I'm back to being connected to the Internet world, I'm not sure if that's good or bad. While I certainly do miss whatever brilliant, well-crafted snark is coming from the comments, it was kind of nice to be untethered from the digital world. As for the weekend, the Cubs pulled out 2 of 3 wins from the New York Mets - and with the Rockies getting swept - sneak to 5.5 back in the Wild Card. Important...

I'd like to live in that universe. But I don't, and so I can't escape the unhappy truth that...
