CUBS WIN! CUBS WIN! CUBS WIN!

Walk-off win in the bottom of the ninth to beat the Padres 3-2! 10th walk-off this year. That's what I'm talking about.

Fly the W, baby!

Many years ago, my aunt, uncle and I were playing Trivial Pursuit and he got the question "which major league team did Ernie Banks play for his entire career?" My uncle is not and never has been a sports guy. I was sitting there with my fist in my mouth to keep from screaming "THE CUBS!" He finally guessed the Cincinnati Reds. Actually, I was surprised that he even knew Cincinnati's baseball team is called the Reds.

I fly the Cubs Flag with the W.
My neighbors have asked about it.
I told them I only fly the flag when they play the Padres!

but I only did that after George "Dubya" Bush left office because I didn't want people to think I supported him.

By the way, I'm STILL bitching about the 1984 play-offs between the Cubs and Padres after all these years!
