Thanks- I am just hoping that I will get to catch at least SOME of the games. But I am currently working a night shift, and it is 8 hours ahead here in this...
Well Kids, just checked the forecast for Chicago this weekend and guess what? Highs in the 80's and Sunny on Saturday and 50% chance of rain on Sunday. Now if...
... NE winds would be blowing IN from CF..... A NE wind at Wrigley would be a pitcher's dream and a hitter's nightmare. ... From: Conj <conj98@...> To:...
Just getting carried away and dreaming a bit here, but..... Can you imagine the network ratings for a Cub/Yankee or Cub/Red Sox WS?? I think the world would...
Geo, Good to hear you're doing ok and also good to read a post from you again. Hope you're back to the states in a short while. Dorothy [Non-text portions of...
The Cubs are the answer to World Peace. I've known that for a long time. ... From: Scott Rendler <itzscott1@...> To: DiehardCubsFans@yahoogroups.com ...
A light rain drizzled down on Chicago for several hours Monday morning, but that could not stop thousands of Cubs fans from celebrating the team's National...
2007 Cubs team better top to bottom than '03. Better tactical and strategic manager and coaching staff. Better bullpen; one through seven.... Below starters...
Hey George...and everyone else. I haven't been on this site for a while. Anyway, I'm chiming in late. A lot of us thought we'd have a chance to be right...
This might be a dumb question, but, did anyone in this group attend? ... From: Rick <rmead_98@...> To: DiehardCubsFans@yahoogroups.com Sent: Monday,...
ABSOLUTELY! :) :) :) ... championship. ... noon ... of ... pennant. ... success ... the ... to ... Hills. ... of ... much ... he ... Daley, ... in ... This ......
I hope you are right, but am not nearly as confident against the Dbacks. They have no real stars, however they seem to make plays when they need em. They...
Rockies win - Giles' throw home bounced in front of catcher Michael Barrett, who couldn't hold on as Holliday swiped the plate, then lay face-down after ...
Nat, what has post season baseball taught you? apparently nothing! I completely agree with your evaluation on the stats, but post season is so different. We...
Sounds familiar. Some things never change. This has been a nightmare season for Barrett. They should put the guy on suicide watch. ... From: S. MacKinney...
I'm with ya Nat.... I get a little scared about teams like the Dbacks. They tend to be young and overlooked, yet somehow they managed to have the best record...
Let me live vicariously through you guys...How was it? Any pictures to post? C'mon, I'm having to live with the "Beast of the East" Phillies coverage here....
Arizona scares me the same way Florida did back in '03. So-so stats, ok pitching ... yet they find a way to scratch, claw, create runs and win. A big factor...
Thing is I still like Barrett and his love for the game. Too bad his defense sucks, then again can it be any worse than Kendall's? I hope that Lou keeps...
As far as the networks are concerned, all that matters is if the east coast teams make it to the world series. If it comes down to a Cleveland/Colorado, Los...
I think it is time for all Cub Fans to get carried Scott. As to any match ups, we will need to get past each team we meet to worry about who in the American...
True, but the Cubs would add significantly to any ratings because of their history and fan base. A Boston/Colorado world series isn't nearly as enticing as...
... I think the Cubs stand out because they are a curiosity in that it's been 100 years already. My, how time flies when you're having fun! It seems to me that...
... Well, maybe the network gurus can lean on Selig to maybe lean on the umps to give us a few borderline calls now & then to maybe give it a better chance of...
Ha! I like it. After 99 years, I'll take all the help we can get. ... record breaking ratings. << ... the umps to give us a few borderline calls now & then...
I agree- the Cubs are a big draw. And with the potential of breaking he 99 year drought, people will really be tuning in. And remember too- after WGN went on...
