Thanks and all,

however I would prefer some October fulfill all my dreams. May can’t pull that off.

Happy 2012 everyone.

Let’s hope it’s a lot better than 2011 was for the Cubs and for many of us. Thanks for all your hard work Al.

If the Cubs still have a chance, no matter how small, it’s still Go Cubs, damn the math and pass the KoolAid. I'm a Sheeple and proud of it!

Happy New Year,

maybe this time next year we will be in a position to compete for a long time.

Good morning and Happy New Year!

Win or lose, I want to see a Cubs team that hustles, fights to the end in every game and is blessed with timely hitting and solid pitching. I want a team that holds my interest for all 162 games. Is this too much to ask from the Chicago National League Baseball Club?

We'll miss you Big Boy. #10 is going into the Hall of Fame!!

Happy New Year to one and all! Lets hope for, well…hope! :]

Happy new year, Al and BCB

I’ve been a Cub fan longer than most on the board and have rarely been this excited about management’s ability to establish a tradition of winning. The first baby steps have already started and 2012 is going to be very interesting, indeed!

This is the year

Not sure what its the year for, but its definately the year for it.

All the best to everyone, may this year be better for you than last year.

by Stan Cox on Jan 1, 2012 1:21 PM CST reply actions  

It's going to be a most interesting year

My hopes are up. Regardless what happens, I am always thankful for the community here at BCB. Warmest wishes to you all – or almost all ;-)

by Emelie on Jan 1, 2012 1:41 PM CST reply actions  

My hopes are up every year at this time.

I’m goofy that way. This year they are up even higher. Warm wishes to you too, Emelie. Considering where you live, I think you need them more than most of us.

Happy New Year BCB

I think I was at that game in the picture above. Yep, I remember those fireworks from the McDonalds when they served their one millionth drunken Cubs fan.

and here’s hoping the Cubs put at least a competitive team on the field this year.

A happy and healthy new year to you all.

So much for that resolution to stop ignoring my family by visiting BCB so frequently. ;-)
