Sliding: do we, as a species, not spend enough time
thinking about it? Yes, we do not. Jack Curry
discusses the topic at length in today's New York
Times.
I think it speaks well of the Tribune company that
they allows pieces like this one in their sports
section, writing off another one of their holdings.
Rick Morrissey writes that the Cubs hot start is just
an illusion and that they will eventually return to
form and approach the 75-87 record he predicted for
him (I was a little more ambitious for them, pegging
them at 79 wins). It would seem that he is under a lot
of heat from Cubs fans for his pick in the wake of his
hot start.
If you hate the Mets or hate yourself for loving them,
you'll want to read Mike Vacarro's piece on them in
today's New York Post. It's a fine bit of cynical
writing, the likes of which we don't see enough of in
these overly-forgiving times.
