CUBS WIN!! CUBS WIN!! CUBS WIN!! [View all]

I know it's early in the season and I've had my heart broken more times than I can count, but I can't help but think that maybe, just maybe, this is one of those magical years that everything just falls into place for the Cubbies!

What a great game. Cubs were winning 4-2 until the top of the 9th when the Reds scored four runs, making it 6-4. The Cubs tied it up in the bottom half and won it 7-6 in the 10th! MY CUBBIES!

Fly the W, baby!
