Eaaaaasy there. Let's not get ahead of ourselves.

fukudome's "welcome to the cubs but i'm sorry here's where i peak" homerun opening day.

 

i don't think i've loved a cubs player more, ever, during that one day.

[TruffleShuffle]

i think the colorado game was my favorite. i had pretty much thrown in the towel and was still watching online, i guess i had nothing better to do that day. everyone in the game thread was making fun of the cubs and saying ellis burks and mike greenwell just homered, lou pulled the regulars, and all of a sudden the cubs just start hitting homers. and not even good players; blanco hit a 2-run homer and edmonds (we all thought he sucked then) hit a 2-run double. then kerry wood got in trouble in the 9th and got out of it. craziest game of the year.

Haha

 

Check out what posted on page 10:

 

I actually feel like the Cubs can win this game.

 

Not sure why

 

More AF premonitions...

[Ski]

Wow. What a great year.

 

-The first game against Houston in Houston. Soto's inside the park HR, Jimmy Ballgame's great catch that saved at least 2 runs, Marmol coming into the game with 2nd/3rd no outs, and gets out of it, and Berkman getting shutdown while he was batting .395.

-Comeback game against Colorado. I was at a friend's house, asked to check the Cubs game, and saw that they were down 9-1. Come back to see that they had won 10-9

-9 run inning against White Sox, with Jimmy going yard twice.

-Ronny Cedeno playing ridiculously well in April.

-9 game winning streak

-August 6th game at Wrigley, which I was at. Marquis gave up a 3 run HR to Carlos Lee, then Cubs score 8 the next inning. Deroa's grand slam was the first HR the Cubs had ever hit at a game I was at. It took 6 games.

-The Brewers series in July. I was listening to game 4 on the radio while I was driving down to Chicago and heard Jimmy go yard twice. I was ecstatic.

-Reed Johnson's game tying HR against Arizona and his go ahead HR against the pirates.

-Soriano's go ahead HR against the Astros and walkoff hit vs the Dodgers

-Soto's 7 RBI game in Pittsburgh

-The 12 and 15 inning games in Pittsburgh.

-Rami's go ahead grand slam against Phillie, with the awesome bat drop.

Rami-s go ahead home run against the Giants, along with the awesome bat flip.

-Yesterday's game against the Cards, where Wood got Pujols out to end it.

-Marquis being the stopper during our 6 game losing streak.

-Throwback game against the braves, which had Jimmys game tying HR, Reed Johnsons walkoff HBP, Len's hey hey call, and one of the best game threads ever.

 

Hope we have many more moments in the postseason, Cubs!

From the AP. I believe you could call that hit a decleater.

[Andy]

This Astros debacle just got added to the list.

[Athletics36]

Its amazing how everybody forgets but for me it had to be watching my Son get his 1st MLB win at wrigley!!!!!!

[chuckywang]

Strangely, I love Fukudome's go-ahead single after a great AB in the 9th against Saito.

[B]

reed johnson's running/diving catch with his hat brim flattened out.

 

ahhh thought I was going to get it but nope at the very last post you beat me to it ... that is one of the best catches ever IMO.

Except about 4 people had already beat him to it.

 

 

 

Sean Gallagher's 1st win. :wink:

[Cubs08]

The tornado game at Wrigley was crazy

[Sammys Boombox]

aramis's grand slam against philly, the walk off against chicago, daryle ward's homer against florida, and the huge comeback against colorado.

 

oh, and lance berkman darting off the field in the lightning storm.

 

I was sitting just off 1st base when he did that. We were all making so much fun of him.

[RedFlash]

The moment I remember most of this season was:

 

Ryan Theriot's lone homerun. It happen on my birthday---April 15th---and it hit it against the Reds off Coffee at Wrigley.

 

You don't forget about "The Grits" lone homerun. Favorite moment of the yr.
