Wasn't Ozzie Guillen's quote something like, "Wrigley Field makes me puke!"?
You know, Ditka used to do this stuff when he'd put on his rollerblades and make fun of the Vikings' dome.
Make fun of the other team's field and you get all kinds of ink and attention and you rile everybody up...
So glad the Cubs were able to pull one out.
Seriously, I cannot remember the last time the Cubs had anything you'd remotely even think of as a "rally".
You know - that thing where one guy gets on base, and maybe the next guy walks, and then somebody else gets a hit and a run scores, and then somebody else gets a hit and knocks in a couple more?
It's called a "rally".
Sometimes maybe 3 or 4 runs score in one inning.
It's crazy!
But that's what happened in the 8th inning yesterday.
And not a second too soon.
People were literally about to jump ship.
Sutter was muttering in the hallway about another horrible loss about to happen.
Then, he must have had a radio on or something because he ran back into his office.
"LEE JUST HIT A 3-RUN HOMER!" he yelled.
I sprinted down the hallway.
"But they're still down by one so don't get exci-JESUS SOTO TIED IT UP!"
Something like that.
Went down to my office and emailed while listening to Reed lead off the bottom of the 9th with the single, then the sac, then the out, then SORIANO drives in the winning run.
Pandemonium at the park, Ronny with the yelling, just...what we needed.
Cubs 6 Sox 4.
And I'm all the way back in the Cub Fan lobby, just like that.
Okay, you know who comes to town tomorrow.
A couple ex-Cubs by the name of Wood and DeRosa, that's who.
I'm on a plane with my son tomorrow, and we're gonna go catch a couple stripers up at Lake Powell with his Grandpa and Uncle.
We'll be out of range of anything that has to do with communication.
I'll miss a couple posts this weekend, but when I'm not here PLEASE keep the comments coming.
Fish ON, my Cub brothers and sisters!
