I was watching the Cubs/Astros game, and Brad Ausmus, the 'Stros catcher, was in the middle of an 0-for-40 slump. It even set an Astros team record for the longest 0-for slump by a position player. I did like his quote: "I've been 0-for-40 before, just not consecutively." He then proceeded to hit one off a diving Ramierez's glove for a base hit, and his "supportive" teammates asked the umpire for the ball. I can only imagine the message that'll be written on it...

I guess being a Cub fan makes me more aware of futility.
