Christmas List

Dear Santa,

Here's what I want for Christmas this year:

1. Jake Peavy in the starting rotation (without losing Marshall or Fontenot)
2. Adam Dunn's bat in the middle of the lineup
3. A healthy Alfonso Soriano all year. Hitting 40 out, stealing 40 and generally doing everything we thought he'd do when he was signed to that big contract.
4. Big Z's breakout season: 22 - 5
5. A healthy Rich Harden all year long: 19 - 3
6. Fireman of the year: Carlos Marmol: 55 saves
7. A scholarship to the Randy Hundley Fantasy Camp
8. Yankees: 86 - 76
9. Al Franken admitting defeat and going away. Forever. Because he's not good enough. And people don't like him.
10. Shermrants getting picked up as a daily column by the Chicago Tribune. Et al.
11. Mike Fontenot breakout season: .311 w/ 22 dingers
12. Ron Santo in the HOF
13. Ryan Theriot -- 200 hits and 30 stolen bases vs 3 caught stealing.
14. Happy, safe and healthy holiday season for my friends -- especially all you guys who travel with me on this winding road called "cub fan"...thank you all for your friendship and have a Merry Christmas!

Sherm

oh, yeah...and an owner who makes the Steinbrenners look like Scrooge.

Dear Santa
May the offseason fly by quicker that the hang time of a dropping fly ball in fight field.

May Sherm get everything on his list.

May everyone have a happy and healthy Christmas season and 2009.

May the Cubs win a World Series in my fathers life time, and under sun shine not in a 40 degree drizzle.

Merry Christmas!
