I love You, Kosuke Fukudome!

TODAY IS OPENING DAY! Yes, amidst all of the hoopla and attention drawn towards March Madness, it is easy to forget about America's Favorite Pastime. As a die-hard, life-long, crappy year enduring, billy-goat hating, Steve Bartman forgiving, forever hopeful, Wrigley going, and loveable Chicago Cubs fan; I love opening DAY!

Kosuke Fukudome (pronounced Kas-kay FooKooDohmay) is my new Cubs hero! His first pitch as a cub was lined to center field for a double. His second at bat he walks. Third at bat he lines a base hit to center field. UNSTINKINBELIEVABLE. His 4th at bat. The Cubs have just gone down 0-3 when Kerry Wood gave up 3 runs in the top of the ninth. Bottom of the ninth, lead off base hit, 2nd batter walks. 2 men on (1st and 2nd) and Kosuke Fukudome goes up on the pitcher with a 3-0 count. Can you feel the excitement?.............

CRACK!!!!

HE FLIPPIN BELTS ONE OVER THE DEEP RIGHT CENTER WALL> Just over the basket above ivey at the cold and wet Wrigley Field. WELCOME TO THE CHICAGO CUBS KOSUKE FUKUDOME!

Will this be the year? I'd love to hear what you think.
