It was 15-1 in the 8th when I started DISing. I sure hope they won!!! And, I SAW ALL the homers! It was truly amazing! That Mark Prior is some kinda kid, too! I saw him pitch at Wrigley last week, what an exciting game!

 

[helenabear]

Kim, they won. The score was still 15-1 at the end.

Sorry this is a bit long but is true for all Cub fans....

Thanks Elaine! WHEW!! With the Cubs, ya just never know!

mamajoan, that's hysterical! I knew where it was going but, I'm LOL nonetheless!! Never heard that one before!! And, since I went in April (freezing) and, in August (actually a beautiful day IN the park, HOT outside the park!), I can sooo relate to this!

Now, if Hell would just freeze over ~ I'd be in Heaven!!!!

Thanks mamajoan!! I'm cracking up!

 

[mamajoan]

Hey Kim, Glad to give you a late night giggle.... Cubs fans are the most optimistic fans on the planet!

GO CUBS!

Mamajoan, I'm sticking my fingers to my temples and sticking my tongue out at you.

 

[mamajoan]

LOL browneyes.. right back at 'cha hon!!



I have been a long distance Cub fan since I left home in Illinois 23 years ago... I just hope someday, just someday the Cubbies might make it back to the series...

 

[browneyes]

LOL, MamaJoan! I've lived in Georgia all my life, have never been to the Windy City, but I've always been a Chicago fan (baseball AND football). I hope to one day make it to Wrigley. Think they'd let me play a game or 2 with them? I might help them make it to the World Series.

 

[fireplug]

Sammy hit a GRAND SLAM today


14 RBI in two games


Steve

 

[Lanshark]

If they could only spread it out over a few games

MAMAJOAN,

LOL. I am going to call my father and read it to him.

GOOOO CUBBIES!

 

[Minnie824]

I hate to be the one to say this, but Sami, and the Cubs, aren't doing so well this year (as usual). Although, the White Sox aren't doing much better - they're still better!

 

[browneyes]

American League? YUCK!
