It's a Beautiful Day for Baseball

Here are the good things about going to see the Cubs play the Nationals today:

1) I get to see the Cubs.
2) It's hot outside, but I'm in the shade.
3) Aramis Ramirez hit two more home runs, which gives him four in the last two games. All really hammered.
4) Seeing LSU alum Todd Walker in person. I last saw him hit a grand slam in Alex Box Stadium in the College World Series.
5) Singing "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" in the 7th inning stretch and hearing thousands of Cubs fans drown out the Nats fans with "root, root, root for the CUBBIES"

Here are the bad things:

1) Seeing Neifi Perez take the field in person. I'm pretty sure he's the most useless offensive player the Cubs have ever had.
2) Watching Phil Nevin start over Matt Murton.
3) Watching the Cubs lose.
4) Watching Alex Escobar beat the Cubs for the second game in a row. Alex. Escobar.
