Calling Gene, Gene the Cubbie Loving Machine

[Spinner1]

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

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

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!

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.

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....
