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.

Yup, you can put it that way too. I prefer not to. The unbeaten Cubbies are next to last also.

Kinda sounds better that way somehow.....

Damn. And I thought this thread had actually relocated to where it belongs, somewhere like the baseball forum, or general forum, where it better fits.

Hey, shouldn't you be mapping out your route for the big inter-timezone extravaganza tomorrow morning?

btw...1 bit of news Chuck missed is that Barry Bonds visited the most laid back, non-judgemental and nauseatingly friendly city in the entire country & was roundly and soundly booed by each and every fan every single time he peeked his head out of the dugout. This is gonna get really ugly when he gets to Philly. And I hear the Mets are moving "flashlight battery day" to coincide with Bonds' visit to Shea.

Oh yeah, and it seems for some reason he's only hitting to the warning track now.

AFAIK Chuck that's where the the player's actually stay when they are not on the field. I might have this wrong, but I'm pretty sure I'm right.

Sigh...thanks alot o' Juggling One.

I've almost gotten to the point of considering their contributions, combined, to be essentially a 5th starter. If the Cubs get more out them, it's a bonus. If they can get Wade Miller in the rotation, keep Zambrano off the internet, and find a refill on Maddux's "fountain of youth" water bottle, they just might give Houston a good battle for second.

So, in the meantime:
