ESPN goes to the #1 Cubs fan to get the real scoop:

Babe Ruth, Little Babe Ruth, is about ready to hit a homerun right now.

Ron Santo when Mike Fontenot came up in the 10th. I've never heard that nickname anywhere else than here. Has Ronny been reading BCB?

If you thought you saw me scamper out of the way of Torii Hunter's two-run homer in the fourth inning on today's MLB Network telecast of the game, you were correct. The ball smashed onto our blanket, woke up Jessica who was napping, made a scuff on my scorecard (I wish I had a scanner here so I could show you!), clanged off the back fence, and into the hand of my friend Jim McArdle (plug coming: check out his new book "Living The Dream"), who promptly whipped it back on the field. (Wish we had a throwback ball with us.)

Sharp-eyed BCB reader Beaushek noticed this last night and posted this FanShot, but I wanted to take this space this morning to officially announce that SBN and Yahoo! Sports have partnered to put posts from SBN blogs on team pages at Yahoo.

You can see it this morning at Yahoo's Cubs page -- there is a box with BCB front-page posts prominently featured right below Yahoo's own news headlines.
