Ok,

So to start it off this is my first blog.  I figured since today was slow at work I would start up a profile and begin throwing my opinions and discussion topics out there that my friends and I always talk about when watching a game or having a beer.

If you don’t want to read it thats fine, but I’m figuring this can be a way for me to vent and people can’t tell me to my face that I’m wrong or that opinion is stupid. 

 

     First of all, the Chicago Cubs this year have been an amazing team.  With the many outstanding plays they have somehow managed to perform and the slighlty disappointing slumps they have hadthis year, this team never fails to entertain both the baseball and non-baseball type.  I have enjoyed every bit of this season and as it comes closer and closer to an end I am beginning to dread those cold months with no WGN baseball or espn MLB highlights of the week.  I know there are many out there that agree with me and to all of you, “good luck”.

AS A NOTE: When I say “END” yes I mean baseball.  I’m not referring to the Cubs possibilities of blowing it and not making the series, (lets not even go there)

     As I stated above I have enjoyed the many plays they have performed.  A few that really stick out in my mind are followed in the list below.

Juicy Jays Favorite Plays   

1.   March 1st:   Kosuke Fukudome is the new guy in town.  At the beginning of the season he was all everyone was talking about. In his moment, Bottom of the ninth with two men on and no outs Milwalkee sends him a pitch and Kosuke homers to right center to get the three run homer and tie the game. They did eventually lose 3-4 in the home opener but that homer made everyone feel good for that very moment.

2.   April 25th:   Reed Johson in center.  With the score tied at two versus the Nationals there is a huge pop up that soars out over the left and center fielders.  Johnson begins to race back and closing in on the warning track he throws it on the line and dives TOWARDS the warning track.  The ball falls directly into his glove and he slides into the wall.  Standing up with DeRosa looking in aww.  That catch kept the game tied.  They eventually lost that game as well.  3-5

3.   May 30th:   Down from the beginning of the game this play involved the entire team especially Mark DeRosa with a clutch two run homer.  They eventually came back from being down 1-9 to beat the Colorado Rockies in a Final score of 10-9.  I remember this game the most cause I was on my way home in the car and this all happened on the drive.  I had my windows down and when they did come back I was hooting and hollering out my windows and people were looking at me like I was a crazy person.  It was a great game.

 

Those are my Top 3 plays at the moment.  I will add more once I get time.

For now: Go Cubs Go !!!!

Later.
