Even though I'd love to smoke the Cubs today...I wouldn't mind seeing SHINGO in the 9th again. Another poster mentioned it....Shingo gives you that "game over" feeling.

I'm pretty sure you're going to remember him after Diaz is done for the day in 2 innings.

I'm going tmorrow...great seats...section 154

Nicely played!

Very young? I'm 25...i was just bringing up a discussion...calm down.

Thousands of tickets were on Ebay and StubHub....easy access for Cubs fans if they wanted to go to a game.

I'll be attending my very first Cubs-Sox series this weekend. I'm just curious (and hoping) if the Sox fans normally dominate the crowd at the Cell? I'm going to be pissed if I head to the Cell and see a bunch of freaking Prior jerseys.

or wave to the camera...like those idiots on WCIU last night.

Actually I'm usually one of those guys yelling "THIS ISN'T WRIGLEY!" at they guys yelling "Throw it back!" I was just curious if this could be considered unusual circumstances....apparently not.

I'm always completely against throwing homeruns back onto the field that were hit by visiting teams, BUT there's something that would feel good about throwing a homerun back hit by the Cubs. Almost like a slap in their face since they do it to everyone else. Thoughts?

Damn..he does need a song. It has to be something that would get the crowd hyped up though.

Ok, Mariotti is an idiot. Nomo went 1-2 years before anyone figured him out. No one is going to figure out Shingo this year. I just want a solid closer this year...if we need someone different next year...we can go out and get him.

Just for reference....Mr.Zero was a nickname made up by the media. Shingo said no one called him that in Japan. Regardless, the nickname fits him well.

A perfect game for Shingo....over 22 games!

I think you hit it on the head. They're pissed because it ruins their fun with the All-City team.

He should be, but he's having enough trouble finding one starting pitcher. If you land a big-time pitcher...you can just move Schoenweis to the 5th starter spot. I'd rather have him going every 5 days.

I just hope we start playing better baseball so we can kick the crap out of the Scrubbies.

WTF? How about what annoys you the most about the Cubs? f***ing Chicago Tribune. chicagosports.com

I've got 4 tickets together in Section 156 for Saturday, 6/26. I had friends going that will not be able to go now. I paid 78 a ticket for them, but my reserve price is 62.50 a ticket. Check out my auction if you're interested. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...2252408915&rd=1

I never get excited about the 5th starter because it's almost an automatic loss. I hope he pitches well and keeps his roster spot. He may have the best opportunity pitching against the Expos.

I'm not sure what you mean by the Homerun of the Century intro? When they're showing all the past white sox greats? That's still part of the intro.

"In his first at-bat as designated hitter, Sosa grounded sharply to second base, and in his third at-bat, he struck out swinging on a curveball from Barons starter Arnie Munoz." It appears that Sosa also doubled off of him. Munoz might be our next 5th starter.

That's awesome....I'm going to all the games. Sitting in different sections for each game..but all on the 3rd baseline. I got all of my tickets 75-90 a piece for the 3 games. It will be my first Sox-Cubs series...I'm fired up!!! :fthecubs

Should I start a new thread for my reply? The mascot is for the kids....it's a good move.

That's a good one!!! :fthecubs
