My Good Luck Charm Is Gone....

Well, my girlfriend and I will be celebrating the 1 year anniversary of our first date tomorrow.  The Cubs were 27-32, but they were about to break out.  We moved fast, and I moved in to her place unofficially on August 1st, the day we took over first place.

She's never known the Cubs as losers.  She's always surprised when I get upset when they go downhill, though since she's been studying them, she's getting a grasp of our reality.

Well, she left a few days ago to go to Ireland....as a matter of fact, she left the day our 9 game winning streak was snapped.  They've gone 1-3 since she left.  I'm blaming her, and the stupid choir that she's singing with!

She's not due back until next Sunday, and I'm hoping I can get some people to sign a petition that says she's not allowed to go on vacation during Cubs games anymore.  Here's that petition. 

P.S.  If we win the World Series this fall, I'm propsing....and she'll say no, and tell me to wait until next year!

EDIT:  I want to add that this is a joke.  I did this because I miss her, and I thought it would be a funny way to show it.  In no way do I seriously believe that her living with me have anything to do with the Cubs winning....unless we win the WS.

Bring her back!

This is far too important to joke about!

I suggest you get her to take up smoking, so she can ruin her voice and stick around.

Does Soriano's defense at 2B really cost more runs than in LF?  He makes a lot fewer errors in LF since misplays and mental mistakes aren't figured into the stats, but I have to imagine that his mistakes are more physical at 2B.  Any thoughts?  Is there a statistic on this?
