Uh...   how does the rest of that song go?   I don't remember.    You would think I haven't sung or hummed it more than 80 times.

(yes...  ONLY 80 times!   Skinny keeps the volume turned down when logging into the sports page >;0)

So, with the win today, that puts the Cubs at 81 - 50 and a whopping 31 games above .500 for the season, including a 49-19 record at Wrigley... simply has been an amazing year.    I'd probably be posting more this last couple weeks had I not spent all my time and money (mmm... beer) watching Cubs games and simply enjoying them, as opposed to writing about them...   ironically,  the same thing I did during the entire Olympics.   Usually I'm too drunk to comment logically... That leads to sentances full of "WHOOOoo HOOOoo's" and naughty language. Some consider that a problem. However, I believe that's only a problem if you're willing to admit it.    Sooo, life is good, and it should only get better when the Cubbies spend a week in Pittsburgh,   which can only mean one thing:   they're playing that last place team again.    Can you spell 'W' ?

One's thing's for certain,   (besides the fact that I'll never check myself into AA)
You can count on me sitting at the local bar watching on Wednesday,  for what I'm calling a "liquid lunch break"

What still baffles me is that the Cardinals would be in first place if they were in any other division...
