Well, this isn't exactly where we thought we'd end up, is it?  Wrigley, our secret weapon defanged.  Few clutch hits.  Erratic pitching in the first game, erratic fielding in the second game.  It sucks.

Back before the All-Star Break, I made a prediction: that the 2008 Chicago Cubs would be 8-10 games up on the second-place team by the middle of August.  I said that if they weren't 8-10 games up, I'd donate $20 to Project 3000.

Hi, everyone.  We're back from the hospital, and Laura is doing fine.  The surgery went very well, although she's going to need another round of particularly unpleasant medicine (not chemo or anything like that).  I'd like to note for the record that she wore an Aramis Ramirez tshirt to the hospital.

Laura and I will be in attendance at the game tomorrow.  We're getting up at 7 tomorrow morning to be on the train by 8:30 so that we're at Wrigley by 10 so that we can get shirts for my man-crush, Aramis!

Here is our sign:

LOOK FOR THE SIGN!

And if we win, a little something special is on the back.
