Monday, November 24, 2008 at 11:30PM FIVE MINUTES WITH JAMES FINN GARNER
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MY BRUSH WITH A CUB: Sorry, I got nothing.
WHO WERE YOU?: The Tigers’ Willie Horton, who held his bat straight up in the air with his big butt sticking out.
WORKING ON: A stage musical about Viagra.
DAY JOB: Basement dweller
LITERARY FIGURE I’D HIRE TO MANAGE THE CUBS: Captain Ahab. Win or lose, they’re still doomed, right?
THE CUB I’D MOST WANT TO LIVE INDEFINITELY IN MY BASEMENT: Ryan Dempster—I’m a sucker for magic tricks.
MOST CHERISHED CUBS MEMORY: Meeting Bill Veeck in the bleachers, with his shirt off and a cigarette in his leg’s ashtray.
BEST PIECE OF CUBS MEMORABILIA: A yellow “No Lights In Wrigley Field” T-shirt.
THE CUBS WILL WIN IT ALL IN 2009 BECAUSE: This might be their century.
THE CUBS WON’T WIN IT ALL IN 2009 BECAUSE: It requires hitting the ball in October, something we haven’t seen them do in many years.

Victory won't come to me unless I go to it.
We must accept finite disappointment, but we must never lose infinite hope.
It's great to be great , but it's greater to be human.
