The Cubs aren't so bad. They're actually kinda cute down there in 3rd or 4th place.

Crazy baseball story about the shlubs. I had always wanted to see a game at Wrigley, being somewhat of a history buff. In '02, I picked a Cardinals game to go see. My friend and I and our wives scalped tickets and ended up getting seats in left field foul territory. Game time came and nothing happened. We were sitting there confused as to what the deal was. Turns out it was the game in which the Cardinals pitcher had died and they cancelled the game. My only game at Wrigley and it got cancelled. I paid a lot of money for those seats too.

:banghead: :banghead: :thefinger: the cardinals. GO CUBS!!!

It takes a special kind of fan (special ed maybe) to pick the biggest losers in the history of baseball to be your team.

Who is your pro football team, The Arizona Cardinals?

[tidwell]

I remember that game, vader. It was gonna be the FOX Game of the Week that Saturday. Jack Buck died later that year, too.

That's tough. I got to see a Cub game from the left center bleachers against the Mets a few years back before Maddux went to the Braves. He pitched that night. I don't remember a lot about the game (lotsa beer bought with expense account money) except that the crazies out there were pretty adament about throwing opposition home run balls back onto the field. I'm not a big Cub fan but I enjoyed the experience. Wrigley's a national treasure. The most exciting part of the event was the cab ride to and from the park. I'm still shakin'. Some of those Iranian cab drivers could show the Nextel boys a thing or two. BTW, go REDS!

I have an older brother who's always been a Cardinal fan. His hero was Stan Musial. Any of you kids out there ever see Stan the Man play? He was a hitting machine!

I am a fan of being a Cardinal Hater!



Go Redlegs!

Hey OE, this Friday is St Patricks day. Think the Reds will wear the green uni's for their preseason game this year?

[OrangeEmpire]

Count on green Reds uniforms!

The Reds are trying to get all the money they can from any where!

Only a few more days until the Cardinals begin their march for their 5th Central Division title in the last 6 years.

2-0 Cards in the 4th.

Pujols homered in the 3rd.

[tidwell]

5-0 now. Bases loaded with Pujols batting.

I smell a pitching change for the Sillies...

[vader]

[tidwell]

Are you gettin' to watch it on TV, vader? I'm havin' to settle for Yahoo! Sports' gamecast thing...

[vader]

Nah, man. I'm in the same boat as you.

[vader]

Man, it looks like I pretty much copied your signature. I just arranged them that way because I thought it was asthetically pleasing, honest!!

[tidwell]

This is an absolute OUTRAGE that the Cardinals game isn't on TV on opening day. The best team in the NL vs. one of the darling picks to win the NL East. This is made for TV sports drama!
