Maybe not exactly in terms of volume of games per sport, but for the Cubs this 4 game series with the Cardinals is worth exactly one Packer game as far as credibility, mojo, and my continued faith in peanuts and Cracker Jack.
By the All-Star break, I figured I'd be worrying about the Cubs being too far in front and maybe getting lax in the second half or something.
Hasn't quite worked out that way.
If the Cubs can somehow pull out 3 of 4 or better, well - life could get back to good.
When the Bears are about to play, I don't think about anything but can they please kick ass.
When somebody calls to make a bet, I always bet straight up because I'm stupid like that.
Win.
Or lose.
And that's it.
So, I'm not gonna think about stats or records, broken toes, obliques or Gatorade coolers, or NOTHIN' that's not physically playing on Wrigley Field this weekend.
On Sunday night they'll raise a white flag and it better have a W on it.
It's not the whole season at stake, but in terms of emotional weight?
It's a Packer game.
