I just had to say this to someone, and since I am stuck at work... how about them Cubbies! It may take them 17 innings, but we're in no rush.

What about the AL?? I'm having a heck of a time finding someone to talk "Mariners" since I moved to the East coast (who wants to talk about Boston  ) it's even worse when they play the (yuck) Yankees  ....

Well I'll make you a deal - I'll root for the Mariners (after all, they have my favorite ex-Cub lefty) and you must root for the Cubs.

I've gotten less into major league baseball and more into the minors. I mean, the closest major league team I have is the Brewers, with that over priced monstrosity of a field/arena/spaceship, when I can see the Wisconsin Timber Rattlers in Appleton. And they play a good game!

Thankfully my boss lets me have the ESPN GameCast running whenever there is a Cubs game (as long as I get some work done).
You are going down Cardinals!!!

I'm a die hard Cardinals fan from Central Illinois and I'll be down in St. Louis on Sunday rooting my team on. Cubs always start out well and they always falter, so just wait and see. Haven't you heard what CUBS mean? Completely Useless By September

I would normally agree 100%, since I have been suffering for 34 years, but barring injury - the Cubs have never even come close to having the kind of pitching staff they have now.

Let me just say, I really miss Harry Caray. And now that Ernie Harwell has retired, I don't really identify anyone as the summertime "voice of the game"...

Now hold on a minute Cubbie... Just wanted to say that I dig all your responses and contributions to BOL...but let's get something straight... Cubbies may be one of America's teams and I don't dispute that, but I remember my priest referred to the Cowboys as "God's team" and Texas Stadium has an opening on top so God could see His team play.

Congrats! It was a great game. It was more than worth it for the Cub fans to drive an hour into Milwaukee to root for their team! Go Cubs!

If the Cowboys are God's team, then why would He have let Reggie White and Irving Fryar (both ordained ministers) play for the Eagles? (And for the Redskins, as was the case with Fryar.) Wouldn't that be a conflict of interest?;)

Lil Bit, I had the fortune of watching your beloved Rangers get dismantled by Pedro & Co. last night...from on top of the Monster Seats! They are truly incredible - swivel bar stools, tons of room, and the best view in baseball. CubDave, we tried our hardest to get one of the outfielders to re-enact Sosa's 'how many outs', but to no avail as of yet...

Texas Stadium may have the opening so God can see in, but Wrigley has the Ivy so that God can invite all his living creatures to the game where they can blend in unnoticed and actually watch the game "inside" the best ballpark in the world.

Nice to here there's a few Mariners fans out there. Sometimes I feel so isolated in this corner of the country. I agree the "classic" ballparks are great, but of the newer parks, "The Safe" is really a fantastic venue for baseball.

I have nothing against the new parks either. A lot of them look beautiful - I would love to be one of those people who travel the country to see each one. I will say that of the ones I have been in, I was very close to claiming this one as beautiful as Wrigley, and there are aspects of it that are nicer - Coors Field (regardless of the fact that the pop-ups zoom out of the park. It's just a gorgeous field, with the mountains, and the concourse is just wide open with no covering so that you can see the mountains, stars, etc.

My husband, son - who was five at the time, and myself attended a game at Wrigley in 1994. That was one of the best sports experiences in all my life. My son can barely remember it but we have some great pictures for him. That place is indeed legendary.

with a father who was a huge Cubs fan, so I secretly root for them even when they're in town (as they are today!). Of course, I can't admit that to anyone I work with or I would be in serious trouble. Go Cubs!!!
