Sometimes I wish my wife were more into sports...

...but other times...

It’s a house divided for the Murphys, who live on Virginia Street just south of 21st Street. Russ, 27, a packer and tester at Ruud Lighting, has long been a Brewers fan, although he gets more excited about the Green Bay Packers.

Lisa, 29, operates a home-based business and is kind of a Jane-come-lately to baseball and the Cubs. It started three years ago, she said, when she and Russ went with friends to a Cubs-Brewers game.

So she wasn't even a baseball fan until her husband took her to a game, and that's when she decided to go Cubbies?

Not natural. Not natural at all.
