imagine the view of the ivy and bleachers enconsed by skies bluer than indigo, the smell of the lake and the din of the crowd. a ball pounds into the catcher's mitt and the umpire's grunt that surprisingly yet unambiguously means a strike. the white uniforms and blue pinstripes with a scattering of red - the colors of freedom and baseball as we know it. the vendors hawking cheap processed sugary treats and Old Style for exorbinant prices. the crack of a bat and the roar of the crowd. the sun beating down through the thick July air. it's baseball season - the time of year when we remember our sandy lots of little league. the time of year to be optimistic. the time of year to embrace a game that is infinitely better than the doldrums of daily life.
is this the"cubs way" that i have been hearing so much about.
oh Speedy, open your heart and your mind to the loving embrace of Cubs baseball. love without expectations. never stop believing. be expansive in the universe rather than contracting within.

You paint a pretty picture...
My picture has....
A ground ball going through Leon Durhams legs.....
Our left fielder, Moises Alou, blaming some poor kid named Bartman, and ruining that kids life....
My picture shows a team that has accomplished NOTHING in 100 years....
My picture has a lot of clouds and Rain!!!
hehehehehehehehe
Take me piece by piece..... Till there aint nothing left worth taking away from me.....
Hopefully he does well enough where we can trade him for prospects. We are at minimum 2-3 years away, so he is really of no value pitching for us, trade him and get some more prospects.

Coached by a bunch of ex Brewers I luv it.
Just what the Cubs need to bring in to the mix....
A bunch of chicken, pig, and cow farmers.....

Serious note Dale is a good coach and all Brewer fans are happy for him for getting his shot. You guys are gonna be just fine.
