Cubs On A Roll!!!!!!!!!!! (sigh)

Remember: things could always be worse.

The Cubs started out the game with 8 consecutive hits, tying a Major League Record. This is sort of like the Chance card I pulled last night in Monopoly, where I won second prize in the beauty contest, earning $10. We have won 2 in a row now. This is like some sort of midget high-jump, where the bar is incredibly low. But here I am, checking out the Wild Card (8 games back, 8 hits a row: coincidence? Yes.) And of course, we are playing the Pirates. It’s like beating Jim Abbott in right-handed Rock-Paper-Scissors (rock again, eh Jim?) Oh why can’t I stop watching this team?

Some more nonsense after the jump (though I already wasted all my A-material)

I believe there was a robot in Base Wars that could move the same way

Pretty much everyone piled up on Zach Duke, with my man D. Lee’s average now at .300. Dempster got his 9^th win on the season in front of 17,000 masochistic individuals (they got a bridge though!). With the Cubs playing one more against the Pirates then the Reds, certainly a nice string of wins isn’t out of the question, which will hopefully get back in the race. But I should really know better.
