You guys are awesome!
-
Mucho gracias. If everyone who visits this site this week sent one, I think we'd win hands down. We'll see how it goes. I just voted half a dozen times..... btw, that's muchas gracias. Fred, I expect you to vote for as many times as years you've been a Cub fan. :D

The Rangers bought the name of their stadium back from Ameriquest. Ameriquest Field is now Rangers Ballpark in Arlington. Link.

QFT

Barmes may not be a bad option, but I wonder what the Rockies would want for him. If he could be had for a Novoa type bullpen arm, it's worth doing.

The thread wasn't enough for you? Nope. Like a true politician, I look for all avenues to get my message across. Gotta applaud the effort. I thought we had it last year. I think they DQ'ed some votes that they thought were suspicious. This year, I have a lot less time to get it done. But that could also work in my favor.

Thank you very much! :D
-
Excellente! I have several friends in the Monroe/West Monroe area that are White Sox fans, so maybe this will piss them off! Ha ha! If you have any that are Cub fans, send them the link to the letter. If they fill it out and email it to me, I'll take care of the postage.

Excellente!

While you are all watching the game, please send an email to sports@thenewsstar.com and vote the Cubs as your home team.
-
No, I don't think they will send replies. At least they didn't last year. I appreciate the votes. We'll see what happens this year.
-
Thank-you very much!
-
It would be if we weren't in the midst of state standardized testing week. Because of that, most of the day is spent in testing. And does your response mean I can count on you for a vote? You got it. Very nice! Make this a Chicago tradition. Vote early. Vote often!

Yes. And they also quoted me a few times with bogus names as well. And you've already sent your vote, right?
-
I think they threw out some of my suspicious emails last year. Unlike the AS vote, I actually have to be able to access the email addresses to vote with them. With the AS vote, I just used emails from my spam box since I didn't have to actually send anything from them. And I can count on you sending a vote in a few minutes, right?

I can't wait until premium is back up. I feel like I'm slumming. :lol:

That's right. It's that time. Last year, we were screwed out by the Astros. The won by a mere 17 votes. Let's not let it happen this year! As many of you know, my crappy local paper lets readers choose the "home team" for baseball coverage through an email and letter writing campaign. To vote, all you have to do is send an email to sports@thenewsstar.com and state that you'd like to vote for the Cubs as Northeast Louisiana's home team. I think they are trying to thwart my efforts this year after we came so close last year. First, voting ends Friday. Last year, there were at least 2 weeks of voting. Secondly, the announcement of the contest has only appeared in the print editions. So, please...send a vote (or many) to sports@thenewsstar.com Or you can send a fax to: 318-362-0279. Also, if you are in the Monroe area and want to mail in a vote----the Astros beat us by having many letters sent in, you can dowload a form letter I typed here. Send those to: Your Home Team, 411 N. Fourth St., Monroe, LA, 71201. Thanks everyone! If we get 500 votes, we win in a landslide.

Ozzie Guillen talks about Lou, Jim Leyland...

Ah, here it is... Love Simmons or hate him, you have to admit that's pretty good! -
I don't have a problem letting a young pitcher break in with a bullpen role.
-
It means Lou has realized Cotts sucks.
-
Link. And then about Guzman in the pen...

I think USAToday carries spring stats.
