Chicago Baseball

Chicago baseball has become so deja vu all over again.

I went to the Cubs game Wednesday night. The temperature was a little cool and the wind was blowing straight in from the lake, but still it was beautiful night for baseball. The Cubs turned what should have been a 2 1/2 hour win into a 3 1/2 hour extra inning loss. I predict they will finish below .500.

The White Sox, who had the best record in baseball for much of the season, have fallen back to earth. Ozzie Guillen, White Sox Manager, says they stink. The White Sox might not make the playoffs even though it is still a statistical improbability.

Thinking about these things, liking baseball as much as I do, adds the gloom to the overcast sky.
