The **OFFICIAL** 2006 Chicago Cubs Thread

[The_Dude]

Word on the street is that Lou is pushing Hendry to acquire A-Rod...

[Oliver's Army]

Yeah, Bill Buckner.

Blows it for the Red Sox. Famous play.. possibly the most famous error ever in baseball.

Someone was lookin at the old photo, and found something. On his batting glove he was wearing at the time.

HIS OLD CUBS BATTING GLOVE WITH THE CUBS LOGO ON IT!!!!

HAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAAAAA!!!!

Sorry, man, I'm a Cubs fan too, but his is just too classic.

CHICAGO -- Memo to the National League. The Chicago Cubs mean business.

The team without a World Series title since 1908 has tackled the offseason with a fury and is on the verge of landing Alfonso Soriano, one of the game's top offensive players.

2004 2005 2006
Hits 170 171 179
Runs 77 102 119
HRs 28 38 46
Steals 18 30 41
OPS .808 .821 .911

WOW!

I think Jim Hendry is dreamy.

My hopes for the rest of the year:

*Jason Marquis or any pitcher of equal or better talent is signed.
*The Tribune Co. sells the team to some group of investers that give a sh*t about winning us our first series in nearly 100 years.
*Bears - Colts Super Bowl....right now I don't care who would win...I just want desperately to watch that game.

[The_Dude]

HUGE but there's still a long way to go.

[rezin]

135 mil is alot of f*cking money...

well see if hes worth it...

[adam atherton]

i'll still be there with a hopeful heart and a fresh season.

either way, it's going to be an interesting season...

[iammarky]

yeah, not gonna win without pitching. i think jason schmidt will be available. we should try to land him.

[The_Dude]

We have Wood and Prior!!!!

[iammarky]
