GO...Cardinals??!!??

preachermancubsfan — Sun, 24 Aug 2008 17:23:22 -0000

Yea, i know it seems weird to say and/or hear.

it seems to me that it would be better for the4 cubs if the brewers missed the playoffs altogether. though i am not scared of them or anyone else, i think that they are the team to pose the biggest threaqt to the cubs in the postseason.

i will be rooting for the cardinals in the upcoming head to head matchup btween the brewers and cards. i know it is only a 2 game series. i know alot of people may say "be careful what you wish for" but i am wishing for the best as i see it for the cubs.

and btw how often do teams get 2 days off out of 4? i noticed the cards/brewers are both off monday AND thursday next week. all the while, the cubs have to play all 4 days. whats up with that?

im sure some people will bash me for saying these things, but it is how i feel! how about you?

How did it all start...for you?

Sorry im just sitting here at my computer, wishing there was a game thread, lol. bored out of my mind.

Fun off-day topic: HOW did you become a cubs fan?? were you young when you did? did you come to baseball or the cubs later in life? what major memories brought you to the status of a "bleeder of cubbie blue?" in other words, what made you the hardcore fan you are?

My story: i remember when i was in like kindergarten, my grandpa gave me a cubs jacket, it wasnt any jacket either, it was a shiny, official field jacket you saw the cubs wear on cold nights. it was sweet!! My grandpa was baiting me into this wonderful thing we call cubdom! i remember he invited me over to watch games on WGN, i remember watching Ryno and Grace. I absolutley fell in love with the cubs! i watched all the time.

My grandpa passed away last year about a month before the playoffs. he was buried with his cubs hat that he wore for about 15 years, because he wore the last decades hat out. i inherited all his cubs stuff.

My grandpa is the reason that i am a fanatic of our beloved cubbies...i would give anything to have him beside me when the third out is made when we win the WS this year. and im sure thats the first thing we talk about when i find him in heaven!

Whats your story?

Kerry Wood...another discussion

preachermancubsfan — Thu, 17 Jul 2008 13:56:34 -0000

I was just wondering poeples opinions on if they think that Kerry Wood would ever be a starter again. He is a good closer. But, it would be hard to ignore a rotation made up of parts from Z, Harden, Wood, Demp (if resigned), Lilly, Hill (if returned)and even marshall, and players like sheets and sabathia going to free agency after this season...wow!

This may be a little bit of a dream post, but, let me know your thoughts.

The whole 9 hours...

preachermancubsfan — Wed, 16 Jul 2008 05:58:06 -0000

was anyone else so nervous from like the 8th inning on that marmol was gonna come in and get lit up? but then the another part of me thought that it could be just what he needs to come in and do good against a few all stars. confidence booster! i was so nervous!

he came in and looked pretty good, maybe not great, but close! slider was working. command was there.

anyones thoughts on this turning him back to his early season form, or at least an era under 3-4 the rest of the way out?

well, i hope to get some good responses on this post, or i guess you can tell me im beating a dead horse, lol

sidenote. z shouldnt have pitched at all. they should have saved him to play 2b late instead of uggla, lol

love you all!

A Possibility....

preachermancubsfan — Sun, 13 Jul 2008 02:30:00 -0000

i was just reading northsiders fanpost about cedeno, theriot, and dero....i liked it. i voted theriot and dero.

as soon as i did a thought came to mind. what would chances be of a guy like theriot to convert to a center-fielder? what about cedeno? i was mainly wondering about theriot though.

this might be a stupid topic that may just be irrelevent, and never happen. just wondering if it could be a possibility for theriot. hes such a good bat, and i like him.

Welcomes, Props, and Movies!

Well first...i finally created an account here at bcb after reading Al's posts for about a year and a half. i read all the threads and i love you all... looking forward to talking to you all!

Second, I wanna give props to A-ram for FINALLY getting the recognition he deserves!! He was finally voted to the all star team! many of us cried and cried for it last year, and was upset about the snub, but congrats A-Ram!!

And lastly, i have always wondered this in the year and a half of coming to this site...what is everyones favorite BASEBALL movie? i would have to go with the cliche and say Rookie of the Year, or The Sandlot...lol

well, that does it for my first fanpost ever...your all GREAT, and poster "santoswoodenlegs" is the most hilarious guy i have never met...lol
