WGN Special on Chicago Cubs

Burgerflickle · Post by **Burgerflickle** » April 20, 2008 8:23 pm

I was just watching this and its about 60 years of Cubs history, and it shows many celebrities talking about being a Cub fan, and it showed Jimmy singing take me out to the ball game, and singing the national anthem, and his concert and then he talked about being a Cub fan and how he likes the underdog. I thought it was really cool.

Was it made by the same guys who did the thing on the Cubs of the 2003 season?

Its about 60 years of WGN-TV a local commercial stations is having their 60 year anniversary this year . . . granted the Cubs are a large part of that it is not all about the Cubs . . . The station would have never made it with JUST THE CUBS . . . .I mean they plan on spending a good amount of time talking about Bozo The Clown as he originated on WGN from their studios as did Donahue who they already spoke about . . . .

Silly Cubs fans . . . . If it were about the Cubs it would have been a 100 yr anniversary special about how many other teams have won the World Series since the Cubs last did . . .

Not even close.

I gotta admit, though- when all the redbird morons come to Wrigley, you bring some pretty tight trim with you.

I hear that brother...I guess we'll agree to disagree(except for the trim part)

I saw back to back shows listed on my DirecTV guide... 1st one was specifically Cubs, 2nd one was WGN. I didn't watch 'em though.
