Well, they're sure not gonna sing "root root root for the Astros".
Or even "Yankees".
With Carlos Marmol joining the party, there are now 9 Cubs at the All-Star game.
He joins Carlos Zambrano, Aramis Ramirez, Geovany Soto, Kosuke Fukudome, Kerry Wood (not playing because of a blister), Ryan Dempster, Alfonso Soriano (not playing because of wisdom), and the Magic Bus Driver, Lou Piniella.
I remember in 1996 when the only Cub All-Star was a manager's mercy-pick, Steve Trachsel.
Ouch.
My buddy David Oif got me hooked on his favorite part of the whole game, the introductions.
When each guy gets his name called out and gets to step out of line and tip the cap.
Sorta goose bumpy, that part.
Usually, I don't care much after.
But this year, think I'm gonna watch.
Go Cubs.
All 9 of you.
