Not to mention that's a year's worth of showering for your typical Cardinals fan. Maybe Dempster was doing him a favor...

while my brother and I were in Wrigleyville Sports across from Wrigley after the Red Scum took the division in 05, our wives waited outside. We were in a pretty ugly mood. I have to admit it, but we were.

They conveniently said nothing to us until we were in the car headed to Harry Carey's southbound on Clark and then told us two drunken Cards fans had razzed them outside the store. Smart move. We would have gone back and probably done something really stupid .. like introduce them to what the inside of a Chicago ambulance looks like, and I would have been begging forgiveness a week later after they came out of the coma.

But cooler heads prevailed. Thank God for the wives of Cub fans.
