Eeeeeewwwwhhhh....

A couple of years ago, my wife was driving through Auburn, south of Seattle while our then 6-month-old son slept in the car. She saw signs for a multi-family garage sale and being a fan of garage sales, she went to it. Within a few seconds, she sensed that it wasn't multi-family at all but just some guy's house. The guy came out and said "come on in! The stuff is around back!" But my wife got a weird feeling about the whole enterprise, thanked the guy politely and drove away. Just had a creepy feeling. Turns out the guy's name was Gary Ridgway. He was in the papers recently.

HULK GET FLEXIBLE!

How could it get any worse?

Here's how: get the King of Queens involved.

Don't ji--I'm not even going to say it. Don't j-word it. Kerry Wood is the son of a god and a bull.

He and mark prior have been pitching with each other’s mitts. If I hadn’t already been crying last night when I learned that, it would have made me burst into tears.

No j-wording here. Not saying anything about any kind of future. Just, presently, freaking out. In this moment. Because of the 95-year losing streak being broken. That’s it.

4 states have been admitted to the union since the last time the Cubs won a post-season series of any kind.

Go Red Sox.

Both of my grandfathers were born, grew up, got married, had kids, watched them get married and have kids, got sick, and died since the last time to cubs won any post-season series. It occurs to me that if the red sox make it too that could be a sign of the apocalypse. Or that bud selig is fixing this to get people excited about baseball again. I probably need a valium.

Breathe into a paper bag and just think about Dontrelle Willis for a while. Braden Looper, Jeff Conine, Juan Pierre. Stay tethered to the present.
