"Hey, Chicago, what do you say? Cubs are gonna win today!"
And, while we're within the Friendly Confines of Wrigley Field, we do. We win in routs, we win in extra-inning squeakers, and yesterday, we came from behind to win. At one point my Boys in Blue were down 9-1, and yet, how does that final box score read?
CUBS WIN 10-9!
Too make it even more fabulously cool, among the hitting heroes were Edmonds, Blanco and Hoffpauir (who?). As Lou told it, ''What can I say? We took a few guys out to rest, and the replacements kept battling. I got excited on the bench … it was the loudest I've heard this place. It was almost deafening. It was our day.''
"Our day?" Hell, Lou! Why can't it be OUR YEAR?
Good evening - Snowbird, here. Yes, that is a Florida Gator shirt that BB has on in the car seat pictures - purchased by his loving Mimi the first year we were down there. I'm afraid that in the past three winters, I have turned into a real Gator fan. I had to pay the kid a dollar so that he would wear the shirt on "casual day" at school one Friday. I think the money goes for the 8th. grade class trip - but, I really wanted him to wear that shirt!
