If you're keeping score at home, it's 9 wins in a row for the Chicago Cubs. Normally I wouldn't give a rat's rear end for the Chicago northsiders - I'm too busy suffering with the poor Yankees.
Lou Piniella, former Yankee player, manager, and GM is the reason why I feel good about the Cubs' success. It also gives Pat Hughes and Ron Santo something to talk about on WGN Radio during the games. They're a great broadcast team. Last year, I remember when a fan e-mailed Ron Santo with a household hint. He explained that Ron should try washing his toupee in the dishwasher!
All this entertainment and winning baseball. It almost makes burning $4-a-gallon gas on the ride home....well...okay.
