Ya'll better watch the Cubs game on 7/30

Coffee Warlord · 07-07-2005, 06:39 PM

Why, you ask?

...guess who has dugout box seats in the front row for a Cubs game at the end of the month?

Desnudo · 07-07-2005, 06:44 PM

Mia Hamm?

BigJohn&TheLions · 07-07-2005, 06:49 PM

The undead Sonny Bono?

you better make a FOFC Banner and wear a hat or shirt that says FOFC.

Farrah Whitworth-Rahn · 07-07-2005, 07:04 PM

I think you should wear your robe and wizard hat.

Easy Mac · 07-07-2005, 07:17 PM

Wear the penguin...wear the penguin.

Vince · 07-07-2005, 07:39 PM

Just think, you will most likely get a camera on ya with a penguin on your head

TazFTW · 07-07-2005, 08:25 PM

A really big inflatable penguin.

Buddy of mine bought a t-shirt with that on it, and it *mysteriously* got ruined in the wash while he was away fishing. He wasn't very happy with the missus about that one.

JeeberD · 07-08-2005, 08:53 AM

I got to sit in the "Commisioner's Box" at The Ballpark (or I guess they're calling Ameriquest these days) earlier in the year...it was a totally awesome experience. We were directly to the left of the Rangers dugout, could see right in. First row and everything, it was a great experience.

It's nice having a big bro who works for the local rag's sports dept and can get nice tickets for free from time to time.

Coffee Warlord · 07-08-2005, 09:02 AM

I'm actually almost directly behind home plate. So theoretically, my ugly mug will be on TV the majority of the game.

As will the penguin.

hhiipp · 07-08-2005, 09:07 AM

Can you be the guy on the cell phone who waits for the person on the other end to tell him he's on tv so he can start waving like an idiot and force them to switch which camera they are showing?

I fervently believe in the death penalty for people like that. When I'm running the world, those people -- plus the people who hold up the line in a convenience store while they fill out the numbers for each of their many lottery tickets -- will suffer gruesome, horrible deaths.

sterlingice · 07-08-2005, 04:41 PM

Woo. It's on WGN so we all can see the penguin. D'oh, it won't matter- I'll be on vacation. Someone grab some screenshots when the time comes!

SI

Loren · 07-08-2005, 05:31 PM

There was a pretty cool "cell phone guy" on the other day, think it was a red sox game, he didnt do the normal waving thing but did a dance

..YOU better do a DANCE!! and wear neon pink or orange or something...
and i hope the cubs lose

no offense

Coffee Warlord · 07-29-2005, 09:42 AM

I'll be the guy in a nicely obnoxious black hawaiian shirt, sitting next to a hot chick.

Now you're just being rude.

I think this is going to be a great finish to the season actually. Astros are playing out the world, and the Cubs aren't doing too badly either. Consider that the Cubs will be getting Nomar and Williamson shortly along with the fact that the two play each other about a million more times.

It's going to be a fun ride however it turns out.

Man, the past two seasons have been crazy. Started off the year 15-30 and have gone 40-17 since...the best record in the majors over that period. Hopefully we can keep on hitting the ball cause I don't think our pitching is going anywhere. The starters have been phenomenal...

You're right...it should be a great finish. However, I'm hoping that when Nomar comes back it'll be the death knell for the Cubbies...the man is more trouble than he's worth.

The thing that scares me is the possibility of the Mets getting Soriano. That should really make the wildcard race interesting...

Cuckoo · 07-29-2005, 11:21 AM

FoxSports.com is reporting that the Cubs have entered the picture for Soriano as well. Not sure where they're getting the information, though, as I read most of the Chicago papers and haven't heard that. Maybe I missed it.

Coffee Warlord · 07-29-2005, 11:27 AM

Sun times is reporting the same about Soriano.

Ahh, yeah I hadn't read Sun Times specifically today. Interesting article, though. Of all the bats out there, Soriano would be one of the best, although I'd say the Cubs need a lefty more than a righty probably. I would think if the Cubs did it, it would have to include Patterson.

JeeberD · 07-29-2005, 11:56 AM

Have y'all seen Soriano's home/road splits for this year? Not pretty...

Code:

SPLIT 	AB 	R 	H 	2B 	3B 	HR 	RBI 	BB 	HBP 	SO 	SB 	CS 	AVG 	OBP 	SLG 	OPS
Home 	205	39	66	17	1	18	48	10	1	33	6	2	.322	.353	.678	1.031
Away 	192	30	46	10	0	7	20	8	2	46	8	0	.240	.276	.401	.677

Of coure, Wrigley is a hitters park, so he could still put up good numbers there. I guess I better hope he goes to the pitchers park that Shae is...

jbmagic · 07-29-2005, 12:27 PM

Make a sign that says FOFC

so we really know its you

Cuckoo · 07-29-2005, 04:39 PM

Well, I never saw you (although I admit I didn't really look too hard).

But that was a pretty nice game to be at I would guess - nice performance for Prior and a comeback win in the bottom of the 9th.

Edit: Ahh, just realized you'll be at tomorrow's game. I really need to pay more attention.

terpkristin · 07-30-2005, 03:35 PM

Yeah you know, I doubt I'll see you. But I'm flipping between the MLS All Star game and the Cubbies game just cuz you said to. And I'm bored out of my gourd.

Coffee Warlord · 07-30-2005, 07:56 PM

You would have seen me pretty much all game. I was first row right behind the advertising sign. We were pretty much on camera all game. Green t-shirt and sunglasses.

The confusing part woulda been no hawaian shirt. Top button tore off it in the laundry, so I woulda looked even MORE ridiculous in it.

JeeberD · 07-30-2005, 07:59 PM

Well you should have told us that you were changing shirts. Sheesh...

Bad scouting report...I wasn't looking for a green shirt.

davidlando1 · 07-31-2005, 03:38 PM

Too bad I forgot about this thread, I was there, 3rd base line, 8 rows up from the Cubs bullpen. Beautiful day, dissapointing game.

Raven Hawk · 07-31-2005, 04:28 PM

I didn't see no Penguin!
