Hey! I will hold off on buying my 2012 Cubs media guide and all my other Cubs fan shop purchases that I uasually make at this time too. I really love the Cubs and am not going anywhere, but I don't want to invest in a Mr Ricketts' cheap team. I will be the 4th generation of Cubs' fan when I die to not see the Cubs win. And, beleive me, I don't blame Bartman or curses. In 2003, Alou was a joke. Read it in Jose canseco's book Juiced. Not only was he full of Steroids, he was blackballed by every umpire for making the fraternaty of Umpires mad. He wouldn't have gotten fan interferance if Bartman came on the feild and Alou knew it that is why the bad acting. Only one run goes across if Alex Gonzalez doesn't boot that sure double play. Gonzalez choked. Do you really think Dunston doesn't make that play? The next game Kerry Wood, who should be cut from the present team, pitched a beyond horrible game. Steve Stone left the Cubs for teling it like it is in 2004. What he said was the Bleeping truth. The Cubs were not playing to MLB capabilities. Now he is Stone Poney with the Sox because Hendry and Peter Chase wouldn't back the man who knows the game. The Cubs have themselves to blame for every disaster. Ronny never made any exuses and just appologized to Cubs fans and said he tried. That is why we love him so much. In 2008, Lou left Fukudome, the stone glove in right with the big contract, in way too long. He gave an automatic out with Aaron miles and Fukudome. Lou's legacy should be tarnished for that joke against LA. Hendry gave away De Rosa in 09 and Lou didn't care. I think 2009 was worse than 1996,1999 and 2006 combined becuase Lou should not have been there past the month of April. The Tribune did the same garbage the Ricketts are doing when they first bought the Cubs from Wrigley. Think that anyone is going to buy a comercialized Wrigley feild without a winner again and again? Be real? The Tribune put in the lights and have they helped at all? Let's see what the Ricketts could have spent their money on this season??? Maybe keeping Marshall? Shoping Marmol for Joe Nathan? Getting better scouts that don't allow tallent to get away at the top of a hat? Who is in Iowa now that is going to help us? No one. Is this Epstien from last years slack Sox or the one on Welcome Back Carter? It is just another gimmick. The way he is starting in 4 years he wont even get the Cubs over .500. At least Quade made moves during a game- strategy??? I think the 7 million we spent on DeJesus could have paid for Sam Fuld or DJ LeMathieu and some? One legit righthand setup man would have been good instead of remember when Kerry Wood. I like Jamie Moyer, but the best he can do is be a setup lefty? Woody has nothing. I like what he did for the Cubs, but the primary right hand setup? Give me a break! I thought this team sucked before the first pitch started but they are the Cubs. My beloved Cubs? They will win 65-75 games tops. The schedule should say wait till next year before first pitch just like last year while we play the Cub fans for their dough. Now I can't even have that little magnet? To Quote Harry "ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!" I am a Chicagoan in the middle of nowhere and a 1-5 team should not make a magnet for people to make money on EBAY. What makes me mad is they are fake fans. I wont buy it like a bleep prostitute. Why don't you get with the star wars guy and hord Darth vaders in Cubs unis. That is exactly what you are doing with the Cubs little magnet. I am a true fan. I have a framed ticket from the 1932 world series that my Great Grandfather attended. I have every magnet since 1989 from which I followed every year with my Dad that died March 9th of this year. I have a picture of my dad with Bob Rush on Wrigley feild as a kid that I am looking at right now. I will follow the Cubs with Pat and Keith, but I am not going to give the Ricketts a dime being treated like this. I am a loyal fan more than you will ever know. I will follow the Cubs till they're stadium looks like the old Roman collosium. You aren't breaking my heart. Sincerley,

my lfe is over/Sacred heart hospital killed my dad and I am responsibl
March 11, 2012, 03:32:am
My father was transfered from the VA hospital to SAacred Heart hospital on March 8 2012. He was to have a Bronchoscope Biopsy at Sacred Heart Hospital, a procedure that was contracted out by the Vetrans Administration and Dr Yurasek. The Procedure was performed by Pulmanologist Sam Joseph at Sacred Heart Hospital. The VA and Sacred Heart were not comunicating from the begining. Dr Joseph told me that he did not get the CAT scan taken at the VA and told me he was not going to look at. He said I should get it for him. I found this totally unprofessional and alarming. The next day after my father and I met again the Dr Joseph and signed his waiver. Dr Joseph said there was really nothing to worry about. He said some mild things that could go wrong. He only said as with all anesthatsi there is a chance of death. The next day my father had the procedure and died of Cardiac arrest from uncontraolled bleeding. When I saw my father, he was white like a sheet. Sacred Heart had him in a room and it seemed that Sacred Heart had tried to clean his upper body. Dr Joseph asked my family for forgiveness whlie my father lay dead. he said it couldn't be helped and that my father was a fluke accident. His forgiveness will not come from my family. And, I hold Sacred heart Hospital totally responsible. What happened to my father was never mentioned to me in the consultation the previous day. I would never have allowed the surgery to take place if there was any chance of this. Sacred Heart Hospital refused an autopsy upon my request to the Chaplen for I am my father's emergency contact and next of kin. I have asked Nate at Spokane Crematorium to have my father's body pulled aside for an outside Pathologist to perform am autopsy. What do I do now. I feel that Dr Joseph and Sacred Heart are responsible for my father's untimely death. I am very angry and want to start a malpracice suit against them. I am willing to spend my whole savings of over 10,000 dollars.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Letter to Maria cantwell
Dear Senator Cantwell,
I have wrote you many times about problems my father Larry T has had at the VA Hospital in Spokane' and you have done little or nothing everytime. This time my father is dead because of the VA Hospital in Spokane. My father was transfered from the VA hospital in SPokane to Saacred Heart hospital on March 7 2012. He was to have a Bronchoscope Biopsy at Sacred Heart Hospital, a procedure that was contracted out by the Vetrans Administration and Dr Yurasek. The Procedure was performed by Pulmanologist Sam Joseph at Sacred Heart Hospital. The VA and Sacred Heart hospital were never comunicating from the begining. Dr Joseph told me that he did not get the CAT scan taken at the VA and he was not going to try and find it. He said I should get it for him. I found this totally unprofessional and alarming. The next day March 8 my father and I met again with Dr Joseph and signed his waiver. Dr Joseph said there was really nothing to worry about. He said some mild things that could go wrong. He only said as with all anesthasia there is a chance of death. Otherwise I was informed of no other way of death do to this procedure. On March 9 my father had the procedure and died of Cardiac arrest from uncontrolled bleeding from Dr Joseph poking an aratary.. When I saw my father, he was white like a sheet. Sacred Heart had him in a room and it seemed that they had tried to clean his upper body. Dr Joseph asked my family for forgiveness whlie my father lay dead. he said it couldn't be helped and that my father was a fluke accident and couldn't be helped. His forgiveness will not come from my family. And, I hold Vetrans Hospital of Spokane and Sacred heart Hospital totally responsible. What happened to my father was never mentioned to me in the consultation the previous day with DR Joseph. I would never have allowed the surgery to take place if there was any chance of this. Sacred Heart Hospital refused an autopsy upon my request to the Chaplen, for I am my father's emergency contact and next of kin. I have asked Nate at Spokane Crematorium to have my father's body pulled aside for an outside Pathologist to perform am autopsy. What do I do now? Are me and my fatehr just another satistic? I am very angry at the Vetrans administration for contracting out my father's care to a butcher that killed him. I feel that my father was killed by same country he served dutifully from 1960-62 as a draftee. I am going to let it be know that I wrote to you in his obituary of how little the Vetrans Hospital thought of my beloved father. I will also say if you ever commented. As a law maker and advocate of vetrans, I also hold you responsible for my best friend not being here anymore. I think the VA is broken and does not care about Vetrans. Sincerely, Andy registered voter, 5th district
P.S. I am 38 years old and until my dying breath in this world, I will tell my Father's story and how Maria Cantwell doesn't care about Vetrans. I will also let every young person know that the Government does not care about a vetran after his great skills and patriotism has been used up. Mood: dead inside Music: silence
