Cubs

This was taken on my phone just hours after the Cubs clinched the division title.

cell phones

Cell phones are truly amazing. Here's a picture of Nancy and me taken with Nancy's cell phone a while back in the bleacher seats at Wrigley Field. I'm not going to tell you the date of the game because it took us a while to figure out how to send the file and format it properly. :)

Not bad for a cell phone camera?

Is this the year?

My favorite thing said to me this week about the Cubs making the playoffs.
"Laurie, I heard this is the year for the Cubs. you know why?... The goat was spotted hanging out in Solider Field."

Brett

Before I get carried away with the Cubs, I must send props out to Brett Favre of the Green Bay Packers. Need there be more proof he's the best quarterback ever?

Rally Monday

In 2004 MLB declared the Monday after the regular season as "Rally Day". this gives the winning teams a day for a rally. Sounds like fun. So what do you do when your team has already arrived at their playoff city. Well I'll tell you what they do... you invited all the old players, the Mayor, the Governor, and have video clips of a few players saying hi with Wayne Messmer leading the way. The best part is a few thousand people in the middle of the city singing the National Anthem, Take me out to the ball game and Go Cubs Go! Definitely lots of fun. I can't wait for the next rally, the day after the Cubs win the NLCS.

Central Division

Believe or not the Cubs did it. Central Division Champs of 2007.

There will be baseball in Chicago in October.

GO Cubs GO!
