Since I've been going "Wide Open" for so long, and was in town anyway, I decided to take yesterday off. It gave me a chance to catch up on a few chores around the house that had been neglected in my two-month absence. Stupid stuff like: getting by the bank to have my zip code changed and order new checks, etc., and get a little rest if possible.
I sat down in the old easy chair, and started surfing through the digital cable-channel guide as usual, and I noted that my beloved Cubbie's were playing! Huzzah! I actually get to watch a game... finally. I really enjoyed the fact that the Washington Nationals just stomped the crap out of my team. Kerry Wood was pitching strikes all night, but the Nats' bats were hot so they got a couple of home runs.
Tonight they were going to be broadcast again, against the American League (Not REAL Baseball!) White Sox, and I got home in time to turn the game on. Well, through checking blogs, and conversations with the rest of the household, I wasn't able to focus on the game much... So I didn't get to see how my Cubs managed to lose 6 to 1. Hmmn. I think I see a pattern forming here. Channel 22? You're now Dead to Me. Maybe if I don't watch them, they'll have at least even odds on winning.

I was on the phone during most of the game. Last I had checked the score was 1 to 1. I got off the phone and heard 2 2. I hollered WooHoo - it's still tied.
That was when I realized they were talkin' about that pitch. It was 6 to 1. Son of a gun.....
Cubbies'll get 'em next time. After all - the Sox lost to the flippin' Devil Rays last week!!! How tough can they be? ;-)

I'd rather the Sox took it, but as long as Chicago wins, it's all cool.
