Eddie Vedder

Don't let anyone say that it's just a game
For I've seen other teams and it's never the same
When you're born in Chicago you're blessed and you're healed
The first time you walk into Wrigley Field
Our heroes wear pinstripe, heroes in blue
Give us the chance to feel like heroes too
Whether we'll win and if we should lose
We know someday we'll go all the way
Yeah
Someday we'll go all the way
We are one with the Cubs
With the Cubs we're in love
Yeah, hold our head high as the underdogs
We are not fair-weather but foul-weather fans
We're like brothers in arms in the streets and the stands
There's magic in the ivy and the old scoreboard
The same one I stared at as a kid keeping score
In a world full of greed, I could never want more
Than someday we'll go all the way
Yeah
Someday we'll go all the way
Someday we'll go all the way
Yeah
Someday we'll go all the way
Someday we'll go all the way
And here's to the men and the legends we've known
Teaching us faith and giving us hope
United we stand and united we'll fall
Down to our knees the day we win it all
Ernie Banks said "Oh, let's play two"
Or did he mean 200 years
In the same ball park, our diamond, our jewel
The home of our joy and our tears
Keeping traditions and wishes made new
A place where our grandfathers, fathers they grew
A spiritual feeling if I ever knew
And if you ain't been I am sorry for you
And when the day comes with that last winning run
And I'm crying and covered in beer
I'll look to the sky and know I was right
To think someday we'll go all the way
Yeah
Someday we'll go all the way
Someday we'll go all the way
Yeah
Someday we'll go all the way
Someday we'll go all the way
Yeah

Rally Day

It's Post Season Rally Day 2008 today. It's beginning to be an annual event for the Cubs. I could handle that. It's a nice fall day, cool but good for standing in a large crowd of people for 45 minutes. Jim Belushi was the emcee for the festivities today. He did a great job. He has to do it every year. Our favorite governor Rod-B spoke, always campaigning, and sounding like the Cubs won the World Series. Mayor "White Sox" Daley spoke too. Of course Ron, Billy, and Ernie were there and a couple of the players popped up at the end. Harry Caray sang the 7th inning stretch and Jim ended the day with a new version of "Go Cubs Go".
"Hey Chicago what do you say... The Cubs are going all the way!"

Post Season. :)

When your short this is how you view the world... Can you see Jim Belushi?

A little bit of confetti to end the rally.

What a great upgrade to the Picasso, don't you think?
