      Hilarious.

      Has anyone pointed out yet that the chance to contend for the playoffs should also be expedited by the additional WC?

      I just realized that if Hendry was the GM and the Cubs signed Corpas and traded for Ian Stewart that all the fans would be talking about Hendry loves his reclamation projects. All GMs love their reclamation projects.

      FYI…my friend and WSD partner said his mom got the call for season tickets. She had checked about a month ago and was in the 2000s or so on the wait list. So take from that what you will.

      As for me, I moved from 115418 when I checked in October, and just checked now. At 112418.

      Still a hundred thousand people in front of me in line. Boy I hope I graduate and get a decent job before it gets to me!

      Awesome post AC, especially the many sides of Stewart and DeJesus. My mom suggested that we might have to watch the 2012 Cubs like its just a full year version of spring training (dying laughing)

      Mish, good luck with your new web app.

      HighRoulette.com’s new application eases process of finding online video entertainment for labor-dreading marijuana users.

      Chicago, Illinois (PRWEB) December 21, 2011
