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

Ive got a little foam bat. My friends put tape on the handle and pine tar on the tape, and I pick it up for good luck… and it helped, didnt it?

wow
Fontenot may be the least likely looking home run hitter. He packs a big punch with his 5-foot-8 physique. Where's the power come from?
"I don't know," Fontenot said. "I've always had decent power my whole life. I guess it's bat speed. Timing a little bit. My grown-man strength."

I’ll probably get a noise violation for that celebration, but who cares!!!!

i don't know how many of follow the game via gameday
and listen to wgn on mlb.com, but gameday is about 20 seconds ahead of the radio, and if there is a quick out or strike out, you can hear the click of something happening….usually bad news…..not this time!!!!! i had my head turned and heard that click, and i was cursing…..
