Chicago Sports

The Cubs are in the playoffs.  This first time since 2008.   I was extremely mad at the team when they were swept in both 2007 and 2008; mainly because the players looked like they just weren't trying. And the management acted like they didn't care. I was so upset that I vowed never to let myself get so emotionally involved with the Cubs ever again. Even though I am not quite as involved with this team as I was then, I am still excited.  But also nervous.  Regardless of how today's wildcard playoff game goes, I will be grateful to this team for making baseball exciting for me again.

The Blackhawks home opener is today with the Cup banner ceremony before. Luckily the banner ceremony is 1/2 hour before the Cubs game starts, so I can catch the ceremony and then watch the Cubs game.  Of course I will be flipping to the Hawks game as well.

Check this out.  Had seats on the glass for last Saturday's pre-season Hawks game. It was so awesome! Who cares that it was pre-season? It was still a once in a lifetime thing.   Hello Bicks!
