Please Help an Iowa Cubs Fan out!!

The Iowa Cubs are doing a contest until June 9th for fans to vote for the next Iowa Cubs t-shirt giveaway. Last month it was Jake Fox who won, and they gave away Fox shirts at a game last week.

This month, the participants are J.R. Mathes, Bobby Scales, Lee Smith and So Taguchi. As I write this, Mathes has a big lead over Scales.

As an Iowa Cubs season ticketholder, I appreciate the great season that Mathes is having right now, and I like him to make some sort of small contribution to the big club sometime this season, but I think that Bobby Scales deserves his own shirt day for the contributions he's made to the Cubs this season. So please help me out here and vote for SCALES!

Dang

I voted for Lee Smith a couple days ago… Sorry.

One day I hope to come up with something worthy of this space.

This means a lot to you, huh?

Watch the numbers grow. My vote(s) will pull him within 100 of Mathes.

sure why not.

but 80+ votes are going to be hard to make up.

I'm a Cubs FANATIC. They are my team, through thick and thin. When they play over their heads, and when they play under the gutter. When they win the division, and then get swept in the division series. When they get no-hitters and when they blow no-hitters. And some day, when they go all the way and get those rings. This is the kind of fan I am.

shold be able to get over 80 just on BCB

baseball is a game of outs......pop out, ground out, line out, pitch out, strike out, fly out, and Fox and Bud's favorite black out

Poor Alfred (JR's real name) is going to lose this shirt off his back

If the world didn't suck we would all fall off.

Not anymore, someone on here must be pulling for Mathes

because in less than 5 minutes, his total went up 50 more votes, when it had stayed at 260 for almost an hour.

You don't necessarily need our help, you can do it yourself:

If you have Internet Explorer, vote for Bobby Scales, close Internet Explorer. Go to internet properties, under browsing history, click delete. A “Delete Browsing History” window comes up. Click delete all at the very bottom, then click ok. Go vote for Bobby Scales again, wash, rinse, repeat. Do this until he is comfortably ahead if you like. I moved him up about 20 votes for you. He is now at 214 and Mathes is still at 260.

Or in Firefox, TOOLS >> CLEAR PRIVATE DATA >> CACHE and COOKIES

Then cast your vote again.

Apparently, someone is doing the same for Afred “JR” Mathes

314-224

Your campaign to get a Scales' jersey may have worked
