What a series with the Cardinals! Three ejected in the series :eek: WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW! Cubs win! Cubs win! Cubs win! nitro
The big difference for both ballclubs at this point in the season is that they are FINALLY beating the teams that they should beat and hanging tough in the games with top notch teams. Case in point, the White Sox had a tough time with both Detroit and Cleveland all year long, now they are finally taking these games seriously and executing well. Same thing can be said for the Cubs who swept the Brewers and will need to take care of clubs like Cincinatti and Pittsburgh to finally take the division. I am a bit more concerned about the White Sox since they have so many games left against the Twins and KC. Both those teams always play the Sox well and each game will swing the standings strongly...
FFastFill wants to do it... I was wondering having a little get together on Sunday.... Reason is... I have nothing planned on Sunday and it's good to have this before the weather gets all bad and I start becoming Trade Dormant....
Gann- Sunday sounds good...if we have enough time. Why don't you call me at my office 800-278-6308 and we will chat about details Susan
canyonman00 suggested I come by this thread after I started another thread about my trip out to chicago. Anyhow I will just cut and paste what I wrote on the other thread. I am going to Chicago next week for a week of interviews with trading firms. Since I have never been to Chicago I would like some suggestions of things to do or places to see while I am there so that I can get the best feel of the city to give me a better idea about making the decision to move there or not. I will be taking the woman so I would like something that might impress her to get her excited about the city. I am staying in downtown Chicago so getting around should not be a problem. I will also be there over a weekend so should have some time to check things out. Also does anyone have suggestions of other firms to contact out there for futures trading besides the ones that are easily found through internet searches etc. I know there are a lot of trading firms out there that are either hard to find, no internet presense, and have no easily found contact info. I am mainly looking for futures trading firms and plan to do some knocking on doors during the week between my interviews. You can PM this info if you would rather not give out the names and info in the public forum.
