And We're Left With This

The Blackhawks won the Stanley Cup last week.  The parade has come and gone.  They were at Wrigley Field tonight to throw out the first pitch and sing the 7th Inning Stretch.  Tomorrow they will be on the Tonight Show.

That leaves us with baseball until football starts in August.  Baseball has been pretty depressing so far.  The White Sox had won four straight games until tonight.  Both pitchers had no hitters going into the 6th inning.  Gavin Floyd lost his in the bottom of the 6th, Ted Lily in the top of the 9th.  I was sure it was going to be the first game neither team would win but the Cubs somehow got one run to salvage the final game of the series.

It is no coincidence that the winner of the combined series receives a trinket called The BP Cup.  That would make the less losing of two losing teams receiving a trophy from a loser company that is destroying the environment in the Gulf of Mexico.

It's all so sad.
