    WOW! Doubt anyone is watching the game tonight but they just advertised the Cubs are offering a $40 for 4 tickets, 4 dogs and 4 soda deal for ALL April and May games. Unbelievable. I do love it though and I still won't go. It's nice that the fans have said a big "fuck you" to the Ricketts family and their highest priced tickets for a far below average MLB team. First beer now being sold through the 8th inning and now this, they have to be selling next to no tickets. I couldn't be happier that the Ricketts are getting screwed. They think they can drop $900 mil on a team and get the investment back overnight. It doesn't work that way. They should invest more time analyzing players then their ticket buying patterns which they "thouroughly" analized with their insane tiered pricing bull shit.

    Not a cubs fan (sox fan as I'm sure you may know) but I'm happy to see this post. I have many close friends who are diehard cubs fans and have this same mentality. The Tommy Ricketts is a member of my parish, and you would not believe the pub he gets. I swear, they said a Sunday Mass in his honor, haha. They commend him for his generosity, when all he does is sell tix for face value to the parish...It's bullshit. Even though my heart and attention are for the SouthSide, I still want the cubs to be competitive. Makes it a fun/interesting summer. So I must say, I am happy to see Cubs fans finally making a statement (at least I hope that's what's going on).
    He floated back down 'cause he wanted to share, his key to the locks on the chains he saw everywhere.

    big z looked good against a hot padres lineup...maybe he'll have a few more before the trade deadline so the cubs can unload him.

    made zero sense to go out and sign a 10M a year player for one season. it's not like the cubs were competitors and this guy would push them over the top. maybe he keeps them out of the basement, but is that really worth 10M

    Hell no it isn't. For a lot less and what I believe would be better production I'd rather see Colvin at 1B everyday.

    are you shocked? the cubs defense on the left side (castro, aram and hop along cassidy) was discussed a few pages back.

    viewtopic.php?f=14&t=120791&p=3481209&hilit=left#p3481209

    page 32

    i had those three in the 60-70 range compined.

    thru 22 games, those three have 11. castro with 7, aram and soriano with two apiece. they are on pace to have 81 has a trio.

    Thank you Castro, we couldn't have done it without you. I just feel sorry for Matt Garza. He definately deserved a better fate. I guess that's what he gets for leaving Tampa.

    Stat of the game - Fukudome had more hits than the Rox, 5 - 4.

    3 games under .500 now. I doubt this team will hit .500 again this year.
