Friday

Cubs win! Cubs win! Cubs win!

This would have been a perfect day in Wrigleyville. A walk-off homer in the bottom of the ninth to beat the Sox. I'm sure that the hard core are still at the Cubbie Bear.

For the pure baseball fan out there, I heard a comparison today that resonated for me. A radio announcer on ESPN this morning offered that Cincinnati's Adam Dunn is the modern day Dave Kingman. Strikeouts and home runs. Not much of a glove. But the home runs are(were) of legend. In the late 70's when Kingman was with the Cubs, his at-bats were must see events. Those were the good old days.

More tomorrow.
