... just crash-landed into the break, and with only one All-Star. Geez. Baseball is fickle, man. It's a tough, sensitive sport. A game of rhythm and momentum that must be nurtured, stoked, upheld somehow, or things go flat, the bounces go the other way, and suddenly you suck even though you're loaded with talent. Sports and life, always analogous. The Cubs still have a good shot at the playoffs – thankfully they're not in the NL West, for example – but I'd say last week was their worst of the season; so yeah, they're like not improving. The Dodgers and Astros look way more capable and hungry. But Theo and Joe won't disappoint us, and all the hundred year bullshit is over. Finally. Thank God.
