Calling Gene, Gene the Cubbie Loving Machine

[genegodawa]

Before I can answer your tongue-in-cheek "short lived" comment, I will have to research the schedule for this month BUT 5 games is alot for the WSox to make up on the 2ND PLACE Cubbies.

[Spinner1]

"Spinner,

Are you just yanking my chain?"

Yes Windy, I heard that you are being watched close. Nice avatar BTW.

[Windy City Walleye Hunter]

I'm a rebel, Spinner. Just the other day I tore the little tag off my mattress that says "Do not remove, Under Penalty of Law". I don't care man, they can't stop me!

Windy

[genegodawa]

Schedule looks pretty tough for the WSox (Kitties, Twinks, Tribe, O's, and BoSox) so I think you had better get used to a Cubbie avatar, Windy.

[Windy City Walleye Hunter]

Tell me about it, and the Cubbies have a walk in the park for what looks to be 2 months at least. I guess I can take solace in the fact that I am old and can't really see the avatar too clearly, especially without my specs!!! LOL

Windy

[genegodawa]

You'll be able to see next month's avatar just fine, don't worry!

[genegodawa]

Windy,

Here you go for next month:

[Windy City Walleye Hunter]

That's kind of fuzzy but hey it's your dime your dancefloor. Let's wait until it's official on July 31st. Remember,I will be up at Cass until Aug 5th so you may have to wait until then to see your lovely fuzzy red and blue logo. But hey, my beloved could mount a huge come back combined with the Cubbies going into a slide and then....

Monkeys could fly out of our butts!!! LOL

Windy

[genegodawa]

Yeah I know, and if you're Grandma had a johnson.......

PS Fuzzy like baby (cub) bear fur.....and also because how I downloaded it and converted it to jpeg and gif and pic and bmp and .....

PPS While you are at Cass, I will be looking for a more legible/readable avatar for you for AUG!

Go CUBBIES!

[Windy City Walleye Hunter]

Enjoy it now Geno,

Your Cubbies are like butter....On A Roll!

But beware the Ides of August (or is that March)

I have only four words of warning Geno.........

One

Nine

Six

Nine

We all know what that spells....1969! LOL

Did you leave any mushroom swiss burgers at the Hole or did you guys scarf them all???

Windy

[genegodawa]

Plenty of M/Swiss left for you....got there later than I wanted to since the Kitchi pike action was hot that morning. I had a heckuva time docking at PHole and all the guys got a great laugh watching me - almost took out a guy's lower unit but I got her docked safely. Then after lunch we had the scariest boat ride in my 30 yrs to Cass when leaving the Turtle River back for BVilla. Out to O'Neils shoulda been 5 mins but took me 20. I was never so scared on Cass and I been out there in lots of big rollers before, but that day was the worst ever for me.

Be careful and stay safe.

And catch lots of fishees.

Oh yeah, and say hi to Brian and Commanche when you see them.

PS I would have really enjoyed last night after my Cubbies came from behind but your PaleHose couldn't quite give back all of their big (9 run?) lead...lucky you got Jenks.

[Windy City Walleye Hunter]

But they tried they only fell one run short of giving it back! You got to love our bullpen! Buckvich, Dey and somebody named Boone, all those famous names that every other team is trying to steal from my beloved Pale Hose. I am sure they are putting the finishing touches on Mr. Buckvich's plaque for Cooperstown right now!!!! ARGGHHHHHHH

Windy

[genegodawa]

We've still got Cotts in the minors to give back if you want him.

Oh yeah, and that "early in the season" comment I made about Ohman.......I take it back now.

I just gotta love it when Mike North is talking about how he would love to have Ronny Cedeno playing SS for your Sox instead of that "fat guy who dodged the murder charge". Cedeno can't even sit on our bench as he too is in our minors now.

My first chance to gloat in awhile, so I know you'll let me enjoy it while it lasts.

And how about us getting Kendall?

[Mudcutter]

not a cubs fan at all, but the Kendall move is a good one, especially when you look at what the cubs gave up to get him. Solid catcher and hitter and good in the clubhouse. I still think the cubs need another OF to make it really interesting coming down the stretch. Brew Crew losing Sheets for ?? helps alot. How much can Cubs gain with Sheets out?? That's the difference to me.

[genegodawa]

But we still will have the Cards breathing down our neck when Edmonds and Carpenter return.

If the monster of subs(Floyd, DeRosa, Pie, Jones, etal) that we have playing outfield can hold up, then we won't need another OF.

Long ways to go still. Every journey begins with that first step - just one at a time (beat Barry tonight I hope).

[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
