While I’ve been a fan of the Chicago Cubs for a very long time, I’ve never actually seen<\/i> the Cubs. At least, not in person.

Of course, she suggested that the day after the Cubs had a three-game stand at RFK stadium, so the opportunity last season passed me by.<\/p>\n
I began thinking again today about the idea. Especially now that the Nationals are in talks with Sammy Sosa.<\/p>\n
Looking at the Nationals’ schedule, the Cubs will be in Washington from July 21st to the 23rd.<\/p>\n
