I think it's time for me to stop investing myself emotionally with this team. During the first game against LA, I KNEW they were going to get swept. I think about those dead people I see every once in a while at work in their Cubs jackets and hats, etc... lying in their caskets, or their ashes are placed in those weird Cubs URNS. So I'm going to watch every season from now on with low expectations. Beats what happened last week. I’ve finally recovered enough to post something about the Cubs.

He sure has a lot of attitude for someone who pitches like crap. Bye bye Stevie! Sweet Billy Williams was funny yesterday at the rally. I do love him in a "Harry" sort of way. He mentioned "Bob" Lilly and added a few syllables to Soriano's name. Heh. Good riddance to bad Trachsel. He sure has a lot of attitude for someone who pitches like crap. Bye bye Stevie!
