I continue to tell him, I say, ‘If it was the hair, I would have snuck into your apartment when you were in Boston and shaved your head.’ I said, ’It’s your ability.

Start the day...

Its not Randall Simon territory!!! The Magic Number is 35!

One thing you learned as a Cubs fan: when you bought you ticket, you could bank on seeing the bottom of the ninth.

D Ward provided some magic

Wouldn’t you agree?

He certainly didn’t need luck – he destroyed that ball.

Let it be

Let it be either Kerry Wood or preferably Daryle Ward tomorrow!

But I love Kerry but I think #34 should belong to the greatest #34 in sports history one Walter Payton.

Go Cubs
