Good Times...

So I fly all the way back to Chicago (from LA) for a Cubs game this weekend against the Cardinals only to see the absolute worst game of the season. St Louis scored 5 in the first and another in the 2nd. It was 9-0 before I even finished my 1st Old Style and I had to leave to take a "calm me down" walk after the 3rd batter of the game (Pujols). Lou pulled all the starters after the 4th so from then on it was like watching the Cubs in Mesa in March. Awesome! Ended up losing 12-6...and as of today, Sept 23, their only loss in a week. That's what I bring to the Cubs...bad luck! So, I'm making my pledge now to stay away from all post-season games! The Cubs have a great chance to come out here to LA and play the Dodgers...I will not be there. In fact, I may fly to Chicago to be as far away from them as I can...
On another note....The Cubs clinched on Saturday and there was nothing better than seeing the team on the field celebrating with the fans who wouldn't leave and just kept singing "Go Cubs Go." Big Z pouring champagne into a fans mouth in the first row (was he even 21?), DeRosa dumping Bud Light over Fukudome...just a grand scene all around! We'll see what happens the last week of the season. So far so good. No hangover on Sunday and then Marquis has the game of his life on Monday keeping the Mets in another collapse situation. Also, who could have asked for a better weekend in Chicago and Purdue...Good time & Great friends!! A big thanks to all of those who made the effort to hang out even if just for a little while. I had a blast...even though Harry's wasn't in the picture! Seriously though, good shit!!!! We need to do it again soon. In the meantime...Go Cubs!! Da Bears!! Boiler up!! BYE!!
