Sorry Cubs!

It seems I jinxed the Chicago Cubs by picking them as my playoff team, as they just lost their series with the Dodgers. Maybe next year, guys!


In happier sports news, my Oklahoma Sooners beat Baylor to remain undefeated and number one in the country. The other teams I am tracking did not do so well. Next Saturday Oklahoma plays Texas in the most important game of the year for both states. The Friday before the game is actually a holiday in Norman, Oklahoma with classes canceled from grade school to college, so everyone can travel to Dallas to watch the game. I won't be making the trip myself, so I hope they broadcast the game here in Oregon.

Now that I have shared my sporting news, I will soon return to biological postings.

Go Cubs!

In my attempt to shield myself from toxic election news, I have been listening to sports radio instead of NPR. Today I heard about a song that Eddie Vedder, lead singer of Pearl Jam - the greatest band on earth, wrote for the Chicago Cubs. I checked out the song on YouTube and I now have a favorite team in the playoffs that started today. My perennial favorite, the Atlanta Braves, failed win many games this year, so I needed some direction from Eddie.
