THE SMALL BALL ROAD SHOW
Batten your hatches, the Small Ball team is hitting the road this weekend. Erik, as you know from his posts below, is already spreading the love in southern California, representing the Cubs in the land of complete and utter darkness, more commonly referred to as Los Angeles.
On Friday, I join him in San Diego for three of the Cubs 4-game series there, where we'll ring-bond our Wonder Twin powers to propel the Cub's through more wins.
The last time the Cubs faced San Diego, they lost the series 2-1. I remember saying around that time -- either to my Dad or to Erik -- that San Diego worried me. I said this from the vantage of a Giants fan. It's one thing to have to face and beat down the evil Dodgers. It's another to have to reclaim a quickly aging NL West division title from the entire lower half of the state.
The Padres are not only hot, they're good. Perhaps not White Sox or Orioles hot, but they're kicking butt in the west and leaving no survivors. On the other hand, the Cubs are either experiencing terrific luck...or they're finally, after two months of baseball, hitting their stride.
Whatever happens in the coming days, I'm bringing my video camera and looking for all kinds of opportunities to embarrass Erik on film, which, of course, I'll convert into streaming vids for your giggling pleasure. Shhh, don't tell Erik.
