    Do they post the autograph schedule online somewhere? I just got passes today (not staying at the hotel, no $$) and am going tomorrow, but I want to know whos going to be where. It would suck to go all the way downtown tonight to get the schedule. To anyone that is going, good luck with the autogrpah hunt. Thats pretty much how all the autographs are gonna come by. Hunt and luck and waiting in lines forever.

    After what the Cards gave up to get Mulder, It would suck to lose him like that. Marquis is a bit over rated IMO, I say try to resign Mulder. If Wainwright and Reyes both pan out (big ifs at this early of a stage), then at least they have two decent to good startes in the rotation. Spend the big money on hitter since who knows who Rolen will hold up and how the OF situation will look like. When is Edmonds contract up?

    I drive a 2006 Ford Escape Sport XLT. I love the V6 in it. I also owend a (its ok to laugh, I do!) 01 Daewoo Lanos 1993 Pontiac Gran Am GT 1988 Pontiac Bonneville Didnt Gm use Daewoo part for the new Suzuki's? I know GM bought out Daewoo of American but that is all I heard about it. I thought I read somewhere that Suzuki is using Daewoo plants and some parts. THe new Suzuki's look an awfully like a Daewoo.

    I got an autographed Patterson Jersey I could offer ya :wink: I got a Patterson All Star 2003 jersey as well. Can we hope that Eric comes up to the bigs and takes Corey's number? That would save me some money. lol!
  7. Burtonbell
    Changing the sig now... Good luck Corey, hope you do well. I know I will miss ya. Could you please torment the White Sox for the next 10 some odd years now?
  8. Burtonbell
    Thanks Bruce, any insight to know who the O's might be giving up? Anyone want an autographed offical Patterson jersey? LOL

    I've never heard this. Maybe you're confusing him with Jodie Dallas. Not to hijack the thread, but at the last couple Conventions I went to Jody seemed to be the ladies man.

    I've attended 40+ games a season since the 2000 season and the only place in the park where I've gotten this feeling is the CF bleachers. I have no idea how you'd even measure a person's "fan-ness", but Wrigley crowds are almost always loud and they react to the game. I think you're perpetuating a tired and inaccurate stereotype. I have to agree with 1908 on this one. As someone who averages 20 plus home games a year for the past 5 years, plus 4-5 road games a year (St Louis, Milwaukee, Cincy, etc.) I have to say the fan base is strong everywhere I go. I even went to Fenway to see a Red Sox/D-Rays game in 04 and I wasnt the only one wearing Cubs gear. I think the trendy fans are plentiful, but I ignore them. Its easy when I am talking with serious fans all around me who knew that Leon Durham pulled a Buckner, we traded for Sandberg, Ty Griffin was our Frank Thomas, and so on. Those fans are in the majority, no matter where I sit; and I have sat everywhere. Box seats, bleachers, upper deck, skybox, bullpen, behind the pole, under the scoredboard, etc. I can honestly say that the only place where "un-intelligent" conversation takes place is on the rooftops.

    As mentioned, I think the only thing you can use to question his durability is the injury that caused him to miss time at the beginning of 2004. Considering that it hasn't flared up again, I don't view it as something that will be a recurring problem. The Giles collision and the line drive could have happened to anyone. I can't question his durability for missing time when a baserunner ran into him at full speed and when a line drive hit him squarely on the elbow. To be honest, I think it's a testament to his durability that he was able to come back from the line drive as quickly as he did. If I could fit all of that in my sig, I would. Who is it that has the Prior is not a injury risk in their sig?
  12. Burtonbell
    Mr Hendry, I heard Enrique Wilson and Mickey Morandini might be available. Any chance we see those great guys who can catch the ball get signed than that bum who is currently our 3rd best hitter Todd Walker?
  13. Burtonbell
    Fixed that for ya!

    The "improved" lineup next year then? Pierre Jones/Grissom Lee Aram Walker Barrett Murton Neifi/Cedeno Is Walker stil on the team? :roll:
  15. Burtonbell
    It makes sense, but will it make the team better? And the question then becomes will Dusty actually play Murton even if Grissom is brought in to platoon with Jones? We all saw how the "platoon" of Neifi/Cendeno went last season. What a shame this is all becomming.
  16. Burtonbell
    Prior for anyone not named Pujols is even worse.
  17. Burtonbell
    I actually voted yes, but then realized I wasnt in the right poll. So the YES is me, but not because I want him in. Just thought I would clear that up.
  18. Burtonbell
    40 pages later and this trade still doesnt make any sense. Bedard is not even worth Hill IMO. Hendry is overpaying to get Tejada. I think a better idea is to keep Prior and use Williams or Hill to get a bat. Dont know what bat that would be. Hey I sound like a GM! Bart no like. Bad medicine.
  19. Burtonbell
    I guess I better go to mlb.com and get that Prior Oriole jersey huh? This is without a doubt the worst thing that could possibly happen to this franchise. IMO of course. I am glad the Bears are doing good.

    Carrie, Why havent the Cubs traded Prior for Tehada yet? Prior is always hurt, and he hasn't had a great season since '03. Do you think we need to throw in Wood to get the deal done? Edward K., Indianapolis

    Dont kill the messanger... JONES to Cubs
  23. Burtonbell
    So who is going to be taking the blame when this team tanks mid season? What possible excuses are we going to hear? "He just didnt pan out for us." "The ivy wasn't green enough." "We really needed some more starting pitchers." "Dude, like I totally miss Macias." "Neifi is clutch dude, thats why he has batted second all year." "We tried to work out some deals, but they fell through." "There is no way we were going to give up Hill for Dunn."
