AH.... FIRST PLACE!! I DO appreciate the CREW of BREW keeping it nice and warm for us. Now.. we have to distance ourselves from them the other way. We're 8 over, 10 should be the next goal... and so on.
GO CUBS GO!!!!

I'm a Chicagoland (Skokie)native living in Baton Rouge, LA. Ryan Therriot & family lived next door to us for a while. In fact he frequently gave his little brother and my daughter Angel a ride to school in the AM in his pickup truck. They were in Middle School when he was at Broadmoor H.S. Of course we have followed his career with LSU and in the Minors and are thrilled to see him and the Cubs having such a great season. Thanks to WGN we get to see Ryan and the Cubs often. Please keep those games coming! We're counting on you.
