My gosh, this was a crazy game.
I was doing a fair amount of doubting before the comeback for the ages in the 9th inning. What a rally…what a finish! The Cubs showed a lot of heart out there.
This lifelong fan is beyond excited for what’s happening and what (hopefully) might be to come in this year’s playoffs.
Go Cubs, Go!
I still can’t believe it! My beloved Chicago Cubs took down the mighty St. Louis Cardinals Tuesday night to wrap up an epic series and set off a celebration that hasn’t been experienced by Cubs fans in, well, forever.
They did it! They really did it. This young team, not expected to do much this year, outplayed the class of the division and the league, their arch rivals to advance to the National League Championship Series. And they did it at home!
I can only imagine what it was like being inside the hallowed grounds of Wrigley Field for this game, or Game 3 the night before. Two amazing performances with tons of fireworks and drama…and two Cubs victories to win the series.
Cubs fans everywhere are going bonkers with jubilation, and I am included in that list. I danced in the street last night. I chest bumped a co-worker who’s a fellow Cubs fan at work this morning. My parents refurnished their bathroom cabinets yesterday to fend off the nerves of anticipation for the game. The excitement is overflowing!
It’s an amazing feeling, and I hope the Cubbies can keep it going. Congratulations, guys and thank you for providing a lot of people with a lot of joy.
Go Cubs, Go.
As such, I must at least acknowledge this with some sort of blog post. 🙂
Here’s hoping the Cubbies can make a run in the postseason this year. Nearly 100 wins in the regular season, exceeding expectations, tons of excitement along the way…and for the moment, it all comes down to a one-game Wild Card matchup against the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Regardless of what happens, it is very nice to at least be talking about the Cubs in October – heck, the second half of the season for that matter.
Excited to watch the game Wednesday night and I’m optimistic (sign of any true Chicago Cubs fan) that we will be hoisting the W flag afterward in victory.
Go Cubs, Go!
As such, today, I present you this…
What a play! Nice teamwork out there by the second baseman, Omar Infante and the shortstop, Alcides Escobar.
I’m sure there’s a metaphor there about the importance of being a team, but for now, just enjoy the play. 🙂
Have a great day.
Ok, I will admit. I’ve been pretty far removed from the game I grew up enjoying for the past few years. Yes, a big part of that is because my team, the Chicago Cubs really has not been anything remotely close to average, much less good in recent memory.
But, hope springs eternal and this year, the Cubbies look like they could be pretty good. New manager, new players, new attitude. And…renewed interest from this fan.
I found this great app, called MLB At Bat. Lets you keep track of all things baseball, and it lets you access TV and/or radio broadcasts of the games, for a fee.
I went with the radio subscription. $20 for the entire season, with no blackouts and with access to broadcasts from both the home and away teams of every game. That’s a lot of baseball!
For me, it means getting to listen to Pat Hughes right on my phone. Good times.
You can also listen to archived games on your computer…which is nice when you can’t catch the game as it happens. There’s even a button to hide the scores when you go to listen to a replay. Cool stuff.
Looking forward to listening to the games this spring and summer. It’s nice to be back in the ‘swing’ of things with baseball. Hopefully the Cubs can put together a good year. Either way, it’s fun to enjoy the games.
Have a great day.
