    I'm not sure if that's normal, but the Reds always seem really bitter about all the Cubs fans there. And I couldn't see the out of town board from my seats, it was killing me. Me neither. What section were you in?

    I'm a Cubs fan because of my best friend, who forced me to watch Cubs games on TV with him. My casual rooting interest in Atlanta because of my living in SC until I was 10 was quickly junked, even though the 1st season I really watched the Cubs was 2000 - hardly a noteworthy season. I'm a Cubs fan because it took me many years to realize it, but baseball's my favorite sport. I'm a Cubs fan because of Chip and Steve, and now, because of Len and Bob. I'm a Cubs fan because I want to live on the north side some day. I'm a Cubs fan because Wrigley Field is heaven. I'm a Cubs fan because it was destined to be so.

    If, as is likely, we play Arizona, the Cubs will be playing at 9.

    I'm getting drunk tonight at a party and probably talking Cubs with about 50 people :D

    I want to play Philadelphia. So win the wild card, please, Mets.

    That will be mine if and only if we don't make the World Series. If we do and lose, I'm getting an NL champs shirt. If somehow we win that, I'm going broke.

    I wish I'd gotten tix to Game 4 :( Sorry I can't make it. But if we get to, God willing, a clinching situation for the pennant and/or World Series at home, I'm coming up, I don't care what I have to do.

    Being in Cincy for the clincher and being a Cubs fan overwhelming that park is beyond amazing. I joined this board two years ago and ever since then I've been waiting for this exact thread. No sports fans in the world deserve this more than the great people at NSBB. 11 wins to go, my friends. Let's go and get them.

    Ask and ye shall receive... How the hell are we the NL CENTRAL CHAMPIONS???
  11. Andy
    How did I forget the best part? - Parading out of the GAB, singing "Go Cubs Go" with and high-fiving complete strangers because the soap dropping Cubs are going to the playoffs. - At least four cars in the parking lot alone as I was leaving had the song playing on their stereos. Top 10 day of my life.
  12. Andy
    Is it on the Cubs' broadcast or the Reds'? You can see it better on the Reds'. I just saw the Sportscenter highlight using CSN's broadcast and they didn't zoom in as far. I put my hands up because I was celebrating the homer, then the ball bounced into my row so I made a reach for it. You can see me if you're looking for the tall guy with blue sleeves. :D THE CUBS WON THE SOAP DROPPING NL CENTRAL DIVISION :)

    I never want to forget: - The adorable 3-year-old Cubs fan who sat next to me with his mom. On the way out I told him to 'enjoy the playoffs. They don't come around very often for us.' - The crazy Mexican guy in the Carlos Zambrano 2006 ASG jersey who kept tossing peanuts to everybody. - The guy holding up the "It's Gonna Happen" sign. - The guy holding up the "Wrigley Field South" sign. - The guy holding up the "Do You Believe in Miracles" sign. - The drunk guys behind me who kept me posted on the Brewers game. - The stadium erupting when the 3-2 Padres lead popped up on the scoreboard (which I couldn't see in the OF terrace). - Wrestling for Derrek Lee's home run ball with the guy next to me for about 20 seconds before I determined that he was never going to give up and letting him have it. I'm in the video wearing that It's Gonna Happen shirt. - High fiving the drunk guy in front of me and talking about Mark Bellhorn when he pinch-hit. - Soriano nailing another runner at home plate. - This, right now. Me chugging Old Style and typing this post. WE WON THE SOAP DROPPING DIVISION AND I WAS THERE TO SEE IT. :D

    Please let it be tonight.

    I'm going to high-five some Cubs fans in Cincy if we win, then come back and drink with my roommate. I turn 21 right around the end of the World Series, so if we somehow won that, I'd probably die.
  16. Andy
    So yeah, I got tickets - paid about 30 bucks including all fees for seats in the outfield terrace (lower LF bleacher area). I'll be there. Hopefully the Brewers fall behind big early tonight.
  17. Andy
    Well, change of plans - my friend's grandfather is now in the hospital, so he may not come this weekend. I'll probably end up going to Cincy tonight. If anyone else will be there PM me for my cell number by about 3:00.
  18. Andy
    The 2007 Cubs are better than the 2006 Cardinals by a fairly wide margin. However, whether that will translate into getting anywhere in the playoffs is another story.
  19. Andy
    Len said the game's been moved to Fox on Saturday. 3:55.
  20. Andy
    Notre Dame will score 4 touchdowns on Saturday...unfortunately at least 2 of them will be against reserves
  21. Andy
    I hate this - I'm having a friend visit this weekend and he can't be here until 8ish, killing my hopes of going to the game tomorrow. On top of that, the game being moved to Fox for Saturday kills me going to that and my radio show kills Sunday. So in the event we clinch this weekend I won't be able to catch it.

    I don't know that I'd put much, if any, blame on the coaches for this. Jones just seems to have issues. He's recruited by Charlie Weis, who everybody knows won't run an option-type offense (which is what Jones would excel in). So he gets mad when a very good prototypical (best for Weis' system) beats him out and leaves without telling anyone to go to NIU. Now, for no real good reason, he's leaving NIU about two weeks later to go to Cincinnatti. Kid needs to make up his mind and stick to a decision. From what I know, I don't blame the coaches. Kid would've broken every single-game yardage record on the books against Ball State's defense, so I shed no tears here.

    Screw AL teams too. Cubs or bust. I related to Boston until they won in 04.
  24. Andy
    What the hell is this? Screw 2nd teams. Cubs or bust. I'll root against our rivals in October and that's the closest I'll come.
  25. Andy
    How the hell are we in first? I believe I have two more L's before I get another start. If I get another start I'm going to hurt myself.
