  1. I'm pretty sure that play is part of the Cardinal Way or some of their book of rules or something....
  2. I've only made on trip to Chicago for Cubs Convention. I think it was 2006 or 2007. Frankly, I can't remember. But Fred and I went to all the sessions together. One really neat story, was Fred as we know was a big Santo fan. It always pissed Fred off that they made Santo wait so long to get in the Hall. Anyway, one game I went with Fred and we sat in the uppper deck. Stairs and Fred never got along, so we were waiting to take the elevator. It was almost our turn when security stopped us because they were holding the elevator for Santo. Well, when Santo got on and saw us waiting he said arent you going down too? So he made security let us on and Fred and I had a short conversation with him. Fred enjoyed that.
  3. I wish I could. I will stop and say a prayer for his family during that time. Please pass along my condolences to the family.
  4. Greetings from beautiful Monroe, LA !! Go CUBS ! !
  5. I'm still in shock over this. Fred was one of the many Cub fans I met through this board and we developed quite a friendship. After a trip to Chicago in 2005, I never attended a Cubs game in Chicago where Fred wasn't there for at least one of the games. If I gave him enough warning, he would arrange his schedule to be in town if I was coming. We explored the city together. If he trucked his way through Monroe, he would stop and I would take him to my house where we might watch football or then take him to our local eateries. He watched the game with me in Texas as we saw Sosa, then a Ranger, hit his 600th homerun. It was always a random moment when my phone would ring and he would call. Addie even called him Uncle Fred. A few years ago, she asked me was he really her uncle. I will remember our late night talks. Cubs games could end at 4, but we would sit somewhere and eat and talk for hours. It had been awhile since I heard from him, but I was hoping to see him soon. I'm going to miss him. RIP Good Friend.

  7. I'm sorry I don't feel bad for Tunsil. It sucks and surely it was done by some horrible individual, but he's still got a chance to earn a lot of money playing a game. I felt a lot more sympathy for La'el Collins last year who went undrafted due to nothing he did.
  8. This is a tough pick for the Cowboys. With the suspension of Lawrence the Cowboys are in dire need of a pass rusher and cannot go wrong with Bosa. However, I think Jalen Ramsey is the top player on their board. Do they go with need and take Bosa or go for BPA and take Ramsey. I'm going with the BPA and Cowboys select Jalen Ramsey, CB FSU.
  9. We keep playing like this, MLB is gonna institute a mercy rule.
  10. This team is so good, we won't need help at the deadline.
  11. "It's the Rams, dude."

  13. Sorry, I'm at Disney with the family. I do not think the Cowboys take a QB here, at least I would not. I'm not sold on the QB's in this draft, though that is a popular mock here. Had Ramsey been available, he would have been my pick for the Cowboys, and I would not be surprised to see him wearing the star. That being said, I think the pick comes down to Joey Bosa, Miles Jack, or Deforest Buckner. I'm tempted to pick Jack here, and I'm not sure Buckner is a scheme fit, so I'm going with my second highest player on my board (I have Ramsey as the best player in this draft) and select Joey Bosa, DE Ohio State.
  14. I vote Gleybar.
