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

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.

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.
by Geo4MVP on Jun 26, 2008 5:16 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
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.

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).

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?

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.
Send me an e-mail sometime. My address is ncvvnc@yahoo.com

Makes me happy to see so many central IL
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!
