The Phrase, Part II

Apparently, I was not the only person with this concept on my mind today.  On my way home from work, I was listening to The Score, WSCR 670AM and Terry Boers and Dan Bernstein were discussing this very same issue. 

It’s Time to Pull Out This Phrase

There is a phrase that I used quite a bit last year and I’m about to use it for the first time of the season.  This is a phrase that Cubs fans don’t get to use often because it seems we rarely have a team worthy of it.  I haven’t heard many baseball fans use [...]

No Cubs games for me this year.
