Have we crucified anybody yet today?

no
you were supposed to bring the nails.
I'm a Cubs FANATIC. They are my team, through thick and thin. When they play over their heads, and when they play under the gutter. When they win the division, and then get swept in the division series. When they get no-hitters and when they blow no-hitters. And some day, when they go all the way and get those rings. This is the kind of fan I am.

Mauer to the plate
strike one.
I'm a Cubs FANATIC. They are my team, through thick and thin. When they play over their heads, and when they play under the gutter. When they win the division, and then get swept in the division series. When they get no-hitters and when they blow no-hitters. And some day, when they go all the way and get those rings. This is the kind of fan I am.

That could have been real bad

Mauer
pops it up. Riot makes the catch. He and Sori almost collide. Two outs.

Brenley with another Soriano bash...
“Soriano hasn’t gone after balls like that, so Theriot felt he had to go after it.”
Ladies and gentlemen! It's 1985 all over again, but this time the offense goes to hell!

He's telling the truth
I wouldn’t trust Sori to make that catch, either.

The Cubs "Pull a Homer"
http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Pulling+a+Homer
Achieving success with luck when failing the attemp (from the simpson series) “a fluke”
The star player in basketball game slipped during the last seconds of the game causing the ball to get accidently hurled at the net and making the winning shot and so “pulling a homer”
Ladies and gentlemen! It's 1985 all over again, but this time the offense goes to hell!
