My other love

...Though I don't think "other" is correct. I just wrote about computers, which isn't really a love, it's more of an interest. Whatever it is, I'm on to the next thing: sports. You are getting an idea of what I do on my day off and how I go through my Reader: news then sports.

I love basketball. I will watch any game no matter who is playing and will follow March Madness though I don't have a team or follow the Playoffs when I don't care who wins. That's how it was for me this year. But come on, it was the Lakers vs Celtics, a classic matchup. "The NBA Finals games were the six highest-rated and most-watched programs so far in June, the first time that has happened in seven years." Sadly, being in the DR without a TV I was unable to be one of the 16.9 million viewers (on average), though I did watch the stats, courtesy of ESPN GameCast.

I'm not sure how long this will be up, but currently, my love in baseball is the topic of the front ESPN page. I owe many of my sports alliances to my father and brother, but I can say truly, I own this one passed on from them. This one even has roots in my grandpa- "Pop"; if only he could be around for this season. I am talking about the team that has the best record in baseball. The team which has had many curses. The team which has a great outfield. A team which may soon be sold. I'm talking about the Chicago Cubs. Here are a few things that ESPN has to say about this team:

• Some terms it would be helpful to know if you want to join the bandwagon. You should know these if you are a fan.


• Speaking of real vs bandwagon fans


• Wait no longer: 10 reasons this is our year


• If you have time and love baseball and history (or maybe even fashion) you should check out this take on the Cubs uniforms over the years. You think I'm link happy in this blog? Check out this guy; but his links are great.


• And lastly, there have been some good memories in Cubs history.

With a season like this, there has been very little of this.

Go Cubs!!
