So, given that Larry Fucking Himes was still fresh in my mind, I was pretty damn optimistic about him. It didn't last long. It died about the time Lynch traded two #1 pitching prospects for Heredia and Karchner.Aisle 424http://424tales.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-250683060520895629.post-49349292627332889542010-11-02T19:23:05.856-05:002010-11-02T19:23:05.856-05:00you believed in Andy McPhail?you believed in Andy McPhail?cubbiejuliehttp://www.chicagonow.com/blogs/league-of-her-own/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-250683060520895629.post-54820453759790577852010-11-02T16:48:06.771-05:002010-11-02T16:48:06.771-05:00Thanks Duey.

The guy in the ticket office did say "Thank you" this past year, Kevin, the @cubsinsider guy was very nice when he came down to visit me in 424, and even gave a me a coupon that I had tweeted about not getting the night before. These are small things, but they are nice and much better than the Trib days.<br /><br />However, security is still surly and seems mostly unable to or not allowed to use common sense and reasoning. The ushers are maybe a half-step better, and I saw exactly one Wrigley Ambassador this year and that was when I was actively looking for them and I happened to notice his jacket.<br /><br />But give me a winner and none of that matters in the least to me.Aisle 424http://424tales.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-250683060520895629.post-39557020001052716672010-11-02T15:52:57.714-05:002010-11-02T15:52:57.714-05:00Wow.

I mean after all, they did say thanks to you when you turned in your $$ for the 2010 season, so I truly do believe that the Ricketts have kicked some of the public-facing staff in the pants to treat those of us footing the bill nicer compared to the past.<br /><br />Your response however is absolutely fantastic and spot on. Well said and nice that you acknowledged that you're still an addict at the end. We all are, just at different points of the recovery chain.Duey23http://www.twitter.com/duey23noreply@blogger.com
