This is the end....

The fat lady has not sung, but from what I've seen recently, I'm not sure why I should believe the Cubs can pull this off. That said, they do have a team capable of winning three in a row now. However, the odds are not in their favor.

Can we get at least one win? I don't want another 3 and out. It's very demoralizing as a fan.

In other Cub related news, an Elgin high schooler was told her Fukudome jersey was inappropriate for school and had to wear a gym class tshirt for the rest of that day. Talk about educators being out of touch with the students.

Now, even given the concept that someone is so blissfully unaware of our Cubbies, couldn't one of the big brains that discussed the matter have looked it up on the Internet? They do have computers don't they? Apparently the matter was sorted out by the afternoon after a call from the student's mother to explain the situation. This kind of thing is just too absurd to believe.

Best of all was this quote from the mother that appeared in the Courier News online article

"She's a big Cubs fan, and we got the jersey at Dick's (Sporting Goods). We
were going to get a (Kerry) Wood one, but it cost more," said Nancy Howe.

Now that's good stuff.
