That was an entertaining series. We wound up splitting the 4 games, but both teams showed up with offense and some pitching and fielding (and of course Santana's single, which I've never seen quite like that before). You're only a game out of 1st now, not sure who Philly is playing this weekend. We're up against the Brewers now in Mil., should make for a high energy playoff atmosphere for the 3 games. Good luck to you and we'll see you in the playoffs!!!

WHAT A TREMENDOUS SERIES. I KNOW THE CUBS DIDN'T PLAY ALL THEIR REGULARS, BUT IT WAS FUN TO WATCH.
WHAT A GREAT MATCHUP IT WOULD BE IF WE CAN GET IN THE PLAYOFFS.
THE BREWERS JUST WON WITH A WALKOFF GRANDSLAM.
THIS IS WHAT IT IS ALL ABOUT. |

Maybe a weekend trip, I'll go to a game with you. But it's gotta be a Mets game and you'd have to at least wear a Mets cap.
The surrounding neighborhood (Wrigley is smack dab in the middle of a neighborhood) and establishments have plenty to offer as well.

I think we both agree that the All Star game rule is ignorant, but it is what it is, no excuses, right??? Some team from the NL has to step up and bring the title back to the senior circuit!!! If not my team, maybe yours can do it.

Go Cubs Go
Go Cubs Go
Hey Chicago what do you say
The Cubs are gonna win today
They really have a team that can get to the WS, and maybe even win it!!!
Die hard Cub fan, but NOT a hater, Brewers have been a formidable rival since they switched Leagues, and I hope it never changes!!
Scorp, it doesn't matter who we face in the WS, but I would love to face the White Sox. They had their little party after '05. If the Cubs win it all, we'll be partying for a decade, hell, Chicago might not even survive a Cubs win (you heard the story of what Mrs. O'Leary's cow did, right? Amplify that by about 5 million!!! lol).
I do hope to see the Mets in the NLCS (would like the chance to break THAT curse as well. 
Good Luck Mets!!! (we're facing off this week for 3 games at Shea)  |

CUB FANS, IF YOU HAD A CHOICE, WOULD YOU RATHER TAKE YOUR CHANCES ON BEATING THE WHITE SOX IN THE WORLD SERIES OR HAVING THEM MISS THE PLAYOFFS ALL TOGETHER?

Congratulations even though they are my teams #1 rival. I did enjoy that no hitter the other day (was played in our stadium). The Brewers have been going down hill fast. So, good luck to the Cubs, hope they go all the way now that my team is pretty much out of it.
