New Blog: UW Dawg Pound launches! Bar-right-arrows



BCB Site Note

Trei has let all of us know that BCB (and other SBN sites that have already been migrated to the new platform) will all be down for approximately two hours tonight (early Wednesday morning) at 1 am CDT. That's a slow time here anyway, so hopefully it won't affect any of you too much.

The purpose is for a server upgrade.

Just wanted to give all of you a heads-up on this.

This is a FanPost and does not necessarily reflect the views of SB Nation, Bleed Cubbie Blue, or Al Yellon, editor-in-chief. FanPost opinions are, however, valued expressions of opinion by passionate and knowledgeable baseball fans.

What makes you think Al sleeps ?

Cubs games, Work, Kids, Blog
He has no time to waste sleeping.

I did hear he took a cat nap in 06 but it was SUCH a bad season.

And that nap was during a pitching change!

There were a lot of pitching changes in '06.

Got more sleep then.

Pitching changes and double-switches.

Far too many of both.

Ugh. Don’t want to remember that at all.

Well I figure he doesn’t sleep and that two hours might give him a chance to try it.

not sure what's on from 1-2 am in Chicago...

...but from 2-3 am, if you’re dying for a baseball fix, tune into Ch. 11 for the re-broadcast of the PBS American Experience documentary on Roberto Clemente.

Thanks for the reminder

I forgot this was coming up. What a man he was, what an example, and a fine ball player too. Time to crank up my DVR.

"He's not pining, he's passed on. This parrot is no more. He has ceased to be. He's expired and gone to meet his maker. He's a stiff, bereft of life, he rests in peace. If you hadn't have nailed him to the perch he'd be pushing up the daisies. He's rung down the curtain and joined the choir invisible. This is an ex-parrot!"

Here are two fan video's from the seats that captured Aramis' clutch home run last night.  I always enjoy checking out Youtube the day after to see what it was like from a fans perspective after big plays.
Show Us Your BCB T-Shirt

I ran this idea by Al, and he liked it. I thought I'd be fun to get folks to upload pictures of them in their BCB t-shirt.  It gives more exposure to Project 3000 and is also a fun way to share who we are. 

Al noted "It would be especially cool if people who don't live in Chicago would take the photo at a recognizable location in wherever they live. If you do this, remind people that it's just for fun -- I know some are sensitive about privacy, but if anyone is willing to post a pic like this, it'd be great."

So let's see it, BCB pride!

(p.s. if you all like the idea, recommend this FanShot... it will keep the exposure up and give folks who want to participate time to upload there photo.)

(p.s.s. Order your BCB/Project 3000 t-shirt here)
