Sign the Petition!

Holy Cow! Can't Miss Press is a proud sponsor of The Common Fan Sings, a grassroots effort launched by Dave Cihla (co-creator of the Shawon-O-Meter) to let a regular Cubs fan sing "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" during the 7th inning stretch at Wrigley Field. Sign the petition to let Dave and other deserving Cubs fans carry on the tradition started by Harry Caray. Then view the video of Dave and some of his supporters singing "Happy Birthday" to Shawon at the Shawon-O-MeetUp at Murphy's Bleachers.

Five Minutes With Christine Sneed

DateSunday, December 7, 2008 at 11:18PM

Christine Sneed

My brush with the Cubs:

Sixth grade, with my dad, Terry Webb, who certainly fulfilled his paternal duty by taking me to Wrigley instead of some much more appreciative and Cubs-rabid friend on that day long ago.

 

Who were you:

Ron Cey, because I thought penguins were cute and always felt bad that he was best known for his pop-ups during crucial moments in the game.

 

Working on:

Lots of stories, a novel, my abs and triceps.

 

Day jobs:

Corrupting young, Facebook-addled minds at two Chicago universities.

 

Literary figure I'd hire to manage the Cubs:

Studs Terkel (RIP) – he would have been great, no?

 

The Cub I'd most want to live indefinitely in my basement:

Ryne Sandberg – he’s still cute (I think?) and could probably open the pickle jars when I couldn’t get past that damn vacuum seal.

 

Most cherished Cubs memories:

Uh….

 

Best piece of Cubs memorabilia:

Double uh…

 

The Cubs will win it all in 2009 because:

Lou Pinella has a fine team of talented players and is a smart, level-headed guy (at least he has been when I’ve heard him on AM 1000 during interviews – which, believe it or not, I’ve heard because my boyfriend makes me listen to sports radio in the car sometimes).

 

The Cubs won't win it all in 2009 because:

Goat sacrifices in public places are still illegal.
