Yep. Nothing yet.

According to family that works in the chron marketing dept this is a complete shlt show. Her exact words were 'Typical chron operation'.

The online store was run by a third party (Shopify IIRC). Well Shopify didn't relay to the chron that they had orders so all these order we're just sitting there. By the time the chron got wind of it they had at thousands (if not hundreds of thousands) of orders to fill.

They haven't caught up and they have no clue when these will get filled and be delivered.

I received mine a couple of weeks ago.

I placed two separate orders. One had the frame-able poster 11x22 and I got it. The other had 6 copies of the chronicle and I still havent received it yet.

They should have used the theme from Titanic.

We're about to go a full day without a new post here. I'm not ready for this thread to die just yet.

Here's something to make you all smile:

Astros sweep Rangers

The following Monday the Astros beat the Rangers 12-2 and I read somewhere that was the first time in Astros history that they scored in double digits in four consecutive games. I found that hard to believe at the time. Anyone know if it was true?

Received my chronicle and si orders last week. Received a SECOND chronicle with postage due that I didn't order & gave it to the mailman for a Christmas present

George Springer was interviewed on the latest Baseball Tonight podcast. Starts about 28 minutes in.

You'll love hearing him talk about seeing the joy on Biggio and Bagwell's faces.

Tomorrow will be the 1 month mark.

And it's still not old!

FS1 has a 2 hour highlight show on tonight at 9pm for the World Series games... looks like it will be worth recording to me.

Just finished this. Great show. May have gotten a little emotional reliving it all again.

Received order confirmation from Chronicle. Ordered day after the win. Says should ship by 12/18.

My sports illustrated magazines came rolled up with a rubber band by the damn post office.

Kill them all

May not have been her fault. At one point that's all they were offering.

Curious if anyone else had fraud on the card they used? The Topps, Chronicle and SI all had some pretty shady confirmations. On the card I used someone tried to charge $520 on it last week. First time I've ever had that happen.

I haven't had fraud from the Chronicle but the SI Re-Issue of the original magazine with Springer on the cover still hasn't arrived and they never provided tracking. Saw on my statement they charged me last week for it so hopefully it arrives soon.
