A double whammy

Well, my work softball team did not make the playoffs/tournament, the first time in about 10 years that I'll be sitting home instead of playing at Cabin John in the middle of July.

Oh well, it was a good run. We won back-to-back titles, and three of the last five. Despite two convincing victories in our season finales -- 16-0 over Discovery Channel and 14-9 over AOL -- we lost out on a tiebreaker to Team Video, which beat us on opening day. And a 7-7 finish is much nicer than 5-9 or 6-8. We'll be back for another run next year, in what could be my softball swan song. We'll see.

Check out the Media League website here.

And another OUCH. The White Sux beat the Cubs again yesterday 6-5, and will now pull their own brooms in hopes of sweeping. Tonight's game is on ESPN, which is shocking. Hard to believe they're passing up the Yankees-Mets. Uggh.

At least if the Cubs lose again, they'll still be in first place in the NL Central as they head for San Francisco and then St. Louis. Big stretch of games coming up before the All-Star break.

Gotta keep the momentum going ...
