I just wanted to chime in and say that finally seeing this lineup (in the World horsefeathering Series!)is like having the girl you've fantasized about for two years but finally gave up on coming up to you and whispering......well, exactly what you wanted to hear.
At the All Star Break? Hell...Saturday night... True, I was just trying to think at what point of the season the Cubs had the lowest odds of even making it to the WS.
I was calmly reading the thread when I again caught sight of the thread title and burst into hysterical laughter. Now I might cry again. Good grief this is amazing.
I just can't articulate this feeling appropriately to anyone. Every superlative has exhausted it's meaning. I'd probably do just as well with grunts and loud gestures. You guys understand, though. We're here.
Fri-Sun. Not a lot of financial flexibility right now, but I'm not missing this even if it means I'll probably be sleeping in my car and spending my money on beer. Would love to meet up with everyone.
Thanks, everyone, for being my Cubs family for the last 13 years. My grandmother was the only other real Cubs fan I knew and she passed away last winter. Thought about her a lot tonight. What a ride it's been and the best is yet to come. Hope to finally meet some of you next weekend.
If they do this, I'm making the 1000 mile drive for games 3,4, and 5 next weekend. Likely no tickets, but I'll be at Murphy's or standing out in the street. I've invested too much into this team to not be there.
