Cubs vs. Braves!

[GOPisEvil]

2-0 Cubs!!!!

Randall Simon comes through!!!

[greatauntoftriplets]

1. Lord Jesus God!

That happened in about 2 secs. I have the webpage up, and had checked it a very short time ago, but didn't know until I saw your thread! Woo hoo for Cubs fans from Austin. flush_bush is another.

[GOPisEvil]

2. Er, um, actually, I'm a

Cardinals fan. (ducks rotten tomatoes)

But, I don't much care for the Braves, and I'd love to shut up those that think the NL Central is a weak division.

I might mix in a lunch with flush_bush Sunday. I'll have to call him up. We talked a little last night. He said I should go to Chicago when he goes in January. Uh...I went last October and that was bad enough. :scared:

[greatauntoftriplets]

5. Well, we will forgive you this one time.

flush_bush and I are getting together when he is here in January and I briefly mentioned on a thread yesterday with Susang about a get-together here with chicago DUers when flush_bush is here. Of course, January weather here is usually unspeakable. However, last October was better than this one has been...so far.

[GOPisEvil]

7. I hung out with Susang, mkuhl, XNASA, Prolesunited...

...GASPnes came from MN...Oh, and GinaMaria. We had a great time!

I need to go back! Heck, if I found a good job, I'd move. I loved Chicago! Cold or not.

[greatauntoftriplets]

24. I know you did, have met them all except GASPnes and GinaMaria,

plus some others. I work in the suburbs and could not make it that night.

[GOPisEvil]

25. Giordano's...yum...

We have decent Chicago style pizza here, but Giordano's won the unofficial DU taste testing! I am jonesing for it like Rush joneses for OxyContin. :9

[greatauntoftriplets]

26. And then there is Gino's and Uno's

Also a place on the South Side and in the southwest 'burbs called Home Run Inn. Excellent pizza joints. Gino's and Uno's are deep dish, Home Run Inn is not.

[GOPisEvil]

27. I think we ate at both of those too!

I know we ate at 3 places that first night I was there. *stuffed*

I ate an awesome sandwich at Due that week, too. :9

[greatauntoftriplets]

29. Due is related to Uno's

Did you go to Greektown? Roditys is wonderful.

[GOPisEvil]

30. No, that's one part of town I missed.

Considering that I am Greek, :spank:

[Droopy]

6. Reds fan here but I'm with you

I'm rooting for the Cubs. I hate the Braves.

[Cocoa]

19. Cards fan, eh?

:-)

[GOPisEvil]

20. Argh!!!!

Of all teams - he has to be a Cardinals fan! x(

[madrchsod]

8. i almost thought you wrote

ronnie woo-woo. well maybe the cubs can pull this off...

[jenk]

3. GO CUBBIES!

Coming from a Mets fan who hates the Braves more.

[Droopy]

4. I was wondering where that cubs thread was

I was about to start one myself. They got to Maddux early, but I wouldn't be surprised to see him settle down and throw five scoreless innings. Prior better be on his game tonight and keep the Braves shutdown.

[Toby109]

9. Ah, come on!

The Braves are a TURTLE team. That is, a team that is good over the long haul. Isn't that what we Dems aspire to?

Well, that's the best I could come up with. We don't want to be the HARE team , do we?

[GOPisEvil]

10. It's that damned chop...I can't stand that.

A Brave walks with two outs and here comes the fake organ duh duh duh...and that stupid chop thing...ugh.

[Toby109]

11. Agreed, chop sucks

But Bobby Cox is a Democrat.

:evilgrin:

[GOPisEvil]

12. But, but, but...he hit his wife!!!!!

:P

</insane freeper saddam mode>

Edit - actually I like Bobby as a manager. Some good guys on that team too.

[Toby109]

13. How dare you?

When I have it on good authority that I, myself, have twice been convicted on felony assault charges. How dare you bring up my past in this manner? What will we tell the children?

[GOPisEvil]

14. We'll feed the children the "Stepford Child Program"

They'll be fine! :D

[Toby109]

15. Yea, you're right

Drug the children. Damn, Prior seems to have good stuff tonight. Shit...

[GOPisEvil]

16. He's throwing lots of pitches though...

...ugly walk to Andruw

[bearfan454]

17. I'm a White Sox fan

But I will love it if the Cubbies do good. Wrigley Field and bratwursts just seem to go together to me. Know what I mean folks ?

[nini]

18. How can anyone not secretly want the Cubs to take it all?

YOu've got to love it.. I wanna see history!


Go Cubbies!!

[Toby109]

21. Wait a minute!?!

I thought you were a diehard Cardinal. :wtf: A true Cardinal fan would not be rooting for the Cubs. Sorry to be the one to bring that up.

[GOPisEvil]

23. I know...I am tormented...

I am really pulling for the Marlins...they are the one team I have no animosity toward.

The Giants - I am still pissed about Jeffrey Leonard and the "One Flap Down" home run trot in 1987...I need to let stuff go. :silly:

Braves - Bzzt!

Cubs - Well...I'm not really pulling for the Cubs so much as I am rooting against the Braves. :P

[Loyal]

22. Go Cubbies, I want you to make it to the series...

so you can lose to my Yankees. :)

[opiate69]

28. 4 Errors!!!!!!!! ROTFLMAO!

Hehe.. I usually don't give a second thought to the NL, being a Mariners fan, but the only team I hate as much as the Yankees are the Braves! Go Cubs!

[greatauntoftriplets]

31. I was in Seattle two weeks ago!

Mariners have a beautiful stadium. So do the Seahawks.

[opiate69]

32. Yep.. I love Safeco Field...

Haven't been to the 'Haks' new stadium yet.. not too sure I ever will.. can't see spending $75 for tickets... unless I can get some comps...

[greatauntoftriplets]

33. Oh, I wasn't in either.

Saw them from the streets only. But Seattle is a beautiful city, really enjoyed my visit there.

[opiate69]

34. Cool..

Just make sure you tell everybody you know that it rained like hell...we wouldn't want too many people realizing it's been unbelievebly gorgeous for pretty much 6 months. ;)

[greatauntoftriplets]

35. Okay, as you say.

It never stopped raining when I was there (except for most of the time, LOL).

[TheZoo]

36. Rain!

If the rain comes they run and hide their heads.
They might as well be dead.
If the rain comes, if the rain comes.
When the sun shines they slip into the shade
(When the sun shines down.)
And drink their lemonade.
(When the sun shines down.)
When the sun shines, when the sun shines.
Rain, I don't mind.
Shine, the weather's fine.
I can show you that when it starts to rain,
(When the sun shines down.)
Everything's the same.
(When the sun shines down.)
I can show you, I can show you.
Rain, I don't mind.
Shine, the weather's fine.
Can you hear me, that when it rains and shines,
(When the sun shines down.)
It's just a state of mind?
(When the sun shines down.)
Can you hear me, can you hear me?
If the rain comes they run and hide their heads.
sdaeh rieht edih dna nur yeht semoc niar eht fI.
(Rain)
naiR.
(Rain)

[greatauntoftriplets]

37. OK, I cannot tell a lie.

It rained two nights that I was there and into one morning. Other than that, the weather was beautiful.

[opiate69]

38. Out of curiousity...

Were you able to make it out to the mountains at all, or was it more of a working trip?

[xray s]

39. 3-1; 3 outs to go!

Fingers crossed!

[xray s]

40. 2 outs to go!!
