Well, it's June and I'm already looking forward to football season so I can watch a team that actually wins.
For those not following the train wreck that is the Chicago Cubs, let's review the recent highlights:
May 29, 2007: Catcher Michael Barrett gets picked off second base by the other team's catcher. Lou Piniella tempts fate, declares "That might be our worst game of the year."
June 1, 2007: Frustrated, Barrett and pitcher Carlos Zambrano slug it out. I don't mean that in the "useful for one's batting average" way. And that may not have even been the most pathetic play of the day.
June 2, 2007: Lou gets his first ejection of the season after having a meltdown over a call he knew was correct. Chicago Tribune writer Dave Van Dyck theorizes, "Maybe Lou Piniella has finally figured out the best way to avoid watching his baseball team—have the umpires throw him out of the game."
Also, Zambrano declares that "I think the only person who can control my emotions is God." Fans throw trash onto the field.
The Cubs are 22-31.
Bring it on, Jets.

But you got a foul ball from Wrigley Field. So you got that going for you. Which is nice.
And if you're looking for the Jets to rescue you from rooting for the hapless Cubs, you might as well hang your hopes on the L.A. Clippers.
