Everything sucks, lalala.
Well, the first game of football was last night, and the Steelers took out the Dolphins in a testament to why they won the Superbowl and how great football can make you feel. If anybody was watching (which I wasn't), you heard that the Pittsburgh mayor died last week and that the victory was going to help the grieving city overcome its loss. Overcoming loss by winning, eh? It's sheer brilliance. Anyway, I wasn't watching because Beth and I were doing an Arrested Development marathon, and I don't really like either team. Sorry, I'm shallow. But ahhh does it feel good to get football back!
...because the Cubs have achieved a notable plunge into last place of the god damn NL Central. Yes, friends, the very last place. They are tied with Tampa Bay for the second worst record in Major League Baseball. Of course, as long as Kansas City is around, they'll never be last place of everything ever. But since the Cubs are only four games in front of KC, I'm sure I'll be eating my words before the season ends, which is not soon enough.
So, a run-down here of how much baseball sucks right now: my home team (Cubs) are so far out of playoff contention that it's funny. My adopted-home team (RSox) are 9 games back from first and probably not going to make the Wild Card. My backup home team (WSox, COME on) are out of the wildcard by a half a game, but their prospects are a little dim. So I don't really care what happens in the post season.
OK, I'm lying, of course I care. I'm thinking either Detroit (my family is really tight with Michigan) or Oakland are going to win it all. The Twins? Not so much. Of course, if I had gone to UofM Twin Cities for college instead of BU, this would be a much different post. But then again, I wouldn't be posting it because I would have never met the lovely ladies who started Chickball. Hm. And I'm not even considering the NL will get anywhere. What a crappy league. YEAH I SAID IT. ::cries::

Yeah, the NL is really horrible.
And the Cubs are one of the most attrocious in such a league.
Sorry. I do like how you're trying your damndest to attach yourself to a winner (I have a half-cousin who lives in California, so let's go A's!)
I caught a good chunk of last night's Steelers-Dolphins game, and two things stood out: Joey Porter's blatant affection for Bill Cowher (yes, he kissed him after his TD) and the fact that Daunte Culpepper really does suck. Poor Dolphins. They finally try to turn their franchise around with a new QB and they go for Daunte fricken Culpepper. I guess this is good news for the AFC East...
