    To my grandfather, who made me a Cub fan. I would spend weeks with my grandparents on their farm during the summer. He ran his own business and always had the games on the radio during the day, hanging on every word that Vince Lloyd and Lou Boudreau would utter. In the pre-cable days of the mid-70's the only time we could actually watch the Cubs was when the local affiliate would have Cubs games on Sunday afternoon. It was a ritual to sit down after Sunday dinner and suffer with our beloved Cubbies. Many a Sunday afternoon started with him cursing the bums in Cubbie blue, and end with him snoring in "his chair" while the Cubs lose another game, season or decade. He died in 1992 having never seen a title. The last time I saw him I placed my favorite Cubs hat into his hands so he could take it to his eternal resting place. I am not a religious person and do not really believe in heaven and hell, but if I am wrong I know he is smiling and laughing while dancing a jig over this championship.

    I love everyone right now.

    This is truly the first game of the postseason that I have been nervous about before the game. It has gotten too real now. It has finally sunk in. The Cubs could be World Champions in five hours. With apologies to my wife and kids, this could be the best day of my life.

    Go ahead. Pretend you are Trump and grab that....

    Yes he is. Seems to take it very seriously and comes well prepared. Not a big fan of his but I'll give him credit where credit is due. ARod taking about KB's character. He had great things to say, but what would he know?

    Instead of having Bartman throw out a first pitch if the Cubs get into the WS, they should bring him and Joe Buck out to the mound to let Bartman repeatedly kick Buck in the crotch. Awesome game last night. I am not sure kicking him in the crotch would be any kind of punishment. Having Bartman start pulling out hair plugs, on the other hand....

    Javy is the new Castro, except he is good at baseball and stuff.

    Plesac just said this is a must win for the Cubs. Horsefeathers!

    I thought ARod was pretty good. Rose looked like a ventriloquist's puppet. Thomas was man-crushing on Javy, but was ok. Note to all: When trying to figure out the correct term for a ventriloquist's puppet, don't google lap puppet. Just don't.

    Pete Rose looks like he just lost a bet on the game.

    Congratulations. I tried every game and number of ticket combinations for any seat available, multiple times. Eventually I got a message to try back in ten minutes, which turned out to be more of the same rejection.

    I would have had a better chance at hitting a Chapman fastball. I ended up in the virtual waiting room for four minutes and there was nothing left by the time I was let out.

    If only there were two or three months left in the season. \:D/

    I feel like the jockey on the horse at the Kentucky Derby passing all of the horses down the stretch, only to realize that Secretariat has already finished the race and is in the Winner's Circle. I've had a good second half of the season after being as low as 12th in the standings. I nearly dropped Abreu at the ASB, but I am glad that I didn't pull the trigger.

    Fred has always been on of the iconic posters here. His unbridled enthusiasm for the team was always a breath of fresh air. RIP Fred.
