I thought of this last year when he was brought into the booth. My thinking was if Dusty got fired mid season, who would be a better immediate replacement than a guy who has watched the team all season. And he did win the World Series as a manager. Lord knows we don't want Rothschild, Pole, Clines or Mathews running the team. Maybe Chris Speier's, but he has probably been tainted by the Crusty poison too. Did anyone here Gammons on Mike and Mike this AM. When I got in the car I heard Greenie say in the last hour they talked with Gammons and from what Mike said, Dusty being fired was mentioned? :lol:

My first ever baseball game, my little league team went to an Indianapolis Indians (AAA affiliate for Reds at the time, now Pirates) game at old Bush Stadium. One of my coaches was eating the whole peanut, shell and all. He said this was the only way to eat them. I tried it, and 25 years later this is still the way I prefer to eat peanuts. There is nothing better to me than being at a ballgame with peanuts and cold beer. Probably a good thing I don't get to a lot of games, because I'm sure the shell can't be good for the digestive tract. But seriously, if you have never tried it, at least try it once. Just a little bit chewy, okay, a lot chewy. A pretty salty too.

Which early surprise team will be the first to tank?
Wilmo replied to Derwood's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Haven't we (the Cubs) already won this poll? -
So let me get this straight. The curse placed on the Cubs was a 100 year curse? And this was done in 1908??? Well hot damn, we only have a few more years and the Cubs will be winning the Series again. Just maybe I will get to see a Chicago Cubs World Championship before I die. Man does that have a nice ring or what? Chicago Cubs World Series Champs. How about if the curse was done in Canadian time, maybe it would have ended sooner and this could be the year? :lol:

Anyone else remember this? Rick Monday saves the flag
Wilmo replied to Cubfanintheknow's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
I usually just hang out and read what everyone has to say here at NSBB. It's nice to "get the goods" on the Cubbies without all of the troll trash you get with other boards. But this is one message that requires a reply. What an awesome story! I'm a life long Cub fan and have never heard that story before. I still have goose bumps after reading that. Thank you Cubfanintheknow for posting that and thank you Rick Monday for doing the right thing. Great story!
