Calling Gene, Gene the Cubbie Loving Machine

[genegodawa]

Very interesting Windy, but don't be a quitter....it's probably only a "June swoon" the WSox are experiencing....but at 9-25 since Ozzie's tirade, that is a real big swoon. Can't say as I blame you for giving up on them, and I don't care what you say about blindly watching whatever is on the field, but you are not a true fan if you can't stick with them through thin and thinner. What about hope for the young guys? Don't you want to see what they can do? You are PROVING to be a fair weather fan if you don't keep following your team all the way down to the cellar.

I'll be looking for an avatar for you soon.

I have stayed out of this up to now and frankly haven't been around much but as Schweady mentioned, this one is too ripe not to be picked. Yes, our Twinkies are not on top the the division but they are heads and tails ahead of your squad.

The rest can be covered with, "Holy bandwagon, Batman!"

Make it a good one Geno.

[Windy City Walleye Hunter]

Hey Guys,

I'm not saying I won't be watching but it will be from a far and not with the intensity. I also won't be shelling out and dinero at the Cell. Right now this is not a team I want to watch so my days will be filled with other things, like setting up my 2 week trip to MN. My boys are on a "wait and see" list right now, should be interesting to see what Kenny does. I got to think Buehrle and Dye are history. I think Garland will stay and we will start the rebuilding process. They are still my boys and we still have the shiniest Championship ring amongst us FM'ers with the Twinks being a little tarnished and the Cubbies......I don't think Championship rings were invented the last time they won, were they Geno? LOL

Windy

[genegodawa]

Fishy,

heads and tails AND 8 games.

I might let Windy use this one to profess his Cubbie-love:

or it might hurt more showing one of the smarter guys, who got outta the SSide in the nic-o-time:

Windy,

yep, that's right, let's throw out the baby with the bathwater!

Sorry about all the edits, guys, but this just came in about Buerhle's no-no, Garland's 2 17-win seasons, and that Championship Ring:

F-L-U-K-E!

[Windy City Walleye Hunter]

Don't matter Geno,

Pick one you likes cause you deserve it. As far as F-L-U-K-E goes, the only thing I can say is "At Least We Got One" Sox Fluke - 1 Cubs Fluke.........Still waiting, after all these years, oh, still waiting after all these years. Pardon my Paul Simon reference there.

Windy

[genegodawa]

I'm still searching....here's one I hand-made for you:

I title it "The Broom"

[Windy City Walleye Hunter]

And I still, haven't found, what I'm looking for....

Keep lookin Geno and let me know when you have a winner. Maybe you can conduct a poll with all the Twinkie lovers and you can come up with a consensus. Whatever it takes man. July 1st is coming.

Windy

[genegodawa]

All I know is you just referred to "all" the Twinkie lovers, meaning there are lots of them. And in an earlier post, you referred to "all" the fans that fill Wrigley.....funny, you just don't hear anybody say "all" the WSox fans!

[Windy City Walleye Hunter]

Yea,

Cause Commanche bailed on me! LOL

Not too many Sox fans on a MINNESOTA HSOforum, Geno.

Are you yanking my chain or what, old boy?

Windy

[fishyguy]

I miss ol' Commanche. I wonder if he still thinks he would not trade any of the White Sox starters or Brandon McCarthy for Johan.

Does anyone recall what they got for Mcarthy, Garcia or have a guess at what they will get for Buehrle?

Also it makes you wonder how ol' Jim would feel about Johan having a higher batting average that all but one Sox (Pods), higher OBP but two Sox and a higher slugging pct than all.

I guess if the Twins don't make it interesting soon we will have to dedicate all our fun at the White Sox expense. Sorry Windy. As Wesley Snipes said, as Nino Brown in New Jack City, "Never personal, just business".

[genegodawa]

Oh just great...a dj and a movie critic exchanging quotes???

Just yankin' Windy, just yankin'.

[Windy City Walleye Hunter]

Fishy,

I prefer Michael Corleone's quote...

It's not personal Sonny, it's business!

He also had my latest quote which is how I feel right now about my beloved Pale Hose... They are dead to me! LOL

Windy

[genegodawa]

Just emailed with our old pal, Buzzsaw. He says hi to everyone.

Windy,

Since it is so recent and still in our minds, I have decided your avatar for the first week in July wll be, "The Broom" so you are always to be reminded who the better Chgo team is. How do you say it? "I haven't seen a beating like that since someone put a banana down my pants and let a monkey loose".

[Windy City Walleye Hunter]

Just shoot me the url on it Geno, I always pay my debts!

Enjoy the ride!

Windy

[Windy City Walleye Hunter]

Hey Geno,

Do you have any idea what the total record is for Sox/Cubs since interleague started?

Windy

[genegodawa]

Try this Windy -

I do not know and neither do I care (and do you mean both teams against the opp or against each other?)

[Spinner1]

If you mean Sox vs Cubs, the series is about dead even. As it should be IMO. That's what makes rivalries so much more fun than a "normal" game. 29-28 or something. I can't believe they have played that many already.

[Windy City Walleye Hunter]

Spinner,

That's about what I thought it was. Dead even. I will try that url Geno, I hope it does not lead me to some porn pic or Hawk and DJ in a hot tub sipping mojitos or anything weird like that...LOL

Windy

[Spinner1]

Windy,

LOL, I'm thinking you're lucky this is a family site.

BTW, Ozzie must have stolen your Corleone speech and used it on your team this week. Best results they have had in awhile. I wonder how the Godfather lines sound in Spanglish?

[Windy City Walleye Hunter]

Si Como No! Senior Spinner

[Windy City Walleye Hunter]

Geno,

I tried using your link and all I get now is this stupid red x. I need some help from the techies out there, remember you are dealing with a computer dinosaur here.

Windy

[Spinner1]

Windy

I'm afraid the "Red X" means you've been marked for deletion.

Not sure if it's too late or not, but I think I'd start an "I love Joe Mauer thread" if I were you.

[genegodawa]

Windy,

Sure, nice try, but I feel you are not trying hard enough??

Just right-click on the pic in my post and save it to your pc. Then put it in your photo site (I use photobucket.com) and tag that URL as your avatar.

OR send me your email and I'll send you the jpg file for you to setup as your avatar.

[Windy City Walleye Hunter]

Spinner,

Are you just yanking my chain? I have been a good boy, no bad posts or photos in forever. I sure hope that is not what this means. If so, I may have to reconsider my affiliation to this site.

Geno,

I will try what you told me and see if it works. I am not yanking your chain, Geno. You have seen me put a few aviatars up but it is always a chore.

Windy

[Windy City Walleye Hunter]

OK Geno,

I got it to work, I copied your thread and then pasted it into the my home page. I think Spinner was just trying to stir the pot Geno? What do you think? Enjoy your spoils of victory, short lived as they may be, LOL!

Windy
