This Chicago Cubs blog is inspired by the Trib ads in the 80s called Tales from the Upper Deck, which featured one of my heroes and die-hard Cub fan, Mike Royko.
I spent a great deal of my time up in Aisle 424 of Wrigley Field with other Cubs season ticket holders from 1998 to 2010. We mainly talked about the Cubs or baseball, but we also delved into other topics on occasion. Though many of us have given up our Season Tickets now, we still get together to talk baseball and discuss the continuing failure of the Chicago Cubs to win a World Series in our lifetimes.
Tales from Aisle 424 usually resembles the occasionally insightful, mostly snarky, and nonsensical rants of me and my summer family (and it usually comes back around to the Cubs).
Look at the Cubs being all concerned about the environment and stuff. And by "concerned", I mean "narrowly focused on" and by "environment," I mean "bottom line."
FYI: We also got a regular christmas card (ivy covered with a cubs tree ornament) sent via SnailMail with the printed signatures of the Ricketts family inside.
The calendar is a staple, it's also not too expensive to produce. It'll be there.
Thanks, Uncle Dave and Annemarie. I'll take a World Series any way I can get it, but my wish for you is also that they meet the Yankees. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

I'm guessing we get this nice e-card instead of a calender this year.

I haven't gotten my Christmas card yet. I'll have to go check my mailbox. Now I'm all excited.
I just got my card in the mail today. So much for the environment.
The Cubs sent me a hat yesterday. Of course, it was a 2003 World Series Champions hat. (Only kidding. It was a Cubs hat.) -- Seat 106
Tim, Merry Christmas from Annemarie and me. My Christmas wish for you is that the Cubs meet the Yankees in the World Series.
