Not as big as Lake Michigan, but definitely bigger than my house.
I figure this was Sears Tower-sized, this win.
Man, my nerves are all kinda wrecked, and I’m on vacation.
This being banged up and resulting “rough patch” has just not helped on the nerves front at all.
And the Cubs aren’t all better, but maaaaan that was a nice win last night.
Having Carlos Zambrano come back, the pop in the line-up from Kosuke and Geovany, Kerry Wood closing – that all seems more like this year’s club.
And Tony LaRussa trying to upset Edmonds thru the papers is vintage LaRussa.
The radio started working right after Pujols hit his homer, so I didn't hear much.
In the bottom of the 9th Pat Hughes said, “Time to fasten those seatbelts on the 4th of July!”
And then Wood striking out Glaus (I guess he didn’t like that strike zone), the pop-up, the Molina single, and the Ludwick grounder to DeRosa was all must-hear radio.
Totally against the rules to shoot off fireworks here - after all, we are in the woods.
But I said, "Hey Wyatt, go get the celebratory ammunition and the torch."
Lit a couple sparklers.
Happy 4th of July, everybody.
ps: Today about 3, I'm hoping to be within legit Chicago distance to actually hear Ted Lilly whoop up on Kyle Matthew Lohse and the GOOD GOD! A STUPID CHIPMUNK JUST CRAWLED OVER MY FOOT! St. Louis Cardinals.
I'm sitting at a table just outside the lodge where the internet just barely works. Probably got oh, 25 mosquito bites sitting here, but a chipmunk touching my flip flopped foot is just not cool.
psps: I like a little country music pretty much alot of the time, just not the kind you hear on country radio stations (unless it's really old). There's this guy I'd never heard of, Hayes Carll. He's pretty Texas (when he says "moon" it sounds more like "meeaaaan"), but "Trouble in Mind" is a fine bunch of audio digital files, and the perfect compliment to any grilling you may be doing this weekend.
