The championships, the tradition, and of course, the frozen tundra of Lambeau Field -- the Packers are a different kind of team. Even more notable is their lack of a traditional owner. Instead of one tightwad billionaire running the show, hiking up prices, and threatening to move the team every season, the green and gold are owned by stockholders. According to the Packers' official site, over 111,000 stockholders own approximately 4,748,000 shares. Stockholders don't receive a dividend from their shares, and no one holder can own more than 200,000 shares (to prevent a crafty maverick from taking control of the team). The benefits of being a stockholder have little to do with making money. Rather, stockholders have certain voting privileges, giving them a voice in the business end of their team. However, a seven-member executive committee governs the team and handles major corporate management issues. So that said, how do you get your finger in the Packers pie? We're sorry to say that you can't. The official word is, "Not only are the Packers no longer selling shares, but existing shares may not be resold or otherwise redistributed." So unless you're already holding stock certificates, your odds of becoming a cheesehead with controlling interest aren't good. And your chances of getting season tickets are even worse -- the average wait is 30 years. :shock: :shock:

Watching WGN in SD stretched out on an HDTV is like watching a game through a dirty windshield!

I believe U-Verse uses Dish Network. That alone would deter me!

I thought his moniker was "The Body".

According to Bill Center of the San Diego Union-Tribune, the Padres traded Matt Bush to the Blue Jays for a player to be named later.

Kevin Mench? Dude wears a size 9 hat! That exudes HGH abuse! lol

And of course, the MLBPA is just as corrupt, as the COO, Gene Orza was tipping the players off as to when these "unannounced tests" were gonna happen. Nobody's talking either. ARod says: "Talk to the union, I'm not saying anything". The union says: "we're not discussing this at this time"

My only gripe about Hot Stove is that it's replayed over and over and over and over in the mornings.

Should Pujols (the other alleged "natural" aside from ARod) start to worry??? Time will tell!

All I know is that the cubs had him working on core training, something that was non-existant in his workout when he played in japan/last year. That's about all I've heard. What's core training? Abdominal, oblique, and back strengthening stuff, to my understanding. They bought Kosuke a series of Pilates videos? :-k

:pig:

For those interested.

Cubs deny rumored Takahashi deal

As a journalist, I'm sure you know that you have to filter through a bunch of crap to find substance. Don't give up based on only a handful of silly comments. BBB provided a good start to what you asked for. There are many of us here who can actually build upon that. Give it some time.

We already have a big enough head-case on this team with Z... I say NO.

Yep, that's what I get too.

Ok baseball fans, let's see your predictions! Here goes mine.. NLDS: Cubs vs. Dodgers: Cubs win series 3-1. Phillies vs. Brewers: Philly wins 3-1. NLCS: Cubs vs. Phillies: Cubs win series 4-2 --------------- ALDS: White Sox vs. Rays: Rays win series 3-2 Boston vs. Angels: Angels win 3-2 ALCS: Angels vs. Rays: Rays win series 4-3. ------------------------ WORLD SERIES: Cubs vs. Rays: Cubs win series 4-2.

My first Cubs game was May 28th, 1977 vs. Pittsburgh - My parents took me to Wrigley for my birthday. Rich Rueschel started and Bruce Sutter got the save. http://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/CHN/CHN197705280.shtml

In regards to refunds... When the series vs. Houston got moved to Milw., StubHub refunded me the full amt of the tickets INCLUDING S&H fees. (without having to return the tickets)

adam, just change "you're" to "your" in your sig, and you'll be fine! :)

WGN TV broke scheduled programming about 10 minutes after the game ended and showed the bubbly flyin in the clubhouse and out on the field and interviews with a few players along with Lou and Hendry.

Never change, Len... you and Bob are truly a joy to listen to!
