From the blog of Cubs player Mark DeRosa:

“I’m going to set a scene for you: Kerry Wood on the mound, Game 7 of the World Series in Wrigley Field. Ground ball to second, DeRosa throws it to D-Lee, game over, Cubs are World Series champs. What happens?”

A reply by Cubs teammate Ryan Dempster:

“Pandemonium. I’d say the top of the Budweiser (roof) blows off. People storm the field. Huge chunks of ivy are ripped off the walls. Police cars are turned over on Addison, on Waveland, on Sheffield, and you can’t walk within a 45-block radius of Wrigley Field because people will be drinking there for seven to 10 days. What a great feeling.”

Pittsburgh Pirates fan-for-life Mark Cuban or a different tycoon will become the next owner of the much-loved Chicago Cubs.

He will inherit a baseball fan base like no other.

(Well, maybe fans like Boston’s or the Bronx’s, but not a whole lot like Pittsburgh’s.)

Passionate. Insanely so. There for their team, rain or shine.

He also will inherit cuddly “Cubbie” fans, some of whom in the last five days alone have:

Dumped debris onto the outfield at Wrigley Field, unhappy that an umpire had called a Cub out and had thrown out Lou Piniella.

Gone to court accused of kicking a White Sox fan in the face at a child’s birthday party, costing this guy his right eye.

Been arrested in Milwaukee for allegedly beating up a Brewers fan and for punching a woman who tried to break up the fight.

Yes, the best and worst of Cubs Nation are on display for all speculative buyers to see at the little ballpark with the big FOR SALE sign out front.

Good, bad and ugly.

The thrill ride that is Wrigley World was at a high point for at least part of last weekend.

There was a cute exchange between a Bleacher Bum and ex-Cubs nice guy Luis Gonzalez. The two have maintained a tradition each year of flipping each other a favorite baseball glove. Strictly out of mutual respect and love.

And then there was that sweet scene on the diamond with 8-year-old Dominic DiAngi, a boy from the suburb of Frankfort who had been struck by a ball off Ted Lilly’s bat.

Fully recovered from a coma and a six-day hospital stay, Dominic was surprised for his 8th birthday with a return trip to Wrigley. He clearly had his strength back when he tossed out the ceremonial first pitch. In fact, he nearly threw it over Lilly’s head.

A charming Cubbie story if ever there was one.

Chicago’s media had a field day with it, splashing Dominic all over the daily papers and TV.

Police charged three other men after Tuesday’s game in Milwaukee. A 24-year-old Brewers fan reportedly provoked them by throwing a beer. (What else would you expect a Brewers fan to throw?)

Then the trio of Cubs fans – alleged Cubs fans? – beat up the brew-hurler, police say, knocking out a tooth. A sister of one of the guys tried to intervene, according to witnesses, and she was allegedly punched as well.

And this came after the Cubs had won a big game.

And the team’s in first place.

Somebody had better sell the team and park as quickly as possible while everyone is still feeling so good.
