Exactly.

The only good thing about today is I got to walk around with a wisk broom in my shirt pocket. I didn't have to say a word to any of the Cardinal fans in the office; they knew exactly what it represented. First time since 1972 have the Cubs swept the Cards in a 4-game series.

"Is that a broom in your pocket, or are you just happy to see the Cardinals lose?"

I'm not much into baseball. I got my satisfaction when I was 16 years old watching Tim McGraw's daddy finishing off the Royals in October 1980 and my last hearbreak watching Joe Carter skip around the bases in 1993.

But Big Papi is ridiculous. He makes you sit and watch, just like I would watch Barry Sanders or Randy Moss in football. And he's clutch like MJ or Kobe in basketball.

Oh well, that will be my one baseball comment for the season. 38 days until Miami @ Pittsburgh.

"Touch 'em all, Joe." Ah yes, the glory time for the Jays.

93 was fun cuz the Jays won the WS and the Habs won the SC.

Yeah, but who was MVP of the Grey Cup.

MVP if he keeps it up. Biggest bargain in beisbol.
