Boycott

As some of you know, Erv and I went to watch the Cubs take on the D-backs last night. That's right I said last night, not afternoon. Anyway, the Cubs were easily beaten, 15-4. I told Erv last night that I refuse to pay to see another Cubs game as long as Glendon Rusch is on the team. Glendon turned in yet another inspiring performance last night, allowing only 3 HRs (4 earned runs) in two innings of work. Rusch's ERA (7.44) is actually worse than Prior's (7.20). Do you know how hard it is to pitch worse than Prior has been pitching?! Prior and Ohman pitched bad too, but there is absolutely no reason to have Glendon Rusch on a major league roster.

As if the night wasn't long enough, I missed my exit to get on 94 on the way home and we ended up taking the toll road until Michigan City. Once we got to Michigan City, we were able to find "the boat" and make our way home. We pulled into my driveway at 2:30 am.

I was reading an article in the Chicago Trib this morning and they had a small interview with Mark Grace. They asked if he thought it was odd to see his number 17 being worn by John Mabry at first base. Grace replied, "I know John, he's great. If anybody is going to wear it, I would love for it to be him." Grace added, "They let Bobby Hill wear it. John is a big step up."
