Bleed Cubbie Blue

Overflow Thread 2: Cubs vs. Orioles, Thursday 6/26, 1:20 CT

Site note: after the game today I have to go in to work (filling in on an afternoon/evening shift). Thus, today's game recap may be delayed till later in the evening.

Let's win this series!

it is lonely in here.
won't be for long
pinella will be at all-star game

just got named to replace Randolph as coach on NL staff

11-0???

wow, just turned tv on, what happened?

Marquis was the old Marquis, basically
Marquisoline

100 miles to the gallon

just checking in for the first time today...

How’s the spirits on the board for a miraculous comback today?

Or is everybody playing the drinking game and too blasted at this point?

*comEback

I guess by the deafening silence, most have gone to the bar already and are drowning their sorrows.

Detroit wins, 3-2. STL walks in winning run
Good!!!

I feel somewhat better…

At least it's nice to know that we didn't lose any ground
Nice to see that the Cardinals are human after all
on the bright side...

if we come back, matbe we’ll be the lead story on SC

Nice thought but I know, you know, we all know, the lead story is going to be how Joba's arm is feeling the day after his first victory.

Live updates with the trainer, the towel boy, and video footage of post-game-used ice…

What the?!?!?!

Holy Hill! I am glad I have missed the majority of this game! The Cubs haven’t had a really embarassing loss yet and I am not willing to say this will be the one yet. They have 2 on, make some noise Wrigley!

Actually

They got blown out in Cincinnati earlier this year- 9-0 or something. The game Lieber started.

Yeah, but for some

reason that doesn’t seem as bad as this one. This is some seriously sloppy fielding and bad pitching. It isn’t like luck just isnt in our corner today. They are losing it

Hey! Hey!

a run!

here we come!!
11-1

Ain’t over yet.

Everyone, play along here...

...imagine if we ACTUALLY CAME BACK this game. Just imagine. Talk to me…

Imagine there's no heaven...
Um, well, I would be happy.
Im would cry
If we win this game...

we all get Cubs tattoos.

Better yet

A black sock with holes in it and a dead cardinal

2-out thunder...

please

A comeback

would be the biggest in Cubs history.

I remember watching the Phillies come back from an 11-1 or an 11-2 deficit to beat the Dodgers back in 1990. The game must have been on ESPN. I still recall Tommy Lasorda sitting all alone on the dugout bench after the game, looking like he wanted to kill someone. Then he knocked the gatorade container onto the ground.

RALLY BABY

Love that guy

He’s got a sign for everything!

Yes, putting on my rally cap now!
Lou needs to take Edmonds

out…no reason to get him hurt.

who's gonna replace edmonds?

i don’t think there is anyone

9 to tie, 10 to win, we ain't dead yet!
attaboy, Dward
DWaryle is da man.
professional hitter !!!
Wait, do the Cubs have 5 2Bmen in the game?

yes, yes they do. that, my friends is the recipe for a deep-fried comeback

And Ward.

Who really isn’t anything.

Just born to hit!
He's thinner than before

don’t you think?

He's lost 15-20 lbs.
He looks like it...

looks great.

He looked really thin

on gameday. ;)

Think you're right.

Still…you just kinda throw him at first and hope for the best.

True that.

His back is the culprit. We’re spoiled with Gold Glover Mr. Lee.

Except a hitter you mean?

BTW Ron and Pat are taking questions, faxed of course, about whether or not it’s boxers or briefs. The joy of being down 9…

What do you fry it in?
mmmm, deep-fried
Thats the way Lou & Jim drew it up back in Mesa
Thats the way Lou & Jim drew it up back in Mesa
You can say that again.
Creeping back into it....
what's another 10 runs?
another 9 runs! woo!
I really hope this is a continous countdown!
in a scrappy, sneaky power kind of way...
We do have 5 scrappy 2B in the game!
3 innings left!

Who is singing the stretch today? Perhaps we should start working on some luck.

8 to tie, 9 to win, we ain't dead yet!
Gonna go watch some 30 Rock

I’ll keep it on in the background. Someone Yell at me if it gets close.

What's your cell phone number?
better yet... leave us your SS#
Isn't that the Crazy Beeyotch Hotline?
588-2300
Garfield 1, 2 3 2 3. Garfield 1, 2 3 2 3.
Keep on Keepin On!
Sunshine day!
starting to really like seeing EPatt in there
Three innings is a LOTTTTTA baseball to play.

Who’s pitching the seventh?

DeRosa
"I'm a utility man, Lou!

What you need? Coffee? Pitching? Massage?”

Marmol and Wood

both for good measure

I wanted 6 runs... we've got 3... hmmmm...
We need a BB and a granny.
Well, both of my maternal grandparents have passed away.

But I could probably pick up some BBs at Wal-Mart.

Hey, I see Ward in game-day!

looks like this game was as bad as my meeting.

well, we got three back...
Three every inning ties it up...
Or puts us up one in real math.
i think 3x4 is 12, so we'd win
I correct myself first.

I win.

Corrected*

God, I give up.

true. congratulations.
Darn!

Well, thats a start on the come back

heartbeat returns to normal
3 each inning is all we need
if we win this one I'll get pierced, tatted, and tipped
Y'know we WILL hold you to that.
With pictures.
The only true way to document it.
who gave up the additional 4

after I left? Lieber?

Yosh is singing

someone find a pic of him looking hot to post on here

Did he get a new hat?

I know the old one is in the HOF.

looked like it

they were saying somethign about it, but i was on the phone and missed it

I think

he is donating it after the season

Awesome!

I love the fact that they have a banner hanging down on the concourse of Yosh!

wait, they k'd roberts?
nice

Wuertz looking good

Please drill Roberts

Just kidding.

Not really.

Yes I am

No I’m not.

It would be nice to see

him really suck it the rest ofthe game, but no injuries. Maybe he will be a Cub someday, lol!

One more out-

Then D. Lee can get off the snide…

He's on the bench, no report if he's off the snide...
that snide is a tough habit to kick. had to wear a snide patch for years...
I heard the gum is more effective...
hmmm

Wuertz’s fb movin really well

Sing it!

Yosh Yosh Yosh!

great inning
OK, well now we need 5 more next inning...

... to make it… um.. interesting. :)

I'll see your 5 and raise you 5
Alright, now.

Three more…at least.

awww this is touching

go Yosh

Who's up there with him?

Sounds like there are three or four people up there on the radio.

Billy Williams was one of them
That's great.

Good to see the Cubs honor a truly classy and great man like Yosh.

how nice

this is the kind of people that should be singing the stretch

START THE COUNTDOWN

WE NEED 3 THIS INNING!

ask and ye shall receive...

COME ON HOUGH POWER!

Too bad she sings worse than

Ditka.

She can sing however she wants....
Uh, not really.

It sounded like a cat was being strangled.

I was actually at the game...

...and you know it sounds bad when you can hear it, off key, when 40,000 other people are singing along at the top of their lungs.

where did you get a picture of my girlfriend??!!
you're going out with my mother???
sorry, I have no willpower
weird....

sorry for looking at your mom ballhawk

that's ok. it's amazing what modern medicine and a little nip/tuck can do these days...

...though it did cost me my inheritance. ;-)

Your lose is our gain : )
Game? What game?
MMMM POWER
Power and beer make love the ivy go something something
Murton in, Cedeno in, then Edmonds..
twss
She would say that, wouldn't she...
She must be tired.
It would take alot out...

....putting that much in…..

Ok I’ll stop. Sorry!

I can't even see the envelope

you pushed it so far.

As Carlin said "Find that line and cross it"
Parker and Stone said

if one thing is off-limits, everything is. Therefore, nothing is off-limits.

Those two guys are geniuses...
Damn right.

They always find the perfect balance between message and humor. Definitely one of those shows I’ll got out of my way to see.

Couldn't have said it any better.

It’s amazing how they balance message and humor.

Was that intentional?

Saying you couldn’t have said it better then repeating, almost word for word, what I wrote?

Yes...

I actually meant to use quotes to give you credit and so you know what part I was refering to…

Wow, that looked really intelligent on my part. Sorry about that…

"so you knew"

I might have to put the keyboard down…

It's that kind of day.
No, I figured you weren't being ignorant.

Just dryly humorous. And I loves me some dry humor.

Normally, I would have tried to...

...add the dry humor. Spreadsheets have absorbed my dryness…

Numbers will kill you.
The O pitcher has a weird delivery
really weird
He's from Australia

and it looks almost like something you’d see in a cricket match

would that explain why he pitches from

down under??

well played, my man
Here starts this innings 3 run rally!
too early for a beer-count?
Well

That makes a lot more work for the next couple innings

guys that's my bad

i posted the unlucky hough pic… i’ll get the right one next inning

Two four run innings is all!

We can win it in extra

there is a ... squirrel?..... under the ivy?
Squirrel in the ivy

Orioles outfielders are gonna have lunch

Wonder what Ozzy's going to say about that
twss?
denied
You've never heard that old euphemism

“Squirrel in the ivy” before?

(I’m ignoring the second part)

something tells me I'm gonna regret saying this, but no I haven't.

then again, never underestimate the power of BCB to educate folks. Do tell… if you can get it by the censors…

I'd never heard it before today

but I think we can figure out for ourselves what the squirrel and ivy represent…

Rodents and foliage?
Of course.

What else?

Nah I'm only messing

it sounds like some crazy backwoods slang term for something though ….

substitute beaver for squirrel and you may have something

Hey-Oooooo!

dammit!

that was how we were passing signs! From the score-board to the squirrel to Fontenot!

Super Hamster and

the squirrel are related. need photoshop of squirrel with surfer mullet.

ok if the squirrel is water-skiing?
I just want to say "good luck"...

... we’re all counting on you.

i am serious

and don’t call me shirley

I thought I was seeing things..... too much to drink I thought... LOL
Ozzie just said happy anniversary again..

Please sweep them Cubs.

oops I misspelled Ozzie up there
inning over... way to go Howry
come on cubbies score 4
Five-run eighth.

I feel it.

Maybe if we all feel it together

It’ll actually happen…?

What are we feeling exactly?

Has it been washed?

Care Bears... CARE!

I'm in...
Good.

who else is on board?

I'm all for feeling
Me too,

If she’s pretty…

I'm a going be feeling...
it's more than a feeling
See my Mary Anne walking away...
I sense some bad 80s music ahead...
too late - it's already here...

hey look - it's those furry things from that Star Trek episode

(tribbles?)

This reminds me why

I am sooo happy I stayed a glimmer in my parent’s eyes for a few more years. Thank you Grunge!

"Guys, she's willing to give us a deal on these haircuts if we all...

...get the same one.”

It looks like

the singer’s haircut has a haircut.

A Haircut 100, if you will...
[love] +1

sorry – someone had to do it…

I'm really lost.

Haircut 100?

[love] +1?

Haircut 100

was another hair band from the 80s, like Kajagoogoo (pic above), A flock of Seagulls, and the Thompson Twins.

Brilliant.

And now I know.

(I originally typed that “And know I now.” I need to go home)

Love Plus One was their big (only?) hit

actually pretty good as far as one hit wonders go…

Okay...

Is that what Faith+1 on South Park was a joke on, then?

I've had "Say Hello, Wave Goodbye" stuck in my head for days now.

Thankfully it’s the David Gray cover, but still.

I feel it, majot runs to come starting now!
You should have that checked out. You could become dehydrated...
is this like all-star voting?

25x

come on fontenot,
Oh boy

still feeling it

You'll go blind!
I don't have an "it" to literally feel

so mine was totally mental, but I bet there are a lot palms needing haircuts around here

Hmm...

I’m unsure of the transient properties of said blindness, but you could still be in danger.

FEEL IT

There's that guy again....a sign for all!
Respect the Sign...
Good night .. just turned on the set .. what in the WORLD happened
You're just in time for the come from behind victory!
marquis happened
LOL! I like that...
you mean .. the Evil Marquis has returned???

Is that Bark Vader?
No...

I am your…badly dressed dog.

His schwartz wasn't as big as Liz's schwartz
Now we're cookin!
ward 1b fontenot to third
When you see WGN Cameras focusing on

a girl shaking her butt while showing the W flag and a squirrel with an 8 run Cub deficit in the 8th inning .. it does not bode well ..

I just got in from work .. what happened???

A train-wreck of epic proportions.
A 3 run jack would make this QUITE interesting...
or at least...

... more interesting.

If we could actually make them sweat - that would rock.
Keep feeling it guys!

And I don’t care how you are feeling it but don’t stop!

Hooked on a feeling. I'm High on believing...
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII'm hooked on a feeling...
Ooga shocka!!
ha!

just had that stuck in my head

Twas my first 45
I'm feeling it man!
come on theriot.....
:::::::::feeling::::::::::
Every little bit helps - 11-4
Well, Then. I'm In Time To Watch The Epic Rally Of All Time

I hope there’s details at 11 ..

Said the old man as he took a leak into the ocean.
Swung at the first pitch - idot.
only 7 to tie......
Scored 9 in the 4th on Saturday.

7 or 8 in the 9th today is NOTHING.

Well of topic: Bucks trade Yi, Simmons to Nets for Jefferson
Well OFF topic
Tampa Bay?

Buccaneers?

Here’s a joke by an Iowan… How much does corn cost in Tampa Bay??

A buck an ear.

I hear crickets singing.. LOL
And one solitary gentleman coughing.

quick outs here
Only 1 Cubs named to the futures game

Wellington Castillo, Catcher.

wow - what a cool name.

A British Latin American?

Kinda like that Russian Dominican, Vladimir Guerrero…

Or that Italian Puerto Rican

Geovany Soto

And of course

Jacque Jones (French Welshman)

Juan Pierre (Spanish Frenchman)

These Cubs still have fight in them!

Lee didn't break Young's face, but Pujols did.
Poohole got tired of just

being totally awesome and decided to make baseball more of a challenge by beating people nearly to death. He got two starters in the that game. Probably has a list on his wall at home with a black sharpie next to it.

no hr's today??!!
O's down... come on Cubbies let put some run up!
Nice play by Cotts
got mine on
At work...

but I have a little stuffed bear with a Cubs helmet on that I just turned upside down.

7 RUNS~!

And now...

...the greatest Cubs comeback of ALL TIME!!!

pick's to click?

sorry

come on Murton.....
Set the TIVO!!!

It’s rally time!!

1 out.....
....1 pitch

What happened to the patient-hitting Matt Murton?

2 out
Was that two pitches?
Way to be patient Matt....
I mean.

Murton, can you do something else?

Murton blows raw monkey.

Sorry, Matt. But you really do.

Yo Malice... I've got Raw Monkey on line one - he'd like a word with you...
now the rally will get even more epic !

Steve says

Hey Chicago, whaddya say, the Cubs are gonna WIN today!

7 to tie, 8 to win, we ain't dead yet!

oh wait – Cotts is batting… I guess we are…

and you weren't out shagging balls today?
for the first five innings - then the wind shifted and blew some sense back into me
You could have got a Neal Cotts HR ..

Oh wait, I’m on the other side of the Timewarp

well

I’ve lost that comeback feeling. Whoa that comeback feeling.

MMMM .. the Koolaid is good today
grape coolaid?
LOL!!!

That was the weakest-ending to a baseball game ever. Oh, well…U.S. Hellular Field, here we come!

WOW. Cotts batting. SUPER.
The SLUGGING NEIL COTTS, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN.
poop

that is all

bartender,

Jack

Barkeep,

Make mine Southern Comfort, or I’ll puke!

I'll hold your hair back
Yet another example of why Cedeno & Murton

are not starting…

Looks like the beginning of the End, everyone

Let me be the first to say it ..

Sarcasm?
NO, I'm absolutely Dead Serious. ..

I want to fully affirm all of the people who are going to Insist That The Cubs Are Going To Fall Short

Could have done without the pic.

Thanks. :(

You want to "affirm" them?

Isn’t that illegal in Illinois?

better break out the Jim Jones grape koolaid and pass it around.. LOL jeesh
has your screen name been hijacked cubnational????

Surely only a Cards or Sux fan would post such a gut wrenching photo

im being a wise guy folks, calm down ..

you know i was kiddin

sure you did, put down that tomato, son

I hate that picture
Same here.

It’s been used against us far too many times.

that pic is a heartbreaker
yeah, i do too

the point is Im waiting for some Cubs “fan” prophet of doom to come in and inform us how this is the turning point of the season and we’re just in for the let down ..

you're all right .. cause I felt the same way that night

my marriage almost ended because of that

Bluemike, Bluemike....
should I be insulted?
maybe I'm just not hitting it right

but I can never recall being in a thread where this guy ticks everyone off .. but boy does his reputation sadly precede him .

the end of what?

I sure hope that is sarcasm!

Cue spooky Doors music...
Chalk this one up to a little

too much partying for Rami’s Birthday last night.

Get em tomorrow!

Gotta run guys and gals, it’s been real and it’s been fun. I wish I could say it was real fun.

Whiskey no ice…

Hope thats a joke??
This one actually stung more than...

...Lieber’s disastrous start in Cincinnati. At least Volquez was pitching in that game. The Cubs just pwned by Liz (?!) at Wrigley Field. Oh, well. It’s only one game – and the Cards still lost.

So I take it

Cotts didn’t hit the game-winning Double Slam?

Leave it to Cotts to fail in the clutch!
Guess-hacking relief pitcher.
It's like he doesn't even PRACTICE hitting!
He needs to get in the film room, take some extra swings in BP...

...this slide he’s on is embarassing!

Well...

11-3 is better than 11-0. :)

and 11-4, ...
Even better!!!
well, time to get revved up to kill the sux
Well, the bed was certainly shat today...

... but remember what happended immediately following the last two gut-wrenching series (Pittsburgh and TB). Winning streaks!

Anyone gonna tune into the draft tonight?
I thought baseball already drafted...
I prefer bottles
Look out Sox, pent-up Cubbie rage is moving south on the radar.
On the brighter side,

Dward is back to fill his rightful position as DH.

accompanied by a regiment or two of some bad-ass weight lifting rats!
Make my Kool-Aid blue! Ohhh Yeah!!!!

Anyone ever eaten a packet of that?

Don’t.

what, you don't like Country Time lemonade mix chewed with bubble gum?
ok, now I gotta go find out why.....
As a child.

Days later – “Hey mommy, I think I’m sick, look, green.”

win or lose,

I love this place!

and my Cubbies!!!

Later folks

We'll get em tomorrow and

the day after that and the day after that one.

My broom's a-waiting.
remember kids, this is was looking to be the most difficult month of the year

and we are 14-9 on the month. Plus we are 4.5 games up on the Cardinals and 5.5 up on the Brewers. Today hurt, but this is just one of many that they have left to play this year.

GO CUBS!! lets get em tomorrow.

Nah, it didn't really hurt

it’s just a bump in the road.

Rich Harden Ks 11 in Oakland.

Gives up 2 hits and 0 ERs in 8 innings.

Brace yourself for an MDBNIU shitstorm, fellow BCBers. You have been warned.

Has anyone put any thought in acquiring this Harden character?
WHO??
That's what I'm wondering.

If only there was someone who could inform me on this perplexing enigma…

Brace yourself...he'll show

up with guns blazin.

No, why do you ask?
Doesn't ring a bell.
No need to make excuses Lou

sometimes the guys just collectively don’t play well. No skin off my knee. This game doesn’t count for a whole lot.

So, is CC worth the effort?

At least Barry Zito’s detained .. phew ..

Depends on what they demand

It appears to me Gallagher is much more important considering Marquis is a big question mark for this team. He is not going deep into games, and unless Veal can step it up, I don’t see Gallagher being included in this deal. However, if somehow Hill pulls off a miracle and redeems himself, then we could possibly afford to lose Gallagher, but I wouldn’t hold my breath.

Gallagher is good.

He might one day be great. However, in order to get a good player in return, sometimes you have to let go of somebody you might not want to. Gallagher could be this guy. In ‘84, Mel Hall was playing great for the Cubs, I though he’d be great- then whoosh- both he and Carter are gone. Big Red went 16-1 in the 2nd half. If we can get someone like Burnett, Harang, even Sabathia- pair him with Z, along with Dempster & Lilly. No need for Gallagher.

Whoa

I just notciced the Sox have a long flight ahead of them tonight – they are still playing in LA. Sucks for them.

Last week...

... some Sox fans were saying that about the Cubbies, who played a night game on Thursday and then flew back to Chicago for an afternoon game.

I again offer the Cubs my services, wearing Marquis' jersey, for a whole lot less. Just pennies on the dollar. You know where to find me, Jim.
Found ya.

Be at the clubhouse tomorrow. Marquis is going to the shrink.

Excellent. I assume I'll be asked to pinch run if it's a close game, pinch hit if it's not. : )
Hoooo Boy

Good thing I missed this mess!

It’s sort of like spring training – all you can do is hope no one got hurt. So please tell me no injuries today…pleeeeeze?

Eyre

left with a groin injury.

Shows why it was inportant

to not squander away Tuesday’s game…..

3-6 against the bottom of the AL East

Huh?

Tampa Bay is the “bottom” of the AL East?

Baltimore is at least 4-5 games over .500.

And the Cubs took 2 of 3 from Toronto (and probably should have swept).

Ai, yi, yi, kcjones, there you go again.

How was your steak?
Which one?

I’m usually pretty clueless anyway, but I’m not sure I follow you.

I'll betcha Tampa...

Does not finish 1 or 2 in the AL East.

Didn't you have a steak in Tampa?
I went to Toronto, not Tampa

(Thank heavens, as it turned out.)

I have a friend in St. Pete, and every time I’m there, I go to Berns Steak House in Tampa. If you ever go to that area, you have to eat there. I don’t know where you’ve eaten, but it might be the best overall restaurant experience I’ve ever had. (And, surprisingly, it doesn’t cost an arm and a leg.)

The food in Toronto was outstanding (no steak, however).

My bad...

Reread that post…I misunderstood. Never been To Berns…..but looked it up after your post and have been eager to “take a ride” over there.

You anywhere near Supprosa or Papa Del’s? If so, PLEASE send some down…..

Unfortunately, no

It’s about 90 miles to Papa Del’s and 150to Superosa. No good pizza in Peoria.

Are you in Orlando? I know people over there who drive to Tampa just to eat at Berns.

Yea...I heard they closed the Penguin Tap
I'm in Jupiter....(East coast...Just north of West Palm Beach)

I grew up in Peoria…...How long have you been there?

There are Peorians everywhere

I even stood next to a guy in Toronto who was a Cubs fan from Peoria but lives up there now. Amazing.

I grew up in the Chicago area but came here to go to school (Bradley). Aside from about three years split between Missouri and North Dakota, I’ve been in Peoria the last 27 years. I like it here very much.

What part of town are you from? What high school did you go to? And how did you end up in Jupiter? (It’s a long way to go from there to Tampa just for dinner, but if you find other reason to be in that area, Berns is a must-stop.)

Went to high school where they don the green and white.
Lived (way) out War Memorial Drive when it was two lanes just past “the mall.” (B4 rte. 6)
Willlow Knolls Road used to have a 1 lane wood bridge over the railroad tracks :) !!
My P’s live close by the casino now.
The Screw-> Westchester-->Portage Park--> Beverly-—> boss who didn’t like pulling the boat out of Waukeegan Harbor every winter….my lease was up and I left. (and have never looked back)

A good steak or Pizza is worth the drive!! :)

CAT?

One of the few non-Cat people

I work in the local media, dead-tree version. Cat is going great guns here now, but when I arrived in town in the early ‘80s, that certainly wasn’t the case. Will the last one out of Peoria please turn off the lights?

As I’m sure you now know, there are two “malls” on War Memorial. The real action (and good neighborhoods) here anymore are all north of War.

And Richwoods still has only the third-best high school basketball program in town, behind Manual and Central (although the RHS girls did win a state title a few years ago).

You mention Westchester and Beverly. Are you referring to the western Chicago suburb and the southern Chicago neighborhood, respectively?

Yes...Yes...

Does the word Scarborough mean anything?

(although the RHS girls did win a state title a few years ago).

They took one when I went there…...also a Football one was had the year after I left….

(and good neighborhoods) here anymore are all north of War.

Some things never change….

But I think it’s somewhat respectible to live on the east side of the river now…..

Do u no....

Bill Liese?

I grew up in Westchester

My parents still live there. And I have a ton of family in Beverly. My grandparents moved there from Roseland in the early 1970s. This is crazy. Is Scarborough a street in Westchester now? (I haven’t lived there in almost 30 years, so I’ve lost track of a lot of the “newer” neighborhoods on the south side of town.)

So you must have been at RHS when Nora Lewis played there. And the football state title came in either Peeler’s last year or one of them, so you graduated from RHS around 1983 or 84?

And without “outing” myself too much, Bill Liesse is my boss.

84....

Ask Bill about Terrepin Station…..ask bill if “Phil Favorite” rings any bells….no..I’m not Phil…

Used to live in apt.s by Pingatore’s (Italinan Rest.) at Cermack and Wolf…

Used to live in a “flat” by 111th and Kedzie…and took clases at Xav. (Beverly sounds better than Mt. Greenwood…hey …I ought a get a medal….South side Cubs Fan…:)...))

I used to play baseball w/ Greg Peeler (coach Peeler’s son_)..It was Nov. 85…ask the boys in Deerfield (not beach) bout that….

And I’m a peon..but I meant Scarb. Research…

I've known Greg Stewart....

a long time too…...he prob. hates me…..but can’t changee the past…...

Bill is the biggest Deadhead I know

And I know of Phil Favorite but never have met him. I take it you know he and Bill from U of I?

I know exactly where those apartments are. Pingatore’s, as I’m sure you know, was owned by the basketball coach at my alma mater, St. Joseph High School (Class of 1981).

Or maybe you are (hence your name). My grandparents lived near 115th and Western—my grandad was another South Side Cubs fan, who helped turn me on to them in the late ‘60s.

I know Coach Peeler a little but am more acquainted with Coach Butler. Still see him on the golf course a lot. And I still don’t think the Deerfield boys know what hit them.

I see Stewart almost every day—known him over 10 years. We run hot and cold.

Cubs fans! Seems like this is the tumultuous area where Cubdom and Cards country meet. i am in Canton, which only puts me about 30 miles west of Peoria. Keep up the Cubbie fight!
