Twins and Cubs

If I could ever figure out how to add categories to this blog I would probably have one for baseball.

Since I am studying for the GRE all day (and am getting a late start) I will post light today. Just enough to say congratulations to the Twins for their marathon win against the White Sox. Today they go for the sweep (on the road) against baseball's toughest team.

Congratulations to the Cubs as well. It has been a miserable season to any fan with high expectations (Cubs fans should know better). The Cubs are sadly tied with the Brewers in their division--it has come to this. However, despite their woes they are still hanging on to the Wild Card race. Last nights victory over the Astros should give them a good boost.

For the first time this season the Cubs are playing with their intended starting lineup. Nomar is finally back and contributing. Even though Wood is throwing out of the pen now it should be interesting to see how they are able to finish a tough season.
