Put Jason Marquis on the postseason roster … as the first left-handed bat off the bench.

Awesome experience

I was fortunate enough to be at the clincher Saturday. If I hadn’t gone with Cardinal fans, I still might be at Wrigley celebrating.

When I watch baseball highlights on ESPN, I’m amazed at the number of empty seats in parks where teams still have a shot at wild-card berths. At Wrigley, very few people left after the Cubs won. The crowd waited for players to come out and celebrate with them. And the fans were rewarded as players came out and sprayed champagne as far into the seats as possible.

As we made out way  out of Wrigley, I don’t think I’ve ever high-fived that many strangers in my life.

As happy as fans were, I got the sense that they knew the REALLY big celebration is a few weeks away. I’m glad I got to be a part of that one.

BTW: Bike check is the way to go.
