TOMMY TUNES Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 As of last night the Yankees are in first place, the Red Sox aren't even the wild card team and Raspberrries are on tour. This is the world I know and love. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CubbiefanMike Posted September 23, 2005 Share Posted September 23, 2005 Your a little mixed up... The Raspberries reformed in 2004 the year the Boston Red Sox broke the curse of the Bambino! Maybe the Raspberries had a bet going... If the Bosox win the world series or the Cubs then we will get back together.Damn Yankees! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CubbiefanMike Posted September 24, 2005 Share Posted September 24, 2005 Chicago Cubs Baseball fans are the best. Rain or shine, losing or winning always near capacity. While the only reason the Yankees are winning is because like the Brave owner unlimited supply of cash flow. The 2003 Cubs were a few outs away from being in a world series with a payroll almost half that of the Yankees... and we would have beat the Yankees that year.

marryMary Posted September 24, 2005 Share Posted September 24, 2005 You are a Chicago dweller and will be a Chicago fan, while us East Coast NJ/NY dwellers will be either Yankee or Mets fans....so that's what makes the world go around and how you may or may not meet new friends. It's ok......keep rooting for your team and TommyTunes & I will be rooting GO YANKEES, YO YANKEES and.....Raspberries....Stay Alive! I think we can all agree on that one.

ira Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 CubfanMike- the day after seeing Raspberries in Chicago-my pal and I drove to Addison(?) Street to see Wrigley.What a thrill! I couldn"t believe how the park is like six feet from the curb 'cause it sits right in the neighborhood and is not ringed(is that a word?) by a parking lot. It was January and we just pulled right up in front and took it all in. Is it now a trendy neighborhood or does it still have lots of people whose families have been watching from rooftops and catching balls for years which is my image from TV.

TOMMY TUNES Posted September 27, 2005 Author Share Posted September 27, 2005 dear cubfanmike, Bosox now in second place . "What a difference a day makes... 24 little hours." Yanks... best team in all of U.S. sports history.Cubs .. not even the best baseball team this year in their own city. "It's a cartoon world."

Billy K. Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 What's interesting was a Sports Illustrated poll a few months back.....fave baseball teams in NYC..Yankees got an overwhelming amount of votes(as expected), and likewise the Mets were second.But 4% of the NYC baseball fans are Red Sox fans, and got a distant(but surprising)third place. The Cubs do indeed have the most die-hard fans, of any team---regardless of how they stand---from what I see out there.But let's not forget the Cardinal fans who do not live in St. Louis. People come from Arkansas and the Dakotas and other places to see Card games, and make an event out of a homestand. It's been estimated that the average Card fan travels 128 miles each way to the game!No other MLB team's fans even comes close to that!!

TOMMY TUNES Posted September 27, 2005 Author Share Posted September 27, 2005 Billy, that sopunds right. I see far too many blue hats with a red B on them in the tri-state area including at " the house that Ruth built". But I would guess that there are a dispropotionate amount of Yankee hats outside the NY tri-state area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marryMary Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 Did you see the beautiful "Yankee" bike on "American Chopper" that Jorge Posada had them make for his Foundation fund raiser? The trill was rushing through me when each player signed the tank in Milwaukee.M~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CubbiefanMike Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 The Cubs were the best team in the Early 20th Century! According to the movie Back to The Future II were predicted to sweep Florida in the next few years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CubbiefanMike Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 Ira, Wrigleyville is a classy yuppie neighborhood, the rooftop owners were in messy situation pending litigation a few years ago with the Tribune co. but have resolved their differences as the rooftop owners agreed to a percentage of profits . The Rooftops have been charging entrance fees since the 1980's before that I dont think anyone cared since the 1970's the only interesting players were Bill Buckner and Bruce Sutter. Wrigley Field is the House Of Blues of Rock Arenas since every seat is a great seat.. very close to the action.. even Jimmy Buffet played there a few weeks ago! Cmon Raspberries your next!

TOMMY TUNES Posted September 29, 2005 Author Share Posted September 29, 2005 CubfanMike, to watch your team win the world series you need to watch movies. I need to put on ESPN, YES, the nightly news every few years or so. Reality , what a concept. Love ya, TOMMY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CubbiefanMike Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 Lobsterlvr,Thanks for reminding Tommy about his beloved Yanks worst choke in the history of baseball! I would like to see this repeated... the yanks will probably beat the Angels and will choke again against the Sox. Either Sox will do.
