Cubs Win! Nomar Goes to Wrigley

Okay, this post was supposed to be about how great Barack Obama was at the Democratic Convention and how this Windy City fav even made it to the #2 spot on the Apple.com's Hot Searches list.

But, wait, BIGGER news! Nomar Garciaparra has been traded to the Cubs! He's leaving Boston, or rather left Boston--he'll be paying SS in tonight's game, which may be pitcher Greg Maddux's 300th win. Big news!

Nomar joined the Red Sox back when I was in Boston, 1997. Too bad we won't have a chance to seem at Wrigley anytime soon--too bad we didn't get a chance to see him at Fenway! (But maybe we can still see my favorite Red Sox-er, Johnny Damon.)

Well, now the Cubs are starting to look like the Yankees in terms of big names. Here's to the NL wild card race! Long live the Cubbies!
