You realize we're tied 1-1.
The ground has yet to open and swallow the Cubs into the abyss.

I had a chem prof
He basically taught P-Chem for freshmen. He was ancient; we used to joke that he taught chemistry to God.
That class was tough, but he tried to ease the sting a little. One guy got his test back with the following written on the top:
“Into everyone’s life, a little rain must fall.”
Dropped that course the next semester.

did he take it?
I thought he swung.

That's gotta be one of the worst ways to end an inning.
I've committed to tweeting about the Cubs for the rest of the season. (Does that sound as ridiculous as I think it does?) Anyway, if you're on Twitter, you can follow me here.
and they've done it twice in two games
