Jim must be looking through the couch cushions to get the 25 cents now.

Apparently I inhaled too much smoke while clearing the bonfire pit today,

3 out of 4 is a good thing!:-)

A couple of articles to tide us over during the break.

One to make us laugh: 5 people you are guaranteed to meet at Wrigley. Our beloved Admiral is listed first!:-)

HAHA, I hate the cubs, but went there with my Mom's husband last week. Pleanty of Dueschebags abound.

I won't disagree with that assessment.:-)

At least one more than usual for certain. :-)

I definitely won;t disagree with that assessment.:-):-)

Having a White Sox fan call you a douchebag is the biggest compliment a Cubs fan could get. :-)
[Reply]

I really am a rude guy by your standards then Tom:-)


Predictions for 2nd half for the cubs Tom and Sean?

I think the sox can make it if there pen and hitting stays decent.

Well, we are only 3.5 games out. Bats were coming alive before the break, and pitching is holding in there. I like our chances of winning the division.

The Sox just needed to get the bats going. It was a rough dry spell for you guys there.

We're both lucky that the Centrals are both still competitive.
[Reply]

Exactly, I think that both teams will be in the hunt come late september if not winning their divisions. By the way, the sox have NEVER been to a post season 2 years in a row:-) So the odds are not in my favor....
[Reply]

You? Not so much, but at least one other Sox fan got under my skin a bit. :-)

I think the NL Central is a crapshoot....if Milwaukee makes another trade deadling move like last year (C.C.), they could be a big factor. The Cards can always be a factor, and Houston and Cinci are keeping it close too.

I like the Cubs pitching, so I think the bats dictate whether they make a run at the division or wild card.....Milton needs to get hot, Aramis needs to get hot, D. Lee needs to stay hot, and Fukidome can't just crap his pants again. That's a lot of "ifs", so I think this one is too crazy to call.

The Sox? Not sure they can keep up with Detroit, but they have the tools..... if they can just put it all together, they have a shot.

What about Fonzi? I say trade his sorry ass. Or just sit him out until he gives the cubs something more than a AA player. Same with Milton. Those two players get under my skin. They just didn't give the cubs anything this first half.
