My boys

C'mon! You can't tell me these don't look like fun guys!

It's too bad I have to say goodbye to them...at least until next March!


Kerry Wood and Ryan Dempster having fun in the bullpen.

Dempster, ever the ringmaster, introducing the singing rookies in costume in Cincinnati.

I'm thinking Jacque Jones had a rough night following the Cubs' division clinching in Cincy.

We wouldn't have gotten this far without the LSU Connection (alias Ryan Theriot and Mike Fontenot).

And then there's speed demons like Felix Pie that keep things interesting!

Things to love...and not..about Great American Ballpark

-NEVER!!! NEVER!!!!! NEVER!!!!! NEVER!!!! NEVER!!!!! NEVER!!!! NEVER!!! EVER!


Cub fans know who's face is missing from this historic Reds interactive sign. Do you??

-The five-tool-player. Every general manager's dream.

-Nothing like the Ohio River as a backdrop, huh?

- The grounds crew prepares the field the old-fashioned way. Remind you of anywhere else?

Signs, signs, everywhere signs

Some of my favorite signs from the Cubs' final regular season games in Cincinnati...

- after the Cubs clinched the NL Central Division title!
- Yep, like I said.

- During the Cubs' final homestand, still just a few games ahead of Milwaukee.

- After the Cubs beat the Pirates, closing in on the division title.

- The first one is a loose Latin translation of "Go Cubs." The second? Well, you know!

- Yes, we brought Lou Pinella back to his old stomping grounds to celebrate good times.

- Love this one!
