Most years we can say "at least we didn't suck as bad as you" or "we finished 2nd and you finished 4th" or "what happened head to head?" The Met fans have to see WS titles piling up.

Did Santo come over before or after Kessinger? How many other guys have moved back and forth? Sosa of course. I like Santo and as a 3rd baseman, I think he deserves to be in the HoF. The veterans committee will add him, probably and sadly, after he dies. I'm trying to be happy for the Cubs. 99% of Cub fans are fine. It's the in your face ass holes with something to taunt us with that really piss me off. I now have a great deal of respect for Mets fans. That has to be so much worse than this.

Captain! We may have found intelligent life on this board. Yes, that post was well written with proper spelling and punctuation. You know that must stop. Who do you think it is? My guess is JM, he has plenty of time on his hands, could be him. Could be, who else would find the Sox board *after* the season. Welcome aboard. But I'm the bully and I use to pick on the scrawny Cub fans who grew up to wear pin striped suits to the games. Just look tough and they'll cough up their lunch money. By the way outside Chicago the world wants a Cubs-Red Sox WS.

Another great skit was a 1970's Belushi, Akroyd, and I think Garret Morris on SNL. They are in little sperm costumes and explaining about trying for the egg. Swimming hard, the whole bit. Then when the big moment comes (sorry) and they are to be released, they find out it's a bases empty solo shot.

What game the season ended weeks ago

It has done this: If I hear one more time that we can't afford this or that I'm going to scream. We are a f***ing large market team. We lost to f***ing Minnesota. Before that Cleveland was kicking our ass. Minnesota and Cleveland! Buy me a WS appearace or get the hell out of the way. I don't want Billy Beane I want George Stienbrenner! I thought being 1600 miles away I could just pretend to be a Cubs fan and accept all the "you must be so happy" s*** comments. Nope, I get more and more pissed at my Sox. Hell my backup team, the Astros, lost to the Cubs. This season really did suck. Now I'm Boston's nightmare, I'm cheering for them.

My God somebody writing is actually making sense. Seems like pretty good analysis. Second place is the 1st Loser.

Damn he did hit it a long way. Think he was using a special bat to entertain the fans And NO I am not accusing him of anything.

Isn't Idiot Yakee fan being redundant?

or next Monday, or next Monday . . . I just thought of another one Pardon my Rant

College is 19-22 Where does a 42 year old Junior fit?

Are the Cubs scalping tickets like they were caught during the Yankees series? I would love to have thme be screwing their fans.

I'm getting sick of our payroll issues. Chicago is a f***ing major market. The lesser haves are suppose to be b****ing about us. NY, LA, and Chicago. We should be able to support a payroll at least in the mid 70s to mid 80's I know it's one of those unsubstantuated comments with nothing to back it but damn when the Twins, Astros, Rangers, etc. can spend more.

Rename the Pale Hose Board!? We could all get really stupid, egotistical, tyranical, and just plain b****y and call it WSI

That was soo easy. I shovel sunshine all winter. I've acclimated to the heat. When it's 100 it feels like just another day. When it's in the 50's or worse I'm wearing the biggest parka I own. You can keep slush, salt stains on everything, pairs of gloves (batting and golf gloves are ok), ice scrappers, snow blowers, rear window defrosters, giant snow boots, anything thermal, and of course jack frost nipping at your nose.

I thought f*** That was a top vote getter also. Are we ever going to actually name the board of can we poll it to death?

The Cubs only win today because losing tomorrow will be that much harder.

Mildly entertaining. Think Parcell's played?

I've never posted there, think I can get banned by association? Anyone have an email address for them?

I liked the guy during spring training but by the third week I wanted to yank that damn goatee off his f***ing face. The mere appearance of his picture pissed me off. Damn I hope he returns to form, I would really like to like the guy.

Cross town hate put a side and recognizing that Jeter's shoulder may not have been 100% I have to go with none of the above.

High Schoolers get to tee it up on a rubber block.

I think the Yankees where very happy to be playing the Twins and not the Sox.

I'd like to see a better closer. One big problem, how many teams are lining up asking KW about Koch? He has zero trade value. Maggs will get you something but I'd rather hang on to Maggs than trust KW to get the right guy.
