Is it almost "Someday" yet?

This morning I heard on the radio that after the Cubs played their make-up game in Milwaukee, some of the players wouldn't mind tearing down Wrigley Field and having a new stadium built. Oh, Zambrano, we love you, you made our hearts fill with joy and tears run down our cheeks...but replace Wrigley???

One of the things I've always loved, even when I was rebelling and pretending to be a Sox fan, was Wrigley Field. I remember when I was a little girl and my Mom took my brother and me to my first game. Thank you, Mommy, for letting me share the experience again with you this past Mother's Day..some 20+ years later! Oh Damon Berryhill , you started this love affair I have with baseball, the Cubs, and Wrigley. To tear it down would be, well, blasphemous. It would mark the end of the the world as we know it. Please please please....keep our ivy covered walls...the ambiance...the sense of being among family that we ALL feel every time we walk through those gates.

I leave you now, fellow Cubs fans, with lovely words from the famous Eddie Vedder:

Yeah, don’t let them say that it’s just a game.
Well, I’ve seen other teams and it is never the same.
When you go to Chicago, you’re blessed and you’re healed, The first time you walk into Wrigley Field.

Heroes with pinstripes and heroes in blue, Give us the chance to feel like heroes do.
Whether we’ll win and if we should lose, we know Someday we’ll go all the way.
Yeah, someday we’ll go all the way.

We are one with the Cubs, with the Cubs we’re in love.
Hold our heads tall as the underdogs.
We are not fairweather, but farweather fans.
Like brothers in arms, in the suites and the stands.
There’s magic in the Ivy and the old score board.
The same one I stared at as a kid keeping score.
In a world full of greed, we could never want more.
Someday we’ll go all the way.
Yeah, someday we’ll go all the way.

Here’s to the men and the legends we’ve known.
Giving us faith and giving us hope.
United we stand and united we’ll fall
Down to our knees the day we win it all.
Yeah Ernie Banks said, “oh, let’s play two”.
I think he meant two hundred years.
Playing at Wrigley, our diamond, our jewel.
The home of our joy and our fears.
Keeping traditions, and wishes anew,
The place where our grandfathers’ fathers they grew.
The spiritual feeling if I ever knew.
And when the day comes for that last winning run, and I’m crying and covered with beer.
I look to the sky and know I was right today.
Someday we’ll go all the way.
Yeah, someday we’ll go all the way.
