Can anyone help my find this for a birthday present?

Hey BCB, I need your help. I am looking for this hat. http://www.cubworld.com/product/CHIC44/Chicago_Cubs_Authentic_2008_NL_Central_Division_Champions_Cap_by_Twins_Enterprises.html I wanted to get one for my brother for his B-day. I am not finding it anywhere on the Web. Wanted for sentimental reasons, and there is a long story that goes with it. I will spare you that, but if anyone can help me track one of these caps down, you would really be helping me out. Thanks BCB!!!

Can anyone out there make me a copy of, "Forever Cubs"?

Looking for a copy of "Forever Cubs", that aired last year on WGN. There was a BCB'er that said they could make me a copy and then I never heard anything again. I can be reached at: onemanfilms@yahoo.com

Does anyone have a copy of "Forever Cubs"?

Does anyone have a copy of "Forever Cubs" that aired

on WGN this year?

My daughter had an accident with the DVR last night, and now my copy of the show is gone. Checked the WGN site, and don't see a listing for them re-broadcasting it.

Does any BCB'er have a copy that they could burn a dvd for me?

I would be happy to pay for your trouble. I loved that program, and would love to get it back somehow. Thanks.

Cubs Fantasy Camp

My wife just gave me my early B-day present of a ticket to Cubs Fantasy Camp! Are any other BCB'ers going in January? Anyone advise on things I should bring (besides what is listed in the welcome packet)? Really looking forward to it. This will be my 1st time. I think I need to start working out now!!!

Rich Hill Update

Cubskingdom — Wed, 06 Aug 2008 03:44:40 -0000

I just pulled this off of www.chicagosports.com

Left-hander Rich Hill was placed on the disabled list with back spasms for a second time this summer. It is possible Hill won't pitch the final month of the minor-league season.

Not that we were counting on him for the stretch run, but not the way I expected this year to go for him.

His back issues sound chronic now. What gives? I thought his changes delivery was meant to correct his back issues.

Can I ask for your help BCB'ers???

Al, if this violates any BCB policy, please let me know, and if it does feel free to remove this post.

If it is ok, I would like to ask for everyone's help. I have signed up with the Cubs West Side Rooters Club. They are having a contest to see who can sign up the most new members by June 30th.

The person that signs up the most gets dinner for 4 at Harry Carry's with Ernie banks, and 4 front row tix to a Cubs game.

I lived in Chicago for several years, and now am in Western Wisconsin. (Here is my shameless plug) I would love to be able to have my wife and 9 month old son meet a man that has had such an impact on my life. With the newborn, we don't get to Chicago much now. This would be a dream come true.

So, if someone has beat me to this idea, then delete this post, but if not, would any of you that have time in the next 2 days click on the link below and join? All they need is an e-mail, your name, and my e-mail for the referral. My e-mail is:

chris@355productions.com

There is no cost, and after you join, you can even select a "do not e-mail me" box.

If I get there, I will wear my BCB/Project 3000 shirt, and give BCB some mad props.

Thank you all.

I have not heard the latest on the new BCB Shirts, but...

I know Al posted some designs for the new BCB shirts. I am not sure what the current status is on the new shirts, but if they have not been produced yet, I think a consideration of puttting, "Were on a mission from God" on them somewhere may be called for.

I hope the above does not offend anyone, just think this is a very special year, and we may need a very special shirt to remember it by. Thoughts?

If the shirts have been completed, please forgive my tardiness in keeping up with the updates.

Let's go get em' today

Anyone else have problems with Extra Innings?

Cubskingdom — Tue, 22 Apr 2008 14:29:17 -0000

I just cxld it. I have Comcast in Wisconsin. Was all excited to sign up for it for the 1st time. So far this season they have not carried 3 Cubs games. All games were carried by Comcast SportsNet in Chicago in addition to the feed that was being carried by the opposing team.

I called to complain. It's the same company, Comcast. How can they not carry the feed?

Two Saturdays in a row, they did not carry the Cubs game. I called again. Why am I paying $159.00 to work all week and then not be able to see the Cubs games on the weekend.

One day I looked up the MLB schedule, there were 15 games that day, and Extra Innings was airing 4!

I had just had it. I called and they gave me a full refund, and I told them I am switching over to the MLB.com package.

I do not live in a blackout area, I do not get why Extra Innings can't do a better job. They have to know Cubs fans have to be in the top 3 groups that would sign up for Extra Innings. Would it not be a good idea to carry all the feeds?

Hope the new owners will start a Cubs channel, ie. NESN, or YES. With the great Cubs Forever program, I am sure the Cubs could generate 24-7 content built around the Cubs games and minor league team broadcasts.

So I am done with Extra Innings and wanted to ask how people are doing with the GameDay video?

Thanks for letting me vent.

Can someone help me identify a Cubs game?

My wife purchased a great Wrigley Field framed poster this weekend. I was looking at the details I can make out on the poster (it is not dated).

It is from last year (can see the Under Armor on the outfield doors) The Cubs are playing the Astros. Looks like Z is pitching. I cannot make out the score, but it is the top of the 8th, and the board says, Chris Burke 1-3, Triple.

Looks about 5:10 pm on the clock. That is all the info I can glean from the print.

Any stat peeps out there that might be able to help me figure out the date of this game, or point me in the right direction?

Thanks BCB'ers

It has been 9 days for BCB Shirts, and...........

Cubskingdom — Sat, 23 Feb 2008 21:51:12 -0000

I still have received nothing. I read they were mailed out 9 days ago. Lived in Florida for a year. Never took longer than 4 days for anything to be mailed up here.

I need to make arrangements to be mailed another shirt or to get a refund.

Something is not adding up, and I would like to be done with this now.
