Where to stay in Wrigleyville?

Les Lancaster — Wed, 05 Aug 2009 02:05:37 -0000

So I am coming into town in mid-septemeber for the Brewers/Cubs series and want to stay as close to the park as possible. I dont have many requirements, just that it is clean and a decent place to stay. Thus far, I have found a Best Western about four blocks away that is quoting me at $140 a night. The Days Inn, which I know has been mentioned many times on this site before, is booked as we speak for that week. I know this post is not a new one and I apologize for the redundance but any and all advice and help is appreciated. Thanks ahead of time to all that offer any advice.

Question about 87' Bill Murray Game

Les Lancaster — Tue, 24 Feb 2009 16:43:14 -0000

Since we are on the eve of the first ST game, I was just wondering what the best way was for myself to obtain a copy of the broadcast of Bill Murray announcing the Cubs-Expos game when Harry went down with a stroke and health issues. I obviously would accept any advice as I know it is posted rarely on youtube but gets taken down quickly. I appreciate any advice all could give. Also, does anyone have any idea of the schedule for spring training games that are televised for the cubs?

Missing BCB Shirt

Les Lancaster — Thu, 13 Mar 2008 17:21:21 -0000

Apparently there is someone who did not receive their full order for one of the out of town shipments. I do mot recall making any mistakes and I did not keep nor take one for myself. but anyway if there is someone with an extra please let us know or if not I will have to reimburse the missing party out of my shipment money. My email again is tour99@hotmail.com and would appreciate being contacted in some form by the missing party or if anyone again may have gotten an extra by mistake either way this will be taken care of promptly by either I or azweber.

sorry for this mistake.

BCB SHIRTS ON THE WAY!

I am in the process of getting a copy of the receipt made so that you all can see proof that it is completed but I did pay the extra dollar for four of the packages and here are the one's that got them and all packages have been sent priority mail:

1) Hopkinson, MB Canada
customs form: CP850963471US

2)Harper, track #03060320000192975874

3)vrabel, track # 03060320000192975867

4)Schmitz track #03060320000192975850

once I have scanned in the receipt I will try and get it up here but I am sending a faxed copy to azweber of the receipt which he will receive tonight or tommorrow, sorry again for the wait but you all should have your shirts within two to three business days as they went priority mail.

To All:

I have just got some progress on as to there where abouts of the shirts I have been contacted by the US Postal Service and there has obviously been too lengthy a time for you all to get your shirts. For some reason or another the post office has for some reason set aside your orders when I got them to the post office two weeks ago and they NEVER GOT SHIPPED! i was pissed to say the least and let them hear about it. I am going there first thing tommorrow to straighten this out, please accept my apoligy I have been in constant contact with azweber and I have no or have ever had no malicious intentions in getting these out to you all, the shirts will be out tommorrow with tracking numbers that I will post here asap. I have no reason to hold these from you and there is no reason to think otherwise. This was simply a mix up, I will get on it immediately and please do not think I am trying to steal or privately sell 30 to 40 of the same shirts, if I were obviously I would not be posting and answering all of azweber's calls. My apoligies again I understand all the anger, name calling and all, just please try and understand that I will make sure the shirts are out tommorrow.
