Captain Barnicle

It was hard to tell from the video on cubs.com, but did Bradley point to his ear after his mammoth home run? It almost looked like a taunt to the fans, like 'I can't hear you booing now, M#$@@ F#$@$!' Am I imagining things?

Best of luck, Hank...great backup catcher and good person. I hope everything works out for him and that he can recover from what befell him.

Edmonds baaaaaack....LEAPS...LANDS....catches the ball...baaaaaaack.....back some more....skips...and CRASHES INTO THE WALL!

I go to games there every year and sit in the bleachers drapped in cubbie blue and the logo. I also get nasty things said to me quite a bit and tormented relentlessly, and I'm not a loud obnoxious guy. The bleacher seats are super cheap, but full of agro mexican dudes with shaved heads who like to get roudy. It borders on being beyond friendly taunting. But hey, screw that! Go cubs! Also, of note is that they don't serve alcohol in the bleacher sections. I guess some child died a few years back and it was somehow alcohol related (no, I'm not joking). So in answer to your question...yes, and it's great! :lol:

Oh no, Scott's back!

That sucks! Get well soon Ronnie! The Cubs play is hurting his heart! C'mon guys! Pull it together!

Our perhaps it was the Freakin' PLAYERS! OK, I don't like Dusty, but lets not over or under estimate him.

Gosh...that is difficult to watch. The end of that season was a blur, but I do remember we were close and managed to blow it. How did we loose with all those guys?

Is there any way we can get Barret to go over and puch each Detroit player in the face??? If history serves, that will get them fired up and they will beat those nasty Cards!

I'd like to take this moment to annouce that I, too am withdrawing my name from consideration for the open managerial postings. The next year I plan on returning to my boring IT job.

Really!?!? :shock: Stats anyone? If so, then I say lets definitely forget about Lee and grab ourselves a heaping hot plate of pitching...

Rich Hill had babies with his sister?

Oh man. This thread made my stomach feel uneasy and puts me in a right bad mood. As others have said, I don't think this is out of the realm of possibility, or even probability that we will proceed with a similar plan. Jim has had a super hard-on for Floyd (remember the trade rumors), and desires to put the Jones clone in the other corner spot. Resigning Pierre seems very likely. I am by no means going to hold out much hope for Lee, Zito, or Schmidt. There are AT LEAST 5 other teams that will be interested that have more money and more willingness to spend it. Yipes. We have some grim scenarios if Ramirez opts out.

:shock: :D :shock: :D :shock: :D :D :D :D CELEBRATION! Bust out the champaign! I haven't been this happy since my wedding day!

Ha! I could see that. Number 4: Make me some toast and eggs, beyotch. Number 5: Never make eye contact with me. When I am speaking, you look at the floor, got it?
