Hey Geno,

It's looking like May will be Silver and Black once again. Lots riding on this weekend. Care to make a side bet, maybe to cover your upcoming loss??? Hee Hee

Let's say an additional one week avatar bet if either team sweeps, but you have to agree to it at The Cell as well as Wiggly Field! Bet???

Hey Geno,

Look's like "Flukie" did it again. 3-2 record, 3.18 ERA, compared to the great YO-Han, 4-4 record 3.26 ERA. I don't know Geno. Are you still going with the Fluke label???

Windy

[Windy City Walleye Hunter]

Hey Geno,

You mentioned you wanted Aardsma back, you can have him after the way he tossed yesterday but you have to keep Cotts with him and let him keep tossing those beachballs up to my beloved Pale Hose. I guess AJ got back for the grand salami that D Lee hit.

Don't mean to get in the middle of the whole "South-Side, North-Side" battle here, (BTW-North Side Rules) but Johans team can't score him any runs.

Where's Geno? I was looking forward to a little Monday morning civil war smack talk. Good series guys. Gotta love Wrigley, where pitchers are required to check their ERA at the door.

Spent the weekend away at my sis' place chasing pannies and cats and didn't get to see any of the series.....but I did hear something about how on Sunday the WSox were gonna try to make the Cubs keep their brooms in the closet?????

If only the Cubbies could have swept, I would have gladly taken a little side-action Windy. (I'll trade you Wuertz for Aardsma and gladly keep Cotts over Lohman).

[Windy City Walleye Hunter]

Well Geno, my friend,

Here sits ole Windy on his 48th birthday and all the presents have been opened...except 1. As I look at my trusty Chicago Tribune (the only conservative paper in The Windy) and I glance at the sports page, I see one thing....

WE SUCK LESS THAN YOU!! Pay up old man, let's see that shiny black and silver Championship ring for the next week!!!

Blah Ha Ha Ha

Windy

[genegodawa]

I don't know there Windy. If the Sox lose tonight, then I believe both teams would have won the same number of games in May so i call it a tie then, don'tcha think? And by virtue of the 2 out of 3 the Cubbies took from the WSox, I would get the tiebreaker, no?

[Windy City Walleye Hunter]

Riddle me this oh wise one. How do you consider a team that is .500 to be equal to one that is 7 games under. Stop sippin your Cubbie Kool-Aid from your Ron Santo mug and pay up old man, before I send Tony Soprano up to Elmhurst to "enlighten" you...LOL!

Windy

[Windy City Walleye Hunter]

PS Geno,

Remember this is a cumulative bet as stated in the original proposition. It is not a month to month deal. Sox have a better record in April, you pay. Sox still have a better record in May, you pay. Your boys have to catch mine and pass them for me to pay. Let's see that shiny black and silver flying over Elmhurst!!!

Windy

[genegodawa]

Windy,

Talk about sippin' cool-aid? Like the Twin fans have asked, "what are you smokin'"?

I really do not remember it being a cumulative bet. That wouldn't make sense because if one team got a big lead to start the season the other would never catch them and would lose every month then thereby taking the fun out of it. Point me to chapter and verse of our bet please....otherwise, I may choose to welch no matter who you send to enlighten me.

[Windy City Walleye Hunter]

Geno,

Care to double the bet if I have to wade thru all the old posts then I should be rewarded for my effort. It was a cumulative bet and I was very specific about it. What the heck are you doing complaining about paying off the bet, the last time you did your Cubbies went on a streak didn't they? .490 vs .430....PAY THE FIDDLER Geno!

Windy

[Windy City Walleye Hunter]

OK Geno,

Please refer the thread named What A Start to The Season that was created by none other than Gene Gene The Welching Machine (don't make me put that moniker on your permanent record Geno)

Pay Up!

Windy

[Windy City Walleye Hunter]

PS

I'll see you at the end of June when your next installment will be due. Don't make me put the "juice" on your loan!

Windy

[genegodawa]

I am not gonna welch - my mistake for accepting.

So Cubs gotta make up 6 games in 30 days?

Now you see why I never should have accepted "cumulative".

Lucky for me it is not for ca$h.

[Windy City Walleye Hunter]

It's all good, Geno. You are indeed a man of your word. Misguided with your love of the Cubbies, but a man of your word. Thanks for the belated birthday present.LOL

Windy

[genegodawa]

Windy go on vac? All week with nary a word about the Barrett/Zambrano tangle or the LouP suspension???????

One more day with this goofy avatar!

Oh yeah, is it true Buerhle has now gone 7 starts since his no-no without a victory?

[Windy City Walleye Hunter]

Sorry Geno,

Short business trip, just got back in town tonight. I guess I missed my chance at some prime fodder, eh? I think Lou is going to be Lou and the melt down was inevitable, however, the Barrett and Zam-Brain-NO situation is another thing. I think one of these guys will be gone after next year and I would guess that it would be the Brain-Less Wonder Carlos. What a piece of work, he has to be one of the biggest tools in the shed IMHO! It was kind of funny though. Both teams seem to be wading in mediocrity this year. We shall see how this month ends, but you might have a shot at actually winning a month, who knows. I have no faith in my beloved this season, they seem to be going thru the motions. I guess we can still say, there is a long way to go or we can use the line the Cubbies are famous for....WAIT TILL NEXT YEAR!

Windy

[genegodawa]

What? No answer to my question?

Not much to write about for sure, including the Twin fans. At least the Cubs are in a weak div so I don't have to resort to your "wait till next year" yet. But being out 9, I understand why you feel that way.

I leave tonight for Cass and have a bet with a Cardinal fan that the Cubs would be ahead of them on Mon the 11th. Looks like it is gonna be close.

[Windy City Walleye Hunter]

So are you saying you would rather be the strongest of the weak or the weakest of the strong? Not sure which is better. You better watch your avatar betting there Geno, you may be writing checks you can't cash!

Windy

[genegodawa]

If the Cubs take the CitySeries at the Cell, you might be writing the check this month.

[Windy City Walleye Hunter]

And if my Grandma had a "johnson" she'd be my Grandpa!

Windy

[genegodawa]

Yeah, and if the WSox hadn't gone 2-8 in their last 10, the Cubs wouldn't have a better winning pct today!

[Windy City Walleye Hunter]

Oh Geno,

You may have spoken too soon! Here you are feeling all friskie about your Cubbies and they have exactly the same number of losses as my beloved Pale Hose and you are about to lose D Lee for being an (Contact Us Please) for a few games, what kind of a girly punch was that from ole Derrick?

The only thing they have going for them is having played 3 extra games. There are a bunch of games left in June and the real series starts Friday. You may have opened the pie hole just a tad early there old boy! LOL

The white sux have really gone down hill since the twins swept them. Nothing is better than watching the sux struggle
