Oh! Angie, you gotta keep watching! Please! I had been keeping an eye on things, it was 3-0 Marlins, I was sad, read your post, checked back, Cubbies just got 3 runs!!
Wood homered??!!
Yes, and so did my favorite ex-Astro on the Cubs, Moises Alou, just now to make it 5-3.
Schweeeet.
Oh boy!!
(I actually wrote the incredulous "Wood homered??!!" before I'd seen your post, PDiddie -- pitchers homering is, er, RARE.)
ANGIE! Where are you?? I don't care if you've had a whole case of beer, stay OUT of the bathroom! Keep watching!
it would be a dream come true to see the sox and cubs go at it in the end.
Marlins lead 6-5 in the sixth.
Right down to the wire.
I'm here.
Unfortunately, Kerry Woods is gone.
I will continue to cheer the Cubbies on, Sozobe, but just for tonight. If they make it to the series against the Sox, well, you know where my heart will be then. If the Yankees make it, I'll cheer for the Cubbies, or the Marlins, or ____________________. (yep, fill in the blank, ANYONE BUT !).
7-5.
I know I should stop watching, but I just can't.
plenty of time left,,,,
if the 'boys of summer' could pull it off so can the cubs.
One more chance ....
Sozobe, .... you there ?
You gotta believe !!!!!
I'm turning it off off off. Can't stand the suspense.
Plus if they pull it off, I will take full credit.
And if they don't, it's not my fault.
Tootles!
nahhhhh, don't do that,,,,,
Hey, the Sox live to play another day !
I have a feeling Cubby fans will now become Sox fans.
GO SOX !!!!!!!
Thanks, fbaezer, for your explanation. It's the first one I've heard that I can truly accept and understand.
However, I'm neither arrogant nor a sore loser. If the Yankees don't win the pennant, I'll survive. Haven't decided yet whom I'll root for. Probably Boston. Despite all the negative remarks, I think it would be nice for that team to win. It's been a long time. And the Marlins are a team without history.
I don't have any tranquilizers in the house. I'm not sure I'll be able to watch the game without them. Good luck Boston people. May the best team win.
I like what fbaezer had to say also Roberta. And never take what others feel for your "sports team" personally. I care very much for you! Besides, I am also a big
fan! Nationally we have a tendency to be "hated". Possibly because we have 7 championships out of the last 53 years (hopefully one more this year) - I think that is because we are such a relatively small school in a small state not on either coast or connected to the deep south or great lakes region.
Anyway, for professional sports - I go for Houston teams!
Terribly sadden by the Cubbies loss and my heart goes out to the fan who reached to eternity!
