Correction to your September 14th Wrigley homage. EAMUS CATULI means “little bear,” not “let’s go cubs.” Just thought you might be interested. NLC Champs!!!!!
Heard your obscure Latin reference to the Cubs a few times over the past few days here in Chicago in the midst of Cubs Fever and didn’t know what it was all about, until I read this site, which has as good a definition as I could find and much more:

Eamus: from the root “eo”
eo ire itum : to go, advance, proceed, travel, move along, progress.
Imperative 1st person plural form : go! [as in, commanding us to go]
catuli : baby bear.
A cub is a baby bear.
Therefore: Go Cubs!
