Cuban in CUBBIE blue?

August 1, 2008

I will be the first to light up a Cuban if Mr. Cuban buys the Cubs.

There is something about Mark Cuban.  It might be the picture of him drinking a beer in the bleachers at Wrigley.  Possibly his outlandish outbursts and antics in the NBA.  The fact he matches his NBA fines with charitable donations of equal amounts.
 
I would be proud of a bleacher billionaire brilliant entrepreneur like Cuban owning the Chicago Cubs.
 
Make it happen!
 
What are your thoughts?  I know I am one of few who believes Cuban would do wonders for Cubdome.

Hey Chicago whatdyasay?

THE CUBS ARE GONNA WIN TODAY!

Before I speak of the beloved Cubs..

Spain beat my lovely World Cup champion Italians yesterday.  BOO HOO.  It was also a very dull 120 minutes of soccer but with lots of eye candy.

I love italian men who sweat beads of gold.. sigh.

I must say Italy’s game and tactics were not the World Cup team game and tactics we all saw just two summers ago.  Im not sure whos they were.  They were not the positive, forward-looking soccer players who were robbed of the Cup in South Korea and the one that won in Germany.

Buffon was simplay amazing and will go down as one of the best goalkeepers in soccer.

Sigh..  love them so much besides the fact I am 1/2 Italian and think all of them are hot as hell.

On to the CUBBIES!

One of the best things about Chicago, in my opinion, is Wrigley Field baseball which entails the CUBS! 

The Cubs play the White Sox six times in the next ten days. 

Phew.. thats a lot of animosity to be running through Chicago.

Friday’s game was quite monumental seeing it was the first time they have met while both being in first place since yikes 2003 yikes.  If youre a Chicagoan or a baseball fan you know what happened to the Cubs in 2003.  I prefer to not recollect.

Anyways.. The Cubs won game 1 due to Ramirez’s second home in the 9th.  I have always loved Aramis.

Saturday’s game proved why the Cubs have the best record in the majors.  I listened to the game while out tanning and I wasnt on the edge of my chaise.. not once.  Cubs win 11 to 7.

Last nights game - One word:  SWEEP (get out the brooms!).  My brother and L were at the game, unfortunately I was not but I was quite pleased as I munched on unsalted pretzels and watched the Cubs sweet the Sox.

Today is June 23rd, 37 days since that loss to the Pirates. The Cubs are 14-0 during that time, with win # 14 coming at the hands of the White Sox. The Cubs swept the Sox for the second straight series, and have now won 9 out of the last 10 games against the Sox. The Cubs now have a 4.5 game lead over the Cardinals, the biggest lead the Cubs have had in the division so far this season.

FUCK YES!

P.S.  Here is an interesting article I found in regards to the White Sox vs. Cubs rivalry.  Enjoy!

HA.. no roundup quite yet but as previously stated its not going to be much of a roundup. 

My belly keeps getting butterflies because Im watching my babies (The Cubs) and if you havent heard they have the best record in baseball.

Ahem.. better record than the Cardinals & White Sox and all of the other teams in the MLB.

Earth Hour

Who is participating? I myself am. Im not very “green” if at all but I will be participating.

If the Chicago Cubs are participating - you better be damn skippy I am too! Ahem.. OPENING DAY is Monday!!!
“Cubs Win. You Win”. SuitePlay, a chicago home entertainment store, is offering any purchase (minus delivery and tax) made before April 15th FREE if the Cubs win the 2008 World Series. How sweet is that?

What are the odds? Ive been doing some internet research and some sites have the Cubs listed at 14 to 1 and some 9 to 2 either way its time to start sporting the CUBBIE BLUE!
