Yes, another one of those rainy days but for fans of an American baseball team named the Chicago Cubs, it's the most beautiful day in over 108 years. Last night they finally won the top prize in baseball, the World Series Championship. Joan and I are not baseball fans but we are fans of the city of Chicago and know the feeling of that city when a sports team wins the biggest prize in their respective sport. We experienced it 6 times with the Chicago Bulls during the Michael Jordan era and once, in 1985, with the Chicago Bears.
Last night, for some strange reason, we both woke up very early to check the score of the last game being played for the baseball championship. It was 3:00 in the morning and the game was only half over so we continued to watch this computer for updates. In a 9 inning game, the Cubs were ahead by three points in the 8th inning and we were about to go to bed feeling they would win. However, the opposing team didn't feel like that and scored 3 points to tie the game. At the end of the 9 innings it was still tied so they continued playing. In the 10th inning the Cubs scored 2 more points but the other team could only score 1 and so the Cubs won, 8-7. Joan and I were happy for our two sons, dedicated Chicago Cubs fans from birth. I also thought of my mother who loved the Cubs and watched more than a few games with my then young at the time son. There was a humorous article posted on Facebook about the celebration taking place now in Heaven by all of the deceased Cubs fans. If it were true, I'm sure my mom would be one of them.
Tak, to jedna z tych deszczowe dni, ale dla fan贸w ameryka艅skiej dru偶yny baseballowej Chicago Cubs nazwie, to najpi臋kniejszy dzie艅 w ponad 108 lat. Ostatniej nocy w ko艅cu zdoby艂 g艂贸wn膮 nagrod臋 w baseball, World Series Championship. Joan i ja nie jeste艣my fanami baseball, ale jeste艣my fanami miasta Chicago i zna poczucie tego miasta, kiedy dru偶yna sportowa wygrywa najwi臋ksz膮 nagrod臋 w ich odpowiednim sportem. Do艣wiadczyli艣my mu 6 razy z Chicago Bulls w erze Michael Jordan, a raz, w 1985 roku, z Chicago Bears.
Ostatniej nocy, z jakiego艣 dziwnego powodu, oboje obudzi艂 si臋 bardzo wcze艣nie, aby sprawdzi膰 wynik ostatniego meczu odtwarzany na mistrzostwa baseballu. By艂a 3:00 rano, a gra by艂a tylko po艂owa ponad wi臋c nadal ogl膮da膰 ten komputer w poszukiwaniu aktualizacji. W grze 9 inning, Cubs wyprzedzili o trzy punkty w 8. rundzie i byli艣my zamiar i艣膰 do 艂贸偶ka uczucie oni wygra膰. Jednak dru偶yna przeciwna nie mia艂a ochoty tego i zdoby艂 3 punkty zwi膮za膰 gr臋. Na koniec 9 zmian by艂 nadal zwi膮zane tak, 偶e w dalszym ci膮gu gry. W 10. rundzie Cubs zdoby艂 2 punkty wi臋cej, ale z drugiej strony zesp贸艂 mo偶e zdoby膰 tylko 1 i tak Cubs wygra艂 8-7. Joan i ja byli艣my zadowoleni z naszych dw贸ch syn贸w, dedykowanych Chicago Cubs fan贸w od urodzenia. My艣la艂em tak偶e o mojej matce, kt贸ra lubi m艂ode i patrzy艂 d艂u偶ej ni偶 kilka gier z moim wtedy m艂ody syn czasowym. By艂o humorystyczny artyku艂 opublikowany na Facebooku o obchody odbywaj膮 si臋 teraz w Niebie przez wszystkich zmar艂ych Cubs fan贸w. Gdyby to by艂o prawd膮, jestem pewien, 偶e moja mama b臋dzie jednym z nich.
