[...ready...plant cheek firmly in tonuge...GO!]

...and while we`re on the subject, how come nobody has brought up
Harry Caray??? 

Talk about cheerleaders, this guy actually takes the stadium
mike and serenades the Wrigley Field crowd with 
"Take Me Out To The Ballgame" during the seventh-inning stretch. 
Not to mention his almost shameless promotion of a certain beer 
("I`m a Cubs fan and I`m a &ud Man...").

Doesn`t he know that that beer is produced by the owners of the
arch-rival Cardinals? 

Doesn`t he realize that every can of that beer sold is another nickel in
Vince Coleman's agent's pocket. 

Doesn`t he understand that a Cardinal team featuring Vince Coleman 
may stand between his Beloved Cubs and The Holy Grail
for the next ten years!

Wake up, Cubs fans: do you see Cardinal announcers shamelessly 
hawking issues of the Chicago Tribune everytime a Cardinal
hits a home run ("Hey Jack Clark, this Tribune`s for you")???

Heck, before you know it, the Cubs will be playing their post-season
home games in Busch Stadium. Then Harry might feel back at home :-).
