The National League: Where being .500 could mean playoffs!

[piney61]

So what's new boys and girls? Not much here. Just got back from classes. They weren't bad, I did good w/ my drawing ish so yay on that :) A-/B+ range to be exact. Anyways, there's really not a whole lot going on right now. Just a whole wad of boredom. I've been a pretty bad fan lately and haven't been really watching the games well too intently. Partially because both TVs are taken over and partially because well they're not exaclty lighting it up. And it's interesting to see that Cleveland did to Chicago what Chicago did to them last season and obliterated them, making them not make the playoffs. I wish the Red Sox were playing a contender and could've played spoiler. That would've been fun. So basically whose in are these fellers.
