Last year, during the NLDS, that guy made me so angry. Is their another player that anyone despises as much as I despise Valverde???

I can't speak for him or anyone here, but I'm willing to bet real money that no one was thinking of anything even remotely political last night or this morning. We were thinking about a no-hitter and maybe a magic number. On to more important things. Wasn't it funny last night at the beginning of the game when Len and Bob thought the radar gun was badly calibrated?? Who knew!! They did admit their faux pas during today's pre-game chatter. That Pat Hughes comment quoted above is GREAT! I will be at Thursday's game. Keeping my fingers crossed that it's the clincher, but even if it isn't I'm thrilled to be going!

"Yes we can" has been used by him since February or so, and I'm willing to bet that it was intentional. I know I'm taking this too seriously, but really...to compare the Cubs's season to a presidential campaign? That's a little sad.
