Calling Gene, Gene the Cubbie Loving Machine

[genegodawa]

Couldn't beat him, but the WSox found a way to give up the late lead in full last night so it wasn't a total downer.

[Windy City Walleye Hunter]

OK Geno,

Here are my prime trade baits, who will you give me for them?

Juan (the Con) Uribe

Ryan Buckvich

Dewon Day

Bobby Jenks

Scotty Pods

Jermaine Dye

Joe Crede

Bryan Anderson

Make it some good stuff man, remember, many of these fine athletes have an 05 World Series ring on their finger.

Windy

[genegodawa]

Prime?

Dye might command something on the market, but I almost have never heard of most of them bums before. (I'm actually surprised you didn't offer the entire starting lineup).

Lucky you asked "who" or I would have replied with a bag of bp balls and a couple of old bases. Nyuk, nyuk.

PS Here's a good one for you:

A guy that was gonna be on Cass at the same time as our big internet group offered to bring up WSox tix for a couple of series if anyone was interested......the only reply he got was from a local guide who said "bring them up, I need something to start my bonfire with" Hoooooeee!

[Windy City Walleye Hunter]

Geno,

Tell me you are not drooling over the thought of Ryan Buckvich in Cubbie Blue. Come on man, make us an offer. Maybe Yosh Kiwano? or The Bat Boy! LOL

Windy

[genegodawa]

Is Marla Collins still around?

Harry was in love with her.

[Windy City Walleye Hunter]

HEYYYY LET ME HEAR YA,

Marla Collins spelled backwards is.....

God I Loved Harry! Marla was Okey Dokey in my book too!

Windy

[genegodawa]

Coupla more days before Windy returns from his trip to Cass and then he'll be showing us a nice Cubbie avatar AGAIN.

I sure hope the Cubbies are still in 1stPl when Windy returns - and also at the end of the season.

[genegodawa]

Now THAT is a truly beautiful avatar there Windy.

Cubs couldn't hold 1st, but as long as they are ahead of the WSox, you can look forward to next month's avatar too.

[Windy City Walleye Hunter]

Geno,

Don't stare at it too long, I have embedded subliminal pictures of a nude Hawk Harrellson in the C and if you look at it for more than 20 seconds you will see the Hawk a Roo in his full glory! LOL

Windy

[genegodawa]

That's ok Windy because after 3 straight months of losing our bet and displaying that avatar, it turns you into a Cubbie-Blue-Kool-Aid sippin' CubFan. You'll like it though 'cause it's better than being a WSox fan. Nyuk, nyuk

[Spinner1]

That looks real good on you Windy. Given any thought to gettin a jersey?

[Windy City Walleye Hunter]

Spinner,

I think if I were to get a Cubbie jersey it would have to have Broglio on the back. Ask Geno who Ernie Broglio is, probably the most famous Cub in history. Or maybe a Slammy Sosa jersey with the name spelled out in wine corks, LOL

Windy

[genegodawa]

God, Windy, stop diverting attention from the present to the past will ya?

So you are still jealous of Sammy, huh? Why? Because he is better than most of your WSox? Tsk, tsk.

And as to the past, what happened to your chest-thumping about the WSox having "the best rotation in baseball"?

That was one great inning Garland (your favorite FLUKE 17 game winner twice removed) had against the Yanks last week.

All in all, there is still alotta ball to play.

Right now, I'm going with Yanks, Mariners, and Twins as division winners. Time will tell.

PS EVERYBODY knows Broglio came to the Cubs for Brock.

PPS Good to have you back --- keep stirring!

[Windy City Walleye Hunter]

I got to keep stirring, people tell me I have the biggest spoon around. I knew the Slammy comment would get your goat (get the goat reference? Billy Goat, Cubs curse, etc) I thought the wine cork was a nice touch and Ernie Broglio is always there when we need a quick dig!!! LOL

From one spoon to another.

Windy

[Spinner1]

OK, get me up to speed guys. My oldest Cubbie recollections would probably be Kessinger, Santo, Hundley, Cardenal, Monday, Pappas, Rueschells, Williams and Jack Brickhouse. Where does Brogglio fit into this?

BTW, I just paid $204 for three tickets next Tuesday, and ringside I isn't. Are all you Chicago people rich or something?

[genegodawa]

Ain't been to a game in about 10 yrs....can't stand having good seats and not being able to see because of all the friggin vendors standing in my line of sight.

Broglio for Brock was about in '66, give or take a few. I go back to about '64 when I was 9. Lots of mediocre players then..and ever since. Except in '69:

Kessinger, Beckert, Williams, Santo, Banks, Hundley, Hickman,Don Young, and Fergie. An awesome lineup that just wilted against the Mets.

Memories, misty water-color memories, of the way we were....
