yeah, and remember just a few months ago when people here were complaining that they were "sucking?"


as an NJ native and NY Mets fan, here's hoping detroit ties the mark for worst record ever.

To bad the victory is tainted by having that CHEATER sammy sosa. He should have been suspended for the rest of the year.

i do not view the cubs winning their division as being tainted by what happened with sosa-he served his suspension. i think the only thing it will affect is how people will view past accomplishments (home runs, slugging, etc).

if the cubs become the league champs, it would be great to see them and the red sox in the world series.

steve gave me some shit last summer for wearing a cubs shirt.
he said that the white sox, and especially the twins, were "real" ball clubs.

and now, he's catching foul balls...

Especially when that chicken has 7 young pitchers that throw 95mph+. I wonder where the Mariners are this year?

yeah, yeah....the m's are at home is where they are

wood looked amazing last night

but he still had to drive in half his runs

anything can happen now that they are in the playoffs

so good luck to all y'all cubs fans, seriously now--knowing that john novotny is freaking out in some bar across town was the main thing that warmed my heart when the cubs won last night

in the long run: the cubs need some hitting and they need to spend the money to keep wood, prior, zambrano/clement as a unit. then they have a shot at being dominant. their pattern has been to keep one of those guys as a ticket draw, and let the other guys find their way out of town. it will be interesting to see if the organization seizes the opportunity to be great. they've never done it before.

but if you are a cubs fan, you don't give a fuck about the long run right now

this is very true, tim.
all i give a fuck about right now are runs, period. preferrably, home.

congratulations to all the cubs fans here.


me, i'm back on the east coast praying for the red sox tomorrow night.

once they get passed the A's it's time to saddle up and pound the evil empire into submission.


here's hoping for a chicago v. boston world series.
