Incredible my first Cubs-Sox game and a fight breaks. This is just to show you that the Cubs are on the brink of collapse. I remeber Barrett's interview from over the break saying that he was afraid of the Cubs loosing fan base and becoming the the second team in chicago. He punched AJ intentially know doubt. I was listening to the Score on the way home from the game and Barrett's excuse was that after AJ ran into him he bump him again and then made a move toward their dugout and he reacted. Thats a bunch of bull, AJ just said he was going to get his helmet. From what I saw, AJ did nothing wrong. He did not look like he was coming after Barrett like how Barrett suggested. The mood in the stands was tense. As soon as the fight broke I saw the entire Bullpen just make a break for the field. Barrett took out his fraustrations on AJ thats what it boils down to. The whole entire Cubs organization is a lost cause, their dumbass fans make the arguement all the time that they have sell out crowds...AND FOR WHAT? A lost cause. Alot of Cub fans are angry that their team is losing and its because the Tribune only cares about ticket sales, they don't care if the cubs win or lose. If dumb people keep forking the money over to support them why would they need to care. They spent less money then us and all they did was add a bunch of seats in s*** wrigley field over this entire off season proving that they don't care. So my question is are there so many dumb people out there that would cheer for this s*** team? Honest to god its a lost cause. If anyone who his going to come out of this situation ahead its us. Micheal Barrett is bound for suspension thus helping his team suck even more. Who are the Cubs gonna put in Blanco? And here was Dusty Baker just saying that he did not see any punches thrown man he needs to do his job and control his players and keep them in line cause he is not doing s***. I'm pretty mad that this would happen to AJ. The Cubs are trying to pin this s*** on us and its was Barrett who threw the punch. This just shows us level of Sportmanship the cubs have and how much control Dusy haves over his team.

how much did u guys get tickets for?

QUOTE(SoxFanInDallas @ May 16, 2006 -> 08:21 AM) I need some realistic ideas on how to convince my 'pregnant' wife to go to the Sox-Devil Rays game on Thursday. Background: We are flying in that day for a wedding over the weekend. Thursday night is the ONLY day we will be visiting with her friend, and the rest of the weekend is with my family. And, my wife is pregnant, so I have to be nice to her If one of you suggests a winning idea that convinces her to go to the game, I will send you a sixer of Shiner Bock....the best damned beer in Texas. simple ask her to go and say that she can bring her friends to the game.

Call me crazy but I think we might trade either Pods or Uribe. Uribe has been amazing at short stop but his bat needs to pick up. I think that either Cintron might be a temp while we trade both pods and Uribe to try to get someone. I think Ozuna is ready to play play especially in left field. If you think about it Pods is starting to get things together but for awhile he was struggling. We need him to get on base and use his speed thats where he is most deadly. I think Ozuna has that speed as well.

QUOTE(SoxAce @ May 15, 2006 -> 12:55 AM) On the plus side, they are guarenteed no rain delays so it's basically a 99% chance there will be a game when the Twins play at their dome.. Sorry, couldn't resist... yeah but 100 years ago they didn't have domes. It just not the way to play ball games. If they have a retractable dome then we have a different story. The Astros b****ed about to Bud Selig about not being able to use their dome. Honestly if it were raining I would say use it. But it wasn't and they just wanted to use that as an advantage. They b****ed about playing in the rain at Comiskey, so they demanded to use their dome. Since when does playing in the rain constitute as an advantage? sounds like Cub s*** to me.

I thought that they were in the process of getting an outdoor ball park here http://minnesota.twins.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/...lpark/index.jsp

QUOTE(SoxFanInDallas @ May 12, 2006 -> 08:21 AM) I think we ought to make a move to trade back for Rowand ala Boston getting back Doug Mirabelli. I miss the guy. Hope you feel better Crash! Brain Anderson isn't doing that bad of a job. He just needs better at bats but fielding wise I think he has potiential to be just like Rowand.

http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?i...ce=MLBHeadlines House in South Carolina to be museum Associated Press GREENVILLE, S.C. -- Baseball fans will soon get an inside look at Shoeless Joe Jackson, one of the game's most-storied players. The home of the former Chicago White Sox star outfielder and Greenville native will open Friday prior to the Drive's Eastern League game against Hickory. It was moved to a site near the stadium in early April. The opening will be featured as part of a series on The Learning Channel in July. It followed the turning of Jackson's home into a baseball museum. The show will feature the home's owner, developer Richard C. Davis, who was on the A&E series "Flip This House." Crews were working late Thursday to finish the renovations on the 1,000-square-foot home. The rooms will feature pictures and some of Jackson's memorabilia, which will be permanent fixtures in the museum later this summer. "We will open it to the public just [Friday]," Davis said. "Then it will officially open in July, Shoeless Joe Month." Davis said a foundation will be set up to operate the museum. Jackson is among the eight White Sox players involved in a conspiracy to fix the 1919 World Series. Those eight, who are known as the "Black Sox," were banned from baseball for life. Jackson died in Greenville in 1951.

did he break his nose? Was there blood? Sorry had to ask.

QUOTE(G&T @ May 11, 2006 -> 02:30 PM) It rained all night, and the sun hasn't come out so the field has had no chance to dry really. So yeah I think it's cancelled. yeah but don't they put out the tarp when they know its going to rain?

QUOTE(Heads22 @ May 10, 2006 -> 11:10 PM) Is it really cancelled? Its not raining that hard right now and the game doesn't start till 7

QUOTE(Cuck the Fubs @ May 10, 2006 -> 10:43 PM) Got an email from the guys today: There is such a thing, and i'm sorry i can't get details right now because it's not official yet. But we will be on am670 the score friday talking about it. Time is not set but it will be between 10am and noon. We'll have better info by then. Thanks for your interest and support. This is what I was told in an email. It will take place on May 27th at 11:30AM outside of wrigley. Thats a Day game against the Braves at 12:20PM.

http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?i...ce=MLBHeadlines Honestly, I'm so sick of the yankees and red sox getting all this hype by ESPN. I read this and think that steinbrenner is one pissed off old guy who should stop taking viagra.

I don't know of any hotels but I believe Yankee stadium also gives tours. They are supposedly getting a new stadium in the next few years. I go to NYC once in awhile I got family there. I think that Yankee Stadium is located in Manhatten at the tip.

you know what we should do. We should drive by wrigley field, right by the protest and hold up a sign that says Grinder ball rule number 1908: While we parade, they protest. 1-0 Good guys. Honking the horn.

QUOTE(kyyle23 @ May 9, 2006 -> 07:40 AM) egads, what would make you want something like that? I really don't know why. I guess I was thinking if by a miracle Reinsdorf would purchase the cubs and sell them off to someone to move the team.

Ok so I found out what they are doing. It will take place on May 27th at 11:30AM outside of wrigley. I just looked and thats a Day game against the Braves at 12:20PM. This is a waste of time because they will probably march for about an hour then go to the game, get hammered then pretend nothing happend.

Clutch Crede deserves it

Well I guess McCarthy is gonna take over for Contreras right?

Better yet if they keep protesting and some how by a miracle they get the tribune to sell. I hope that the Cub fans cause their own demise. I hope that Reinsdorf buys the team or someone wanting to move the Cubs to another city does. That will be the icing on the cake.

This is a great day. We have the Cubbies on their knees.

I was there sitting third base side some what by the foul poll in section 155. I thought the ball was gone as soon as it left Crede's bat but then I saw it die down and I figured it was going to get caught. Then all of a sudden I see the ball come down hit the wall or the warning track and bounce out of play. The fire works are going off and the Kiss him goodbye steam song is playing and I look to see Crede making his way around the bases. I said out loud that should have been a ground rule double. But I didn't care what the umps ruling was at the time, it was their mistake. I said "hey if it works in our favor." But the umps had their little meeting by second base and Crede was told to go to second. :banghead
