With the hawks and the atmosphere of the stadium. I was at Buehrle's perfect game and at Kerry Wood's 20 k game, but that was probably the third greatest pitching performance I have ever seen. Certainly the greatest non-complete game i have ever witnessed.gocubs235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4884680044445124885.post-65504225836726962452010-04-08T21:08:53.119-05:002010-04-08T21:08:53.119-05:00YES FINALLY, GO CUBBIESYES FINALLY, GO CUBBIESjoshcmartin1http://www.blogger.com/profile/15787789825317328371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4884680044445124885.post-29894597307842453642009-12-18T11:47:34.781-06:002009-12-18T11:47:34.781-06:00...please where can I buy a unicorn?...please where can I buy a unicorn?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4884680044445124885.post-64349479123018662442009-09-11T11:13:12.117-05:002009-09-11T11:13:12.117-05:0037 is also the magic number for the Ocho Stinkos37 is also the magic number for the Ocho StinkosAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4884680044445124885.post-33960145763614861132009-09-04T17:14:12.429-05:002009-09-04T17:14:12.429-05:0019 Anon!19 Anon!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4884680044445124885.post-6269801090231259362009-09-03T23:41:59.990-05:002009-09-03T23:41:59.990-05:0022!22!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4884680044445124885.post-88161079818083978552009-08-29T16:29:52.002-05:002009-08-29T16:29:52.002-05:00Get ready for next year Cubbies...it is all over. ...Get ready for next year Cubbies...it is all over.

But even though we haven't won it all, there have been a lot of great moments too. I'm sure everyone can think of at least a dozen triumphant games that you either went to or watched on TV with friends. I guess you have to try to remember those moments in these desperate times.
