Quick Tic

Due to a phone call a few minutes ago, I find I'm off to Wrigley today. What a great way to spend your kid's 1st birthday. Me at Wrigley, him at daycare!

Plead the 5th

No announced starter for tomorrow, yet. The papers say that the Cubs are dropping hints that it will be Cruz over Estes. Don't drop a hint. Drop Estes from the rotation.

Other notes:

Prior looked gassed yesterday. A human Prior = Astros 2003 Central Division Champs. Might be a good idea to get a 5 day rest cycle for the rotation.

A Gonz - Biddle went: Ball, ball, single to Karros. TAKE A PITCH!!!!! TRY FOR A WALK!!!!! (pleasepleasepleaseTejadapleasepleaseplease)

Now 2 games below High Water. Need a Reds sweep to get back above. A 2-1 series only gets you 9 over. And St. Loser is prime to get swept by Houston. St. Loser needs to take at least 1.

"There is a war going on in the Middle East, and members of Hamas are soldiers in that war," presidential candidate Howard Dean said Wednesday.

"Soldiers?" Even the EU voted last week to brand Hamas a terrorist group. The EU even proved this with actual action and froze Hamas bank accounts. What the hell is Dean thinking? I'm thinking he's as viable a candidate for me to vote for as Sharpton, Kucinich and Braun.
