CUBS fans are very resilient, no?

Gooney, what is The Gorge ?

Well, by golly, we had a tornado out here in Lake in the Hills at 9:06. Sirens went off, got very dark, and it's raining like hell. No indication that it touched down, but we're still under a warning, and they're talking about the possibility of golf ball sized hail. Fun, fun, fun !!

I dont like the wind blowing out with Mr Solo Hr Harden pitching. Yeah, there is a definite liability there..... 04/06 - 06/18 HR/9 Harden 1.63 CUBS 1.00

Widely scattered storms across the area, 30-35% chance of rain in the afternoon, wind blowing straight out to center field at 10-20 mph. Temps in the mid 80s. Could be just what our offense needs !!!
