    Please, please try not to be absurd. I appreciate the sentiments wolf, but I came into this season doubting that. How are we so amazingly talented? Just because every TV baseball person says it doesn't mean its true. Yeah I'm not getting it either. We have some good players and some really bad ones too. I never agreed with the predictions being heaped on us from the beginning. We've always had a very solid chance of being unseated by the Brewers. That was true until the final couple days of last season, and it remains true now. It should be decent ballclub. I don't see greatness here, on the whole.

    Thanks Cubs. Now I have to listen to Crew fans yukking it up all the damn time. Wonderful. :mad:

    So Theriot hits better than Soriano. Niiiiiice.
  4. Soul
    Nah. We haven't gotten 8 games down in the standings yet.
  5. Soul
    Good job, COBS.

    Because we are the Cubs. There is no why, no how. Things just happen. It's a mystery. Wrapped inside an enigma. It's the Cubs.

    We're panicking about everything. Pay attention :P

    Cubs. Only the Cubs.

    Beware the AAA guy who has a good September. It should be emblazoned on every Stadium's scoreboard.

    Alright Cubs, you're starting to freak me out a little with the typical Cub crap again. Supposed to be moving past all that, remember?

    Just wanted to point out what a terrible spring Lee had.

    I highly recommend we stop sucking.

    We're fighting the Giants for offensive futility. Houston has 1 run in 18 innings. Against Petco and Peavy/Young. We've gotten shut down by Sheets, Mota, Riske, Torres and Suppan Is it really surprising though? I thought we'd all be used to this by now. It's the yearly freak out. The annual emotional rollercoaster. It never gets old, and it never ends. Welcome to the circus.

    I was really hoping Lou would see the error of his ways after Monday. Theriot-Soriano 1-2 is [expletive]. ](*,) He won't after just one game. Not sure how long Lou will ride it if it's not producing results, but I do expect he will make the change, unlike some other managers we've had.

    My memory might be aging, but 100% without a doubt the Comedy channel has about five minutes of commercials in between mediocre stand-up. Only way to get a true kick was recording it and skipping through commercials afterwards - which killed whatever true value my Inno had. Ah yes, I was just thinking of the music stations. The uncensored comedy station does play 60-90 second commercial breaks occasionally. So you're paying an access fee to listen to commercials. No thanks. Didn't XM put out a slew of ads claiming "commercial free" programming? Liars.

    Yeap. I can't wait to see this ragtag OLine and horrible receivers take the field and then hear fellow Bear fans: "Grossman sucks!" :banghead:

    It's amazing how the entire Wrigley thing has escalated. I remember going to Cubs games with my Dad and half the ballpark was empty........on the weekend, no less. It all changed in 1984. Not really. It was really easy to get face value tickets from 85-98. By the end of 98, tickets were hard to get. 98 changed everything. The disaster of 99/00 eased some of the demand, but by then people were hooked and preseason sellouts were the norm. 2003 solidified it and now it'll take a lot to deflate that demand. Well it changed everything for me as a Cub fan. In '84, I went from being a Cub fan resigned to just watching a loser forever, to a Cub fan who was going to get his head chopped off the block actually hoping for a winner. It became a much more tragic, highly-charged experience.

    I was suprised to find it's on the river when I google mapped it. This is going to be a lot of fun :) Especially since the Saturday game I get to sit row 1 seat 1 right behind home plate.

    True, I need to break down and get a DVR. I really hate watching sports that aren't live though, especially when I already know the outcome (which I most certainly would with any Cub game).

    I honestly don't remember.

    Sadly, I just use Gameday which sucks. And not only that, but the Gameday application starts to freak my computer out after awhile. The fan starts winding up, processor usage starts to peak. I have to eventually kill the web page and re-open it. Again: sucks.

    hundreds, though generally they don't offer single tickets. the cost is in the thousands to rent the rooftop for one game It typically rented out to Corps. at around 120 a head. You figure they can typically squeeze about 75 (guessing) people on average, you're talking about 10 grand a game. yup, sometimes more. So you're talking about $800,000 per rooftop per season, not including what they make off off of food. I'm sure multiple rooftops are owned by the same people Do they own/sublet the apartments too? Or are those things gutted out and just used for entertaining fans?
