I already learned what will happen this year in baseball, so no need to watch it:

Thanks for the recap Chuck. Last week, as the loyal Cubs fan I am, I left my college roommate (also a Cubs fan) the following voicemail;
Flowers are coming up, grass is turning green, spring training is almost over, Wood and Prior are on the DL. Baseball season is officially here.

I was pretty excited about the new hit and run offense the Cubs seem to be playing. I'd rather watch that style than a bunch of stiffs standing on base waiting for a home run.

Yup, everything started out normal.....the Yanks are in first.....the BoSox are next to last..... the Mariners are on their way.....Mick is still optimistic...and the Cubbies' fans have visions of sugarplum dancing in their heads.

Unfortunately, there is no Santa Claus, Virginia.

JR - better look again. The BoSox are ahead of the Yanks, because they won their game first. It's gonna be tough coming back from that deficit...

And I've never seen a sugurplum, so I don't know how one could start dancing in my head. Maybe I should ask Bob?

Sigh......

Lemmee see now....the Yanks are 1-0.....Boston is 1-0... Baltimore is 1-0.....ergo, their winning percentage is 1000 and they're all in first place.......the other 2 team in their division have a winning percentage of .0000 and they are tied for last place. Now, for the mathematically disadvantaged and Cubs's fans, is it not true that the Yankees are in first place? Is it also not true that the BoSox are next to last?

Did you hit an abutment head-on too, Katie Jr.?

You're right, I now see the error of my ways.

The Red Sox are in first, and the Evil Empire is next to last. Thank you for clearing that up.
