Today Only: Tweet @cubscasthosts and Win an iTunes Gift Card

Last night we had so much fun with all of you fellow Cubs fans on Twitter during the victory over the Brewers that tonight we’re making plans to jump into the conversation again. And this time, we brought some swag.

Anyone that directs a tweet our way by referencing @cubscasthosts, or retweets something from us, will be entered into a random drawing for one of two Cubscast Prize Packs, which each include an iTunes gift card.

It’s that simple.

Here’s what we suggest for optimal enjoyment of tweeting Cubs-style:

1. Sign up for Twitter. If you don’t have a Twitter account, sign up for one here. In three minutes or less you can be sending all kinds of updates about the Cubs.

2. Check out our 140 Characters from Home Plate page and keep it open during the game. We unveiled this at the start of the ’09 season so that we could have a way to constantly get updates without lifting a finger during games. This is the live feed from fellow fans that are using the #cubs hashtag. A hashtag is just a little code that helps make Twitter easy to search and categorize.

3. Watch the game LIVE. Not always easy if you have a DVR and/or hate commercials, but I assure you that you’ll love the live interaction with fellow Cubs fans when you watch the game live. What’s awesome is that some fans are at the game, some are watching on TV, and others aren’t able to tune in but are using Twitter to keep track. It’s a great mix of fans.

That’s all I can think of for now. We’ll do the drawing live and announce the winners on our Monday episode, which you can download for free via our website or Apple iTunes.

Enjoy the game, and good luck!
