    Sounds like the cubs aren't playing the indians next year And yet they are
  2. UMFan83
    Do the Cubs ever give me any reason to cheer for them anymore. And yet I still do....

    Bump to the greatest thread ever. Who is ready for the season to start? Only 24 more days until opening night!

    His OPS since leaving KC: .687 .799 .750 .857 .805 Not that he was much better in KC, but his last 2 years OPS: .877 .856 His SB have declined since leaving KC from 46 to 18 His BA and OBP are above average, but not even close to worth what he will surely ask in FA with Boras as his agent.

    Criteria - Last time a team has finished .500 or better 4 years in a row or if not, 5 of 6 years ARI - 1999-2003 ATL - 1991-2005 CHC - 1967-1972 CIN - 1985-1990 COL - Never; born in 1993 FLA - Never; born in 1993, 2 championships HOU - 1996-2005 LOS - 1996-2004 MIL - 1987-1992 NYM - 1997-2001 PHI - 1982-1987 PIT - 1987-1992 STL - 2000-2005 SDG - 1982-1985 STL - 1997-2002 MON/WAS - 1987-1994 BAL - 1979-1985 BOS - 1998-2005 CWS - 2000-2005 CLE - 1995-2001 DET - 1982-1988 KC - 1984-1989 ANA - 1982-1986 MIN - 2001-2005 NYY - 1993-2005 OAK - 1999-2005 SEA - 2000-2003 TAM - Never; born in 2001 TEX - 1989-1993 TOR - 1983-1993 Every non-expansion team has been in middle of one of these streaks since 1985. The Cubs havent been there since 13 years prior in 1972. Thats a history of futility

    I don't aim high. I am not looking for a team that can dominate for 20 years. I am looking for a team that can have sustained success for 5 year. Heck, even the Royals and Brewers have flirted with that.

    Apparently no one appreciate the artistic talents of JonMDavis :( Anyways, I was stunned and shocked to come home today and see that my NSBB prize was already received in the mail. And the good news is the Jersey fits! It definitely brightened my day in what was otherwise a bleak week for the Cubs (in terms of how their rivals faired). Thanks to everyone to make this happen, you guys rock!

    Yeah it should be after the last game of the World Series. But most teams don't get serious about FA aquisitions until during the Winter Meetings
  9. UMFan83
    Why are you conflicted? There are 14 teams in the NY-Penn league. That means you have 13 teams to cheer for!
  10. UMFan83
    You know that feeling of misery you get when you think about the Cubs futility? It would TRIPLE if the Sox won the World Series. But I dunno, I am kinda getting used to massive misery after this year. It might just feel like another slap in the face. It wouldn't stop me from proudly wearing my Cubs hat through the city the day after the Sox won it though
  11. UMFan83
    Guys I might really do this. I did a drive by the stadium earlier today. It seems there are many potential places to get in to where the bricks are. The key is getting in there when no one is looking...
  12. UMFan83
    He left Matt Clement in when he was getting shelled by the White So- oh wait, that wasn't Dusty :embarassed:
  13. UMFan83
    Don't forget the parking structure and concourse along what used to be Seminary. Will you guys really pay $50 for a brick of Wrigley? I mean if I'm going to risk criminal trespassing and everything that goes with it I want to be sure your going to believe its an authentic Wrigley brick and not just something I picked up at Home Depot.
  14. UMFan83
    You did know that its really Pale Hose right? Just checking
  15. UMFan83
    Is it blocked off, or can I run over there and steal a brick?? :) Might be a nice prize to donate for the next Predictions contest
  16. UMFan83
    Knowing the Cubs, the very next news on the Marquee would say "Cubs sign Dusty for two more years!"
  17. UMFan83
    If it was a Dusty managed team, there would be a choice for "It was over 90 degrees out, and those light skinned players couldn't take the heat in a meaningless game"

    OK, I've had to think long and hard about this. It came down to "Down on the Farm", "Flash Back", "Sosa Appreciation" and "Aramis" Eliminated Down on the Farm because I figured there are members here that would like that prize a lot more then I. Eliminated Sosa Appreciation when I realized that I don't really like Sosa anymore, I still need more time to heal. Eliminated Flashback only because I chose the Aramis package, simply because winning a jersey is pretty damn cool, even if I doubt it will fit me (I'm 6'3''). So I'm choosing Aramis, and if it doesn't fit me, I'll give it away as an X-Mas gift. Thanks for this cool contest.

    I'm at work right now, I'll be home in 30 minutes to pick my prize. I think I know what I want though
  21. UMFan83
    I can't believe I won something....I remember thinking that I was being pessimistic when I made my predictions, but it turns out I was being very optimistic. Wow, thanks for making this happen, and to the people ahead of me, hurry up and choose so I can make my choice! :)

    Red Sox in 5 Angels in 5 Cards in 4 Braves in 5 Angels in 6 Cards in 5 Angels in 6

    I don't think the OBP will regress with Giles. The only thing I'd be worried about is signing him for too long. This is his big contract, I'd say he'd be looking for about 4 years if not longer. Regardless I think this is a much better buy then Damon. In fact if there is one free agent thats worth getting that could change the team, its Giles IMO
  24. UMFan83
    I love the ending to our season. Not only was this season a disaster, but we got to watch both the Cardinals and Astros celebrate clinching playoff bearths at our expense
  25. UMFan83
    Todd Walker on deck ....Aramis in the hole??? (I can dream can't i?)
