Just another Monday

[ksmith]

The Cubs scored three runs in the bottom of the 9th to beat the Reds 7-6 and retain their 1-game lead over the Brewers.

I tried to write as this tomfoolery was taking place. Dialogue. Two-finger typing. A word here, a word there. Then a big wodge of world-building backstory flooped into backbrain. Some of it hit the page, but the rest needs reworking/tweaking/blasted research. There's no way I will be able to do very much if I want to finish the proposal by the end of the month. I will likely do Just Enough, write what I want, and make everything fit together if someone decides to pay for the rest.

Heh

Not exactly a name to strike fear in a batter, though he had a good year in '03 with the Cubs. Timing is everything.

Yet another player who declined to come into his own until he left the team.

In other news, Mark Cuban was apparently at the game last night. He watched from the bleachers. If he is able to buy the Cubs...it would definitely liven things up a bit.

I respect his winning attitude. One of the things that sometimes drives me crazy about the Indians is the ownership isn't willing to spend money year in and year out to contend. Rebuilding sucks. So I can understand and appreciate owners like Cuban and Steinbrenner.
