Shall we play a game?

2 comments July 21st, 2008

The Cubs’ pursuers in the NL Central meet in St. Louis for four contests. As long as the Cubs play winning baseball, they frustrate the winner and send the loser back another game.

But what should Cubs fans wish to happen at Busch Stadium from now to Thursday? The Brewers’ lineup is stronger top to bottom, in my opinion, but the Cardinals are proving to be peskier. Then there’s the fact that I despise the Redbirds more.

The choices, therefore, are a.) The Brewers; b.) The Cardinals; c.) a split; or …

d.) Global Thermonuclear War!

Premature punch

I’m not big on jinxes or curses. However, this makes me cringe.

It’s one thing to throw up a “It’s gonna happen” or “This is our year” sign in the bleachers. But it’s completely irresponsible as a Cubs fan to prematurely punch a World Series ticket in mid-July.

Patience is priceless.
