Around SBN: Knicks Beat Lakers With Familiar Strategy

Tuesday the 8th - Stop by and wish PFC Alec luck on his coming deployment

My son will be shipping out sometime this month after a week at home and he would get a big kick if anyone would stop by and give us (him) a yell. We will be in Aisle 209 Row 14 Seats 8-9-10-11 – right in the middle of the row.

I thought about putting something on the scoreboard, but his mom was sure we would all miss it, and she is probably right.

He doesn’t know I am posting this – and thanks to all the BCBers ahead of time.

Best of luck to your son

His commitment to his country is admirable. He and his colleagues are the true MVP’s.

Won't be at the game

but when you have the chance to show him this post later on, he’ll know his fellow Cubs fans wish him well. And thanks to him for his great service to our country. I do wish I could shake his hand.

Go ahead, Z me.

Shoot me an email tomorrow and remind me...

... and I’ll try to stop by.

I can't yell that far

so please give him my thanks for defending our country.

I would be close enough to yell

If I were going to be at the game ( as you might gather from my posts my voice
will easily carry the 3 rows I am away from you. My friend Irv will be in my seats so
I will ask him to do so in my stead.

FYI coming in for the weekend will you be there Sat or Sunday ?

Thank you

I won’t be able to stop by and say hi, since I’m in Denver, BUT tell him thank you very much, be careful, and hopefully they’ll all be home soon. Someday I hope we as a nation can thank him and his fellow troops appropriately. God bless America.

and the sox suck

Dear SBnation, We need our own server here at BCB seeing how its became very slow due to enormous amounts of traffic. P.S. Impeach Bud Selig!!!
