GO CUBS!

Colts lost on a field goal from 48 yds. Darn it!!

Casey from 48 yards is money.

Like Tiger with a 4 foot putt to win.

Like a Republican Presidential candidate trying to carry Utah.

Like me trying trying to take care of a Bass Ale.

It's just pretty much a sure thing.

Thanks for getting it started, Severa!

GO CUBS!

The last of the NFL early game updates:

Carolina 23, Indianapolis 20 (F-OT)
Kansas City 40, Green Bay 34 (F-OT)

Hey *L* was wondering where you were...Not a problem, man. Glad I could help. :)

PING

Hey *L* was wondering where you were...

I was at the fall meeting of the Swedish Council of St. Louis. The president is also originally from near the north side of Chicago, and so he assured me that the meeting would be over before the game started--no matter what! :-)

Katie bar the door, the Cubs are going to the World Series!

[steveegg]

You got your wish. Unfortunately for you guys south of the Gurnee/Rockford toll booth line, the Bears had their Super Bowl last week.

Kansas City 40, Green Bay 34 (F-OT)

That was something else. A KC FG to tie it and send it into overtime.

KC then fails to get a OT FG after it is tipped.

So, GB takes over and fumbles!!

KC's next play results in a TD.

Braves lost!!

Actually the worst thing that could happen to the Bears this year would be a 7-9 or 8-8 season, cause then McCaskey would keep our joke of a coaching staff.

[Allegra]

Tennessee 38, Houston 17 (F)

Yeah, I watched that. I need Alka-Seltzer.

Are we still allowed to use the "expansion team" excuse in our second year?

I hate Bud Adams.

[WhiteKnuckles]

I'm here. I'm going to try to keep my mouth shut as much as possible. Don't want to Jinx them or anything.

GO CUBS!

"'TENSHUN! . . . 'Tenshun, please. . . . Have your pencils . . . and scorecards ready . . . and we'll give you . . . the kee-rect lineups . . . for today's game. . . ."

[Prince Charles]

Hehehe... a Pat piper bump!

[steveegg]

Please; we need that staff to give us 2 wins a year up here (now that the Lions got smart and hired a good coach, we don't have a third guaranteed win).

2 up, 2 down in the Cub 1st.

[Severa]

Sosa's up with two men out.

[steveegg]

Why don't you guys demand your team history back like the cry-babies in Cleveland did?

[steveegg]

The Cubs fail to score in the 1st for the first time in the series. No runs, no hits, nobody left. At the end of 1/2, it's the Cubs 0, the Marlins coming up.
