QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Oct 29, 2016 -> 11:02 PM) Whatever. Win a home game. That's all the best team in baseball by far has to do. Get it back to Cleveland and it will be like when the Aliens stole noot and sigorney weaver went HAM on that ass. Just watch, folks. No, I don't want it to happen. But the Cubs will win a a WS. and it's gonna happen this year. Yeah, the Cubs have the Tribe exactly where they want him. no way they will lose with Lester, Arrietta, and Hendricks pitching, even if they lost 2 of the 3 games they have pitched so far. You must be as drunk as those people at Waveland and Sheffield.

Somebody needs to tell the drunk Cubs fans by the Fox set that they lost and are down 3-1.

Francona can manage differently in the playoffs never having to play more than 3 days in a row. With Miller, like the 2005 White Sox, they have the lead in the 5th, the game is basically over

Cocaine was big in the 80s and early 90s. It seems to be making a comeback. Non crack that is.

The problem with bringing Avi to spring training is can you really trust he is "fixed" if he lights up pitchers working on getting ready for the season? I think he is a non tender almost for sure. Maybe they bring him back for a lower figure.

These emails have most probably already have been examined from the other end. I did hear an African American in the gym today on his phone saying he would now not vote for Hillary. But I can understand. According to some tracker, there is some sort of falsehood in 27% of what Hillary claims. Of course Bernie Sanders was at 28%, and Trump, the guy who accuses everyone of lying lies 71% of the time.

QUOTE (whitesoxjr27 @ Oct 29, 2016 -> 08:10 AM) I was invited to a bbq/cubs party tonight at my condo near Belmont and Sheffield. He has a roof deck where you can see Wrigley Field. Not sure if I want to deal with that tonight. Kluber pitching for a 3-1 lead. Cubs fans on a roof. Not a good mix. I think I would pass.

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Oct 28, 2016 -> 10:51 PM) Heh what happened? They went to the Fox post game show and the Cubs fans were going nuts around the set like they just won.

Trump is right, the election is rigged. They just busted a woman in Iowa for voting twice. She is a Teump supporter and voted twice because she knew her first vote was going to be changed to Hillary.

Apparently Cubs fans are so drunk they didn't realize Cleveland won.

QUOTE (bmags @ Oct 28, 2016 -> 04:12 PM) YEah Tilson was who I was asking about. I think it was a torn hammy.

QUOTE (bmags @ Oct 28, 2016 -> 04:01 PM) Not gonna lie, I kinda checked out around this time. Did he go down with a hammy or knee injury? I think he meant Tilson's injury. Liriano took one to the face and missed the 2016 season. He is a lottery ticket. Probably will never make the team.

He left the top prospects lists about the same time as Mike Olt. Horrific injury.

So let me get this straight, Trump says his being recorded on the bus was certainly illegal and he may sue (what new), yet praises wiki leaks for hacking private emails. As KW said about the Big Hurt, "the man is an idiot."

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Oct 28, 2016 -> 12:31 PM) Ya, a bunch of my buddies went to Sheffield's I guess, started waiting in line at 9 am. No cover though. Some places are only charging $75 to get in, but you don't get a seat.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Oct 28, 2016 -> 12:26 PM) Anyone brave/rich enough to do the Wrigley bar scene today? Supposedly people were lined up at 4 am. Insane. Throw a party. It will be better and cheaper.

It was fun watching Schwarber play the OF last year.

My dad was a little kid in 1945, and his cousin had just returned from the war and was visiting. His cousin took him to the WS at Wrigley. The bought tickets at the box office the day of the game. My dad has the trifecta, attended WS games at Wrigley, Comiskey, and USCF. I wonder how many people can say that right now.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 27, 2016 -> 08:07 PM) I keep seeing this, but ratings for all pro sports are way down in the last decade. Yes, but this is just local and it is the Cubs. You know all those Cubs fans who never even think about the White Sox.

Interesting. The white Sox out rated the Cubs in WS game 2 http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/baseb...1027-story.html

QUOTE (maxjusttyped @ Oct 27, 2016 -> 01:08 PM) It certainly would be if you completely ignore how the rest of their team is built. Every team that's willing to spend at that level is going to make a few mistakes. How much did they blow on Edwin Jackson? It helps when you lose 96 games and 3 million people still show up.

QUOTE (Carpe Diem @ Oct 26, 2016 -> 07:14 PM) Whoever is the next owner of the White Sox will likely have a wealth of at least $5 billion. If they truly wanted they could buy Lakefront property and foot the $750 mil stadium. I know a lot of arrogant and snobbish economists will say that is stupid, but you know what their reward will be? A highly highly respected legacy throughout Chicago-land that will last forever. We need an owner who is a fan first, businessman second. No,they couldn't. You cannot buy lakefront property in Chicago. And you can't have a stadium that faces slightly west.

Game 2 in 2005 was cold and wet, but it felt like 70 degrees in the stands. Greatest game I ever attended.

I read where the Cubby Bear is charging a $100 cover charge. Barley own and Dueces are charging $250 which includes drinks during the game and entre and an app. Are people really falling for this?

Teams that lost the first game of the WS have lost 12 of the last 13, and 17 of the last 19. In 7 game playoff series, the Cubs are 0-9 when they lose the first game. Hopefully things will continue.
