When the team with the best record in baseball currently (15-7) plays the one with the worst (5-15), the outcome is something of foregone conclusion, so I have to give credit to the Nationals for keeping it interesting all the way up until the top of the ninth when their defence collapsed completely. (Seriously--how often do you see a walk, a balk, and a passed ball all in the same inning?) With the Cardinals so hot, there's next to no chance of us seeing them in New Busch this year, but I'm hopeful we'll be able to catch a game in Miller Park before the summer's out.
It was another rainy day up here on the North Side, but I'm okay with it since it's made everything so very green. The warm days last week jump-started a number of plants, among them the sugar maples, which are in full bloom around the house and along campus. Ferns are unfurling, shrubs are filling out, and the moss is lambent with verdor. The adjective that came to mind for the scene outside the office today was "Tolkienian".
