Baseball. Today I watched the Giants win their hundredth game. 12-3, fittingly enough, it was against the Dodgers. Tuesday we take on the Marlins. If we win that series, it's onto either the Braves or the Cubs.

Yes, Dusty Baker got the Cubs into the post season. I'm torn.

On one hand, I don't want to see Dusty succeed; he was such a whiner at the end of last season. His public bickering with Giants President Peter Magowan was just wrong. To quote Tom Hanks, "There's no crying in baseball." Dusty was acting like such a little bitch. Now he's taken the sad luckCubs into the playoffs.

On the other hand, I'd love to see the Giants just kick the Cub's asses. Of course, it could always go the other way, but I'm hoping the baseball gods decide that the Cubs are best where they are: as perenial also-rans.

A moment of silence for director Elia Kazan who died today at age 94. Get past his business with House Un-American Activities Commitee in the 50's. He was a gifted director who inspired many of today's greatest filmmakers. He's left behind a library of great films and will be missed.
