cubs update

And now on to pressing matters of life and death...The Cubs are looking slightly less solid than they did a month or so ago, no longer possessing the best record in the league (thanks to the Angels, who just upgraded by adding a power bat no less) and leading the pesky Brewers by only two games. But at least they're wasting the Brew Crew 6-0 in the seventh as I type and they are still tops record-wise in the NL anyway.

Speaking of, it's long overdue for someone to remind the Brewers that small-market teams are supposed to pull a Baltimore and fade quickly after spring is over. But I must admit, as much as I like the Cubs, it's hard to root against Milwaukee. Who doesn't like to see unknown teams come from nowhere and shake up the big clubs? (They did go out and grab Sabathia, though, so they're not exactly a quiet "other" team.) A Brewers-Rays series would be cool. But a Cubs-Rays series would be a dream, as not only would that fulfill the "perfect Series" requirements for both a small-market team and a team named the Cubs being involved, but I could easily hook up boarding arrangements near both cities to get in on the once-in-a-lifetime action.

Anyway, I suppose it's a good thing I've been getting in a little more overtime recently, because those Wrigley World Series tix aren't gonna come cheap!
