felix says, enough is enough

well, that was a game that should have ended twice before it actually did.  after boosting up woody and his abilities, he lost concentration for a minute, and forgot who he was picthing to.  hasn't he heard of jason bay? didn't he know that the only hit the pirates had during dempster's run was by that same jason bay?  regardless, woody got his first taste of that feeling when the ball leaves the park with a 2 run lead in the bottom of the ninth.  guess it's better to get it over with, and have him realize his mistakes early in the season. 
derosa keeps swinging the bat well, deelee was cold as a bleacher seat on waveland ave in april, and aramis is still our main man.  too bad another newbie, Hart had to ruin it for the second time.  thank goodness felix "the apple" pie broke out and actually helped the team. that was encouraging to see.  you could see it from his body language - he really wants to help us win, and is willing to do whatever it takes.  i liked him last year, and continue to enjoy watching him grow as a player.  no wonder he's my wife's favorite cub. 
and just when i start talking about corey patterson, he goes and hits his 4rth homer of the season.  he seems to really enjoy playing for baker. 
well, i'm off to chicago this weekend for a visit with some old friends, a bachelor party, a dinner at ditkas, and i'll actually be able to watch the cubs game sun afternoon at a chicago bar!  very exciting.  it will def bring me back to my old days of living on the north side, biking down to wrigley, and enjoying the laid back midwestern ways.  gonna be great times for sure!
now let's keep this streak alive...do i hear 5 in a row?  bueller, bueller?
