After the "Shark" (Jeff Samardzija) got called up from Iowa Triple A, we are following the Cubs even more. As I type this, we are watching them play the Marlins (drat, they are down 5-2, and the Brewers are winning).
As we were watching the bottom of the third, there was a ground rule double into left field, why ground rule, because the ball got stuck in the Wrigley Field ivy. It is so much fun to watch the Cubs play at home.
I look forward to the Cubs and Brewers playing early next week for a 4-game series in Milwaukee. Dan at Slapinions is a big fan, so I hope it is a good series, but hope that the Cubs take the series by at least two games :o)

It cracked me up when the Marlins guy kind of tried to look in the ivy for the ball! "The ivy-covered walls" indeed!

Ivy is nothing more than bug infested weeds crawling up a perfectly good wall. No need to romanticize it ;)
You can thank Jeff "I'm secretly on the Cub's payroll" Suppan for your one game lead going into the Brewers series. My Lord he sucks, and I said so from the minute he was signed.

Hmmm, ONE GAME LEAD. Nothing else to be said at this time.
Cubs gain is football's loss, go Shark :o)
Big Congrats Bucko!
