  1. his fan status was questioned last night Taking a photo with a player and a jersey doesn't exactly do anything. But I think the guy's history has made clear he's a Cubs fan, and attending a Sox game doesn't disprove that at all either.
  2. Really? Every group of top level performers is littered with drugs.
  3. At least a dozen Cubs fans walkin around Hoboken today in 75 degree weather. No givin up here.
  4. There's a difference between day boating and night boating. Even sober night boating is very dangerous. Buoys and other markings are very tough to find. Add speed to the occasion and you are asking for trouble. Add cocaine and alcohol and you have a death wish, which probably explains all the people trying to talk him and others out of going. That was probably the routine, which is akin to Russian roulette.
  5. its' not like they are hurting for alumni to drive interest and if/when it ever happens it will require PR work that they probably have no interest in dealing with right now. The bold pretty much addresses this. There's no massive PR work. No one has to do horsefeathers. And the idea that Kerry Wood might be swinging a big dick around Chicago right now strikes me as funny. Kerry is about to go from favorite son to guy that threw a great meaningless game once. agree to disagree the 20k, winning NLDS, homerun in playoffs and return from injury as solid closer along with stating he felt he owed the team money already cemented his future. The fact that he has so aggressively celebrated this team can only solidify his reputation.
  6. grace actively blacked his own balls
  7. its' not like they are hurting for alumni to drive interest and if/when it ever happens it will require PR work that they probably have no interest in dealing with right now. How much PR work? All they have to do is have Kerry Wood say "Sammy is welcome to come back whenever he wants." If they get the guy that smashed his boom box to welcome him back, I don't see who's going to question the motives or particularly care that it hasn't happened already. I doubt Kerry Wood signed up for such a job.

  9. He must have done something bad that wasn't reported that burned serious bridges. The fans from what I've seen generally either want him welcomed back or are indifferent. He had a lot of warts, but I believe he had a net positive impact on the Cubs organization. He is not the biggest reason, but I think he is a small reason why the Cubs are a nationally relevant team, and an entire generation of fans who are now in their early-30's grew up idolizing Sammy. Yeah it makes no sense. He should be brought back and is an important part of the teams history, especially with a ton of current fans. Like you said, something bad/ridiculous must have happened sometime in 2004 that has never gotten out that he's been blacklisted. nah the most likely story is they hated him and Ricketts buys into the "shame" of steroids and whatnot. The holdovers still hate him, ricketts sees little upside in bringing him back and the new crew isn't wasting their time pushing for the other side.
  10. I started going gray in college and have a lot of gray now but the key word is a lot. Thick lustrous hair here, baby.
  11. No, you're way off. Fix didn't build teams, he coached them. Entirely different. He's not building the Bears, pace is. Hendry was a terribly inefficient gm who did a very bad job. Making 3 playoffs in 10 years was not an accomplishment in the wild card era regardless of Cubs history. His record was abysmal and he sucked.
  12. this is so ridiculous Fox is a coach, he's built nothing. Hendry had as much power and money as a gm could hope to have. He did what he wanted and failed.
