hahaaha I remember that! That was so awesome. That and when he was taunting the Cardinals fans because it was really hot outside and the bullpen had a huge fan in there. He said something like: "Boy its really hot out here man. You should really come down here, its cool as hell with this huge fan" <3 Dempster

Can I start game one of the NLDS? (between the Braves and Cardinals)
-
I'm not sure how the salaries look, but its rediculously ineffecient for an NFL team to carry 3 competent RBs on their team. Benson will stay and most likely Peterson is a career backup, so it looks like TJ is the odd man out. Trade him for a TE or a second round pick. It sucks to lose him, but thats what happens when the Bears drafted a RB in the first round last year...

Bah, didn't want to goto Seattle (if we win). Let's take advantage of Home Field while we have it

I didn't actually hear the clip of it. All I heard was that some fan during a Q and A flipped out at Hendry today and Hendry had an interesting response. They said they would be replaying the clip later in the show and that people had been calling in all day to comment/make fun/laugh about it. Most were probably Sox fans mocking the Cubs. I'm sure one of the NSBBers that went to the Convention will report on it tonight. Or just tune into AM 1000 or WSCR and see if they are still talking about it. I wanted to wait and listen to but I was late for work at the time.

I can't. Redskins fans are really, really annoying. They actually got angry at Dan Patrick for not picking them to win the Super Bowl... they act like every year is their year and everyone else is wrong, no matter how bad the team is doing. I dont care how annoying they are, home NFC Championship game...
-
Heard a Cubs fan flipped out at Hendry today, they were replaying on ESPN or the Score (I forgot) all day
-
Looks like jmajew won't have to work hard to make fans here at NSBB. :lol: This is true, but he is also a real life friend haha.
-
Thanks to fellow NSBB member JMAJEW, I was just offered and accepted a ticket to the game. I don't know how I'll contain my excitement at work today!!
-
I expected Prior to tell off the Cubs and Hendry and announce his desire to bolt to any other team that will give him money after he becomes a FA. -
How can that be? 4000-1? I'm assuming since you were betting on football too, this occured before the World Series. I'm not discrediting what you said, but that seems really strange to have 4000-1 odds to sweep a World Series.

I can swear you had the Bears winning by more earlier this week...
-
He really should go to Colorado with the ole blank check routine like Andre did. Then Colorado can play him in home games only, or when the lid is open in Arizona. Absolutely no starts in the California parks. Gee if that happened, I don't think there would be any way to argue that Sosa wasn't a selfish player.
-
Im almost certain he will go in as a Cardinal. How many years was he with the Cubs? 4? Then surely Maddux should go in as a Cub too..

^^ Tree you summed up my thoughts to a T. Day games in April, May and September, night games mostly in June, July and August besides weekends. I love the feel of a Wrigley night game. If fact, I used to be on the 81 day games bandwagon for awhile, but after seeing Wrigley night games, I realized that it is no less special to be at Wrigley at night then during the day. However, the spring and fall are perfect for day games. It's cooler out, kids are in school and they are two seasons where people truely enjoy getting outside for the sake of going outside. I love the feeling in April when it first hits 60 degrees and all I want to do is play hooky from school/work and goto Wrigley Field. I wouldn't trade that feeling for the world. In the summer, its brutally hot most of the time during the day, I'd rather goto the beach during the day (or work if you do that sort of thing ;)) and then hit up Wrigley when it cools off at night. Just my opinion though...I guess it doesn't matter to me because I've already sworn that I wouldn't spend a dollar on the Cubs next year anyways.

Questions you'd like someone to ask Hendry at Convention?
UMFan83 replied to badger1679666666's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Jim, Please go over what this past offseason would have looked like if your organization wasnt guarenteed to sell every single seat next year, thus giving the club no motivation to build a consistant winning team. -
Can we have a veteran's committee and vote Santo in already please?
-
Because this is my HOF ballot, I am voting for Gary only because of his HR in the 1998 Wild Card tiebreaker game.
-
Lose 8th in a row, forgot the score but they lost by four...
-
What are we going to have OF by committee next Spring? Murton, Pie, Jones, Grissom, Ibanez, Hairston And I can't see the Cubs aquiring a 2B without getting rid of Walker in the same deal. I don't see how else the Cubs would be able to unload Walker unless its for a PTBNL (most likely)

1/1 - Chicago Bears @ Minnesota Vikings
UMFan83 replied to burnt out cubbie fan's topic in Other Sports
I got in exactly when they went up (refreshed every 5 seconds from 9:59 until the sale started), tried for 2 tickets best available, and was immediately told that there were no tickets that matched my request. I've talked to about 20 Bears fans that tried to get through, some with elaborate strategies, and not one did so don't feel bad. There are some nice seats going for about $1100 on EBay though! This game is definitely a bar game. It would be nice to get into Soldier Field, but as long as your watching the game with other Bears fans, its going to be awesome. -
1/1 - Chicago Bears @ Minnesota Vikings
UMFan83 replied to burnt out cubbie fan's topic in Other Sports
I had class at 10:10 this morning, but I got to campus early and at 9:55 started logging onto ticketmaster with 4 computers and had 2 people trying to get through on the phone, but got nothing for my efforts. I'll be tailgating before the game at least, and hopefully if I am willing to wait midway through the first quarter I can luck out and find a ticket around face value -
1/1 - Chicago Bears @ Minnesota Vikings

What if Orton starts and the coaches let him air it out and these are his stats: 26-33 357 yards 3 TD 0 INT I don't think I'd turn on ESPN 1000 or WSCR for the entire 2 weeks leading up to the playoff game... Honestly, its so weird to watch this game and have no reason to care whether the team wins or loses. Here is a question: When is the last game that the Bears played where they already clinched the highest spot possible heading into the game and neither winning or losing effected them? It had to be before 1994 because it didn't happen in 2001 or 1994. Reminds me of the Cubs-Pirates game in '03 the day after we clinched the division -
Wow how did I not see this thread when I posted mine..

Saw this on Dirtdogs, don't know if the source they got it from is reliable, so don't kill the messanger. Sox get: Tejada Sox send: Ramirez Mets gets: Ramirez Mets sends: Heilman, Matsui, Benson, Bannister, Diaz Tampa Bay gets: Heilman, prospects Tampa Bay sends: Lugo Baltimore gets: Benson, Lugo Baltimore sends: Tejada Obviously judging by what the Orioles get and send away, this trade looks like it has a lot of work to do, but its worth discussing nonetheless
