    Eddie needs to sell about 900 million more records first to afford them.
    This weekend we rock Portland

    He wants to win. But he never has won anything. He needs to take his ass to an owner's suite.

    No, he hasn't, and he has made some dumb moves here and there (Kidd, Rodman, etc.), but he did put that 2006 Mavs team together. Not his fault they crapped the championship away.

    i dont really care who ends up owning the chicago cubs....

    because either way .......im sure the FIRST order of business....for the new owner

    will be to raise the ticket prices....

    in 1997 i was paying $6 to walk across the street to wrigley and sit in the bleachers......now a bleacher ticket is $50........

    OUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I know Ed's been pretty successful but I don't think he could afford the Cubs.

    The Cubs need to study their history and see why they won the World Series back then. The answer is they need their ace to only have three fingers again and I hear they're scheduling Zambrano for surgery soon. ;)

    you might get a laugh out of this.....

    i once read as you get older.....you need to look at what you did as a child.....or what was it that brought you happiness as a child........and go back to doing that........TO KEEP YOU HAPPY...

    so....as a kid i used to collect baseball cards.....and then like a fool i sold them all (i had pleny of vintage cards.)

    so last week i went on ebay and decided i am going to start buying some of what i consider the vintage cards (mays,clemente,aaron,banks)....well i was happy to see that the baseball card industry has fallen the way of the economy....i am now the proud owner of the first 5(including rookie card) topps Billy Williams cards...hehehehehehehe and i didnt spend $60......even though "book value" says they are worth $4,856,321.00 hehehehehehehehehe

    after i collect all the billy williams cards......i am going to move on to clemente......

    i guess now all the poster people.....can start laughing at me.....hahahahahahahahahahaha

    Nah, that's pretty cool. But then again you know baseball is by far my favorite sport so anything to do with baseball rarely gets disparaged by me ... lol.

    Nice find on the cards though!

    Eddie would become Public Enemy #1 in my book if he bought the Cubs. I'm just glad the NHL found a use for Wrigley when the weather gets cold. Lord knows the Cubs don't play there when the weather turns cold.

    Yes, it's cold in April in Chicago. I was making the point that they never play when the weather TURNS cold...October or November
