Guillen is the epitomy of just about every sox fan.... he's perfect for that organization![/i]

LINK Pretty interesting comments made by Bowden... discuss?

Hmm, Dempster Ave..... has a nice northside ring to it! :wink:

Personally, I'd prefer if the Marlins go to SA, to be in the NL... only so I don't have to drive 3 hrs to Houston to see the Cubs... but that's just me.

So Johan Santana is not in the book? :x Well, look how well Hawkins pitched for the Twins before he came to us....

Hawkins and Jones were both free agents. That's right... thanks for the correction. The question should then be: ..... When are the Cubs gonna learn not to deal with, or sign former Twins??? We just seem to have terrible luck with players from that organization.

When are we gonna learn not to make deals with the Twins???? Big Cub/Twins busts that come to mind: Rick Aguilera LaTroy Hawkins and now.. Jones

and Farnsworth gave up a 3 run double to the Big Skirt wednesday night... he was mighty POed!

post deleted... I pretty much said the same as blake in reference to corporate support for a team. I should probably read all the posts before replying! :oops:

You'll also get the Comcast Sports Net broadcasts along with broadcasts from the other teams city/area while playing the Cubs. I like to run RCA audio and video cables from my video card to the TV. At full screen it looks a bit better on the TV cuz your sitting further away. You cannot save the broadcasts as they're streaming media. With Realplayer Plus, I think you can save the archived vids.

And you know that current regime doesn't care? How do you know that? Did they tell you that themselves? You must know someone with the Cubs to know such secret information. Oh yeah.. it's quite evident that the Tribsters care so much about putting a winner on the field, rather than profiteering off the fans (and the bandwagoners)... take off the rose colored glasses RedIvyCub, where have you been over the years?

Ahhh Vance.... make that TIED for the second best record... GO SPURS GO!

I sat courtside at game one of the 03 West Conf. playoffs in San Antonio.. about 25 feet away from Cuban. Lemme tell ya, the Dallas fans LOVE him!! And he loves his team's fans. He's "one of the guys" when it comes to being at the games. Is he colorful? Yes. Annoying? To the opposing team's fans, Yes. But, truth be told.. he has passion for his team and it was quite evident that night I saw him because he wasn't very happy that the Mavs lost! Would I want him as the owner of the Cubs? Very much so! It's about time someone in the upper echelon of this organization cares about their team the way he does.

Watch out Anheiser Busch, your stocks are sure to climb with Ponson in StL! Quit drinking??? I thought I read somewhere that he recently got busted again.

My story goes like this... My first MLB gameattended was a Cubs game in 1978 against the Pirates. There was maybe 15,000 in the stands but an 8 yr old, I had a blast! I felt an attraction to the team, Dave Kingman hit a monsterous home run that day.. I also remember my grandfather sitting in front of the TV on Sundays with an Old Style in hand listening to Brickhouse's "HEY HEY" call.. But something just wasn't there to really draw me to this team. I used to watch the Saturday morning shows on Channel 44 and afterwards the White Sox would come on. Boy they had peculiar uniforms with the collared shirts and horizontal striped socks. I liked the fireworks that shot from the pinwheels out over center field when a HR was hit (hey, I was 10 at the time). And this announcer with huge glasses singing "take me out to the ballgame". GASP, I was a Sox fan (shudders). What really drew me in to that team was Harold Baines. After the 1983 season when the Sox lost to Baltimore in the playoffs, something changed... I was riding high that year, they had a powerful lineup and dominating pitching and then to see them choke at the end was disheartening, pluse I couldnt stand listening to "the Hawk" calling games. Then 1984 came and I started watching Cub games with my best friend (hey, there was Harry singing the 7th inning stretch again!) I think I watched every game that year, I was a freshman in HS and my math teacher even had the playoff games playing on a TV in class. There was so much buzz floating around that season, and that was the magic that drew me back to this team. Unfortunately, they choked too at the end, but I've stuck with 'em ever since!! So, yes there was a period (1980-83) that I succumbed to the dark side (no pun intended). I still have the program from that game in '78!

I'm all for it!!

I think my sig says it all...

My latest thought on Kevin Mench is that he has an enormous cranium. Size 9 cap!!!!

2003 was Baker's first season with the Cubs.

I'm rooting for the 'Stros (the fans here in the SA/Austin area aren't that bad) to win the NLCS. However, I have to go with the Angels to win the WS.

While I sure do appreciate the number of responses, it sure seems that my intended topic has drifted wayyyyyyyyy off here. If you wish to discuss Kenny Williams' abilities (or lack, thereof) as a GM. Please create a separate topic and let this one die graciously! Thanks!
