The Grinder

Since I live well outside Metro Chicago, I assume the cubs are still numb 1 albeit waning a bit? Here in NW Illinois, cub fans are a dime a dozen reminding me of cockroaches, step on one and another scurries out from the floor I beleive if the Sox could put a string of WS wins, all this talk of cub town would be severely damaged. But to give the devil his due, the current cub ownership has strung together a series of winning seasons and playoff appearances that have me a tad envious

Thanks for the info, like I replied, better to someone, better 15K real fans than 41K tourists

Without looking, is Wrigley capacity about the same as ours? Both around what 38K?

I have seen Facebook posts from cub fans stating we been social distancing for years and at 25% capacity since the 70's. Their obsession with us and the attendance issues continues

You beat me to it Dick, some of these teams we've had to endure would make a non drinker drink

I'm skeptical as we have had so many sure things only to become big busts. C'mon AV pull through for us!!

RIP Rush, you will be missed

So glad she didnt play at Wrigley, and so funny to see a typewriter written letter

I'm having surgery this Thursday so took my first COVID test this morning completly painless and barely invasive, hell I've dug deeper for boogers Sorry so crude! In reading this board I'm reminded of the vast political divide between the Metro area and the rest of Illinois. I live in rural Northwest area of the state where its mostly conservative in stark contrast of the liberal area of the city. Its always interesting to get a 2nd view...

How cool was that!!?? Spending his money already?

I guessed it spot on and knowing AJ he wouldnt have it any other way !!

We lose another legend, RIP Hank

Glad we didnt offer that kind of quid. 25 mil a yr? I could live on that ?

Like my cousin Jeff said, "everything is relative" ? I guess when your the cheapest of the cheapest and you bring yr payroll up to average, some accolades are in order All this money and hype in signing players etc and the hire TL as manager?? WTF?

Hilarious! Tommy was so animated and cool, hoping hes enjoying the view from heaven

Well looks like we are taking steps to a Socialistic nation, dangerous thing. Soon we all may be comrades in the USSA! What are the GOP'ers mad about? Joe got more votes be in from cadavers, illegals or repeat voters! Plus the Republicans now have 4 yrs (or 4 months) of having fun w Joe the gaffe machine which there will be new daily content! Celebrate Republicans and enjoy giving Uncle Joe the Trump treatment!!

This is Sox Talk right? Not the PC board? I'm still paying my dues, as arduous as it may be?

The political police strike again! They will always be the Indians to me. As will the Redskins. When will our sacred Blackhawks feel the pain next?? Good God what is this world becoming?

Be nice to have an Aussie on team, free Fosters for everyone!?

Bingo, a point I was thinking Although I have heard of a Brinks truck doubling as a hearst

First Tony now Adam, whats next? Harold expect a call soon

IIRC the Sox were kind enough to carry his brother Hank on the roster for a year to qualify him for a pension, was this correct? How old school is that??

I read his biography a few yrs ago, my fav all time Sox player When Dick came to bat, all eyes were on him At least hes with his daughter who was murdered in LA a number of yrs ago RIP Dick

Take that cub fans ? took us what 36 yrs to get even for the Harry Carey incident?? Different circumstances but result the same

Tonys alcohol issues aside, what worries me is JR's inability or should I say unwillingness t to fire someone who isnt living up to standards, aka Robin V. If Tony is a bust how many yrs must we endure him? Not to sound depressing but JR likely doenst have many more years left
