Lilly!

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.

I got the $60 super deluxe edition.

First CD I ever bought was Crash, and this year will include my 23-26 concerts.

The su-du edition has 6 discs, including a DVD, and original art from Dave. It’s well worth it. This is the best album since Before These Crowded Streets, without a doubt.

This tour is very atypical of years past.

It started a few weeks ago, and goes well into September. If you want to get a show, I’m sure you can. LeRoi’s death really lit a fire under these guys, they are playing better than I’ve heard them since early 2000s.

baseball is a game of outs......pop out, ground out, line out, pitch out, strike out, fly out, and Fox and Bud's favorite black out

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.

Fly ball to center

deep over Johnson’s head. Blanco scores, Jones has tied the game.
