Strangest team - ever

I don't know what to think or what to say. This team is ... mind-boggling. One day I can't think or work and have to go for a long walk because the loss is so devastating and the next day I can't think or work because the win so exhilarating. Sheesh.

I don't know how Howie holds it together - and there are times when he doesn't - but I'm sure I'd have been uttering only partial words during the 9th innings of each of the past two games. What the heck kind of team is this?

Not only am I rooting for the Cubs to win this weekend, but I'm also keen to see Atlanta win tonight. Why? Because if the Mets & Brewers both lost the first two this weekend then Houston will still be in the Wild Card hunt. And, Chicago has one rainout with Houston to make up after Hurricane Ike. How keen do you think the Cubs will be to have to fly to Houston to play on Monday? Yeah, exactly. So, it will be in Chicago's best interest to LOSE on Sunday to Milwaukee if it comes down to that.

Of course, if the Mets just win then all this is moot. So how about a sweep this weekend?
