but it was agony for me to see them go to the World Series last year after getting an incredibly lucky run of luck (and yeah, they got hot and made some good plays). But damnit, I’ve been rooting for the Cubs since the Denver Bears AAA club was the only game in town.
Go Cubs Go! Go Cubs Go! Hey Chicago, whadya say? The Cubs are going to win today!

Glad that you are along for the ride.....

Of course this kind of game happens while I’m at work.
THERE BETTER BE A REPLAY TONIGHT

Can anyone post DeRo's homer?
Gameday’s replay isn’t working.

"Very adroit in the outfield." - Lou, on Dome
I don't know if I posted this last year
but I felt that 07 was a set up year and we would be awesome in 08. So far, so good.
"WGN, Channel 9 Cubs Baseball, Excitingly, Importantly, Dramatically Yours." - Jack Brickhouse
Exciting now...
but still only May. I’m just as excited as everyone else, but still 4 months to go.
BELIEVE!
I feel so left out...
....in my area of Rockford we are forced to have Charter Madison, WI cable. The rest of Rockford gets Comcast. So, as a result I only get WGN and ESPN games. AH… my brother across town is rubbing it in my face.

Why I cannot watch Dome's homer on Gameday?
What kind of long ball was it?
I'm bleeding Dragons Blue.
Line drive to left center....
landed in the 1st or 2nd row. Was a low liner, so may have made it out even if the wind wasn’t howling out, but would have at least been a gap splitting double.
BELIEVE!
Shit I missed the whole thing
Could barely follow score at work ( my boss does not like seeing scores on my screen)
Well just remember ANY OF YOU COULD HAVE HAD MY TICKETS. I posted them on the
site but only one person asked. Great game Chris. Will get you another set later
You are clearly lucky

We are close to 1600
comments on the 3 threads including over 600 on the #2 thread.
I assume this is a record for one hell of a game.
Let’s go for #6 in a row tomorrow. Good -bye from the Left Coast…
THIS IS OUR CENTURY!!
Wish I were there
I got to watch much of the game at work, luckily.
This game will kill my fantasy team’s ERA (I have Cook), but what the heck. If he had to pitch badly, thank goodness it’s against the Cubs.
This game was so reminiscent of the Cubs 10-9 comeback vs. the Astros in 1989 (I watched that whole game on TV). They were down 9 runs in that one.
"Hey hey, kiss it goodbye! That one's in Milwaukee! Man oh man did he hit it. Isn't that something?" - Lou Boudreau, May 17, 1979
I remember that game very clearly
And I was thinking the same thing.
Wait a minute... who am I here?
Well, I had Lilly
And Aramis… and Soriano. I’ll never complain about this though!
"Whoever heard of the Cubs losing a game they had to have?" - Frank Chance
On Demand
How do you get this game? And when will it be available on demand? I want my 8-year old to be able to see.
"Hey hey, kiss it goodbye! That one's in Milwaukee! Man oh man did he hit it. Isn't that something?" - Lou Boudreau, May 17, 1979
I have this on DVR starting...
at the top of the 5th when it was 8-1. I’ll be saving this for a LONG TIME.
Still in shock….......WHAT A FEELING!
BELIEVE!
what a game
ty MLB.COM for restoring my account out of blackout seconds before dero’s homer… screw you mlb.com for robbing me of the rest of the comeback
