Cubs Caravan

[CultofCubs]

Well I went to the Cubs Caravan last night in Freeport Illinois, it was a good time. There were a lot of questions directed to Lou Pinella and some the Theriot..all the women there seemed to think he was pretty Hot, including my wife.

Anyways Pinella says that his projected Lineup would be as of right now would be:

1st: Lee
2nd: DeRosa
3rd: Ramirez
SS: Theriot
C: Soto
RF: Fukudome
CF: Pie
LF: Soriano

And the Number 1 starting pitcher as Zambrano. Pretty strong lineup this year I think.

He also said they were working on signing 2 more players but didn't elaborate on that.

It was also pretty funny that he couldnt pronounce Fukudome's name either, he kept calling him "That Kid from Japan" and a 10 year old kid asked him a Question about Fukudome and pronounced in flawlessly, he was pretty impressed.

Overall it was fun and I was able to get Pinella's, Sinatro's, Rich Hill's and Len Kasper's Auto's.

Good times.

Who was the friendliest guy you came across?

Scar, as you likely know, Kasper has done plenty of things with us over at CubsHub, I HIGHLY doubt there are many people who will come across nicer than him...

Which reminds me we should get together come questions and I can do another Q&A with him...

I would have guessed Kasper would be a good guy.

Hey your welcome.

I was only able to Meet Pinella and Hill. My Wife was able to meet Hill and Kasper.

Pinella was really nice, very talkative, Sinatro just seemed to be going through the motions. My wife said Hill was pretty shy like and Kasper talked with her for awhile and was very nice. I heard Theriot was pretty outgoing to. He made some funny cracks on Samardjza (Spelling) and Notre Dame football this year.

Good time overall though.

Hey the tickets were only $50, which included a dinner of baseball type foods, Hotdogs, ect.

But you could pay I think $300 for a ticket that included a private dinner with the players and coaches and you own time with them to ask questions also. they are the VIP tickets.

I'll definitely be there next year.

They also stopped by to see our Little Cubs Field.

Really good information there. Thanks much for that. Hopefully those two signings can go through, as you can never have too much talent on a ballclub.

Also, gotta say, the one time I met Len Kasper he was one of the nicest people I'd ever met, even if it was only for about 30 seconds, and you could feel his goodness just by looking in his eyes. He really is a genuine good guy.
