Total 2 for Seahawks 3 for Bills 2 for Bucs I'll also be going to the 49ers game and the Giants game in NY! Woo hoo!

nice, I got MIA and now going for Bills too. Congrats! My friend and I are blanketing this operation.

Seahawks!!!!! Going for the Bills game now....

How does ARAM bunt that far? Others should take notes.

Buerhle is getting smoked again.

Barrett is good at baseball.

:nervous:

He is a reverse stereotype, people always say Sox fans obsess over the Cubs (many do), but he is doing the exact same thing with the Sox and to a much lesser extent the Cardinals. So what? Is it necessary to give him crap about it in every thread? If they want him to stop, then yes. He doesn't seem to have a problem being called out like this, let him defend himself. If they want him to stop? Stop voicing his opinion? That's ridiculous. I think his hatred of the Sox is excessive, but he's certainly entitled to his opinion and doesn't deserve to be belittled for it every time he expresses it. Hey man, if the crap CBB gets gets your panties in a knot, then don't open the thread.

No offense was meant. I like you and you smell terrific.

I feel your coming down hard on me here but I will drop if because truely, I don't care.

I went for The Doors out of spite.

Dusty's abuse of pitchers is criminal. We need to get Dusty out of here ASAP.

DFA

good question...my guess is that he's done. I would hope he is but I fear he isn't.

Any indication that Z is done for the day?

The curse of Sosa? I'm convinced.

:oops: I can't speak for the rest of these guys, but I meant what I said in every possible way!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :wink:

Barrett is hotter than the sun right now.

I would throw regicide in there as well.

What was wrong with my tone? I didn't attack the poster I attacked what he said: 'his angle.' The angle is played out and it is stupid, in my opinion. This is the prevailing national opinion regarding Cubs fans and is also the prevailing opinion in Chicago. I've seen little to back it up and I equate it to "All White Sox fans are white trash." which is also stupid. People just spit it out without thinking about it. "Cubs 'fans' don't go to games for the team they just go for the atmosphere.' It belittles us and I hate it. You can see it how played out it is by the whole "cell phone" thing. Yeah, who has one of those things? They must be a yuppie! In any event, I think it's tired, cliched, crap and frankly, I'm tired of hearing it. Edit: Judging from the relpies in this thread, I'm not stopping this run away freight train so I'll just drop it.

I don't think anyone is arguing that this doesn't happen at other parks. It does happen in every park. It's just happening more in Wrigley these days due to the poor product on the field. I honestly can't believe that you can tell the difference in a hard core fan and a casual fan. A casual fan has their Wood/Prior jersey that they break out of the closet once or twice a year just like the hard core fan does. I'm not here to label the fans, and I am 2300 miles away from Wrigley. I'm not one that can argue either way, but I didn't see anything wrong with what Impaler said here. And I can find it very reasonable to believe that many hard core fans have sold their tickets to casual fans due to the lack of anything worth watching on the field. We have many hard core fans on this message board, and many of them have stated that they aren't going to games. Who is buying up those seats? Most, if not all, are resold tickets since the season was basically a sell out before the season ever started. This is some pretty shoddy reasoning here. Because there are people here aren't going to games, then those tickets must be going to non-fans who don't care about the Cubs? That's not necessarily the case at all. I know a lot of friends who were working/busy when the tickets went on sale and picked up tickets via ebay/craigslist/brokers. In fact, I did so myself last Friday. Am I a non-fan? "Happening more in Wrigley these days"? You live 2300 miles away from the stadium. I live .3 miles from the stadium. A vast majority of the people who go to Cubs games are Cubs fans and feel very strongly about what happens to the team. Sure there are some who go to the games to get drunk and pick up chicks/dudes. To assert that these people are 'a lot' of the people at the games, is absurd. I don't see why people feel the need to malign the fans of their own team (and themselves by extension). I have to deal with this enough from White Sox fans that I'm very discouraged to see it here. I also don't get the need to distinguish between "hardcore fans" and "casual fans." Not everyone has the time to dedicate to watching all the games and obsess over every minor detail like we do. That doesn't make them any less of a fan.

I'm sorry this is where perception has become reality. This stuff happens at every park. I've been to about 9 Cubs games this year and haven't run into too many "non-fans" just going to the game to drink and talk on their new fangled cell phones. Maybe the people there aren't big enough fans to post on message boards like this or know all the prospects in the system, but that they're fans all the same. This condescending crap, especially coming from Cubs fans, makes me sick.

This is a stupid and played out angle. Can we stop it with this already?

I'm not sure why this didn't register until just now, but the Rams game is at St. Louis. The only prime time game the Bears are playing is sunday night against the Seahawks. I'd imagine games like the Bills and Dolphins would be the least popular ones, so it probably would make sense to try for a game that will be in more demand first. I'm an idiot. I have the schedule right in front of me yet still... :roll: I'll probably go for the Seahawks game first then, then the 49ers, then the Bucs. I'm hoping to spread the ticket love over the course of the season.
