I know that I'm taking a big risk here today on RallyPoint - with all the military subjects, national politics, world events, and tragic news around the country, let's lighten it up for a little bit! No "Haters" today! Show a little kindness and think about something pleasant (Hot Dog, Ball Park, Cracker Jacks, 7th Inning Stretch....)

How many RP Members have had great memories at Wrigley Field Home of the Chicago Cubs?

Please, Cubs, Don’t Win!

What did Jesus say to the Cubs before he died?

Don't do anything until I get back.

I'm not a Cubs fan but I have been to 2 Cubs games. The fist won was at Jack Murphy Stadium and the second one was at Petco Park. So they were Padres games, but I HATE the Padres with a passion so I always made it a point to root for the opposite team. I only even went to the games because the first won was a command event and the second one my ship had tickets on sale cheap and my girlfriend wanted to see a baseball game.
For the game at Petco I actually bought a Sammy Sosa jersey. That's how much I hate the Padres!

COL Mikel J. Burroughs - I'm a huge Cubs fan...and thereby masochistic as well! Lived on the North Shore when I was a kid and loved heading to Wrigley to watch Sandberg, Durham, Sutcliffe, Jody Davis, etc.

I am a life long Cubs fan, however, have never been to a game at Wrigley, that is one of the things I hope to get done in the very near future. I have been to many AAA Iowa Cubs games since I am only about 45 minutes from Des Moines. I always enjoyed watching Ryne Sandberg play, and tried to approach the game the way he always did. I was fortunate enough to watch him when he managed the I-Cubs.

I have been a fan for years, thanks to my aunt, who is from Peoria. So time to crack some fun...

Game 7 of the World Series, bottom of the 9th, full count, bases loaded, score is 3-0. Cubs last chance, one last pitch. Announcer says "Heres the wind up, heres the pitch, swing... **CRACK** its a deep hit to left field, the ball is going, going... Oh Hello Jesus, did the rapture just happen?"

COL Mikel J. Burroughs, what a fun discussion, Sir! I am actually not a Cubs fan, but that's okay, because I like and dislike all baseball teams equally!
