- Reed Johnson's spectacular catch, robbing Prince Fielder of a game-tying grand slam. Jak's words: "I want to touch Reed's johnson." I was watching at home, alone, YELLING.
- Aramis Ramirez hitting a game-winning home run in the eleventh inning vs. the Cardinals
- Angel Guzman tallying his first win in the big leagues--good man!
- Teddy Rose (that's Ted Lilly, for future reference) taking a no-no into the seventh--during the home opener, no less!
- Alfonso Soriano's go-ahead two-run shot vs. the Cardinals. He's got five homers and nine RBIs already this season, and, most tellingly, he's already taken eight walks.
- Kosuke Fukudome, after a rough second half last year (really, that's putting it mildly) is hitting the shit out of the ball this year. He's slugging .750 and hitting .375 so far in 2009, and is displaying the corkscrew swing much, much less frequently. Thank God.
Cubs posts forthcoming:
*Extravaganza 2009 (look for this in late June/early July, after our bender at Comerica vs. Tigers)
*Why Jak's love for the Cubs rubbing off onto me is sort of like abuse
*Why baseball? Why now?
*Single-A ball: West Michigan vs Peoria
I've posted this video before, but it's so damn funny. If you're a Cubs fan, it's bloody hilarious.
