Cubs Even Up the Series With the Dodgers

DateWednesday, May 28, 2008 at 23:17 Authorskinnydipinacid | Comment6 Comments

No, not the immediate series.   That was a sweep sillies!  Although it had me biting any and all trace of fingernails clean off my digits.  No,   I'm talking about the lifetime series record and the Cubs knotting the records up at 1,010 - 1,010 in head-to-head play.   Tip of the hat to you Dodgers,  you gave us one hell of a series.  If I was an Arizona Diamondbacks fan (and trust me...  I'm not) I'd keep a sharp eye on you in that 2nd place spot.

The Dodgers are stinking up the field. They are barely playing .500 ball. It makes me ashamed to admit I'm from L.A.

Torre will bring 'em around Zoy...
you've got a young team with a great coach.

When this is your DL... it's hard to win at all...
... much less keep a strong hold on 2nd place:

Yeah, I know, but it's a weak division. I was hoping the Dodgers would have gotten off to a better start. And it's early too--we're just coming into June.

By the way, how do the Cubs plan on addressing the Curse? Are they going to hold a 'Bring Your Goat' day?

(...and do the Cubs still play day games?)

if i was a food vendor in Chicago, i'd push my little food cart over to Wrigley and sell goat burgers. i bet that'd be a big hit!

and yes... alot of my friends called me from Wrigley yesterday as they witnessed 'the greatest comeback in Cubs history'... and i couldn't go because i just HAD to work. i was stuck listening to the radio all day wondering which drunken asshole was going to call me next.
