The Summer Tease

We actually had to use the car air conditioning today but it's not quite summer yet. The weekend will only have highs in the 50's but today and tomorrow is certainly nice. Tomorrow is the conference track meet for Coco and we have the Cubs game at Miller Park tomorrow.

The Bulls lost game 2 last night and were never really in the game from the get go. At least Jimmy Butler was named the most improved player today and game 3 will be at the United Center.

The Blackhawks try to sweep Minnesota tonight. It would be nice as the defenseman could use the rest.

It was 17 years ago today that Kerry Wood had his 20 strikeout game. It's still the best baseball game that I've ever seen in my life by far. It was so exciting watching him mow the batters down. In a way it probably hurt his career in the long run. The pressure to strike everyone out took a toll on his arm and it's feasible that he could still be pitching today as injuries crept up on him. He was only 20 or 21 years old when he pitched that game.

Tragedy in Key West as 2 people jumped into the water at Mallory Square and one was swept away by the current and drowned. It's very deep right there as the cruise ships dock next to it. The army dredged it years ago for cargo and cruise ships alike.
