Ho, doctor, it's a heck of a rotation the Cubs are swinging out there these days. You've got not one, not two, but three potential aces in the rotation, leaving opponents shaking their heads in disbelief. Yes folks, it's a brave new Cubs world out there, and I'm proud to be a part of it.

And by "be a part of it" I of course mean: "rehash tired cliches for the amusement of family members and myself." My mother always said, if you don't have anything original to say, say it on blogger. And I don't. Have anything original to say. Regarding the Cubs.

However, that may change, as I will finally get to follow the game today in real time, or at least the first two hours of it before I have to go run. For the last month or so, I have missed most every game for one of three reasons:

1. It was a weekday 1:20 game and it directly overlapped with my 2 1/2 hour long C++ course
2. It was a night game, and I missed all but 2 innings of it because I run at night
3. It was a weekend game and I was out enjoying the city during the day or out of town

Most of the games I managed to catch were weekend games, especially on Sunday. But it has been a frustrating month in that regard as I really like to, at the minimum, follow the game in realtime on gamecast. But no more C++ course, and so today I will be free to follow the game. Go go Greg Maddux!
