pound sand:r:r Glad to know someone else uses that phrase too:tu

Re: Wait 'til Next Year...Cubbies Fans Unite!
 

24 of us from work are going to the White Sox - Tigers game at Cellular on Sept. 12th.....23 Sox fans, and me. :r

Re: Wait 'til Next Year...Cubbies Fans Unite!
 

:r:r

Nice Tom! Hopefully the Sox are still within reach of the Division. If so, should be a big series. You're Chicago PD right?

Re: Wait 'til Next Year...Cubbies Fans Unite!
 

Suburbs, Nate....and I won't be crushed if the Sox aren't close. ;) :r

Re: Wait 'til Next Year...Cubbies Fans Unite!
 

I hope you dislike the Sox because you're a Tigers fan and not a Cubbies fan:tf I can deal with that:r

Re: Wait 'til Next Year...Cubbies Fans Unite!
 

I am a Tigers fan first and foremost, but I root for the White Sox when they make the playoffs and Detroit does not....I am not one of those crazy Cubs V Sox guys. But I do root for the Cubs on the National League side.

Re: Wait 'til Next Year...Cubbies Fans Unite!
 

You rooted for the White Sox in 2005?

Re: Wait 'til Next Year...Cubbies Fans Unite!
 

I did, watched every game.

Re: Wait 'til Next Year...Cubbies Fans Unite!
 

Nice. Would have never guessed. When you're at the Cell, check out Belton Bill Melton's Brats and also the Beers of the World. Meltons has the best brats and Beers of the World has great craft beer in bottles. Speaking of the suburbs, I grew up in St. Charles.

Re: Wait 'til Next Year...Cubbies Fans Unite!
 

Thanks for the tips, Nate, I will hit them both up.

St Charles is quite a ways West from me, I know that's where they have the big pipr expo every year.

Hopefully we will get a smoke in together one of these days, maybe you can hit a MoB herf.

Re: Wait 'til Next Year...Cubbies Fans Unite!
 

I need to make it up for a herf. At least the Illinois side of the border.

Re: Wait 'til Next Year...Cubbies Fans Unite!
 

Two of three on Baseball Tonight predict the White Sox to come back and win the division. Possible? Not sure with Adam Dunn on the roster, unless he goes all Dan Uggla on us all of a sudden. As a Reds fan, I still wish Dunn all the best, but I'm glad he's not with us anymore.

Re: Wait 'til Next Year...Cubbies Fans Unite!
 

Andy, Dunn has been crap all year. If he improves at all, that's good for us.

Re: Wait 'til Next Year...Cubbies Fans Unite!
 

It may sound like a crap excuse, but I blame it on the DH spot. He's used to playing the field (no matter how bad), so he comes into the game once every hour or so cold just to hit. He's always been K heavy, but he's never had this bad of an average until he assumed the DH role.

Re: Wait 'til Next Year...Cubbies Fans Unite!
 

I totally agree. I really don't have any idea of how he can break out of it though. Paul is our first base. Dunn will not start first, so I really just don't know anymore with done. Sox in general too.

Looks like this thread has moved to the South Side.:r

Re: Wait 'til Next Year...Cubbies Fans Unite!
 

I was born and raised in South Detroit. ;) :r

On the playground is where I spent most of my days...

Big Z on the DQ list for 30 days (and I ain't talking Dairy Queen here).

Will he be back?

Re: Wait 'til Next Year...Cubbies Fans Unite!
 

I think this is a great potential move. Theo Epstein has wasted enough of John Henry's money making bad deals in Boston, so can now burn up some of the Trib's surplus cash. :r

Re: Wait 'til Next Year...Cubbies Fans Unite!
 

Not like we've never made bad deals here...:rolleyes:

Re: Wait 'til Next Year...Cubbies Fans Unite!
 

S.O.R.I.A.N.O.


nuff said.

Re: Wait 'til Next Year...Cubbies Fans Unite!
 

We could go on and on and on....

Re: Wait 'til Next Year...Cubbies Fans Unite!
 

But we don't need to...as I have invoked the Soriano clause. :r

Can't be any worse than the chuckleheads that have been running the show up til now.

Re: Wait 'til Next Year...Cubbies Fans Unite!
 

As a Reds fan, I hope this doesn't happen, but if I were a Cubs fan, I'd be pretty excited. Like Whee said, it can't be any worse than what you have now.

Re: Wait 'til Next Year...Cubbies Fans Unite!
 

And so it begins....


http://news.yahoo.com/cubs-fire-mana...194103501.html

Might actually be a fairly interesting off season for the Northsiders.

Re: Wait 'til Next Year...Cubbies Fans Unite!
 

It won't matter who the manager is? Theo is a computer geek and all the moves will be generated by the computer.
Theo and his geek squad will call the shots all the manager has to do is turn in the lineup that they tell him to.

Re: Wait 'til Next Year...Cubbies Fans Unite!
 

Can't be any worse than what they have been doing lately. :2

It got the BoSox two rings as well. ;)

Re: Wait 'til Next Year...Cubbies Fans Unite!
 

Not the dreaded Cardinals!!

http://espn.go.com/mlb/story/_/id/71...rg-source-says

Article also states no Cubbies for Ryno,

Re: Wait 'til Next Year...Cubbies Fans Unite!
 

Looks like Francona is coming to the NL Central (I thought he might go to STL, but now with the firing of Quade, he's open to hook back up with Epstein)?:hm

Re: Wait 'til Next Year...Cubbies Fans Unite!
 

I was hoping they would give Ryno a chance, but I think Epstein will hire a competent manager.

Re: Wait 'til Next Year...Cubbies Fans Unite!
 

As in his "boy" Francona? This smells more and more like a set-up to me. Francona leaves first "via mutual agreement", then Epstein leaves the next week. Then Quade gets canned after only one year of experience with a bad team who has too many back-loaded contracts, bad attitudes, washed-up never was players, and only a handful of future stars/legitimate stars.

Re: Wait 'til Next Year...Cubbies Fans Unite!
 

Francona is not one of the two front runners from what the Chicago media is reporting.

Re: Wait 'til Next Year...Cubbies Fans Unite!
 

Looks like you guys got a new manager today.

Re: Wait 'til Next Year...Cubbies Fans Unite!
 

No way are the Cubs going to go another 100 years w/o a ring now!!

This could be interesting.

Re: Wait 'til Next Year...Cubbies Fans Unite!
 

Another superstar looking to put his career in the dumper? :r

Re: Wait 'til Next Year...Cubbies Fans Unite!
 

I'll be surprised if he actually signs with them.

Re: Wait 'til Next Year...Cubbies Fans Unite!
 

Carlos Zambrano is no longer a Cub!

Something that should have been done a long time ago.

Re: Wait 'til Next Year...Cubbies Fans Unite!
 

Can you say "rebuilding phase"? Cubs ain't gonna see the playoffs again anytime soon.

Re: Wait 'til Next Year...Cubbies Fans Unite!
 

Gonna be a loooooong year.



Again....:r

Re: Wait 'til Next Year...Cubbies Fans Unite!
 

Whole city is rebuilding.. Gonna be a long year in chicago:r Oh well, I look forward to the Cell anyways this summer.. I can smell the brats and onions now:D Oh and beer and cigars!

Re: Wait 'til Next Year...Cubbies Fans Unite!
 

MMMMMM, brats and cigars.....:dr

Re: Wait 'til Next Year...Cubbies Fans Unite!
 

I'll be there tailgating when the Tigers are in town, Nate, hopefully we can hook up for some cigars.

Sounds like a plan. I usually can make 6 games a season. We usually tailgate too, or hit up Cork and Kerrys before/after games.

Let's pick a night to hit a Sox - Tigers game as the season begins. :tu

Tigers are also playing a 3 game series at Wrigley in June.
