Crossed Up III

The Cubs lost to the Padres again today, 9-0, in a two-hit masterpiece delivered by some guy you never heard of. This weekend's sweep at Wrigley and last weekend's four-game sweep in San Diego represent the first season sweep in the club's 131-year history. This afternoon at brunch, G-Man's dad said, "This is my 57th summer of a broken heart. I can't take the losing any more, but they're still my Cubbies." I don't know what else to say, except: The 2006 season might as well be over.
