Congratulations to Bryce Harper getting Rookie of the Year.
I understand there's some dissention in the ranks about the validity of this vote. So it goes.
All I know is that unlike any time in the past, I'm thinking more and more about the Cub kids down in the minors.
Unlike any time in the past, it's kind of exciting.
(Well actually, I hardly paid any attention in the past. Probably I'm not the best judge.)

Alright... maybe there aren't actually 47 eighteen year old super upside prospects down there, but look at the Cubs top ten list from Baseball Prospectus.
Albert Almora and Jorge Soler and Javier Baez and Dan Vogelbach...those names are kind of awesome.
So... we'll just have to wait a bit for that particular excitement to occur.
In the meantime, you know, just trying to make time interesting.
Here's something fun you can try.
We have 2 dogs, and we've trained them like so: you dogs go outside, you pee, you come in and get a treat.
Well, one of them, Zoey, doesn't always pee.
But she still expects the treat and I'm too much of a softie to resist her big wanting eyes.
So she gets a biscuit, but it always bugs me.
The other day I thought I'd get even.
She sleeps like a log.

She sleeps like a log.
So I waited til she was fast asleep and took her little doggie paw and put it in a bowl of warm water.
HA!
I got SO even!
HA!
I got SO even!
The embarrassment she felt when she woke up in her own little little doggie puddle!

Just kidding.
I'd never do that.
It's probably impossible anyway.

Sometimes figuring out how to make time interesting only happens in my head.

What else?
Go see "Skyfall".
I'm not giving away any plotline when I say Javier Bardem!

And last night I was flipping to MNF when I saw that "The Natural" was on.
Hmm...the horrible Chiefs or...baseball.
Near the end, when Hobb's is in the hospital and Glenn Close comes to visit him?
And he's Robert Redford so he's not really that good an actor, but still, he's admitting how life didn't go so well and he's sitting on the 20 grand that the Evil Owner gave him to not play, and Good and Evil are having a fight in his head and suddenly Good wins and he says, "God I love baseball."
Come ON, man.
