What a heartbreak '84 was though.

Great team. Loved the Sarge, Harry, Sut, Ryno, etc.

Fucking Padres.

Yep. My first true introduction to Cubs misery.

Loved Dallas Green. IIRC, he was trying to rebuild the farm system until Tribco got rid of him. Dallas told it like it was.

Oh so hard to hear.

LOVED that 84 Cubs team. They took the summer by storm. Everyone had Cubs Fever.

Green took all the Phillies discards and brought that winning attitude to the Cubs. And great trade at the time Joe Carter for Sutcliffe.

Best summer of my life. And in the fall they unfortunately showed me what Cubs heartbreak was all about.

Everything the Cubs have today is off that 84 team and Dallas Green. Before 84 nobody gave a rats ass about the Cubs and Wrigley as a marketing gold mine.

RIP

Agreed, Hawaii.

Don't forget Harry.

I had a high school golf match the day of game 1 versus San Diego. I came off 18, went in the clubhouse and they were up 11-0. I was absolutely convinced they were winning the World Series. What a great season not counting the Padre series that was.

Dallas Green appears in a couple places ... maybe others too ... it's an hour-fifteen of covreage:
https://youtu.be/X12lKPvCXdc?t=11m56s
https://youtu.be/X12lKPvCXdc?t=25m54s

God damn there was such promise at that moment, not to mention even more after going up 2-0 on the Padres.

Amazing how fast he made that team a winner too. To bad Tribune fucked with him.

Lots of fire on that team: Bowa, Moreland, Sarge, Cey then good vets he acquired (Hebner, Johnstone);

People forget about how special that year was.

In 1983 the Cubs and Mets were playing to get out of the cellar.

In 84, NOBODY thought the cubs could contend. They were predicted for last or near last. And there was no hype or looking forward to that cubs season.

Then they just came out of nowhere. They were so fun to watch. They were in a pennant race past June! The media by then was all Cubs fan. They hyped that team up and yes Harry had a lot to do with it too. Everyone was a Cubs fan that summer.

And ya, they had some fire. I remember 2 or 3 games where there were bench clearing brawls , maybe all against the Mets at Wrigley. I remember Moreland went after a Mets pitcher (Lynch??) who threw at his head.

I remember they were in NY and lost the first game of the series to the Mets and I got depressed thinking we'd never beat the Mets. Then they beat the mets like 8 in a row and owned them that season.

I was at one game where Pete Rose was playing for Montreal and the Expos were rallying in the 9th. Then out of nowhere, Rose hits the ball off the shortstops knee, pops in the air, gets caught and double's up the runner on base to end the game. I'm getting to old to remember exactly who but it was unreal. I was also at the game where Sandberg hit a walk off vs the Dodgers.

Also people forget the Cubs were almost blowing it before the Cards/Pirates series to close the season. They were doing so many interviews and specials the last 3 weeks of the year that they weren't winning games. But I think they swept stl and got the clincher at Pitt.

The only time I cried for a sports event was when they blew the pennant vs the Padres.

Special team special season.

Just found this on youtube :

1984 Chicago Cubs "Hot Days Of August"

hey i had one of those Cubs Painter's hats back then. :) Damn loved that team! :cry:

I caught Rozner's segment on Greene this afternoon. Barry did a great job letting people know a lot about Greene they might not have.
