Cubs Emotion-o-Meter, 9/11 Edition: 17 Games Left To Go

By: T.R. Slyder, TRSlyder@yahoo.com

Both Milwonky and the Cubs both won last night. The lead is still 4.5 with 17 to play, 6 of those 17 games are against Milwonky, so there's no point in making any assumptions just yet. Our Magic Number to win the division is 13, and the Magic Number for making the playoffs is down to 9.

Cubs Emotion-o-Meter Word(s) of the Day is still: Vigilant Optimism/Wait and See. Not much to do but sit and watch.

Update: I just realized that Tuesday was the 39th Anniversary of the black cat running around Ron Santo in the on deck circle at Shea Stadium in 1969. That was done in like the 6th or 7th inning. What kind of fan smuggles a cat into a baseball stadium and keeps it hidden in a bag, or in the pants for 6 freaking innings? New Yorkers, that's who. But to his credit, much like fellow New Yorker Alphonse Capone, he's a nutty New Yorker that made Chicago history.
