Summing it up nicely

Bruce Miles, a Cubs beat writer for the Daily Herald, writes:

"The Cubs get a pair of games on national TV this weekend, with Fox carrying Saturday afternoon's game at St. Louis and ESPN picking up Sunday night's game.

"For my money, I much prefer the local telecasts, when I get a chance to catch them. Cubs announcers Len Kasper and Bob Brenly quickly have grown into one of the top duos in the game, and the production work of WGN and Comcast is much more suited to baseball than the dizzying array of gizmos and head-spinning camera cuts served up by Fox.

"ESPN's production is more respectful of baseball's nuances, and you get the announcing team of Jon Miller and Joe Morgan.

"I like Miller. Oh, I see I’m out of space to write anything more."

Computers...

Why do I put up with them? My hard drive—or one of them, anyway—crapped out last night, and now I have to go buy a new one. I'm hoping it's not the one I have all my pictures, personal data, backups, e-mails, etc... on. Either way, I'm looking at some seriously annoying times coming up. Sigh...

Yikes

Looks like I've fallen into the pattern of not updating again, as hard as I tried to avoid it. It's amazing I have any readers left. Well, I'm not going to bother promising anything this time, only that I'll try my best to update this baby. I kind of haven't been in the mood to write here lately, but I hope to change that soon.

So sorry for the interruption, we hope to return you to your regularly scheduled programming shortly...
