Finally, we can close the book on the 2008 baseball season.
It started with such promise.
But somewhere up front Lou Piniella coined the term "Cubby Occurance", and it seemed to stick throughout the whole season.
Even after the division series where the Cubs were given the bum's rush, Cubby Occurances seemed to blossom.
The World Series had weather that caused the last game to be delayed by 50 hours.
The umpires continually blew calls throughout (I'm sure resulting in more use of the instant replay in the near future).
And, come on - the Phillies?
World Champions?
If that's not a Cubby Occurance I don't know what is.
Anyway, good riddance to 2008.
There are about 108 days til pitchers and catchers report - that always happens about Valentine's Day.
So just keep thinking: Roses are red, violets are blue, pitchers and catchers report, WOO HOOOO!
Or something.
