My favorite summer activity has always been my trips to the friendly confines of Wrigley Field. I even was able to make a day trip out there a couple of weeks ago - DCA at 9am to O'Hare, see the game, drinks in Wrigleyville & Gold Coast, returned 12 hours later on a Wednesday (I love playing hookie from work with a good reason). But, second to going is having my beloved Cubbies come to me!
Last night at RFK was a blast. I was transported back to being 12 years old and giddy like I was seeing them for the first time. I've been a Cubs fan since I was born and the response I always get is, "ahh, isn't that cute?". We aren't contenders, we don't threaten anyone. Being a Cubs fan is like being from Sweden.

Although, being a Cubs fan is also loving the underdog, being loyal to your boys. I have to say, I was a bit torn last night. I felt bad for the Nats. As a partial season ticket holder, I also have some allegiance to those guys (even if they do have a "W" on their hats - why can't they say, D.C.? anyway..) As a lover of the losers, I really didn't want to see the Cubs beat them up too bad. Yes, they really need to win this series and the Brewers need to suck ass against the Pirates right now, but, for the Nats sake I hope they keep the games a little closer.Oh and by the way, what the hell happened to those buses that used to take you from RFK to Union Station??? I have blisters all over my feet from thinking it was ok to just walk the 25 + blocks home last night.
Zambrano is pitching tonight, I think I love him - I can't wait !
