Cold-ish

The thermometer says 59 but the wind is strong and cold. Check it out yourself.

One day I hope to come up with something worthy of this space. That day appears to be near.

I love the possible symmetry

of Ryan Dempster getting the first out of the postseason and hopefully Woody getting the last…that would be so poetic a turn of events.

Didn't the Cubs lead the league in Ks by a pitching staff?

Gwynn just said that the defense was “very important” because it’s easy to put the ball in play against this pitching staff…
