What kind of fan am I? Harry led me to the Cubs when I was a baby. Here is an entry my mother made in my baby book: "At 2 months and 3 weeks old the only place Erin wants to lay is on her back on a blanket in front of the TV. She loves listening to Harry Caray and watching baseball on TV." Still true 30 years later....

I wasn't daring enough to drive 40 minutes in -30 degree weather to attend this event last night. I did find an article about it though if you are bored and not able to attend the convention like me.

Here's my BCB shirt pic from the game on 091908. It was a beautiful and perfect day for a game even if the Cubs lost. It's ok since they clinched it the next day. I added some of my other pics to the BCB flickr group.
I also learned that Z drives the sweet black lamborghini that was parked next to the ballpark. Don't ask, just trust me.

Article from Peoria Chiefs website. Appears the game was suspended in the 9th and will be finished in Peoria tonight. Go Chiefs and Go Cubs!

Scrappiness is...

So I was skimming VEB because well, I had to find a way to stay awake for another hour at work, and found them enjoying this evil BCB post-

It appears to be similar to what we refer to here as Scrappiness. I know it has been discussed extensively and there are many examples of scrappy play, but we have never taken the time to really outline what scrappiness is. Thought this would help us forget this craptastic return to playing ball after the All Star Break and have some fun.

Young and Bard were wiped out in the same inning by Pujols last night. I don't usually have anything complimentary to say about Pujols, but he seemed genuinely shaken up and concerned. He even seemed to be saying a little prayer for Young while he was surronded by trainers etc on the ground. Both injuries were very gruesome. Watch at your own descretion.

Ok, so I am not usually this childish, but I felt compelled to post this pic in retaliation for the pic posted by a moran at VEB.

A friend of mine sent this to me and I thought it was worth sharing. On the Phillies blog they started a list comparing teams to bands. The Cubs one is kind of painfully true and the Cards one even more so. Enjoy!
