there are about 45,000 bars in Chicago. walk to one Well here's the sucky part. My Wife made plans to go see a movie with one of her friends and I'm watching my Son. So, yea, I'm f'd. Hooters is always a family friendly option I was just about to suggest that. In fact, when I used to take my daughter to Hooters, I got lots and lots of extra attention. :D Used to ??? Oh, give me a break !!

So CUB-like.

I apologize, and maybe that is what he meant, but when what I wrote is quoted and then he says what he says... it's hard for me to interpret in any other way than I did. But I post this question to all the Edmonds nay sayers. Would you rather win a World Series this year? or Make sure we don't have any former Cardinal standouts on our team? Leaving the political discussion completely aside, I don't see CUBS fans as the flip-floppers here. The only flip-flop was by Edmonds when he took off the red uniform and put on a blue one. I for one, always cheer and root for the guys in the blue uniforms. I've never wavered on that point. Given a short period for adjustment, I think nearly all CUBS fans follow the same linear logic. All that being said..... it still does feel a bit strange to cheer for Jim Edmonds.... but, whatever.

pics ?

Do we know you ? Isn't he the guy who is at fault whenever anything goes wrong? I heard a baby seal say that.

Do we know you ?

Sorry I'm late to the party again.... but the CUBS have a long history of filling their roster with players that other teams no longer want. Some on this list have been mentioned above, but my vote(s) goes to ..........

Multiple trips to Hooters can do that to you..... or so I hear. :wink:

What's the matter with you, Vance ?? You know better than to post this in game threads.... and you chide me for being old and senile. Harumph !!
