ThunderBolt Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 Got to see the Cubs play the Giants at Ho-Ho-Kom. Good to see the Cubs continue to shoot themselves in the foot, today it was Derrek Lee's. I got Shawn Dunston's autograph. I was unaware he still worked for the Giants.

whitesoxfan101 Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 Cubs need to just stop responding to Milton Bradley when he comments on them. It just makes them look bad since everybody thinks Bradley is a nut job, so just ignore him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not the greatest song in the world, but it creates a nice atmosphere in The Urinal after the games. I wouldn’t mind the Sox getting a victory song, hopefully, a decent one.

RockRaines Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 In the paper today, the Cubs are going to run run and more run to create runs. With who Lou? Half your team cant run and the other half is injured. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With who Lou? Half your team cant run and the other half is injured. Â LOL. Your projected leadoff hitter gets 20+ SB a year, but no one else in your lineup even hit double digit steals last year. And the one player with great SB skills in the past has admitted his knee is nowhere near healthy, even after the offseason. Good luck with that.

HuskyCaucasian Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 The Cubs are looking to add advertising to above the bleachers. Here is the first... of probably many signs.

If the 2 Chicago teams swapped GM's, I'd guarantee you that you'd see both Vitters and that new young SS moved before the trading deadline, probably for a starting pitcher and a LH bat, to try to make one last run at it this year.
