1st day of MLB Playoffs...And He's not a pearl...

And my adopted playoff team, the Cubbies, are down 0 - 1 in the NLDS. Why Pinella pulled "Z" at 85 pitches, we just shrug our shoulders.

And the Phillies now down 0 - 1 also got a little of the wind suck out of their sails.

At least the Red Sox won with a dominating performance by John Beckett. My NBX MLB WBSC first day was, of course, 1 - 2 with fantasy sports betting. The BoSox winning put me back close to where I started.

And moving to fantasy football quickly...for all those like me that jumped at Alvin Pearlman (the 3rd string RB after Maurice Morris on the Seahawks) - so how's that working out? Not well appearently...as the RB was just placed on Injured Reserve.

Hope you haven't "reclaimed" your girlfriend's car from a impound lot recently...and even an 8 hour course can turn Michael Vick into an animal lover...at least according to PETA.

Another day of fighting for truth, justice and pulling your own weight!

(Editors Addition: Hey Lou, if the Cubbies keep playing like THIS...there will not be a game 4 to save the "Z" for!!!)
