Must Wins
How many "must win" games is that so far this year? 7?
There are only 2 things in the world that both young men and old men can enjoy without understanding them: Baseball and Women

Only three...
... and so far the Cubs are 3-0 in games I have designated "must-win".

Hmm......
I think it was 8.

Anyway, today should be great. Today I get to see Mark Prior pitch for the first time this season. Darn tv schedule.

SIGH
is it too early to start thinking about next year? I know that hope is supposed to spring eternal for us Cubs fans, but my heart just isn't in it this year.

Our rotation and bull pen are in shambles, watching Burnitz at the plate with runners in scoring position turns out to be just like watching Sammy at the plate with runners in scoring position, and the players look as discouraged as I feel. Meanwhile, St. Louis is off to a big start. . . .  .again.

Through all this, Dusty sits there staring at the lineup card and chewing that damn toothpick, and Hendry sits up in the box looking perplexed. Damn.  . . I want to strangle someone right now.
