We had Star wars day. We had Cinco de Mayo yesterday and I think today we just get to have a normal May 6. And the Cubs are really good. They're really good. We know that now. There have been enough bits of data to pile together to understand that I'm not going to go through everything about, you know, playoff possibilities and percentages and all that stuff. You have watched this team and especially with the feeling of some of these walk off wins right now. I've used this term in the past and I'm kind of loath to use it now because it's Cheesy. And there are. There are better ways and more real ways of understanding such things. But I've used the term baseball magic, going back 30 years, that there are. I think it was Matt Fishman and I originally that were talking about it and saying, you know, sometimes teams just get that little bit of baseball magic where things are going weird, things are happening, things are going on. And if you listen off the Ivy today, I was giving the stats of, you know, what Michael Bush has done since that Canada Goose landed in shallow left field and was standing there right before he blooped in a hit. And the guy's been like a 1000 ops since that moment. There was somebody else that mentioned that person in Tampa whose ass fell out of their pants. And I think The Cubs are 20 and 6 since the unveiling of the giant Tampa ass crack. So they're whatever may have caused this kind of baseball magic. Other than Jed Hoyer putting together a really solid baseball team and Craig Counsel doing what he can to get through the meteor shower of injuries to steer the ship and keep his deflector shields intact, working his way through the. Whatever you want to call it, you know, the minefield. I'm mixing my science fiction movie metaphors here is I mixed Galaxy Quest with Empire Strikes Back. I will never do that again.
