Ohmigod is today an amazing day in baseball!! Big Mac hit homerun 69 and 70. Now I'm actually in contention to win a contest with the St. Louis Post-Dispatch for correctly picking Mac's homerun total for 1998. The Yankees finished the season with at 114-48 and set a new record for total wins in the American League. The Mets were eliminated earlier today. So, now we have the Cubs and Giants vying for the wild card spot in the NL. Damn! Can this get any more exciting? No, I don't think so. And guess what? The Cubs lost, but, then again, so did the Giants. Now both teams will meet tomorrow in Chicago for a one game playoff. Da-a-amn!!
