertisers. I shouldn't have to tell you that. People who follow through second hand links from social media are not the people who buy from you or become long time members or whatever your goal is for your site. It's not completely worthless, but it's about 20 rungs lower on the priority list than the popular perception(I started a business/web site, better get myself on Facebook and Twitter!). Content is king. You are clueless...Please stop.

    I'd also suggest Facebook. At least activate the facebook "like" system. It's quite q powerful system for getting the word out and creating back-links. We just installed Twitter and the like system on my phpbb3 board, so it's doable. We are getting close to getting the facebook connect working like we have on my highdefjunkies.com site. In this social day and age it's a must for business.

    Just because you spend like the Yankees doesn't mean you have to root for them. This actually made me laugh hard. I meant it's depressing that the [expletive] Rangers are in the world series and we (Cubs) are watching from the outside, yet again...
  19. C.C.
    Depressing!
  20. C.C.
    Booooo!!!!!

    Money and family.

    You'd think by now they'd learn from past players mistakes and hire an accountant to handle money and invest.

    It does seem to add credence to the theory that Quade will be managing the team next season. All that's happened is that Larry picked up his option. The Cubs have not in any way stated that he'll be back, correct? He just simply hasn't been fired yet, I guess. They aren't that stupid to fire LR. Right?

    Sadly '03-'08 was as good a run as many Cubs fans have ever experienced. 84 still kills me.
  25. C.C.
    Yes really....I've been worried a really, really [expletive] long time.
