Chicago Cubs at San Francisco Giants, Jul 1, 2008 7:15 PM PDT
Visiting our sister site, Bleed Cubbie Blue, I'm struck by a couple of things:
1. Cubs fans pity us. They know our pain, and they pity that pain. I'm not sure how that should make me feel.
2. The blogger for Bleed Cubbie Blue uses a lot more widgets for his gamethreads than I do. There is a widget gap. Therefore, I'm going to try out some widgets for this gamethread.

We should switch Cain and Vizquel in the order.

Bochy should put Cain in the cleanup spot, just for the hell of it.

At one point, I believe Cain was actually leading the team in OPS.

Hey if we can all agree that being a fan of these teams is misery, pain, and futility, day in and day out, then we can surely be friends.

re: Vizquel
As I recall, in yesterday’s pregame, Bochy said Burriss would start against “some lefties.” So, I’m not too surprised he’s not playing today. Irritated and baffled, but not surprised.

We also both suffered through Neifi getting far more playing time than he deserved.
With that having been said, living on Chicago’s North Side for three years killed off any desires I might have had to feel communion with Cubs fans.

About to start on toight’s dinner – Chilaquiles with chorizo. Last time I made it, I forgot to cook the chorizo before assembling the dish, so I ended up having to bake the whole thing for quite a while to cook it. Which meant we ate very late and it ended up basically being a soggy casserole. The bar is low – it will be better this time! Huzzah!

My wife (who is, in fact, Chinese American) has a tattoo of the character for dragon on her ankle, as she was born in the year of the dragon. When she called her mom to tell her about it, her mom immediately, before passing along the news to anyone else, replied, “your grandmother is crying!”

One more then I'll stop
I ran into one guy who thought he had the Chinese word for “Weed” tatooed on his neck. I didn’t have the heart to tell him that it was actually “Vegetable”.

Someone asked how many pitches he threw and like 15 people answered, all at once, with “109”.
