Milton Bradley officially signs with Cubs

cubs2234 — Mon, 05 Jan 2009 21:07:27 -0000

from an ESPN.com alerts text message:

"ESPN MLB - Cubs reached agreement with OF Milton Bradley on a 3-year contract worth $30 million"

I don't have any other sources yet, but I'm sure they're on the way.

I think this is an OK signing. I don't really know what to think at thus point. I'll wait to see what you all have to say, since I trust you guys' opinions.

Mysterious Autograph--Need help!

I was over at a friend's house tonight and her dad showed me this baseball with a couple autographs from some Cubs players. We have no idea who this belongs too. Sorry the image is pretty bad, I had to take it at VGA quality because i was low on memory. I think the number is 15 (which, according cubs.com, isn't helpful whatsoever--even the non-roster invitees).

Your help would be greatly appreciated/

Playoff Songs...

Watching today's WGN broadcast, they played a song (which they later identified as "This Will Be My Year", by Semisonic) that really hit me. What songs have "playoff" themed titles? I would love to make a playlist to put on my iPod, but I just can't think of any more songs! Any songs other than the cliche (but ALWAYS appropriate) "Go Cubs Go!" would be nice. I feel like there are a bunch, but I've gone brain dead. Please help me! Update [2007-9-23 18:14:33 by cubs2234]: What I currently Have: 1. Right Now-Van Halen 2. This Will Be Our Year-Van Halen 3. This Will Be My Year-Semisonic 4. Who Killed Tangerine- Tears for Fears (the song that goes, "It's not over" again and again)

"All we can do is come get them tomorrow."

I don't know if there have been other diaries like this, but the comments in the open threads are getting ridiculous. I understand that you're ticked, but making uneducated statements such as "soriano cannot hit," is just dumb (although right now, he's on Pluto, which doesn't even officially exist anymore). These guys have trained harder to do their jobs probably more than anything you have ever done in your life. They're human beings; they make mistakes. It's baseball; we'd love for the cubbies to go 162-0, but it doesn't happen. So what the offense is in a slump. IT HAPPENS. All you can do is go out and get them tomorrow. It sounds cliche but for this point in time is is completely appropriate. Although you might be oblivious to this, other teams are aloud to win games. In fact, they're going to win games.

Stay positive, go cubs, and thank you.

I need some advice...

OK, while it's not life-threatening or anything, I bought a new Cubs hat the other day at Wrigley. My old hat, which I had for two years just looked awful, and i thought it was time for a change. Like all new hats, the fabric is very stiff and the crown of the hat looks geeky. I've done the Google searches and I can't find a reliable answer to my question: How do I break in a fitted hat?

Fellow Cubs fans, help me!

This is the hat: http://shop.mlb.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2626701&cp=1452346.1452692
