The Easter Bunny comes early to Wrigley Field
This was truly an enjoyable afternoon of Cubs vs Dodgers action at Wrigley Field, although some of the stuff I saw didn't make sense in the real world.
Like when the Easter Bunny hopped up in the chair next to me.
"Watch this." he said in the 3rd, "Barney and Byrd are gonna double steal."
They did.
"Do you believe that?" says Easter Bunny.
"No." I say.
In the top of the 5th, Ryan Dempster did not look good at all, giving up homers to Blake and Kemp and now the Cubs' lead was only one. And I'm thinking probably Dempster is done.
But in the bottom half, there are two out and the bases are loaded and WTF?
Dempster comes up to bat?
That's when the Easter Bunny says, "Don't worry, man. Quade knows what he's doing."
Even the guy in front of me says, "No he doesn't."
And Demp strikes out.
Bunny says, "It's cool. You gotta wait til the 8th."
Which was good because then Demp gives up the tying home run, he's relieved by Sean Mashall, Andre Ethier doubles scoring 2 more and by the end of the 7th the Cubs are down 5-8.
"Okay ya stupid rabbit, it's the 8th." says me.
He goes, "You gotta believe."
Soriano singles, Johnson safely and beautifully bunts, Fukudome walks, Castro singles, Soriano and Reed score, Barney hits a grounder to short and Fukudome scores, Ramirez singles, and freaking Jeff Baker hits a double that drives in Barney and Ramirez and the Cubs win 10-8.
So do I believe in the Easter Bunny?
Well I do now.
The last thing he said as he was hopping away: "If you're reeeaaaaaallllly lucky, I'll hang around til October."
