Assume that everything you read in this thread is nonsense and you'll be golden. I was so thinking this trade was done and over with. Thanks for ruining my day! :P

I used to go to get all the autographs, but the long lines and general rudeness of some people just faded by expectations away. My general fad towards autograph seeking is almost non existent now. I used to get so excited but I look at it now like WTF would I want Vance Law, Rick Wilkins, Corey Patterson, Jim Hendry, & Jeff Pico on 1 autographed ball for. I won't go for the autographs, I will go for the atmosphere, drinking with the players, and getting cool Cubs merchandise. My wife got me a Cubs seat for valentines day that had a Kerry Wood plaque on it when he struck out 20 batters. Plus where else can one get their hands on a game worn Cole Liniak jersey for $25? Or a game used Jason Dubois bat for $15? Very Nice... 2 years ago I just went to the hotel after the convention was over to hang out with Cubs players in the bar and hotel lobby. Lee Smith and Bobby Dernier are cool guys to just talk baseball with. Listening to Lee Smith talk about his pitches while sharing a Budweiser was just so cool. Mike Wuertz tried to hit on every girl there, including my sis. I talk with one of the old Cubs trainers about steroids (not on the Cubs, but just his general thoughts), why Mark prior was always injured, and what his role was for weight training, preparation, etc. Heck, I bought Larry Rothschild a beer and he declined saying he was done for the night.

Didn't see this posted, but the Bears signed Terrence Holt to play DB. They chose not to go after Ty Law. http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/football/bears/chi-081022-chicago-bears-holt-bowman,0,3028672.story

Beat LA!

This is like There Will be Blood and I am Daniel Day-Lewis and you are all my milkshake.

Slider low and away will get him out.

Will he be looking for an OF LH? Who is out there that he would target? Dunn? Burrell? I think Hendry is pretty set on the infield, I thin k he and Lou love Theriot, Fontenot & DeRosa. Lee and Aram are not going anywhere.

Sign Dunn Trade the farm for Peavy Thats all I got so far...

Why in the heck would you just want it over? Just win one game at a time. It has been done before. Exactly. Win game 3 (which we should) and you're talking about having to win 2 games over 3 days, one in L.A. one in Chicago. Neither would be poor pitching matchups. I'm as disappointed as anyone and am not overly optimistic but I sure as hell don't just want it over. Why does everyone say this? We should have won game 1 and 2 as well. There is nothing that this team is doing right now that makes me believe we should win any more games this year. Rich Harden vs. Hiroki Kuroda is a huge advantage. Ryan Dempster vs. Derek Lowe and Carlos Zambrano vs. Chad Billingsley is not. I know it's a huge advantage pitching wise but the offense isn't doing anything right now to convince me we should win any game.

Wow, that is genuinely interesting. :cry:

That's the spirit!

That was when they went like 22-6 right? That was soooooooo long ago...

WTF is big Z doing batting? Oh that's right, he's the best LH we have on the roster.
