Sports_Freak Posted August 20 Share Posted August 20 Just an FYI....I saw an article last week about the Cubs looking forward to their next 15 games against weak teams like the Tigers to get them back into the wild card race. Locker room bulletin board material. 😆 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol...a good 2 week stretch could get them close to a WC. They're only 5.5 games out. 3 teams ahead of them though, it's do or die time for them. Detroit playing spoiler..

buddha Posted August 20 Share Posted August 20 The cubs have been very bad this season. the white sox being the worst team of all time has taken a lot of the focus off them locally. well, that and caleb williams, which is all anyone in this town can talk about.

buddha Posted August 20 Share Posted August 20 multiple bomb threats downtown and in the west loop today. targeting hotels. hopefully nobody makes one at wrigley tonight! (i would say the same for comiskey but the effect of blowing up an empty stadium isnt likely to produce the desired effect) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IdahoBert Posted August 21 Share Posted August 21 The radio app just cut Dan and Bobby off in mid-sentence. It’s not like they were almost over, they were cut off in the middle of an idea. And to “expand your baseball vocabulary” was the excuse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These are my season ticket seats I first got in 2001. I had to let them go but I was able to transfer them to a seat neighbor who moved into them and I get to buy 12 or 15 games a year. Works out awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
