I'm a Chicago Cubs fan because I know:
*Bartman has nothing to do with the Simpsons
*When the ivy on the outfield wall was first planted (1937)
*The Curse of the Billy Goat
*What to do with an opponent's home run ball in the bleachers (Throw it back!)
*The outcome of the first night game played at Wrigley Field (It was rained out.)
*What the Eamus Catuli sign means (Latin, roughly: Go Cubs)
*The four Retired Cubs Players Numbers: 10 (Santo), 14 (Banks), 23 (Sandberg) and 26 (Williams).
*The meaning of Tinker to Evers to Chance (and Dunston to Sandberg to Grace).
*A Frosty Malt (or a lemon ice) tastes really good at a summer game.
*No one leads the seventh-inning stretch quite like Harry Caray did.
*The average number of days per year that it is great to be a Cubs fan (365).
*I bleed Cubby blue!
And finally: I know the Cubs are going to WIN THE WORLD SERIES!
Edited to add... ten innings ... Brewers, 4; Cubs, 3. Hey, it can't get worse then the W flag not flying.
And I hope to go to a Brewers' game with my best friends this summer. They lived in Wisconsin for 3 years but never got to attend a game at the new arena. Their former neighbors went and said it is a really nice arena. I hope we'll go this summer.
