9. Steve Wilson; P
10. Mitch Williams; P
11. Lance Dickson; P
12. Mike Harkey; P
13. Mike Bielecki; P
14. Jeff Pico; P

Ok, so there’s 14 there.  These are the names that make me go “Who?”  I do have others, Joe Girardi, Rick Sutcliffe, Paul Assenmacher (Not sure why I remember him), Ryne Sandberg, Mark Grace, Greg Maddux & Jody Davis.

I can’t WAIT for baseball to start.

Thursday 13

Wordless Wednesday

aaaaaaaaaaargh!!

Stupid Cubs.  They folded like a cheap suit.  Fell like a house of cards.  They choked and no one was there to perform the Heimlich maneuver.  The team with the best record in baseball gets swept out of the playoffs.  AGAIN.

F F Friday (19)

Still plugging and chugging with Fucking Floral Friday with Saintseester.

YEAH!!!

Well, the Cubs did it!  They made it to the post-season by winning Saturday.  The game was another good one azgainst St. Louis.  The Cubs won their final home game of the regular season.  7 games left.  Four in New York and 3 in Milwaukee.

And then it was two.

The Cubs won a thrilling extra inning game today.  They were down 6-2 going into the bottom of the 9th.  Soto tied the game in the bottom of the 9th forcing extra innings.  It only took 3 extra innings before Lee hit the game winning single.

With the Cubs win, the magic number is TWO!

WAHOO!!!

I don’t understand…

The Cubs are now 83-50.  YEAH CUBS!!  The sports announcers state that they are 33 games above .500.  I don’t get that.  Shouldn’t it be 16.5 games over .500?  If they lost all those games, they wouldn’t be at .500.
