Hey, nice game, eh?

Also, great avatar, Gary.

Hope you're doing better.

I don't know what's going to happen first, election day or my going insane. I've become totally paranoid about Obama's chances of winning, despite the polls and the opinions of the "talking heads". I wish I could be more optimistic. It's just that I still see so much racism even here in New York City. If that's the case, I wonder what it must be like in other, less liberal parts of the country.

Sorry if this post sounds a lot like my last one. Just had to vent.

After everything I've seen in my lifetime, I can't think of anything more memorable than the Obama victory. I'm stunned , but deliriously happy.

Thanks for enlightening me on the Bears game. Unlike baseball, I don't have the NFL package. From what I've seen of Orton, I agree that he's developing into a solid QB.

I'm surprised at your description of the Bears defense. I guess that just because they have a bunch of "name" players doesn't mean that they're doing the job. I'm not nearly as much of a Bears fan as I am a White Sox fan. Right now though, they're my only focus when it comes to sports. They're in a very mediocre division and should be able to stay competitive all season long. In a way they remind me of the Sox in that they're not that good, but could easily make the playoffs.

I have almost no interest in the World Series.

What a roller coaster ride the last few days. I'm nervous as Hell about tonight's game. I'm worried about Danks going on short rest. He seems the least equipped to do so of the starters.

Anyway, it will be "all hands on deck" for both the Sox and the Twins.

What a game. Danks pitched the game of his life and established himself as someone who can be counted on in the clutch. The same can be said for Buehrle and Floyd.

I don't know what's going to happen with the Rays. I'm not going to think about that now and just savor the moment.

Best of luck with the Cubs. I'll be pulling for them, unless and until they meet the Sox in the World Series.

i know what you mean about the school thing...i'm in 2 writing classes this semester and i really hope i can handle it. i'll be writing 1 screenplay and 2 short stories this semester along with all the regular papers that come with being an english major. what classes are you taking?

sounds great! i wanna do my MFA in new york or la or boston after my undergrad.

Congrats on your Cubs. They're definitely cooking on all cylinders.

Hey Buddy, congratulations. It's quite the accomplishment. I'm sure you're tired but very content. I'm sorry to here about the woes with your girlfriends health. Hopefully things are much better now and you're both settling in to your new digs.

GO CUBS GO

Thank you so much for the special mention. I only wish I could do more to help.

Your frustration is understandable, just as your concern for your lady is obvious. I don't have anything brilliant to say, except that you need to be true to yourself. The worst that could happen is that your frustration and anger begin to impact on your feelings for her. I agree with a lot of what coleen said.

I'm not trying to jinx the Cubs. Since they took the first three from the Brewers, congratulations are already in order, no matter what happens today. Looks like the Sox are getting Ken Griffey. As of now, there's no news about who the Sox will give up for him. If it's just Brian Anderson, then it's okay I guess. I'd rather have a pitcher instead of Griffey though.

There's no reason to worry about the Angels yet. Let the Cubs and Sox make the playoffs first and then let the chips fall where they may. BTW, if the season ended today, Carlos Quentin would be the logical A.L. MVP in my opinion. What a find he's been.

I hope everything works out for you and your lady. Please keep me posted. I care.

S

I must say that you have to talk to her, like coleen said.

It is hard, and frustrating, I am sure. Trust me, I know my other half has had his share of wanting to scream due to my head issues, but talking about it all helps us both. I wish I had something profound to say that would help..but I have been like her for awhile, and am actually going through a bit of it myself currently.

I will be around tonight, if you want to talk.

Haven't seen The Dark Knight yet. Maybe next week.

Sorry that things that were getting better reverted to where they were previously. Hope that's only temporary and things improve for good.

Only you can decide how to deal with your book. From what I've observed of you, you will ultimately do whatever is best for the long term success of your publication.

You must be somewhat concerned about your Cubs. A case can be made that with the acquisition of Sabathia the Brewers are the better team. I really would like to see the Cubs make it to the World Series. Based on the last two miraculous comeback wins by my Sox, I'm more optimistic than ever that this could be another magical season for them, similar to 2005.

There would be nothing better in sports and of course for the city of Chicago than for a Red Line World Series. If that happens, I would be thrilled to share that experience with my Cubs fans friends like yourself and MrChairman.

Savage is just looking for attention and I didn't want to give it to him. He's like Ann Coulter. They don't exist.

Good to hear from you. I hope the worst is over.

I hope she gets better That kind of stuff is really tough.

I know this is different but when I moved to Canada I started getting really depressed and had some nervous breakdowns because I had no friends and nothing to do. But my husband was just there for me, it really helps a person get through things.
