Long days ahead
I always get a little depressed when baseball season ends, and I know that's coming up in a few short weeks. It's the end of summer, the end of long days of sunshine, the end of warmth. Today is the last Cub home game, and I was so very close to going to the game, but decided not to.
Instead, I went running and took a turn around the old ballpark. Right as I got to the park, it started raining, the Pirates made the last out of the top of the 7th, and someone came on the loudspeaker to lead Wrigleyville in one last rendition of Take Me Out to the Ballgame. It seemed fitting to hear that song one last time as I plodded away from the stadium.
One last thing: I see that Len and Bob are telecasting the game from the left field bleachers, which a kid from Buffalo Grove HS (shout-out to Christy's alma mater!) used as a platform to ask a girl named Olivia to go to homecoming with him. Aww. She said yes, by the way. One question: how come this kid wasn't AT school?
