I LOVE THE CUBS!

I'm 18, a graduate of Byron High School in Byron, Illinois and I've been a lifelong Cubs fan since I was born on October 6th, 1989...in the midst of the Cubs/Giants NLCS.

Born to be a Cubs fan...born to cry as a Cubs fan...

Last year, for my 18th birthday, my parents bought me a ticket to game 3 of the NLDS...and the Cubbies got swept on my 18th birthday!

My favorite Cub of all time is probably Ronnie Santo or Fergie Jenkins...and my favorite current Cub is far and away Aramis Ramirez.

I own 3 Cubs jerseys, (Soriano authentics...home and alternate, a Zambrano home) and 2 Cubs authentic caps (home and road).

I've been to 24 Cubs games in my life...my first being in 1998 during the stretch run...2 in 2000, 1 in 2003 (Cubs/Cards), 3 in 2005, 1 in 2006, and 16 last year...3 in April, 3 in June, 3 in July, 2 in August, 3 in September, and the home playoff game.

I love the Cubs more than any other sports team in the world and I always will!

I look forward to a great 2008 Cubs season and I'm excited to go to more games!

GO CUBS GO!

Well, MLB screwed this up, first postponing the announcement for over a week and then trying to save face by unjustly suspending Gameboard for a game. This is obviously a public image move..because they can't completely eliminate the suspension. It would make MLB *gasp* actually admit wrongdoing for once!

BCB Yahoo Fantasy League

Hey everyone, I just wanted to let you know that I got around to it and created a Bleed Cubbie Blue! Yahoo Fantasy Baseball League.

The league currently holds 8 teams but everyone who wants to join is invited. The maximum teams is 20 so hopefully the league can be filled.

The info for the league is as follows...

ID: 62093
PW: lebron

Draft Time: Monday, March 23rd @ 7:00 pm.

Please join only if you intend to stay active and participate.

Sorry Al, I couldn't find the old fanpost on the topic so I created a new one.

Thanks to all who join and good luck to everyone in their own leagues this year!

Go Cubs!

Look...this series is not over...so don't act like it is.

I get the fact that the Cubs have been playing terribly of late...Fukudome, Sori, Lee, Soto, Ramirez, Theriot...none of them have been doing anything.

Zambrano wasn't too bad tonight, the defense failed him...DeRosa and Edmonds are the only two laying wood on the ball...but they showed signs of life in the bottom of the 9th and ended with a little momentum.

Who's to say that Rich Harden can't come out and dominate game 3 Saturday night?! Rich Harden is rested, healthy, and ready to get out there...I anticipate and have been calling a Cubs victory since the rotation was posted...Lilly has been on fire and has that bulldog mentality to get this team back home in Chicago again.

Down 2-0, facing seemingly insurmountable odds, it's easy to hang your head and give up hope...but we've been through too much as fans to just GIVE UP on this team!!

So in short...DONT GIVE UP ON THIS TEAM!!! We have the best chance of anyone to comeback down 2-0...the offense is bound to hit in warmer LA...and Rich Harden and Ted Lilly arguably could have been the starters in games 1 and 2...let's keep it together until we're officially done and hope that the best...(an epic all-time comeback..hey we've had a few of those this year!) is yet to come...

GO CUBS!!
