    i'm hoping for at least one wrigley PH appearance just for this

    The Cubs have not been favored in this game by Vegas. http://www.vegasinsider.com/mlb/odds/las-vegas/line-movement/dodgers-@-cubs.cfm/date/10-22-16 If you hit the matchups tab it says Cubs opened at +115 you mean -125

    well, except me and UM http://i.imgur.com/uWfH8.gif (and probably a few other delusionals)

    I say 5% because every once in a while this FO does some crazy aggressive horsefeathers when you think they might err on the side of caution. Plus he seems pretty far along in his recovery already. But the reality is it'd be really hard for him to get up to game speed (even though we do have a massive lead and a bunch of basically meaningless games coming up). Maybe I was too low. Maybe UM was right. But the bold is still exactly right.

    Going to remember this as the one time TT is wrong when he dongs in game 1 of the World Series so, yeah, uh, about that

    i just realized that unless we go up 3-0 in the world series, i will not have a single completely stress free game of baseball to watch for the remainder of 2016. i've been tense as hell, especially since tuesday.

    We started spring 2004. I did post on Cubs.com before that as sanclementefan, though. definitely started in 2003. i was here for the lee/choi trade. and a bunch of you guys signup dates are spring 03.
  12. David
    yeah and the national bandwagon seems to be as healthy as ever

    crowds were there in 03 for games 1 and 2, iirc. that said, it wouldn't shock me if there were a bunch of people out there on saturday night
  14. David
    What other reason would there be? The atmosphere, potential to get drunk and celebrate exactly

    the expansion and the boards i think have really cooled that. but, again, those people were seemingly there just to be there. Seems to me they were there to catch home runs. For free. you think that a few hundred people were there so they might get a chance to catch a home run if one went on the street?
  16. David
    Do balls just not get to the streets as often thanks to bleacher expansion? the expansion and the boards i think have really cooled that. but, again, those people were seemingly there just to be there.

    mostly the sammy stuff for me
  18. David
    anyone have any theories as to why we haven't seen the crazy crowds around wrigley that we saw in 03? it's not like those people were out on sheffield and waveland just to ballhawk, and they obviously couldn't see horsefeathers.
  19. David
    she did

    all that lingers with me from 2003 are the happy things. wood practically winning the NLDS on his own. going to game 5 in atlanta and watching them close out a series easily. the insane sammy HR off urbina in game 1. the insane game 2 and the HR sammy hit to the camera shed that lofton could not believe. the aramis grand slam. even the wood HR in game 7. i have very little pain left associated with that year. just annoyance at the bartman nonsense that always comes up. that was a lot more fun than getting my heart ripped out immediately and swiftly in 08. (and i still look back on 08 fondly - just referring to their respective playoff runs)
  21. David
    If 2003 doesn't sit burning in your memory banks, you either 1)aren't a Cubs fan 2)didn't witness it 3)aren't human 2008 sucked but comon in 2003 we rode the playoff luck wave and beat one way better team and almost beat a second better team...and it was really close so that sucked. but my expectations in 08 were way higher, and the outcome was way worse. i've always been the type anyway that would rather get to the dance and get my ass kicked than not make it at all.
  22. David
    not a single moment of that lingers with me. I think it helps in a way that Wood and Prior both died after that, because i feel so disconnected from that team at this point that i couldn't care less what happened then. I was even thinking last night that if the cubs do the remarkable and win the world series this year, ill be glad that it's this year's team that did it and not that year's team. yep. i totally agree. i think how much i hate dusty is also related.

    i had joked about bringing in some dude from the 2012-14 to sit on our bench like doug glanville in 03 or something, but she'll do too

    Let's not forget Rizzo's glenallen hill foul ball
