]]> <![CDATA[Cubs-Cardinals: First Place In May Is On The Line!]]> @Billy Clyde Puckett: But what about that time a few years ago when Kerry Robinson hit that homerun that won the game and then Buzz Bissinger wrote that book that totally talked about that series and...oh. Sorry. I guess we are so over him now.

]]> <![CDATA[Cubs-Cardinals: First Place In May Is On The Line!]]> @metalmaniac: one would think. Many are even Cubs fans. I don't get it. *shrugs*

Lady Andrea

]]> <![CDATA[Cubs-Cardinals: First Place In May Is On The Line!]]> Is that a "cardinal" or a raven? Seems to be quite proficient at stabbing.

]]> <![CDATA[Cubs-Cardinals: First Place In May Is On The Line!]]> @Lady Andrea: I would think your professors would realize that Cards/Cubs trumps everything else in life.

]]> <![CDATA[Cubs-Cardinals: First Place In May Is On The Line!]]> @Billy Clyde Puckett: Chip was, is, and will most likely always be an idiot. I think it is a great rivalry. Of course, I take this rivalry personally.

]]> <![CDATA[Cubs-Cardinals: First Place In May Is On The Line!]]> @Billy Clyde Puckett: don't quote Buzz Bissinger to me, mister!

Carson

]]> <![CDATA[Cubs-Cardinals: First Place In May Is On The Line!]]> @J-No: About what? It's not even the greatest rivalry in all of baseball.

It's big for fans of the two teams. But they've rarely battled down the stretch for a pennant or division title. They've never played a postseason game against each other. And if you asked for a list of truly memorable games in the rivalry, there's the Ryno game in 1984 and....the Ryno game in 1984.

I mean, I'm going to be watching. It's big, a first-place battle over a weekend this early in the season? Don't get me wrong.

But Chip was an idiot.

]]> <![CDATA[Cubs-Cardinals: First Place In May Is On The Line!]]> @Lady Andrea: But a great fan. Seriously, enjoy the games (but not too much).

@Billy Clyde Puckett: I believe you are mistaken, sir.

(Cubs are 48-39 against the Redbirds since 2003, BTW)

]]> <![CDATA[Cubs-Cardinals: First Place In May Is On The Line!]]> Damn qwerty.

Carson

]]> <![CDATA[Cubs-Cardinals: First Place In May Is On The Line!]]> Is that bat corked?

And Will, refresh my memory - what was the season series last your between the Cubs and Cardinals?

Carson

]]> <![CDATA[Cubs-Cardinals: First Place In May Is On The Line!]]> @Lady Andrea: Dang my slow refresh rate....

Several years ago, when we were subjected to the heinous Chip Caray as the Cubs' TV announcer, he said, at the start of a Cubs/Cardinals telecast, "It's the Cubs and the Cardinals. The greatest rivalry in all of sports."

<----And that's what I said.

Crookednose

]]> <![CDATA[Cubs-Cardinals: First Place In May Is On The Line!]]> The cork in the bear's bat is a nice touch, Will.

BigTenObsession

]]> <![CDATA[Cubs-Cardinals: First Place In May Is On The Line!]]> @J-No: it would try. Bears are a threat! Colbert told me!

I've scheduled my paper writing and finals studying around these 3 games this weekend b/c I am a bad, bad law student.

Lady Andrea

]]> <![CDATA[Cubs-Cardinals: First Place In May Is On The Line!]]> That drawing is absurd. Why would a bird wear shoes?

Whitey Fisk

]]> <![CDATA[Cubs-Cardinals: First Place In May Is On The Line!]]> Everyone knows a bird wouldn't beat up a bear.

I believe you have incorrectly inserted a negative term into the Cubs slogan.
