Oh Snap Show #008
Hey Justin.tv takes these down in aweek so hurry up and watch..lol!!
Oh Snap I'm a displaced Chicago Sports team fan!
Wow here I sit on the morning of Opening Day, thinking about how when my Dad was alive, how many times did I come home from high school dad on the couch watching the Cubs, cussing about not hitting the numbers. I remember also thinking why the Cubs? I was born in Illinois but I was raised in Texas. I could remember thinking The Astros would stomp them Dad.
I can't remember when it changed and I started cheering for the Cubs. I remember having internal battles cheering for the Rockets but wanting the Bulls to win. Hell I remember the " Super Bowl Shuffle"! I remember too thinking damn Warren Moon is going to be great!
What I can't remember is when i started cheering for only Chicago teams. It must be something breed into someone from Illinois because now I stick by my teams through it all. The good and the bad! Yeah I wish my Texas teams the best of luck but, there is really something about those Chicago teams that still to this day drive me wild!
Oh snap, to all my fantasy league mates yes I know I can't win with all Chicago players but I still think the one I pick or the best they have!
Go Cubs Go!

Oh Snap, Cubs Fans slow your roll!!
Hey It's Alan Wade again, an I'm A Chicago Cubs fan. I know that Cub fans are getting excited about their good season. But let me remind you of a few things you may not want to hear.
Remember we had the biggest division lead was in 1969, when the Cubs flushed away a five-game advantage and wound up eight games back of the Amazin' Mets in October. But there was a black cat involved in that. The Cubs were three games up on Houston and eight clear of St. Louis by the 2001 All-Star Game, only to fall behind both playoff-bound teams in the final 2 1/2 months. Sammy Sosa (64 home runs, 160 RBIs, .328 average) became the first player to reach 60 homers in three seasons, while Jon Lieber won 20 games. Again, it wasn't enough. So look don't get you hopes up yet, although I am winning one of my fantasy leagues, sorry John!
This is the years of "yes we can" so it could happen...but will it.
Oh and John this weekend Astros vs. Cubs we need to just bet on that one!
GO CUBBIES!!!
