Go Cubs! Go Cubs! Go Cubs!

I grew up in mid-Wisconsin with no way to see pro ball for real (Milwaukee was too far away). The very first reallio-trulio baseball game I ever got to see was a Cubs-Pirates double-header when I was 12. It was the Cubs of Ernie Banks, Billie Williams, Ron Santo et al. The Cubs won both games, and I lost my heart (and mind).

I watched the first half of the 8th inning last night, and got to see Pujols' incredible throw to home. After watching Boston leave three men on, I figured I'd better stop watching or I'd jinx them...

If Boston can make it, why not the Cubs? Dying Cub Fan's Last Request
