I can't say about anyone else, but just been real busy at work and at home. Coupled with the struggles, just not much to whoop and holler about. Very grateful for the W.
It's nice to finally get a win against the Reds. Cubs remain streaky.
I'm wearing my World Series tee at Summerfest today. All comments have been very positive!
I'm sad the Cubs went from starting the entire infield in last year's All Star game to having no position players on the team. I'm trying to spin it that they will get more rest, but it has to sting especially with Maddon as manager.
based on twitter comments, a certain off field visit while in D.C. hurt their voting significantly, also people flat out saying players not at a level to deserve it, others saying dumb game, just get the rest. Now if Rossy had put out a PR voting campaign, things might be differentI'm sad the Cubs went from starting the entire infield in last year's All Star game to having no position players on the team.

This is good for Miggy! He was picked up by someone who wanted him enough to actually *pay* for him.Also Miggy was traded to the Blue Jays for PTBNL, and cash possibly. Nice Guy JUST becomes a U.S. Citizen and now plays for Toronto. I just knew he was gong AL. As much as I detest that team, I am a fan of one of their players now.
We had Premium APs twice in the last 10 years and we went to DQ exactly once. We had fun on the Jungle Cruise ride but that's about it. Disney knows it's market and I bet an NBA attraction will be a big draw. I know I'll go exactly zero times.I know it's not Cubs related, but sad day for me. They closed DisneyQuest. One of the few things I would go to downtown disney for (aside from restaurants) and it's gone for NBA (BLEH!)
Really? That's stupid. If you have an invitation to the White House, you take it! Even if you're not a big fan of the president. Plus, they couldn't help the timing. The White House visit always coincides with the team's next visit to the Washington area.based on twitter comments, a certain off field visit while in D.C. hurt their voting significantly, also people flat out saying players not at a level to deserve it, others saying dumb game, just get the rest.

well...not to jinx it but I am hoping like heck that the PTBNL is Cog's (providing he gets healthy)This is good for Miggy! He was picked up by someone who wanted him enough to actually *pay* for him.
But remember the team already had their post World Series win visit with the previous administration.The White House visit always coincides with the team's next visit to the Washington area.

I do remember! President Obama actually pulled some strings to get the team there early. Last week is the time that the team should have gone. Again, IMO it's an honor that should not be turned down.But remember the team already had their post World Series win visit with the previous administration.

I don't think politics should enter into the AS voting at all.And for those who very much disliked the previous administration, should them visiting have correlated to lesser AS votes? Rhetorical question, not flame war bait.
That was kinda my point, so thank you...at least I'm not alone.I don't think politics should enter into the AS voting at all.
