Maybe tomorrow! It's a long season. :) Which can be cool or depressing, depending on your point of view, but right now I'm choosing to look on the bright side of things.

My wife has decided that she wants to go to a game. I have three games left and she was deciding who she wants to go with us. I found it funny.

Stupid...bloody...frickin'...
Why the hell can't they beat the bleeping Devil Rays and Royals? WHY? I mean, I realize the Yanks are mediocre this year, but those teams stink! That's the difference between their current position and first place right there. Dammit dammit dammit. They'd better win today.
ETA- Crap crap crappity crap crap. Crap.

*breaks things*
That's not a reaction to the Cubws, by the way.

I don't get this team. I just don't. They just calmly kicked the crap out of one of the AL's best teams twice in a row, but the Devil Rays slay them.

Plum, the White Sox are on a skid.
Cubs lose today, but have been a little better lately. The season is over, but I will see a few more games. I am taking my wife to one of them.

I know the White Sox haven't been doing that well, but Yankees fought them hard in the last series they played, too. Yet somehow the Devil Rays and Royals, two of the worst teams out there, give New York conniptions. They've got 9 games left against those teams, mixed in with a lot of Seattle, Oakland, Baltimore, and Toronto. If the Yanks want the Wild Card, they're going to have to fight for it tooth and nail. I don't like their chances, but what can I do except cheer them on?
Have fun at Wrigley. :) I'm going to try to make it to the Stadium one more time before I leave for school, but I'm not sure it's possible. Ah, well. If our teams get eliminated, we can at least take malicious pleasure from altering the playoff prospects of others.

That is true. I did enjoy taking 2 of 3 from the Cardinals and winning the Houston series.

*nods solemnly*
Actually, causing baseballs to fly in the air by means of arm or bat is just a bad, bad idea unless you're at least 150 feet or so from the nearest easily damaged structure.
Not that I speak from experience or anything.

Plum, that has been the mode the Braves operate in for years, except for the immenent playoff cloapse against a better team.
I also have been banned from being near a ball or bat indoors, or near a building.
Ah well, the Yanks seem to be creeping back into it.
so all is well! (mostly)

I stand corrected, you are as vapid as they say.

Heh. I've managed to cause damage with a friggin' Pink Pong ball, which is so insubstantial you can get hit with one full force and hardly feel a thing.

I understand that type of destruction Plum.
My friend and I back in college used to play ball inside at any opportunity... we definitely knocked a NERF football into a light fixture and caused a huge section of the ceiling to come crashing down.

*snicker* One of our dorms has an organized hall tee-ball league. I don't think they've broken anything yet, but it's just a matter of time.

the first step is definitely NEVER letting me into that building, although I love indoor TeeBall.

Sorry the others lost, but the Braves just avoided being swept in season series by an NL team for the first time ever so I'm pretty happy!

Well, at least Oakland lost, so the Yanks are no farther back than before in the Wild Card race.

Oh, cripes. This game is killing me.
The scoring so far:
Top 4th- 2-0 Toronto
Bottom 6th- 2-1 Toronto
Bottom 7th- 2-2 Tie
Top 8th- 3-2 Toronto
Bottom 8th- 3-3 Tie
Top 9th- 4-3 Toronto
And now Matsui hit a home run to tie it again.
D'you think maybe this time they can actually take the lead? And, you know...not blow it in the next half-inning? That would be nice.
