Quote"The fans have been unbelievable," DeRosa said. "And as good as they've been, that's how hard they rode us early on, and rightfully so. We deserved it at that time. I really get a kick out of the signs like 'It's Gonna Happen.'

"Hopefully we buy into that. I know a lot of guys think something special is going on right now, and we're just trying to ride it out."

I saw a guy with that sign on TV. Looked like a professional sign, nice graphics on an acrylic board...probably someone in Marketing came up with that - look for T-shirts to show up any minute now.
The guys who are involved with that slogan started it for Chicago's Olympic bid. The city was close to buying into it but eventully decided against. Olympic logo legal issues. They are now selling it with a Cub tie in.

Easy enough to figure out.

Some dude in La Grange, though I still don't know who the guy is.

A quick bout of very casual Googling suggests he's either Bill Murray's brother or the dude who attacked Randy Myers in 1995.

This Trib story has a John Murray of McKinsey & Co as the Chicago Olympic committee's chief of bid operations.

Or is it the John Murray who wanted to fight Randy Myers after he gave up an 8th inning home run?

Pshaw.

I was totally in a full minute earlier.

Unless, of course, he recognized that name off the top of his head, which I'm suspecting he did.

In which case... Bully for TJ, indeed.

Have any Cubs' fans noticed yet that "It's Gonna Happen" is written in the font the Red Sox use on their uniform fronts (both home and road?)

If "it" is I'm going to get pissed and try to beat that guy to death with his Busch Stadium-esque professionally painted sign, then "it" is indeed going to happen.

Nope.

I think they zoomed in on one of these shirts Fan Cam-style yesterday.

It looked like it was written in Red Sox lettering.

WTF?

Nobody.

It was definitely Red Sox font, Red Sox colors, the schmo prob got a good deal on a bunch of left-over placards from '04.

He wore the matching "It's Gonna Happen" hat and tshirt and managed to get the hat on Woo-Woo, presumably gratis.
