Go CUBS !!

If I were at the game and caught his home run ball..... I'd have to consider throwing it back.

Wood in the booth??! Did Kelly Pickler come up there again? Vance needs to get back to school - this summer break stuff is really giving him too much time on his hands He's got way too much time on his hands when school is in session !!!

I'd much preferf to see him do it on Friday vs. the Astros !!

wifi at the ballpark? Not sure if it's the whole ballpark.... but there is free wi-fi in the Rawlings Lounge. Memo from Vance: Get yer ass over here, I still got 1 ticket left !!!

Hornkohl and Vance are in the Ballpark at Arlington. The restaurant here is filled with CUBS fans !!!

Thanx for those kind words, but I just kind of took it upon myself to spot start for Jazz, who is currently among the missing. I certainly hope he will be on the spot to start tomorrow's game thread..... and many more !!!

Yeah.... you've always been an undisciplined sort. :wink:

Are you going to any of these games? He's on his way to the game, even as we speak !!
