QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jan 12, 2017 -> 01:20 PM) So confession time. Today is day 52 of my sobriety. Some random combination of an always-brewing controlled alcoholism plus lots of nights where wife and kid were in bed nice and early had me drinking like a mad man. I came to a point where it just had to stop yay those days ago, and needless to say life is pretty good. Anyone else out there ever struggle with booze? I just always wanted 10 after I had one and kept finding reasons to have that one which led to the 10 and so on. While I was a high-performing gentleman prior to quitting drinking, I think I'm only now starting to realize the very real benefits of not drinking the massive amount of booze I was consuming on a most-of-the-time nightly basis. I'm pretty stoked. Anyway, likely TMI for an internet message board, but y'all's my peeps! Congrats my friend! Been 13 years for me.

4-8 more inches of snow this weekend? This is going to become a regular thing?

f***. Looks like we are getting bombed this weekend with snow. 6-10 inches in the burbs.

All this makes me so happy. Lighting in a bottle days are finally over. Took long enough.

I went to Dick's Sporting Goods to try to find some sox stuff. Not one item. Depressing.

I don't get this financial stuff. You're saying it's going to bite them in the ass eventually?

QUOTE (juddling @ Nov 4, 2016 -> 04:21 PM) Dear God....enough with all the over-the-top hyperbole about the whole thing. A rain delay isn't 'tears from heaven'.....it's a f***ing rain shower...same one that passed through chicago the day before Now I'm seeing pics from parade of a couple Cubs players....of course the sun shining down on them is "from the heavens' GMAFB HAHAHA. I have iced tea all over my shirt now.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Nov 4, 2016 -> 03:26 PM) Good luck! Thanks!

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Nov 4, 2016 -> 03:11 PM) That may or may not happen. I think the point is that casual fans across the country will not automatically root for them going forward as there is nothing special about them anymore. What he said.

My nicotrol inhaler prescription is ready. Quitting vaping on Monday. I will be such a crab.

I think the Cubs fall from national grace will be similar to the Red Sox after 2004.

Lady at work took a half day off to see the parade. She just ran though the office screaming go cubs go. She scared the crap out of me.

A great world series ending to me was 1993 when Joe Carter hit that homer off of wild thing. I will never forget that.

Its all my fault guys. My salty ways pissed him off. Its all in fun. I just report what cubs fans have been saying to me since the playoffs started.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Nov 4, 2016 -> 09:31 AM) The Cubs fan knuckleheads are out if full force. I wish I had the ability to hack into the sound system at Grant Park. I would start the festivities with Lee Elia's 1983 tirade against Cubs fans. 85% of the people work, the other 15% come out here, it's a playground for those c-suckers. I would play "smack my b**** up" when chapman takes the stage.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Nov 4, 2016 -> 08:58 AM) Too many f***ing people lol and when the train arrived downtown, people started singing "Go Cubs Go" or yelling "Let's go Cubs." I turned my iPod up even louder lol I would have done Uber. Talk around here at work this morning is, REPEAT NEXT YEAR!!!! And the talk changed from Braves run to we are the 90's Bulls! That is your morning update from Mr. Salty. Haha

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Nov 4, 2016 -> 08:51 AM) The train ride to the city for work was not fun. Tell us more...

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Nov 3, 2016 -> 03:18 PM) JR didn't fire him. Harry left on his own. He said because he didn't want to be on pay TV, but many speculate it was because Jimmy Piersall was out. Jimmy Piersall the guy who called players' wives horny broads, so he got canned. I liked Jimmy, but he got what was coming to him. I also enjoyed Harry, but he was a big phony as well. How is Harry a phony? I am curious.
