Dome walks. Blanco to the plate.
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.
Yahbut
It annoyed the heck out of me hearing Buck wet his pants when he read the Cardinals players on that list.
One day I hope to come up with something worthy of this space.
Of course
I try to keep it PG on this board.

No apology needed.
Your play by play is priceless. I don’t have cable… not relevant today, but in general, appreciated.

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.
Wow.
What was Konerko swinging at? Gamecast had that ball a foot outside.

Well actually he was sore but since Lou ran through pitchers like crap through a goose they had to use him last Saturday so blew out his arm pitching two innings. Let’s hope he comes back soon and as good as he was.
