Yeah….who would have guessed they’d see ME talking about sports!? It’s been a lifetime endeavor to avoid all things sporting, because most of the teams near me have been the pits!
\nI know….the Cubbies lost last night, but we’re not out of the running yet. And to be a Cubs fan you have to take the “hope springs eternal” pledge. For years we have said “There’s always next year.” So the headline in the Trib a week ago was…..”Next year is here.” I have faith that the Cubs will go on to the World Series.
\nAnd that brings me to what I actually wanted to say. I assume that the World Series is played on the home fields of the competing teams. If that’s the case, and if the Red Sox beat the Yankees to get to the World Series, we (The CUBS) need to get the field crew busy creating a kick-ass design for our infield!
\nDid you see how they mowed the infield where the Red Sox play?? It’s a jazzed up version of a variable star….a pattern any quilter would recognize! I swear they must use GPS to guide the mowers! I’m really impressed, and feel that we need to prepare our own field so that we can stand the comparison.
\nQuilters, e-mail your suggestions to Ron Santo and Pat Huges at WGN, right away!
\nAnd while I have your attention, if you are a Sox or Yankees fan, plan to be on your best behavior when you come to Chicago. We want to win MORE than you do, but that doesn’t mean fighting during the game is okay.
