Everyone else is getting into their Autumn/Fall colors, so I figured it's time for me to play follow-the-leader.

Tonight's going to be crazy. Survivor starts in less than 10 minutes, Supernatural is on at 8pm, the VP debate is also on at 8pm, and the Cubs are playing at 8:30pm! My plan is to watch Survivor, record both Supernatural and the debate (for some reason my fingers keep wanting to capitalize the T in "the) and listen to the game on the radio.

The Cubs lost game 1 to the Dodgers last night, and MUST win tonight if they want to have any chance of winning the series. Saturday and Sunday games are both in Los Angeles. Historically, the team that won the first game of the divisional series usually wins the series. So the Cubs only have a 14% chance of winning this series and moving on to the next round. Keep your fingers crossed the Cubs can get it together tonight!

9:11PM Update: It's the bottom of the 2nd inning, and it's already 5-0 Dodgers. It's going to be a LONG night...

10:57PM Update: 8-1 in the 8th inning. I had to turn the radio off, I just couldn't listen to it anymore, it was pure torture. Three errors in the first three innings? The Cubs are going to have a very difficult time trying to come back from this to win the series. They have the talent to do it, but unfortunately, there's only one person on the team actually hitting the ball. Did the Cubs and the city of Chicago celebrate just a little too early when they had the rally last Tuesday?

  4. Right, the season premiere for CSI is next week.

    I noticed you don't have me in your list of blog links anymore. I guess I got kicked out for some reason. :(

  5. AK,

    I switched from my own list put together to the list based on my "followed" blogs. Since your blog is set to private, I can't follow it, hence it won't be in the list. But I still check it each day.

    Alice, most of us that changed over to the follow lost all the links we'd established and since you're on private....well the blog simply cant be added. I still check it daily as well.

  9. Ut oh. This morning's headline reads, "Cubs Flub: Manny, Dodgers take 2-0 lead over Cubs"

    My crossed toes did ...nothing.

  10. Sometimes you can't follow the crowd...you have to go your own way. No problem. I understand. :(

  11. Hugs ya so sorry about the Cubbies. I had my fingers crossed and we watched most of the game last night at the cabin. I'm bummed...I certainly know how you feel. Just cos the Red Sox have won a couple of world series in the last few years, I still remember the pain of the 86 previous years.
