What the hell?
About the last thing I've been paying attention to is the standings.
I mean... there's so much weirdness going on...
Weren't the Cubs in 4th place about a minute ago?
Isn't everything all Cubby-Occuranced up?
All I've been hearing about is one injury after another for the Cubs, and the tightwad Cardinals went and loaded for bear with some big time trades...
And the Cubs moved into FIRST?
How?
It feels like Lou just won big at bingo.
God.
I bought some milk today.
You know how you check all the cartons out to see which one has the latest "sell by" date, and that "sell by" date is a couple weeks away?
It was "Sell by August 10th".
AUGUST TENTH?
In a couple weeks it's going to be August 10th?
What happened to the freaking Summer?
I haven't been to the beach once!
I haven't snuck out of the office for ANYTHING, let alone a Cub game.
I haven't put on sunblock... I HAVEN'T EVEN BEEN UNCOMFORTABLY HOT YET.
Ohh.
This is not good.
Okay, I'm making a promise right now.
I'm gonna slow down.
Introduce myself to my family.
Cub games will happen in the back yard with the radio on.
I will get out my bike, and actually make the pedals go around.
I will go to the park and paint a landscape.
Well, I hate landscapes, but... something tedious where I have to concentrate.
Lucky the Cubs scored those late inning runs, because that ump totally blew it on the Koyie Hill tag, and I'd feel vaguely guilty had the Cubs won by one...
Rich Harden can pitch when the sun is out (retired 16 Reds in a row!).
Alfonso might really be waking up.
Cubs sweep the Reds, winning 5-2 today along with 12 hits!
And they're in first place.
Mother of God, maybe there's a pennant race going on and I just didn't notice.
Go Cubs!
PS: Might be a good day to get in a poker game.
Buy a lotto ticket or something.
Enjoy this while it lasts.
