Pick your side

Fastball Dad

Cubs all the way! No fair weather fan here! Good or Bad I'm here to stay. I won't be like those fans from the other team who all of a sudden became their biggest fans this last year. So to all of you and you know who you are and thanks for coming out of the closest and proving to us Cub fans what we already knew and that's what kind of fans you really are!

ST. LOUIS CARDINALS

2005 National League Central Division Champs
2004 National League Champions

Should I go on?

Bulldog.....when it comes to the Cardinals, people like you and CoachB can be forgiven because of your geographical situation. But the Cards are turning into post-season chokers aren't they?

At least the Cardinals have the opportunity to be Post Season Chokers instead of, like the Cubs of Chitown, regular season Jokers.

"The past is for cowards and losers." The heyday of the Cardinals is long past. We'll see what happens in '06. I'll give the Cards this much: They have the best manager if you want to be pretty good.

Have to back Bulldog here!! GO CARDS

We're talking Baseball, Baseball in St. Lou!!!!!

Go Cardinals!!!

Sorry, didn't mean to hijack your thread. FastballDad, yes, we come by it honestly. I see the Arch everyday. We are playing in Busch Stadium this year. One of only 6 teams (3 games) that get to play in the NEW BUSCH STADIUM.

Cubbies all the way in '06. Hopefully they figure out how to use Woody this year so that he throw all year. Are they still thinking about using him out of the bullpen. I think this is the way to go for him. Only problem is that he would be a highly overpaid bullpen pitcher.

I am with CoachB25, Bulldog and JustLearning...GO REDBIRDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And, as I see it, I am the northernmost fan (you can take the boy out of St. Louis, but you can't take St. Louis out of the boy). Can't wait to see the REDBIRDS in Milwaukee and at the new ballpark this summer (do you really think that I would walk into Wrigley...they play minor league ball in Kane County and Schaumburg too).

Amazing that FB cub fan even shows up with this thread around here....especially after you were so involved with jumping on the Sox band wagon in 2005.

Fastball, if your not a lawyer or shrink, you should have been....go back and read all your "I really am rooting for the Sox" BS that you posted last year. The paragraph that begins this thread truly defines your band wagon board persona!

Now....go get on board from the start with the other 5 or 6 cub fans and call Tom Tunney. He'll probably help get a "rainbow parade" going for you fellow's. I'll lend you a pink cubs hat, seeing as you have obviously been under too many tanning machines!....LOL.

NL Central...

Brewers
Cards
Astros
Pirates
Reds
Cubs

Wood and Prior miss more than half the season with injury and Dusty over-uses Zambrano so much that his arm explodes in June...

Have fun with last place Flubs fans...

Hey Bulldog 19, I don't know about you but I really enjoyed watching Boston sweeeeeeeeep the Cardinals in 2004. The Cardinals are a very good team from April to September. After that they simply choke.

Hey Blazer, you almost made me choke reading your predictions. The Brewers winning a division. That organization should have moved somewhere warm and better years ago. When was the last time the Brewers made the playoffs?

White Sox again in 2006.

Deal with it.

white sox

White Sox now, White Sox forever! Just saying it makes me emotional. C'mon everybody, say it with me...WHITE SOX - WHITE SOX! There, don't all of you feel better now? I do.

Come on Soxnole...you know I was only kidding with you.

And Tom Tunney seems like a very nice guy. Extremely nice. I have no idea what youa re talking about with the rainbows.....please explain.

And no I'm not a lawyer or a shrink, but by the end of the regular season last year a shrink could have made a mint off of Sox fans jumping out the windows.

Those were cub fans hoping.

Sox fans knew (as I did, and posted accordingly) that it was about the Indians making it a race, not the World Champs folding.

Simply put....I TOLD YOU SO!

And you Soxnole, Mr. OPRF, Mr. Seminoles, did in fact tell me so. Not many others.

Chicago White Sox!

Ain't Kenny Williams great?

Yes, Just ask him!

I was listening to the radio and Kenny Williams was being interviewed. It went something like this:

Radio Guy: You had a great season Kenny. Tell us how you did it.

KW: I think it is important....uh..by the way did I tell you that I'm an intelligent man? Well, it's important....even paramount, you know I'm smarter than you are, right? Now I must tell you that we have to be cognizant of the facts. And the facts are ....well not to be reduntant that the level of my intelligence requires me....no ...even more ...makes it of utmost importance that I tell you again that my genius...no, that's too strong...my....well it is genius allowed me to make the extremely difficult choices...I mean who besides me know that Bobby Jenks was so good? When you are in my position, you must understand that careful, insightful management instills in the players a level of understanding that while not on my level, allows them to perform as they did. Now mind you, Ozzie had something to do with it, but nonetheless even though the fans may not have understood me until we won, you have to understand that the fans will not and may not understand my genius...no maybe not genius...well I suppose there is no other word..it is genius. I told Frank when I played with him that some day he would answer to me because I knew he didn't deserve all that attention because it was me who was the more intelligent man. Thanks....winning the World Series was truly a team effort, but I can honestly say that it was my plan all along.

2005 World Champion Chicago White Sox

Now with that being said I only have one question for you Cub fans. Who will start the first simulated game this year, Wood or Prior?

I realize that Kenny makes you fellow's nervous and you are more comfortable with Mr. Secrets over in Mr. Tunney's neighborhood....but with regard to performance? Kenny get's very high marks in as competitive an environment as there is in a very tiny good ol boys neighborhood.

That said,he is,like Frank, very high strung and immature compared to his contemporaries. The "idiot" comment has made him look like Frank has the best of him....and Frank handled the last word with aplomb.

Bottom line is that based on value to and his place in the organization, alone, Frank does not deserve the girlish BS so long after it was dead and buried. I hope we win in 2006 but I hope Frank has success as well.
