I just had to post my experience from this evening. I watched the first part of the game here at home. Oregon State (my boys) kicked off the football season tonight so I went to the bar to watch the first half. Then all of a sudden the text messages started in on my phone. These are not cub fans but just friends that know I am a cubs fan and I have been talking up how important this series is. I got 10 texts in 2 min and I just knew what happened and who did it. Al is right and it is just starting to sink in. Remember where you were and what you are doing… This team is something special! WOW

Goosebumps...

….I’ve seen about 6 replays of that Rami homer where they show the fans behind the dugout. Most have their arms up, but when it actually lands, TONS of people are just jumping up and down like crazy. Gives me goosebumps every single time.

Man, what a great win.

Aramis Ramirez

deserves to be in the same discussion as any top clutch hitter in baseball: Ortiz, Manny, A-Rod, Pujols. I think he’s the most underrated guy in this league, if not the entire Majors.

Not disagreeing with you

Ron spent 15 seasons with the Cubbies.

This is A-Ram’s 5 1/2 (counting a full 2008 season).

Ron was 4th in ROY and MVP votes of 4, 5, 8, 8, and higher a few times. A-Ram’s been 10, 13, and 17.

I hope he’s just like Ron, in fact.

Aramis Ramirez for MVP

He is making his move at just the right time…

Seriously, he has been lights out lately, and jumped up to join the league RBI leaders.

Aramis Ramirez and Reed Johnson during warm ups at their rehab assignment with the Peoria Chiefs at Kane County. Aramis Ramirez missed a home run by about 2 feet at his first at bat and ended up with a stand up double. He later took a base-on-balls and scored twice. Reed Johnson also had a hit and scored. Here are the rest of the photos.

by ccav23 1 day ago 7 comments | 0 recs

Buster Olney said a few days ago that the Braves would entertain offers for their 26 year old shortstop (who makes 450k) Yunel Escobar. He is a plus bat, a solid defender, and would move Theriot to his more appropriate position at second. They are looking for a bat in return. Apparently Cox doesn't like the guy. I couldn't even speculate what we'd have to send them in return, but I think he would be a good fit given his low salary, his productive bat, his position, and his age. I don't care if he's a jerk if he makes the team win more. What would it take?
