Agreed. It would take a lot to tear Woody from Chicago, and from the interviews I have heard with Dempster, he seems to feel the same way!

I've been reading the story on Cubs.com. Apparently the Dodgers clubhouse staff told Hendry that it has happend 4 or 5 times this year.

No all I'm saying is the fans need to get behind the team and encourage them. Just like they did against the Rockies and the Brewers and all the other times they came from behind to win!

While the team and manager take heat for this dismall playoff series (and righfully so) what about the fans' lack of support? They were a little better in Game 2 but as soon as Loney got the grand slam in Game 1 they just sat on their hands or prayed for the rest of the game. Wrigley Field was like a morgue! Cubs fans have been vocal all year and rallied behind the team to encourage comebacks but went silent when it counted.

Yeah! Crapping yourself is not usually a good sign. But if it meant the Cubs winning I would deal with some trouser chili.

Yeah here's the story on Cubs.com http://chicago.cubs.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20080925&content_id=3548029&vkey=news_chc&fext=.jsp&c_id=chc

Thanks NonProfitCow. Hilarious!!!!!

Apparently Torres was not concerned about the Cubs because he was going to pitch them the perfect ball to hit over the fence. Thanks Torres.

viewtopic.php?f=2&t=51148 Been up all day. Thanks Cynosure. I guess I should read the list of posts before I jump in with a duplicate!

I've just read this on Cubs.com http://chicago.cubs.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20080917&content_id=3496099&vkey=news_chc&fext=.jsp&c_id=chc

Limewire is a decent P2P site where you can download pretty much any song you can think of.

I dont know if any of these have been posted before, or if anyone is interested. But I downloaded this free ringtone of Go Cubs Go. http://www.mytinyphone.com/ringtone/101786/

Me likee alright. Couldnt be happier for Big Z.

That's a pity. I saw him two weeks ago at the Kane County Cougars game. He was pitching for class A Peoria Chiefs in his last rehab game. He pitched two pretty good innings and didn't look bad at all.

Lou had one of his "SENIOR MOMENTS" lol.

Gimme a break. I was obviously referring to the masses of bandwagon fans that will come crawling out of the woodwork once the Cubs clinch a playoff spot, all scrambling to get tickets, thus making it tough for actual die-hards to get theirs. At least the lottery system gives everyone an equal chance, unlike the VWR and it's inherent potential for abuse. Don't take things so personally. Sheesh. I think it's quite the opposite. Lotteries encourage far more people to enter and try for tickets who otherwise would not have bothered. Opening up a ton of windows isn't some hidden trick. Most people figured that out many years ago and I'm sure a quick google search would give anyone the answer. Or you could spend a minute figuring out which url you need during the 30 minutes before tickets go on sale. Many people do have multiple windows, but they stop at 10 instead of in the hundreds. It isn't hard work. But what's even easier is submitting a lottery entry, of which there will be far, far more than the number of people who would have tried through a VWR. I don't think you should expect anyone here to be happy about this decision. It was easy to get NLDS and NLCS tickets last year and was going to be relatively easy again this year if you had the people and took the time. Now, the odds are quite slim. The only hope is if this will be unlike the other MLB team lotteries and they'll actually have a fair amount of people get selected (not unlike the lottery for the dugout, bleacher, and bullpen box seats). I assume they'll still use a VWR, so perhaps they just want to try and cap the number of people trying for the sake of the tickets.com servers. I kind of doubt it, though. As for the specific seats, those won't change. Nor will the quantity. It will be the 200, 500, and some 400 level seats that aren't season tickets, as well as bleachers, just like last year. http://www.ticketbrokersecrets.com/cubs-vwr-tricks.htm It seems that the VWR is manipulated just as easy as a lottery. These brokers don't give a crap about the REAL FANS as long as they line their pockets.

Sorry, I have to disagree. I like the blue alternate jersey.

lol.. neither did i.. I think it's supposed to be Aramis-slam morphed together, but I could be wrong.

. Plus the Cubs have had really bad luck playing in domes this year.

Anyone else thinks that Marmol looks like Obama?

I totally agree. Very little gets by Geo. Hopefully they realise this in the front office long before contract renewal time.
