Speaking of Z's no hitter,

My computer hard drive totally crashed, and I paid over $150 to retrieve the data on it…mostly because part of that “data” was the video of Z’s no-no. Gotta have that.

Just took it to a computer store.

They said the hard drive was working enough that they could transfer the files I wanted to an external HD. It was more expensive than I was hoping, but in addition to the no hitter, I also had a ton of music and pictures of my son…

Our team which plays in Wrigley,

Thy games be won on the road

Give us this day our daily win.
And limit our losses,
as we inflict them on others.
And lead us not into errors
but deliver us from our defensive woes:
for thine is the hitting
and the pitching, and the fielding, for ever.
Amen!
