so funny. i'm originally from wisconsin... so i grew
up saying FIB. but, i live in chicago now, and
consider it my home. and had to give up the brewers
for the cubs back when selig made the move.
i didn't know michiganders also said FIB, but i have
resentment against them for having the 'stolen land'
of the U.P. it's really WI, you know?
glad SOMEONE's cursed team won!!!!
jocelyn, who hasn't forgiven the cards for game 7
against the brewers in '82.
