Y'know...
I tried incorporate teaching and Cubs, but failed. Miserably. This was the best alternative I had.

I come from a long line of teachers
you guys have a tough, tough job on many levels. My bro is a middle school music teacher. Favorite story: he hung a picture of Leonardo DiCaprio in his music room at the height of the Titanic craziness. Whenever the boys acted out or screwed up they had to come up and kiss the poster… ROFL.

OK, I will say it now.
IF we are not going to score enough to win this game, then score no runs in the 9th. Don’t waste ‘em. Just save ‘em for tomorrow and beat the DeadBirds tomorrow and take the series.
Either score enough to win the game or go quietly into the night.

Pretty sure it'll be his third
He went 4 innings the first time, and I think 5 the second time, so he’s still probably on a pitch count.

So they might be 12-5 since Soriano's return, instead of 13-4
I can live with that.

The best thing about this
is that it’s only one loss, and we got all of our bad pitching and bad hitting out of our system. Tomorrow, everything (except Joe Morgan) will be a blissful Cubs celebration.

Today's game made me sick at first
Then I realized that maybe this will really wake up the team. Not that we weren’t playing well, because we have been playing awesome, but maybe the whole team can look at this game and refocus.
The whole team should go out, get wasted, and then kick ass tomorrow.
