  1. I would plegde enough money to buy 10 shares if other members were willing to participate in an endeavor. It would actually help the site in many different ways, aside from just giving us a voice as shareholders. We could all be guaranteed Premium membership for a period of time, Tim could possibly expand the site, etc. I'd kick in something...maybe a share or two. It would be an interesting experiment in fan partcipation, as well as an attempt to legitimize what is otherwise random complaining. Any dividends from the investment could be reinvested in NSBB....(Speaking of which...if Tim ever wants to encorporate NSBB, I'd be interested in becoming an investor...It'll be interesting to see where this sight goes in the next 5-10 years)...
  2. I love it...although I think it might take a substantial increase in premium fees.
  3. You're right. It won't accomplish anything. Here's a better idea then some petition campaign...by the way, has a manager or coach ever been fired because of a petition? I digress. Here's a better answer, buy stock in the Tribune Co. They're more likely to listen to stockholders than anonymous people who surf on the net. Do you guys really think Hendry and MacPhail haven't heard the, "Fire Dusty" song and dance from talk-shows, letters, e-mail, or just walking in and out of Wrigley? Interesting Idea. http://moneycentral.msn.com/detail/stock_quote?Symbol=TRB This is a link to the current Tribune Co. Stock price. I think it would be interesting if Tim could buy some stock, maybe as little as a share or two, with NSBB funds, in the name of NSBB...He could either incorporate NSBB and get funds from his group of investors (us) or he could take enough $ from premium memberships each month to buy one share or so in his own name and start accumulating them...each year we could then send an NSBB member to the sharholder meetings....the possiblities are endless.
  4. Here is an additional candidate. Davey Johnson.
  5. I'm not sure if there is a thread out there that puts all these in one spot... Since we all agree Dusty needs to go...Who is the best guy to replace them.....why do you want them... I think I'd like Girardi, I'd be happy with Leland...heck, Sutcliffe, Stone, or even Mark Grace might be interesting choices....thoughts.
  6. I think I'll be watching the Bears-Dolphins HOF game at 7PM. You know its bad when the season has come to preferring to watch pre-season football instead of the Cubs. How can Dusty be so incompetent? I full expect to see Macias, Perez and Hollandsworth in this game before Cedeno or Murton. Its always good to go with what you know...we know these guys won't get the job done....no reason to risk it with the young guys.
  7. I think they had planned on him sitting today and starting tommorow. They don't want to push him too much too soon. For what it's worth, Dusty also said, during the pregame, that Nomar is available later in the game. But only to pinch hit for A-Ram or something smart like that..
  8. So is Nomar just too exhausted from his one start that he has to sit out today? This will really help him get back his swing.
  9. Ok...NOW I'm upset...First the Cubs aren't on Fox because I live in STL...that I can deal with...what stinks is that they aren't on MLBTV because they are being broadcast Nationaly...incredible. Well...at least I don't have to watch them suck today.
  10. If by rampage you mean 3 game win streak followed by 2 game losing streak, followed by 3 game win streak, followed by 4 game losing streak...then yes...we are Ready to RAMPAGE!!
  11. Makes me remember why I love baseball soo much.
  12. Any chance we could return the insults to the actual title of the game threads...that seemed to work better that what we're currently trying.
  13. Dusty: "Damn...this is one fine toothpick..you know...I like toothpicks...and Macias...I like him too...I think I'll call him toothpick...dude...that is good stuff...what's Larry doing out on the mound?"
  14. How many runs or stupid outs have we given away on the basebaths this year? It has to be 50...
  15. The Cubs will get to Myers again. He can be had... You mean...he can be had by a normal hitting team.... Glad Prior went right out and shut them down. :x
  16. Anyone think we should pinch hit for Prior cause this is the last scoring opportunity we'll have today?
  17. I can't believe I'm saying this...But.... go cards!?!
  18. Yeah...it was more just to ensure that A-Ram didn't hurt himself...that is the absolute LAST thing we need.
  19. Can't believe I'm saying this...but...with a lead...and Rammy limping like that...should we bring in a pinch runner...to try and score(ok...so we won't score)...and to also keep from hurting Rammy more?
  20. :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: Wow. So I guess you're saying pitching really does matter....
  21. I wonder if the "Who made it through waivers?" is a question our good friend Mr. Miles might have an inside track on??
  22. I know it was the bottom of the order...but this is at least the 3rd day in a row which we've had a man on 3rd, less than 2 outs...and didn't get him home.
  23. Yeah...but the front page of Fox Sports.com had me scared....Big picture of Kerry with the headline "Trade WOOD Work"
