Sweeeeet!

Uhhh, I thought the Cubs were supposed to be good, really good. I have to admit, I do enjoy watching them struggle. Since my MLB team is the small-market joke Reds, I find myself rooting against all those teams ESPN loves. Cubs, Red Sox, Yankees. Get it. And how did Eric Young get a job on ESPN? The poor guy can't even get through a sentence without stuttering and flubbing all over his words. We really need to get Bill Walton to take E for a speech lesson.

Moving on, is anyone else really starting to believe in the Rays? These guys are on fire like Lou Brown's Indians in Major League.

It would be awesome to see those kids go all the way. Hopefully they can keep it up and give all the other small-market teams a template to try to emulate. Of course, it won't work. Those pesky templates never do work for anyone but their creator.

One final note: Hockey season starts this weekend.
