Alas no, I'll be in Baltimore/Phillie area by then. I'm in Chicago from the 9th to 11th of July and back there a couple of weeks later (26th I think) for the White Sox).

Was the website not working, or was it just blocked at your work? Just want to know if it has a problem?
Blocked at work. Don't know why I can access GRB at work but am thankful :cool:

Who is my team?

I began watching baseball in the year of the home run chase of '98 and so, for my sins, follow the Cubs. I should hit Wrigley Field around the 5th of July so am looking forward to that day!

We've been had.
I did think it best to keep that quiet when coming on here.

If it's any consolation when I came out I was looking for a new team and said to friends out west I'd be looking for the team that was most like going to QPR - i.e. a team who play in an old stadium, have a proud history but who've never won anything and are currently a bunch of losers. I was told I was best off sticking with the Cubs....


Edit - just to add, made it to Minneapolis last night and at the Twins - Yankees game tonight :D

Minnesotans are going to tell you that you need to go to a local restaurant to order a Juicy Loosey. Don't be fooled. It's just a cheeseburger with the cheese put into the middle of the meat, and it runs out onto your lap when you take a bite.

But do go to the sculpture park where they have the giant spoon with a cherry on it. It's a pretty park.

Greetings all,

Just thought I'd check in - I left Cleveland this morning and will be in Cincinnati for the Reds/Cards game on Saturday.

I don't know if any of you guys follow the team on the road but if anyone's in Cincinnati for Saturday's game be sure to come by for a beer :)

I'll be the opposite of at the game. At work, working for a guy who will be traveling to Cincinnati to catch the game.
I'll tell him to buy you a beer.

I've seen both teams once and they both lost. That said the Reds have given me free tickets so I should at least feign supporting them...

And Luke - that's awful, I'll drink a beer on your behalf though :wink:
