Guess who’s having drinks with Mayor Willie Brown, Ed Lee, Diane Fienstein and Gavin Newsome? Go vote mutha fuggers!!! 
Even if you’re completely disillusioned with national politics, there are leaders, issues, and causes in your local community you can get behind. Trust me, the “all politics is local” thing really hits home when your tea party school board decides to take away your school buses because it sees them as “an entitlement issue.” Vote for a real candidate, vote for a write-in candidate, vote for a protest vote candidate, vote for Lou Piniella.
Just vote.

“Clap Clap…Clap Clap Clap”
I hear ya.
Looks like the Cubs are interested in Ryu Hyun-Jin http://www.arirang.co.kr/News/News_View.asp?nseq=139779&code=Ne7&category=6
Anyone know anything about him?
I’ve heard rumors that the Cubs have had some interest in the kid…not much more.
All I know is that the Cubs have invested pretty heavily in Korean talent over the last 10 years and outside of getting Derrek Lee for Heo Sop Choi, the Cubs haven’t really gotten much out of that investment.
I’d pass on the kid as I just don’t really care for the talent that comes out of Asia.
Racist
Maybe so, but name me one Asian player who has made a major contribution to the Cubs?
Forget the name but he work the playing field forever
ooops he wasn’t a player.I just saw ‘asian’
I’m guessing you are referring to Yosh Kawano.
Yes…he made a major contribution to the Cubs…by doing a wonderful job of washing their uniforms.
No tickee No shirtee
Looks like the new Cubbie announcer might be 1 of the 5….Dan Plesac; Rick Sutcliffe; Eric Karros; Todd Hollandsworth; and Gary Matthews.

I know its unpopular to some around here but my choice of the 5 is Plesac. Flame away!
Out of that list, Sarge or GTFO. I could be listening to a lot more Pat + Zonk next season.
I would miss Plesac on MLB, so for that reason I’m hoping for Sutcliffe. Karros is an awful choice, unless the Cubs want their very own Hawk Harrellson with hair. It would be interesting though, to have Karros take back some of the many,many stupid comments he has made about other teams while being on the Dodgers homer pre-game show…
If there are reports of the Cubs leaving WGN in a couple of years why would anyone want this job.
I would certainly make that a key question if I was being interviewed
If the Cubs leave WGN…it would likely be so they can start their own network, at which point they’ll be almost as accessible nationally as they are on WGN. This is one of the most high profile jobs in baseball and it will continue to be regardless if they are on WGN or not.
Won’t they be under contract to WGN?
While technically employees of WGN (even when they are broadcasting on Comcast), the Cubs pretty much have jurisdiction over the announcers. I would imagine any contract given to the new color guy would only run the length of the TV current contract. Usually these guys aren’t signed to long term deals anyway. At the point the TV contract ends, if the Cubs choose to move to another tv outlet, a new contract would probably go through that new network.

Not a whole lot of those guy projected to go to the Cubs.
I can’t wait until this day is over….the stupid jokes, the criticisms, the groaning, the moaning, the bickering, the talking, the arguing, the stupid pictures, the signs, the debates, and all the rest that comes with it……just let it get over with already!
I didn’t realize you felt so strongly about who will be the new Cubs announcer…:)
Hey hey!
This seasons Maholm?? http://www.rotoworld.com/stats/mlb/2528/javier-vazquez
Why? Do he go to the same doctors that fixed up Bartolo Colon? I can’t really see any team wanting him, unless he is showcased in something like the World Baseball Classuc. I would think most teams would rather shell out $$ for young players…
I was thinking more along the lines of…if he shows he might have anything left, we pick him up on some sorta split contract or guaranteed minor league deal and possibly flip him at the deadline.
I had to cast a provisional ballot this morning and I am NOT happy about it.
Why?
Because the guy looking up names was too stupid to be able to alphabetize and kept insisting my name wasn’t in the book. When election officials went back later (they got a ton of complaints), it was.
The last time I moved that happened to me. I received a sample ballot in the mail, but when I went in to vote, they could not locate my name. Ever since then, I have tried and now permanently vote absentee…
It’s so much easier to vote in Wisconsin. They pretty much just take your word for anything. If I wanted to, I could pretty easily have voted 3 times in 3 different areas and very easily could get away with it.
It’s because you are a redheaded lawyer. It’s in the constitution that you aren’t allowed to vote.
So if Obama is elected, do we get our Triangle Building?
Check out the new pic bruh, sorry Julie, love ya
Willie Brown looks like he got a head start on you,Johnny…:)
I thought that was Willie MAYS.
Willie Mays Hayes!!! And they were all drunk as skunks. Guess who else was? Weeeeeeeeee!!!!
