Cubs Fans-

You’re thrilled. You’ve been running around all day getting Old Style, Cubs napkins, baseball plates, red and blue streamers… maybe even some sort of pin the tail on the Piniella party game. You are ready. But tonight’s TV broadcast on TBS is sure to be annoying at times. So please, allow me to lower your expectations before they rise too high. We are in for 3-5 games of the following:

- 100 Year Drought Talk. Hey, did you guys know the Cubs haven’t won in 100 years? Maybe TBS will play a montage of things invented since 1908! I bet there’s a really old, cute Cubs fan you could put the
camera on now.

- Manny Being Manny. Face it. You’re about to hear that phrase a million times. Get a hair cut, hippie.

- Possible RedLine Series! Possible RedLine Series!

- One time, there was this guy named Steve Bartman…. Get ready to hear about him after every foul ball to the left field seats.

-  What is this baseball game that TBS keeps showing between these Frank TV ads I’ve tuned in to watch?

-  Zambrano threw a no hitter but boy is he emotional!

-  Joe Torre Vs. Lou Piniella: who has the harder to spell last name? 

- Celebrity Cubs Fans Vs. Celeb Dodger Fans. Special sidebar: do the Cubs fans also root for the Sox?

That’s what we have to look forward to. Me? I’m gonna watch on mute and listen to the radio, which I’m sure you’re about to hear was not invented in 1908, the last time the Cubs won the World Series.
