Long before my time. The wrong franchise left town, that’s for sure....
Manny and The Dodgers and the Angels say, hold on there.
Yep...we sure were. I sent out an email yesterday. I would love to see this, but I would be in a tough spot: I am a national league fan, but I can’t STAND Piniella.
Win!if the mets are out of it i’d go for the cubs. but i would pull for the red sox if they made it since yankee fans would be devastated. ANYONE but the yanks and the phillies.
and these guys are both over 6 feet and over 200 pounds. they fought their way out. someone came up to them after and said that was the first time they had ever seen anyone escape that scenario without taking the jersrey off.
Being a life-long, die-hard Cub fan, I’d give anything to see us CRUSH the White Sox in the Series.
The thing is, no matter who would win that series, I will say that we will have the Second Great Chicago Fire!
Want to ruin the chances of Chicago being the host for the 2016 Olympics? Have a cross-town series, that’s how. The behavior that would likely be on display for the world would make the IOC run to Tokyo, Rio or Madrid so fast it’ll make your head spin.
I’ve simply stopped going to Soldier Field and now Wrigley. The last Bears game I went to was the Super Bowl in Miami. At least the Indy fans had class.
Will the city install a courtroom in the stadium and provide a judge to hear the criminal cases that result from the fans' misbehavior? Will the fans be allowed to throw snowballs at Santa Claus?
Unless the answer to both questions is 'yes," then as ugly as the behavior might be, it won't achieve the lows routinely set during Eagles' football games.
Are you going to work this into a sermon? BTW, coming from just South of Roosevelt Rd, my family was Sox fans. They lived near Roosevelt & Ashland where Circle Campus now exists. The church, First Immanuel, is still there.
But most of my existing family are Cubs fans today. So be it... And our son having been in for my birthday went to the game last Wednesday before returning to Vegas. Alas, they lost. I couldn’t even watch it on Cable because of some goofy setup Comcast has here in town. It was advertised but not on. I thought I might see Gene & Alicia but no luck.
You must be the only one, because Sweet Lou is undoubtedly the most popular man across the vast Cubs Nation these days.
However, we've just got to keep our heads above the water at the current moment. Too early to think about LCS at this moment - although I've already got my tickets in hand for the first Shea Stadium game of the NLCS (Game 1 or 3 - whichever it may be).
Dream is right. But then he woke up and found the Angels and Phillies playing for the prize.
More likely Cubs-Rays; it’d be nice to see the Cubs win it at last.
If it’s Cubs-Rays, then Piniella would be largely responsible for both teams being there.
More Cubs fans than Rays fans would show up in St.Pete. Have the Rays had even one sellout this year?
I would NOT be able to stand for a RedLine Series.
The fact that we could lose to the Sox is too much to think and IF that actually happened, the SoxFans would achieve levels of obnoxiousness even greater than that of Green Bay fans.
