I went through it in '...I know your pain Mitch. I went through it in '86, '88, '99, '03 and many, many more times before 86 years of frustration and curses were vanquished in 2 magical weeks in October 2004. They say Red Sox fans and cubs fans were masochists, the way we took on all the years of pain and suffering and kept coming back year after year.<br /><br />My reaction on Wednesday, October 27, 2004, when Edgar Renteria hit a grounder back to Keith Foulke who fielded it and tossed it to Doug Mientkewicz at first for the historic third out was to drop to my knees, relief finally taking over. The emotion of the moment was too much and I broke down on the spot. My wife was stunned next to me. I don't think anyone else could understand the feeling of that moment. You have to have been a Red Sox fan. I;m sure when the time comes that the Cubs do win, your moment will be very similar.Finnigannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2691831480757500675.post-67666655100881108522010-10-14T11:51:18.731-06:002010-10-14T11:51:18.731-06:00Casey Printers is done.

He would have torn that locker room apart. Any team that takes a flyer on him now is simply ridiculous. Go back to Texas and take your soother with ya!!<br /><br />BarryAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2691831480757500675.post-36558118491271007742010-10-14T11:49:36.937-06:002010-10-14T11:49:36.937-06:00The domed stadium as it stands now is too big for ...The domed stadium as it stands now is too big for Regina. What would the cost of a 40-thousand domed stadium cost. Isn't that the size of the one in Grand Forks? That would be perfect for Regina. We could get concerts, trade shows, etc. etc and we would have two facilities for big name shows in BC and the new stadium. The show lounge would still get acts and I think there would be room at Conexus for various things as well. Hell, Regina might actually have a night where there are two or three things going on at the same time. I want a domed stadium, but I don't want it to be the size that some have suggested. <br /><br />GrantAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2691831480757500675.post-24956908020807807142010-10-14T08:44:15.818-06:002010-10-14T08:44:15.818-06:00Both you and Pedersen make me sick.

The projects we could have and won't because of this are ridiculous. Why don't both of you get on a soapbox and talk about how the government should fix highways or help the homeless or help high school graduates with university tuition.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2691831480757500675.post-22128221389505645282010-10-14T08:41:06.227-06:002010-10-14T08:41:06.227-06:00The scars will never heal.
