Cap Standings
I have a tradition, or perhaps you'd call it a ritual or superstition, while attending Cub games.
I never go without a baseball cap. And, over the last few years, I have done this: I'll wear a cap until the Cubs lose while I'm wearing that cap, then change, wear the next one till they lose, etc. This doesn't mean that once they lose, I'll never wear that cap again; I can come back to it later in the season. Don't worry, I have LOTS of caps to choose from.
The only exception to this is my 23-year-old fitted Cubs cap, which I wear only on Opening Day.
This year, I've decided to keep track of the club's record while wearing specific caps. You can track the progress here throughout the season. Click on the thumbnailed cap to see a full-size photo. I'll update this with each game I attend, and there's a link to this post on the right sidebar under "Stat Corner".

That reminds me of my delima. I have a pretty cool Cubs jersey, but it has the #21 on the back. It had "Sosa" above that when I got it a few years ago, but I had a girlfriend take that off (I don't wear other guys names on my back.) I really don't want to go number-less... but don't really like to "represent" Sosa.
I just don't know what to do.

Speaking of jerseys...
I wore it "out" for St. Patrick's day (took the day off work...let's face it, drinking Guinness has to take priority on March 17th) and received more compliments on my attire than I did when I wore a tuxedo for the first time....
I love that jersey, though...simply because no-one in Denver has ever seen anything like it before!

I have an old wrigley shirt
Also, I rub the names on my autographed hat when they're batting. It got me a foul ball once!

When I'm playing softball
When I was a kid I remember my dad throwing slippers at the t.v. a lot.. I don't think that was so much a superstition as it was repressed anger from 1984.

Tonight's Game
The Trib says A-Ram "is likely to play in Pittsburgh" though that doesn't specify tonight's ballgame. The same article in the Trib says J. Jones likely won't be ready to go until the trip to Los Angeles on Monday.
Juan Pierre is 1 for 1 with a HR vs. Santos.
On the other side of the coin, Derrek Lee is only 3 for 18 vs. Santos. Two of those three hits were HR's though.
Michael Barrett is only 2 for 19 vs. Santos and Hank White is 1 for 1 vs. Santos, but I don't see Barrett getting two days in a row off as hot as he's been.
After yesterday's less than ideal line-up, I'm hoping for:
Pieree
Walker
Lee
A-Ram
Murton
Barrett
Pagan
Cedeno
Marshall
Go Cubs!

Okay, I'm totally not a brokebackphobe, either, quite the opposite. But I just can't lay off that joke.

And people wonder
I don't understand why they say that to me.
And that's even when I go to Padres games, and the Cubs aren't in town...
By the way, didn't Victor Santos just win the Presidency on "The West Wing?" He's starting tonight for the Buccos?

I wear ONLY my old Cubs cap to every game
During a game we caught in that oh so PAINFUL last 2 weeks of the 2004 season in Cincy, my wife and I thought we'd try something different. My family and I did a reunion there and everyone was decked out in our Cubby blue. My 3 year old niece was absolutely adorable in her Cubs cheerleader outfit. But I left the old cap at home and wore my equally battered old 1998 Cubs Wild Card cap, and I even took the one I had in storage all those years since then and gave it to my wife to put on. We were hoping the magic would rub off.
Unfortunately, that was the night Greg didn't have all of his stuff and we lost, although we did get to watch one monstrous Alou shot that, for a moment, united every Cub fan in that place with absolutely wild abandon. For a moment, we thought we might get a handle on things. It was not to be ..

Ok.
But we won...
So what do I do tonight? The game's on WGN. Do I watch it? Is it better luck for me not to???? I don't know what to do!!!!

I'll distract myself by putting on a play featuring my superfluous Peeps menagerie that I have somehow acquired in the past two days... Happy Easter all! And if you need an extra sugar boost, I have plenty to go around!! PS they're fun to blow up in the microwave.
