Ok, in our personal effort to start following baseball more closely, we present this installment of our daily "feature," lamely titled "Peanuts Here." (We'll see how long this lasts).Like a lot of people our age, Ken Griffey, Jr. used to be our favorite player when we were growing up. From 1996-1999, we don't ever remember seeing somebody whose play excited us so much. We often wonder now what could have been, had he not been injured so much with the Reds and all. Alas, there is no use in that; we shall look to the present! And last night, Griffey popped his 588th career home run in Cincinnati's 10-inning, 6-5 win over the Brewers.
The Brew Crew, sadly, have gone 13-15 since June 23, and we are not pleased to report that their Cinderella season may be coming to an abrupt halt. Yes, even though they're still leading the NL Central, we think they're toast. The Cubs trail by just two games, and are poised to take over first place anytime soon, unless Carlos Zambrano forgets to take his medication again. (Yes, they got killed last night). For some reason, we want to see the Cubs in the World Series. We feel bad for them, almost, and we think this is their year, and that they deserve it.
