An interesting experience

Thursday night we had an interesting experience.  Caleb got to hit a few balls in the only batting cage in the country.  It was kind of surreal: helmets, bats, the guy even has an mlb.com subscription and so he was playing WGN Cubs radio over the sound system.  Sort of like you could just go and buy a Big Red and some sunflower seeds at the snack bar.

The weird thing was seeing the stack of USA Today Sports Weekly.  I was seeing Manny Ramirez in a Dodgers uniform, Brett Farve dressed up as a NY Jet, and other crazy sights.  Obviously those are bootlegs since sports stars and their teams are just like we left them last July, right?

No, brother, those are not bootlegs. The sporting world has been turned upside-down. I'll try and keep you up-to-date on sports info. Carlos Zambrano just pitched a no-hitter for the Cubs last weekend. Vince Young has lost his starting QB position to Kerry Collins after injuring his knee. He's also not doing too well mentally right now, with the pressure and all. Tom Brady's season ended in the 1st qtr. of the 1st game after he tore an ACL and MCL in his knee. The Cowboys are gonna win the Super Bowl (Okay that's just me sating that, but they do look real good this year). Aaron Rodgers, Favre's replacement, is playing great football. That's all I can think of for now.

I remembered another crazy sports story: the Tampa Bay Rays are in 1st place! It's like we're living in the Twilight Zone!
