Baseball 2007

I love to watch high scoring games! no hitters are OK-but give me a runfest any day of the week!

Did you see the game between the Cubs and the L.A. Dodgers yesterday ... L.A. 11, Cubs 3. Does that count as high-scoring with you? When I was in high school they played one where they scored 22, but they lost because the opponent scored 23! Every couple of seasons, we sometimes see that one on late night TV during the off-season.

Ironically, Milwaukee and St. Louis also lost, so the Cubs are still on top of the N.L. Central. I thought Zambrano was not at his best yesterday - between his pitching and base-running he just didn't have a good day. It's too bad - the Cubs enjoy successful seasons like this one so infrequently and then a player behaving badly (and blaming it on his personal perfectionist streak) has to go and spoil it.

A Cubs fan on the edge of her seat here ... I know not to get my hopes up because these are the Cubs we're talking about here (remember the Steve Bartman ball incident from a few years ago?). But they are doing really well for a change.

Go, Cubs, Go!

And on the South Side ... the Sox have won three of their last 5 and Thome did get his 500th home run. It has been frustrating to watch them this season. They just haven't been able to get consistent success.

My current hopes for the playoffs?

Boston Red Sox vs. Philadelphia Phillies.

Why?

I dearly want to see Brett Meyers (the wife beater) go back to Fenway so he can get booed off of the field. (If it does happen he's going to need a police escort around town. The Red Sox have gotten rid of at least two players for similar problems, and the fans forced the team's hand on the issue)

I love what Holliday, the player who scored the winning run in last night's game said today..

I don't remember if I touched home, the ump said I did....

Which really means....I was too busy bouncing my face through the batter's box to notice!


Playoffs, playoffs!

SOX!
