Wait 'til next year!

Well, with today's loss, the Cubs are mathematically eliminated even from the dubious achievement of winning the Wild Card. All that's left of the baseball season for this kid is to root for the Cardinals to be eliminated ASAP. That leaves only the Bears left for me to root for between now and Spring Training, since there apparently isn't going to be a hockey season.

The Cards can't be lucky enough to have their entire staff pitching over their heads two years in a row. Jim Hendry will get us a closer and a second baseman, and we'll get 'em next year.
