Baseball, baseball and more baseball

After not going to any games since opening weekend, I managed to more than make up for it this past weekend by going to the games against the Cubs on Friday AND Sunday…and I’m headed to the game against the Braves tonight! The weather has not been great for any of the games, but we won the two I went to…and considering how many Cubs fan were in attendance, that was a pretty fun! Seriously though, I think the Cubs fans out numbered the Nats fans, and they were certainly much more vacal, chanting “Let’s Go Cubbies!” I guess it didn’t help that I went with a bunch of Cubs fans, did it? Well I promised a few of them that I would put this up for them.

Cub’s manager, Lou Piniella, aka Sweet Lou, is well known for his “animated” disagreements with umpires. Lou fans can now download their very own Lou bobblehead widget that will give you a daily affirmation. Today’s affirmation: “Until you walk a mile in someone’s shoes, don’t kick dirt on them.”

The TV spot, a commercial for Aquafina, is pretty funny too and has gotten some laughs from all of my Chicagoland friends.

President’s Race update: Teddy was disqualified for cheating on Friday and slipped on a giant banana on Sunday. On Saturday, a giant panther attacked him…I think it’s time for the team to either start letting him win (he had a huge lead on Saturday and Sunday) or come up with some better ways to make him lose. A giant cat? Really?
