  1. It’s a great day! I enjoyed the ESPN opener last night, even though the Braves lost. It was a great game.

    Why not jump on the Braves bandwagon as Gammons, Stark, and Rosenthal have done?

    If the Cubs win the World Series on the centennial of their last World Series win, you’ll never — NEVER — convince me that it wasn’t a fix.

    Woohoo! I’m on my way out the door (and into a blizzard) heading to the Twins opener vs. LA.

    “If the Cubs win the World Series on the centennial of their last World Series win, you’ll never — NEVER — convince me that it wasn’t a fix.”

    A fix, or the providence of God?

    Go Cubs!!!


  8. I’ll go with what Misawa said, that way I don’t have to type it all out.

    If the Cubs win the World Series, I may become a Calvinist.
