As one of the wildest years in memory winds down on the North Side, with the Cubs finishing out their home schedule with the slimmest of leads over Milwaukee, here’s our ode to the 2007 season:
BELIEVE IT …
Alfonso takes a moonwalk/
Derrek Lee gets plunked/
Bonds goes street on Lilly/
Lou kicks an ump
Demp to start/
Demp to close/
Lou’s “big surprise”
Jacque to Florida/
Jacque to stay/
Trax returns/
Lou turns gray
Marmol-aid/
Z gets paid/
Ohman’s barking shoulder/
Dirt-kicking/
Cardinal-licking/
Yosh is one year older
Cliff’s dad visits Wrigley/
Tribsters sing a swan song/
Lou erupts in postgame: /
“What the hell do you think is wrong?”
DeRo here/
DeRo there/
DeRo’s playing everywhere/
Barrett’s punched/
Barrett’s bounced/
Big Z pointing in the air
Ethier-ed at Wrigley/
Ethier-ed in L.A./
Lou’s stubble/
Demp’s in trouble/
A-Ram saves the day
Scott or Stevie?/
Ire or Eyre?/
Mind-reading ump boots Lilly/
Theriot to Fontenot
“I am just an employee”
Uecker booing/
Froemming’s stewing/
Chaos in the stands/
Goofball charges Howry/
Big Z rips the fans
“Go ask the pitching coach”/
“I came here to win”/
Fontenot’s fly ball dies in vines/
“Where’s that Wrigley wind?”
Jason faces Sammy
D-Lee swings at Young/
Freakish bounce in Houston/
Saved by 3-6-1
May woes/
June glows/
Grab another beer/
Murton hits the foul pole/
Could it be “the” year?
