Default Wrigley home opener
A friend of mine sent this last night. He is disturbed by the loss of purity to historic Wrigley Field due to the Jumbotron. It is quite a contrast to the old fashioned scoreboard.uploadfromtaptalk1428325132412-jpg

The purist in me winces to see it. The realist kind of understands why it was done.

They've done the same thing to Fenway Park. They've made several changes and upgrades over the years. They have a jumbotron there but they still have the old manual scoreboard. You get used to it in a very short time and if done right, the new blends nicely with the old.

I will have to show this cover to my father a very long term Chicago Cubs fan. He has been waiting and waiting and waiting for that World Series win.

One of the items I brought we me when we moved here is my dad's Cubs baseball hat.

Love to wear it so my diehard neighbor (a Reds fan)goes nuts when he sees it.

As we say in Chicagoland "this is da year".

Somehow, even with a good team, the Cubbies fold at some point, it's just understood.
But I'll root for my teams anyway.

But I like the Rays and Red Sox too. Good luck.
Cubs didn't fold this year. A young team that has won last 8 games going into playoff with the Pirates. Look out this really could be the year!

Cubs/Cardinal series would be special.

Congrats to the Cubs, quite a pitching performance. Arrieta has Cy Young written all over him. Cubs/Cardinals division series up next.

Default Go Cubs Go!
Go Cubs Go! Right after 10:00 p.m. tonight the streets around Wrigley Field were filled with jubilant Cubs fans. Could this be the year? Fingers crossed -- my father was 15 years old the last time the Cubs went to the World Series in 1945, so I am hoping for his sake that this is the Cubs year. For the Cubs to go to the World Series would really make this year a good one for him.

Having #14 on their uniforms is a good sign...

Default Baseaball been berry berry good to me.
Thing's could be way worse. You could be a Yankee fan...shut out in a one game playoff...George Steinbrenner must be on a rotisserie in his grave. Then we have the NY Giant's who hand over the first game of the season to Dallas...before it happened I gave Ms. Priscilla the script of how they were gonna hand the game over to Dallas. Now for the entire balance of the football season I have to hear about it from my kids & friends. I'm changing to all Florida teams once we move....except the Yank's just can't give those bums up.

My son and I used to go to the Rays games and were always in awe at what Joe Maddon was able to do with little money and young players. Glad to see he still has the magic touch to have a winning team. Will be for Cubs just for Joe.

Jake Arrieta, winning pitcher last night at locker room celebration. Looks like pro wrestling could be his next career. [emoji6]

Jake Arrietta gave a dominate performance........ nuff said.

I never thought Pittsburg would survive the one game playoff, with Jake going for the Cubbies.

MY sentimental favorite for the World Series.

GO CUBBIES!!!!!
