What's the haps with the cubbies?

BOTTOM LINE

Two months to go and the Cubbies are in contention----
You cannot say the same for the Sox

Interesting---why not wait until the season ends before you SOXNOLE people get on the "other" team---at least thay have a shot---do the SOX ?

Sometimes Soxnole I wonder if you are a true baseball fan---true baseball fans appreciate the teams that do well---

It's a Chicago thing TR. You are not included.

NL least fan's from the Least coast generally don't have a clue.

Go Phillies!

Soxnole,

You left out one choice.

*Don't worry, it's still early!*LOL.

I see the Cubbies have locked in Zambrano


SOXNOLE

I am a BASEBALL FAN---- and with as open mind unlike you

Gosh tr, you really have a way with words!

What an unusual occurrence today at Wrigley. Homegrown star pitcher opts to forgo free agency and re-sign with his team for 5 more years at a much lower $$ than what he'd have gotten this fall. How stupid the SF Giants must feel having forked over riduculous $$$ to Barry Zito when a 26 yr old stud signs for far less. I loved when he spoke of his 10 year relationship with Jim Hendry as being a major reason for his wanting to remain a Cub. Omar Minaya would have let Zambrano write his own check for at least 7 years if he'd come to the Mets.

I think this is a very interesting move which may give some credence to Hendry remaining with the new owners. This is an impressive signing, especially under these unusual circumstances. JMO.

Some of us have it and others don't !!!!

rosy,

Good luck with Mr. Temper Tantrum!

By the way, the cramps due to dehydration would have me worried that it's a 12 pack or worse habit this wild man has going between starts.

Sox,

Remember "Mad Magazine" and Alfred E. Newman

"what, me worry?"

If Alfred had just been elected we wouldn't be in the mess were in now!

Not a bad day for the Cubs. First an excellent bit of news with the signing of Zambrano.

Second was a much-needed win vs the Redbirds.

Like Rosy said what, me worry?

Sox, You're referring to Alfred not being named GM of your White Sox and that mess, right?

rosy,

"that mess" won a WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP.

"your mess" won't win anything beyond a very weak nl central, if that!

We'll be back in 08, meanwhile I'm still enjoying 05. 3 years is a comfortable wait.

I actually believe Alfred's been running the show on the north side behind the scene's!

91 million for the Z-man. A real good investment in a hot head who can not and will not control his emotions similar to me when someone uses the word umbrage. Z is the savior? don't bet on it. what you can bet on is a classic choke act which is just around the corner in cubdumskiville.

bergen.....GREAT POST!

my thoughts exactly!

Soxnole,

You're in good company I see. It must be that brilliant minds think alike.

We shall see what Z will bring.

Fist fights in the dug out....or shameful celebrations on the mound????


Btw rosy, I had read 1 post by Bergen, the 1 on Z..

I was not aware of the history you 2 have until just now reviewing the CABA and TT VS Bergen battles!

So Rosey, by implication, because you are a Cubs fan, you think you are smarter than me?
I know you are not smarter than me because you have certain disadvantages....such as....You are "Insane" in other words a "Cubs fan"
Are you still wearing that same aftershave, the one with a ship on the bottle?

BNC

Oh no Soxnole, don't waiver on me here, I thought I had a new friend among the dads here! Rosey wants to make me his Huckleberry, but he doesn't know yet that "Law don't go round here".

I wouldn"t exactly call it a history between us, we aren't frat brothers or fishing buddies.
