After losing 8 games in a row for the second time this season, it is high time for the Cubbies to fly the white flag at Wrigley Field again. In case you didn't know, whenever the Cubs win, a white flag with a big blue W flies high atop the ballpark. This lets all the L riders and rooftop denizens know that the home team was victorious. My mom actually sewed a replica flag for me which hangs proudly in my apartment above a bookshelf filled with baseball memorabilia. At 19 games back and 6 games under .500, it's now or never for the Cubbies to get back in the Wild Card race. It's probably not going to happen, but to paraphrase Yogi Berra, it ain't over 'til you're mathematically eliminated.
I also want to publically apologize to all the Cincinnati Reds fans I may have offended in a previous post.

After almost 100 years down there it's probably getting pretty ripe. =)
Your boys swept us in our own ballpark this week and I have to give them props. Sorry I disrespected the Big Red Machine.
