I love Carlos but that was just luck.

[otis89]

Muy bueno! An insurance run or three would be nice this inning, Cobs.

[Brian]

giving Lee the night of was criticized, but thankfully Ward brought his bat and has made all the plays.

[anabiono]

My heart stopped there for a second.

 

 

yeah...watching the cubs is somewhat bad for my health

[inari]

On another note, I'm turning 20 in just about 3 and a half hours. Gulp.

 

Happy birthday, fellow Hawkeye! Let's hope that the Cubs help you celebrate.

 

I think there's three or four of us that post here. Good stuff!
