Call me, when you have no class

I have class today. (for once?)

Teaching class, actually. I can only jump on here in little bits, and heaven forbid someone here actually sees me being Uncouth.

All I can say for myself today is this:

At the beginning of the year, I advocated trading Clement. Now, he's our stopper.

Last thursday, I bitched that the Cubs had no fire. Did anyone watch the Reds series?

Yesterday, I griped that the bullpen sucked. They held the Reds scoreless.

I got in the car on the way home, and at that point the bags were loaded, and Derrek Lee was up. I said "what a bust!"....

It seems that I have reverse karmic control over the Cubs' surroundings. The only thing is, I can't just say I'm bitching. I have to mean it.

So it wouldn't work for me today to write about CPat's OBP. He isn't just gonna start taking pitches just because I say he won't. That would go against the spirit of the thing, and it just won't work.

I'm not mad about anything right now. I'm sure I'll be in a lather, tho, if somehow we fuck up in Pittsburgh.
